And now ... back to the recession

Thank goodness the G-jamboree is over. Didn't they realise we're in the middle of a recession?

I listened to the post-G comments of that wise man, Bob Geldof. An extra $1 trillion resources for the IMF to distribute: means an extra $1 trillion aid.

So there we have it. Gordon Brown has called the world's top leaders together to finance the passion that's always most dear to his heart – Overseas Aid.

Well, good luck to them – the poorest countries, low-income countries, emerging economies and developing economies. I suppose someone will pay.

Hang on a minute ... aren't we in the middle of a recession?

Update
Fraser Nelson tells the real story.
