"the beginning of a new golden age for the City of London."

Daily Referendum reminds us of Gordon Brown's 2007 Mansion House speech in which the great clunking fool said:

"So I congratulate you Lord Mayor and the City of London on these remarkable achievements, an era that history will record as the beginning of a new golden age for the City of London."

"And I believe it will be said of this age, the first decades of the 21st century, that out of the greatest restructuring of the global economy, perhaps even greater than the industrial revolution, a new world order was created."

We all know how that turned out. It's also how odd how fond of the phrase "New World Order" Gordon Brown is, is there something we should know?
