The fact that Gordon Brown knew that the Icelandic financial Institutions were at risk 6 months before the run on these happened and did nothing, will constantly haunt Gordon Brown's remaining political life. New Labour has been claiming that the UK financial crisis was caused by a big boy who did it and ran away, but we all know that the big boy is still sitting in 10 Downing Street and will do it again if he is not removed by voters.
