Gordon Brown accepts responsibility? Well, sorta.

Of course. I’m the person who is in charge and I have got to take responsibility for what happens.

But I am explaining to you that if you go around the world, you will see that every country is affected.

So it’s all the worlds fault, after all. Not Gordo’s – everyone elses.

The fact that Gordo was Chancellor for eleven years and systematically ensured that there was no leftover money should the economy falter is by no means his fault. Understand?
