Brought the country down?

Last time I heard they brought it back from the brink. Inflation in excess of 20%, etc etc.

The current government has benefitted from the Tory legacy when they came to power. Gordon Brown is doing his best to cock it up, and it looks like he is beginning to succeed.

Enjoy it while it lasts - Labour won't make a fourth consecutive term

Let's see what the reaction is when Brussels is handed the reins.......and you can vote all you like it won't make a damnsworth of difference.

It didn't this time, why should it any other time

Re: The morning after.
 

Some say it is actually good that Labour got in so that they have to deal with the finanical mess the country is now approaching. Consumer debt at 1 TRILLION, Interest Rates about to rise due to massive borrowing by GB. They have promised to sort out MRSA, Immigration and social behaviour. If the Tories get their act together they can show what a mess this country is really in and let Labour deny it.
