Brown sees 'new world order' after crisis

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Monday the financial crisis must not be an excuse to retreat into protectionism and instead be viewed as the "difficult birth-pangs of a new global order".

In a speech, he will urge countries to avoid "muddling through as pessimists" and "make the necessary adjustment to a better future and setting the new rules for this new global order", according to his office.

Official data confirmed Friday that Britain is in recession. Days earlier, the government unveiled a new package of measures to help the flow of credit in the economy, but Brown has argued global action is needed for a quick recovery.

He will warn Monday that the crisis has given the world a choice: "We could allow this crisis to start a retreat from globalisation.

"As some want, we could close our markets -- for capital, financial services, trade and for labour -- and therefore reduce the risks of globalisation.

"But that would reduce global growth, deny us the benefits of global trade and confine millions to global poverty.

Looks more like a miscarriage to me, but what do I know.

Brown can see his socialist utopia just on the horizon. He's hoping he can hang on long enough to be left standing as the one-eyed king.

GORDON BROWN'S LOST HIS MARBLES


GORDON Brown was last night accused of “losing his marbles” after hailing Britain’s bloodbath of job cuts as the “birth pangs of a new global order”.

In a speech that risked a furious backlash, the Prime Minister said the recession was his opportunity to forge a new global financial system.

Astonishingly, Mr Brown even claimed to have predicted the current financial crisis 10 years ago. His boasts came as the tally of jobs axed or under threat this month hit 50,000.



...

Tory MP David Davies said: “The Prime Minister’s words indicate that he is losing his marbles as well as the economy. Gordon Brown is the last person anyone would want in charge of a new world order.”

By George Trefgarne and Robert Shrimsley


GORDON BROWN was accused last night of trying to take Britain into the European single currency by stealth after surprising the City with an announcement that he was selling more than half of the country's gold reserves, leaving Britain the lowest bullion holdings of any major country.

Ascribing a seeming disaster as "birth pains"...I've heard that somewhere before. Oh ya, military adventurism in the ME ;)
