David Cameron has done himself few favours with his attacks on the P.M over Northern Rock especially when you consider what his friends in the Press were saying:

January 2007 - The Times "a new era of bigger returns for shareholders"

April 2007 - The Telegraph " discovered the most virtous of cycles"

June 2007 despite a profits warning, The Times gave the launch of its "silver savings online account" for the over 50's "an unequivocal thumbs up"

The slide in share prices according to the Telegraph offered "a buying opportunity" and "a risk investors should take"

August 2007 "are customers safe ?" " yes" said the Telegraph.

This comes to you care of Peter Wilby of Media Guardian.
