Gordon Brown's Economic Nightmares

Hot on the tracks of the new political gem of an idea, whereby Gordon Brown adopts an Alan Sugar persona and listens to the political views of young Britons, how about something even better? Step forward;

"Gordon Brown's Economic Nightmares"

Picture the scene, as intrepid Gordon comes in to review the finances of a random nation, going through it's books looking for assets to sell (like Gold reserves), shaking the pockets of taxpayers for any spare change, or any that might be lost down the the back of the sofa, thinking up devious ways to increase the national debt without anybody realising, dreaming up loads of stealth taxes on pensions and ISAs, while maintaining the illusion of "not increasing income tax", and dreaming up endless ways to drag more people into the welfare state and thus vote to retain the status quo in future elections.

First candidate...the UK.

Oh hang on, he's already done that one.
