Alistair Darling told the truth and gets booed!

[makkie]

I think most of you saw the headline some days ago:

and @ iTulip:

Now I am just listening to BBC-World and what is new is a lot of critics and voices against Darling for doing so.

The basic argument is not to scare the people by speaking out.

How crazy is that ? "You can't handle the truth" - or what ?
Keep the public in the dark?
What concept is what ?

I know this might sound a bit naiv: "... isn't it always so ..."

But actually openly to demand NOT TO BE TOLD is a new dimension in this game.

regards :rolleyes:

Bush: "Wall Street Got Drunk"

Probably not a good comment for a recovering alcoholic to make, but there it is. On Friday, June 18th, at a fundraiser for candidate Pete Olson in Houston, Bush said:
”There’s no question about it. Wall Street got drunk - that’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras - it got drunk and now it’s got a hangover.
