Things you would rather not have said

This is a thread about things that politicians would rather not have said.
Now as a result of being an avid reader of this forum, I have learnt the error of my ways and I now realise that the global recession was a figment of my imagination. It was all down to Gordon Brown. And the Tories are the party to get us back on the straight and narrow.
So I will start off this trawl through politician's bon mots as we say in Blackpool with the following.
"A generation ago, the very idea that a British politician would go to Ireland to see how to run an economy would have been laughable. The Irish Republic was seen as Britain?s poor and troubled country cousin, a rural backwater on the edge of Europe. Today things are different. Ireland stands as a shining example of the art of the possible in long-term economic policymaking, and that is why I am in Dublin: to listen and to learn."
Who said that? Okay I will tell you. George Osborne in 2006. I can't wait til this guy really gets cracking on the economy!
Happy Days are here again. I can feel it in my can of Cameron piss.
