I'll try and post this in simple words for you.

Labour did not cause the recession.

However much Gordon and Tone might have though they ran the whole world – or would like to have done – they did not. And they did not cause a [u]global financial crisis[/url]. They did not cause Lehman Brothers to go tits up. Or any of the other banks. They did not cause the banks to screw up so badly that they needed bailing out.

Now, which part of this do you struggle to get your brain around?

And it is equally a fact that Labour, however much it might have been happy for the perception to be such, did not spend record amounts on the public services.

Still, you 'think' that a new product can be created, designed, built and markets found for it overnight.

if you can point out anywhere i said labour 'caused' the recession i'd be most grateful. clearly someone with your huge brain will have no trouble.

mind you, you think we should dole out money to stop people robbing us. so it may take a while.

You blamed Labour for the unemployment and debt at the end of their time in power. Seen as though both of these were lower at the onset of the financial crisis than when Labour came to power the only way it makes sense to blame labour is if you blame them for the financial crisis which was the only thing causing them to rise. I think Mintball was giving you too much credit though, I think you just don't have a clue.

I think the "spend up, leaving us in the worst recession" might have been influential, just a thought...
