Gordon Brown has admitted he made a mistake in not introducing tougher bank regulation when he was chancellor.

How nice of him after all those years gloating about how prudent he'd been followed by all that denial when the wheels came off just after he'd predicted the start of a Golden era for the City of London and started doling out gongs to the likes of Fred the Shred....
I reckon somewhere within the bowels of New Labour's grubby spin machine someone's decided that a large section of the electorate know Brown got it badly wrong and many will vote accordingly. These people are lost and 'admitting' his mistake won't affect their decision but a display of 'sincerity' at this time may just convince a few waverers to vote for him on the basis that he's at last accepted some responsibility for the catastrophe he allowed to unfold right under his nose.
Some of these people will no doubt feel better about the claims that no savers lost deposits as a result of the firm (and necessary) action taken to save the banks. Well that may be true but what is equally true is that, due to the lack of oversight of the banks that were funding Brown's manic spending spree, we're all going to pay a very heavy price. Our currency is in the doldrums, taxpayers will pay more for less, jobs will be lost, services will be cut and those who rely on their savings for some additional income to supplement their meagre pensions will continue to see that reduced to a trickle and their hard earned capital eroded.
Cast your minds back to all those promises to get tough on the bankers and force our newly 'nationalised' institutions banks to lend to business and stimulate the recovery. Well what's actually happened?? More, cynical rhetoric designed solely to mislead the people for as long as possible. Does anyone really believe anything these people say or do now?
