Can Gordo the Prime Minister fix the economy? His reply is, just like Bob the Builder’s, “yes I can“:
I can steer this economy through difficult times… I feel that I am in the right position to be able to sort out the problems that we have now… Good economic decisions can help people through difficult times.
But since he has been Chancellor or Prime Minister for the last eleven years, there is no-one except him who is responsible and can be blamed for any downturn or economic problems.
Any economic problems we have, he has caused with his supposedly “good economic decisions” of the last decade. And with Brown determined to stay on until at least the next election, there is no-one to blame but him for any economic problems.
The “nice decade” which existed despite (rather than because of) Gordon Brown is now over. There are 1,200 people expected to lose their job every day over the next 18 months - a time period which takes us very close to the latest that the next general election can be held - it seems increasingly likely that this government will just continue to haemorrage support.
To take your mind off the impending economic disasters, here’s the Bob the Builder song:

1As other Now Show listeners will almost certainly point out, “Yes we can” is actually the catchphrase of Barack Obama:

2Yes, but there’s no way that Brown can be compared to Obama - they’re at completely different ends of their political lives. Obama’s is just beginning and will send him to the top; Browns is as good as over and he is hanging on by the skin of his teeth.
Besides, Bob the Builder’s song is better!
