Gordon Brown has been criticised by the head of Opec for warning about the danger of volatile oil prices and told that he is "confused" about the issue.
In a speech in London, Mr Brown said "wild fluctuations" in prices in recent years had damaged the global economy.
Prices have tumbled from a record high of close to $150 a barrel in July to below $40, the lowest level since 2004.
But Abdalla Salem El-Badri of oil producers body Opec said the PM should focus more on cutting UK petrol taxes.

Hold my sides!
The only sad thing about this story is it takes some Saudi guy to point out the obvious which has evaded the UK media for decades!

I just pinched this from the Labour Blog... (http://www.labourlist.org/)
Another New Year is upon us And my hair is starting to grey, Nu-Labour's lies come as no great surprise On this icy cold January day.
Britain's debt is deeper than ever And Gordon just wants to waste more, His party of spin is about to cave in ---Things are much the same as before.
The sane say the future is gloomy, NuLab say the future is bright, Brown the disgrace lied right to our face When he promised us we'd be alright.
There's not much left of Great Britain, It's been carved up by Brown and his greed, His hunger for power grows worse by the hour--- He's a sinner in thought, word and deed.
Gordon knows that his reign is over And his jowls are starting to sag, His desperate plan is just like the man--- A fart in a Brown paper bag.

That gives me an idea. With some plastic surgery & a voice coach we could replace Gordo with Nick on the quiet and have someone in No. 10 who would do less damage to the country...
