Brown's Nightmare Week Continues ... In Poland

Brown's Nightmare Week Continues ... In Poland

Can it really get much worse for Gordon Brown. Having been snubbed by the Pakistani President yesterday, today it was the turn of the Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, to deliver a bit of ritual humiliation to our revered leader. He told him in no uncertain terms that his country would not be following Brown's disastrous economic policy.

It is not for me to comment on other countries, but the Polish government at a time of financial crisis behaved with full responsibility in terms of its public funds and the budget deficit. After a few months you can say that our economic and financial policy has been accepted both at home and abroad. The government made the assumption that the best way to deal with the problem was not to increase public spending but the availability of public finance. Effective supervision of banks and sticking to the rules, not exaggerating with living on credit – these are the most certain ways to avoid [the consequences] of financial crisis.

Better not let Gordon get anywhere near the plane's cockpit on the way back to Heathrow.
