Alistair Darling's US counterpart blasted him in explosive terms for double-crossing Washington over the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a new book claims.

Former US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said the Chancellor "had grin-f*****" the US by blocking a plan to allow Barclays to take over the stricken US bank.


That's a turn of phrase I've never heard before :lol:

And you have to laugh at old Eyebrows getting the best of anyone :lol: :lol: :lol:

For once, respect to Mr. Darling.

I like that when the US wanted us to do something we were their most important ally. Can't see it having been same the other way round.

Barclays' bought up the good parts after it went bust without exposing themselves to Lehmans' hidden toxic assets anyway.
