But the BBC told me that Gordon Brown had saved the UK (and the world) economy

The BBC report that:
"US share prices have plummeted on renewed worries of a global recession."
Hidden away near the end of the article is the unbelievable news that
"Earlier in Europe, markets were also badly hit by fears of recession - the UK's FTSE 100 fell 7.16%, Germany's Dax shed 6.49% and France's Cac 40 lost 6.82%."
How can this be, the FTSE down 7.16% but the BBC have been telling me for some days now that Gordon Brown single-handedly saved the UK economy with his brave and decisive action. Most peculiar and how odd that the BBC story concerns the US economy not the US economy; one might almost think that the BBC was trying to protect Gordon Brown's reputation...
