And before you say it, Jay, I think we'd be in an equally bad place, but in different ways, if Labour had been constantly in power since then!
No I'm certainly not saying that Wyn far from it, but we may still have a few bars of gold, tucked away, and I certainly believe that we wouldn't have had so much debt as we have now. Looking at it the other way, in what state would this country be in if Labour had been continuously in power since the war
