Britain just like Dubai claims Alistair Darling

"You see, I'm not the only one to make a few calculation errors! Dubai is just like us!"

If that means massive debt, built on sand, a reigime that coudn't give a flying f*ck about its citizens, nothing to export, run by bankers who are out to make a killing for themselves, the only thing left to offer is an architecture and weather based tourism sector, a tradition of secrecy amongst the hierarchy then 'Yes, I suppose it is!'

Oh but they do have glorious sunshine, a freindly neighbour Arab state that will bail it out after it's taught them a lesson on 'who's the daddy' and nothing, nothing, nothing like Liverpool, dickhead!

The prosecution rests mi'lod
