The economy picked up after leaving the Exchange Rate Mechanism, and, under John Major, the beginning of Britains longest period of continuous economic growth began.
The cross-party term f***wits is useful when dealing with politicians. They are all f***wits except for Nicola Sturgeon, Natalie Louise Bennett and Russell Brand.

Despite a shaky start when it appeared that she'd been born without a working memory, Natalie Louise Bennett is a non-f***wit because her party have the best policies.
Nicola Sturgeon ought to be PM of the UK, so she can carry out Scottish independence.
Russell Brand, although not a politician at the moment, should be knighted so he can oversee the abolition of the House of Lords and check whether Janner is actually demented. He can also tell them all jokes as they wave goodbye to their £300 daily personal allowance.

If we ignore my major mistakes, my record is completely awesome.

I've just seen Ed Miliband make a speech live on TV. Not once did he look at a script, he seemed to me to actually believe in what he was saying, and IMO, what he said made a lot of sense.

Failing to predict an increase in the value of gold so selling it "cheaply" and missing out on money we didn't actually have to lose is seen as a bigger mistake than throwing around £27bn down the drain chasing an ideology on Black Wednesday. 15% interest rates and a loss of billions caused directly by the party who claim they're the only people who can manage the economy.That
Effectively says "If we ignore one of the biggest mistakes in macroecomic history John Major had a great record"..
Good use of assets but not too clever in the eyes of propaganda merchants, gold bugs and assorted nutters.3) Taking the difference between selling point and the peak of the market needs and not accounting for what was done with the money gained from the sale is what what the kids call a FAIL. (the revenues from Brown's sale went into US, Euro and Japanese bonds).
