"He seems to be putting down the last Labour party that led the country whilst agreeing that if he were in such a position (laughable i know) that he would have done the same thing."

How do you work that one out? He said he would have done the same thing with bailing out the banks, that was it.

His answer is confusing.

Maybe the fault is at your end Metro.

There seem to be a few other people who have managed to grasp what I am saying.

Tories and Labour - opposite sides of the same coin.

.......

Well it seems as if he can't decide on whether they put the country in this position or whether in fact he would have acted the same way.

He probably needs to look at the levels of growth more closely to understand why certain decisions are made instead of the usual bile of

'Put us there in the first place'

None of my posts here are actually to do with the banking collapse.

Please try and keep up.

And as you seem to be completely oblivious to this, The Labour Government were borrowing money on a massive amount about six years prior to the banking collapse. It started just after the second term.

In the first term, Gord was in the black.

VC strikes me as a Thatcherite but with Call-Me-Dave's accession to the apex of the Tory party, he seems to have defected to the UKIP.

TRC

I vote for who I believe is right to lead the country at the time.

I voted for Blair first time round.

So many people in the UK (and the USA) waste their votes by alligning themselves to one party. It is pretty much why nothing ever gets fixed.

rubbish! the labour party really need to debunk this tory myth that labour were borrowing money on a huge scale. don't believe me? check out the FACTS.

As you can see from the table borrowing only increased on a huge scale when brown had to bail the banks. the tories claim that the labour party nearly "bankrupted" the country. Britain was always able to maintain its debt payments and borrow at interest rates at a 300 year low! Fact! The tories claim that we had the biggest debt of any G20 country! this is utterly WRONG! our debt with regards to GDP was 59% the facts are as follows:

USA = 65%
GREECE = 94%
FRANCE = 60%
JAPAN = 104%
PORTUGAL = 62%

Gordon Brown steered us through the deepest recession for eighty years without pushing the national debt anywhere near historical normality, let alone a high. He also managed a recovery without high inflation, high interest rates, or high unemployment. FACT!

Wow Joely.... VC well and truly blown out the water

Well done
