Who said what.

"British jobs for British workers". Who do you think said that? Sounds like a BNP slogan doesn't it? And yet it is attributed to the Prime Minister - an old Labour man through and through. Perhaps this does no more than highlight the fact that the political spectrum is not so much a straight line as a circle, with the extreme left very close politically to the extreme right. And on the other hand, perhaps it is just something dreamt up by the media, because try as I might, I cannot find any reference to Gordon Brown saying that. He did apparently say - or more accurately a Downing Street spokesman quoted him as saying that he was looking to provide "a British job for every British worker" which isn't quite the same thing. Pays not to take these things on face value.
