I can't defend that because you're right and current governments should learn from the past in order to avoid the same mistakes but pointing the finger and saying 'Labour has forced this on us' won't make Osborne's pill any less bitter. Make decisions that are good for today instead of saying that the old landlord has made this necessary. All governments are guilty of saying the same thing but it is very lazy politics when that's the best answer you can come up with. Peter Britcliffe is guilty of the same rhetoric but it reduces credibility when the same party is in control at local, county and national levels.
That's getting off the point. To my mind, George Osborne is simply going about things in too harsh a way and in the wrong directions.
We'll see what today brings.
