Northern Rock's Labour Heritage

Having been a bit dismissive about the Northern Rock affair in the previous post, I see that blogger 'Guido Fawkes', in one of his rare serious posts, casts suspicion on the reasons for the government's bail out of Northern Rock, and likens the whole sorry business to a commentary on Brown's handling of the economy in microcosm. The post is here. And some of the comments following provide an interesting dialogue, some challenging and some endorsing the Fawkes view.
