But the economic crisis was caused by the greed, criminal in some cases, of the right-wing leaders of the major banks and financial institutions. What you seem to be suggesting is that a party of the left caused the problem, and, perhaps, by extension, it is left wing thinking that is at its root. Then how can we account for what happened in the US? Their economy took as big a shlt-kicking as yours, and under an ultra right wing government. Nah, I really can't go along with this ideological argument for why the UK economy is in trouble. |
Okay there's been a recession Eric, but the fact that we were the first in and last out, mainly because Flash Gordon was more interested in his own world status and tried to save the world single handed. The fact that Labour inherited the best economic figures of any incoming government in our history, and left us with the biggest debt in peace time history speaks volumes. They deregulated the Banks sold off our assets and still made a dogs breakfast of it. Oh and by the way your a nice guy too Eric
