Brown Needs A Permanent Crisis
Jonathan Freedland: "Brown needs it to be 1943 for as long as possible. He needs voters to believe the crisis is ongoing, that we are still in the emergency phase. Ideally, he would go into the next election as Dr Brown, still wearing his white coat, still administering medicine to the patient on life support."

I don't know about Brown, but generally, I believe this crisis is a big chance for politicians all over the world to strengthen their positions. Any crisis? Unemployment? Bankrupts? Here come the knights in shining amour to save it! Unfortunately, they forget to mention they are the ones who caused it (but you know, it's much easier to blame capitalism...) and their only weapons are our taxes...
