In the past Margaret you have in your posts pointed out to people that it's no use blaming Thatcher or the last Tory Government.. yet you are quick to blame Labour and Brown.

It is a bit different isn't it?...blaming a government from the 1980's to blaming a government that has just left office, and whose politicians squandered lied and cheated the tax payer.....that is, unless it has escaped your notice, you and me.
And by your reckoning the government in power cannot be all powerful if they are left with the mistakes that go back to Margaret Thatcher.

You haven't answered the question that I asked earlier......how would you deal with the current financial crisis we have been left with?

The Labour government fostered a welfare dependent society...with benefits being paid out to people who had not paid into the system.
Britain no longer has a manufacturing base...which means we no longer make products to sell on the world market......we provide services, and these are not great earners, especially in the climate of global recession.

We have to realise that whatever services we use must be paid for...if you haven't got the money then you can't pay.
Try getting your shopping from Tesco without paying for it and see how far you get.
If Labour had got in do you think you would have been in for an easier ride?
If you think that then you obviously do not live in the real world or understand the problems that beset us.
