G20, will they really listen?
The G20 summit is right at my doorstep, well just a few miles away, and I am urged by my friends to go and have a look. It is a historic moment where twenty world leaders will gather to talk about our economic future. I wonder if they are going to save us? And who will be the leader? Naturally it would be Obama, he is the new messiah so sure he will take the lead in saving us. But Gordon Brown who aspired to save the world the first moment he came to office will challenge him. This is his BIG chance so Obama should be kind and give Brown the credits. But Gordon will find some serious challenge in Nicolas Sarkozy. This little bulldog has shown his teeth even before the summit has started. He and his big German friend Angela just won’t have anything of this Anglo-Saxon let’s-save-the-world-party. No, it has to be done their way or they go home. So reassuring, the world is falling apart and our political leaders treat the summit as a playground for their own egos. Or am I being to negative?
