Gordon Brown on You & Up Yours
Iain Dale 4:11 PM
GB: … I’ve just explained Julian what light regulation that you were talking about meant. It meant that where companies were doing well and there was no problem associated with them why should we be heavy handed? Where companies were doing badly the FSA was under responsibility to be heavy handed …
JW: But the judgements were wrong, look at where we are now.
GB: … in some cases the banking crisis that spread right across the world affected good banks as well as bad banks, they couldn’t escape being polluted by what was happening across the world. So I’m happy to take responsibility but if you do not understand and others don’t understand what the problem we’re dealing with, we’ll never solve it, we’ll never solve it.
JW: Let me go back to Melanie Abbot.

When Gordon Brown appeared on Radio 4 this lunchtime with Julian Worricker, it wasn't so much You and Yours, more You and Up Yours. He came very close to losing his temper when asked why he won’t say sorry and when accused of making wrong judgements. He tells Julian Worricker and the caller that they don’t know what they’re talking about.
