Benedict White has tagged me in the latest political meme to make the rounds, the “It’s Got To Be Gordon” meme started by Matt Wardman. So here goes:

2 things Gordon Brown should be proud of:
- Giving the Bank of England independence
- Managing as Chancellor for ten years without seriously screwing over the economy

2 things he should apologise for:
- Raking money in from pension funds
- Creating lots of new and unnecessary taxes, complete with excessive amounts of red tape

2 things he should do immediately when he becomes PM:
- Scrap inheritance tax
- Announce that Britain won’t be joining the Euro for the foreseeable future

2 things he should do while he is PM:
- Devolve more power to local councils
- Find a better way to fund universities than Student Loans

I now have to tag eight people, and they are: Not Saussure, Tom Paine, Theo Spark, Imagined Community, Shades of Grey, Harry Hook of The Final Redoubt, Reactionary Snob, and Tony Sharp. [Sorry!]
