Are we too hypercritical..."</i> We're just myopic. We see Gordon Brown and we don't like him because, frankly, he's not very likeable compared to Blair or Cameron or Boris.

We're all currently enjoying the benefits of the fact that we do still have a world financial system, so, we've taken that for granted. We have forgotten (or in most cases never realized) how close to absolute disaster we came. “Why is this? Are we too hypercritical…”
