In a letter printed in the Daily Telegraph, the group said Mr Brown’s leadership had been a ‘catastrophic failure’ and that he had actively encouraged the banks’ risk-taking culture, which has left the country with ‘one of the biggest budget deficits in the advanced world’. The group plans to start an online petition and eventually deliver their complaints to Downing Street.

What do Kent Invicta Chamber members think?  Is the situation the country finds itself in now down to mismanagement of the countries economy from the Whitehall purse holders? Can we look more closely at the way the consumer has borrowed massively over the past decade to support a possessions driven lifestyle? Has small business set their sights too high and is now paying the price for poorly thought out business plans?

This Chamber wants to know your thoughts on where we find ourself today, tell us your stories about how the current economic climate has affected your business.  Tell us the good and the bad and tell us at whose feet you lay the blame.
