RIP Eddie.

If you ever wondered what happened to your dartboard – it was on the wall in my house for many years.

Not to steady Eddie, in fact down right profligate.

The Bank of England deliberately stoked the consumer boom that has led to record house prices and personal debt in order to avert a recession, the former Bank Governor Eddie George admitted yesterday.

With all due respect Guido, I think you’ve chosen a pretty bad headline, considering this post is about someone’s death. Your point about what he would have made of quantitative easing is perfectly vaid, though.

Remember the gold that Gordon sold cheap? It’s in the shed….

You only have to read DT blogs by people like Iain Martin to understand the Telegraph’s problem: they are politically and philosophically all over the place. Martin doesn’t know what he is other than a self-publicist.

Dear Road Hog- No! Guido has not fucked up (God forgive me the use of that language – first time I’ve ever used it anywhere and hopefully the last) Eddie George , his intellect, his grasp of economics and his enormous diplomatic skills in dealing with poisonous idiots like Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and their unspeakable henchman during the years he served the Bank of England is much appreciated and admired here by many of us, even those, like me, who did not know him. He was a man of many talents and a gentleman. That could not be said of any of the others mentioned in this post. It certainly could not be said said of Gordon Brown and his right hand men Tom Watson./Charlie Whelan/McBride/Draper et al

Anyhow, my elderly bones are creaking and I need to take a Horlicks and go to bed. So Goodnight, God Bless. Tomorrow’s another day and I am so looking forward to seeing the polls. I just know Gordon is going to score 80% Best Leader Ever!!!!!! Not.

Dr David Kelly is an icon for truth and decency. He was hounded to his death by the actions of Blair, Scarlett ,Alastair Campbell and Hoon. Hutton has blood on his hands for allowing them to get away with it. Dr David Kelly will not be forgotten . And in present day terms when the history of this rotten government is written I believe that Gordon Brown will be regarded, historically, as more notorious than Richard III .

Many of us, (especially Tom Watson MP,) will pass by the wayside of history. Guido will not be one of those. He has forced the river to change its course.We have yet to see where that river is going. But this is an historic moment and it will direct us away from poisonous New Labour, the sycophantic Daily Telegraph and the spineless BBC. Ironically (what a mindless idiot I was,) these 3 icons were how I used to mark my day. Like many more like me, I suspect, we are about to experience a sea change in national opinon………. I think , as an East A

I’m not happy with the title of this thread, or what it suggests about Eddie George.

Guido, you’ve made a fuck up here, respect the man and apologise for this thread or become part of the Zanu Libor type people.

Thank you. Yes I did enjoy my swim . Tomorrow I’m going to London to take my baby (grand-daughter) to a private consultant , because the nhs has failed us again. We believe she has a tumour, but our local nhs paediatricians ,whose motto is, we are only interested in our status , expenses and pensions, in line with the present government culture, is doing nothing. We are therefore, as caring grandparents, despairing of this government, using our pension monies to get her diagnosed and treated. So much for another failed Labour policy ‘ Every Child Matters.’
