Exactly. I won't argue against those points because thet's not really the discussion at hand (we could reel off lists of positive and negative things he did as chancellor, and all would be dependant on our POV) nor did I say he was a good PM or Chancellor - For the record I think he was largely a competent Chancellor but a distinctly mediocre PM. I was simply refuting Conan's assertion the Brown caused significant damage to the country in the three years he was in the top job. Anyone and everyone who had been in power at that moment would have propped up the banks, not doing so would have utterly destroyed the economy (while I do quite enjoy Schadenfreude and did somewhat wish for that to happen, I understand I'm in a fairly small minority there).
