Brown: 2008 “Difficult and Dangerous Situation for the World Economy”
January 6th, 2008Via: Guardian:
Gordon Brown today issues a powerful declaration that 2008 will decide the fate of his premiership as he pledges to push through a series of controversial decisions that will shape Britain for decades to come.
In his first major interview of the year, the Prime Minister serves notice on his opponents that he is planning a fightback which will see him taking unpopular decisions on nuclear power, airport expansion and house building.
Brown delivers a strong warning that voters will face tough economic conditions this year as the US credit crunch spreads across the Atlantic. ‘This is a difficult and dangerous situation for the world economy,’ he says.
