Best placed?

I have blogged previously in October, in November and and November and in December about Gordon Brown's lie that Britain is best placed to weather the world financial situation. If the UK economy is so well placed then why did Sterling reach an all time low against the Euro today and why is Sterling down over 25% against the US Dollar in the last year? Best placed, I think not; the UK is almost the worst placed economy thanks to the last 11 years of Labour misrule and the incompetent economic management of Gordon Brown.
