I agree with you totally about Blair Jay, as you can see from my post, but even many Tories agree that Brown presided over a very good period for this country, economically. The facts speak for themselves, Jay, record low interest rates, low unemployment (compared to the Thatcher years and even now), with even the Tory press grudgingly admitting that things were doing well. Yes, things went downhill toward the end but I can't help thinking what we are going to be left with when this lot go at (probably) the next election. I'm sure their wealthy pals will still be laughing all the way to the bank though.
