Between the Northern Rock and a Hard Place

It looks like Alastair Darling is in a bit of a spot with economy still looking decidedly shaky and now with the Northern Rock monkey on his back. It’s not looking good for the ‘dead man walking’. Another bad week on world markets could be spark the end for the chancellor.

Since then it has certainly been Obama's star in the ascendancy.

This all tied in with the Banksy wall image being sold, so it was only fitting to marry the two and produce " Blunderwall."

More updates soon.
