Gordon Brown refuses to apologise over recession despite plea by Alistair Darling

Telegraph
"The Prime Minister has rejected pleas from Cabinet colleagues and will not use a speech in Washington on Wednesday to issue any sort of apology for the role he played while Chancellor in allowing banks and the City to operate unfettered. ...in direct contrast to his Chancellor, he defiantly believes that the problems were unique and were not the fault of the system he put in place and presided over while at the Treasury for a decade. ....
The Prime Minister also knows that if he admits he made mistakes he will hand a massive propaganda coup to the Conservatives."
