FOUR TIMES (since the 60s) we'd had a Labour government.
FOUR TIMES its been an economic disaster.

We'd better not mention when Labour increased HP deposits to 25% to stop people spending ....
... or when they devalued the テつ£ making everyone 20% worse off overnight ....
... or when they called in the IMF to bail us out ...
... or when (after having been in control of financial affairs for THREE TERMS), it all went tits-up !!!!!!
Brown at least did it,and removed boom and bust Tory economics till the 'worldwide crash' came about.
....... are you for real ????
HE DID everything ON A CREDIT CARD (and we'll be paying for it for decades to come)
Oh dear ITK you're getting selective amnesia
I'm simply stating that both parties have made their own mess with the economy..Thatcher borrowed more at times,less at others,as did Brown...but to say things were perfect under Heath,but crap under Labour is a joke...The IMF would have happened regardless of who was in power back in the 70s...remember in her first year Thatcher tripled unemployment and inflation...hardly an economic miracle worker.
Ouch!

hedda
has Britain not become richer year after year since time immemorial?
Due mainly to property prices soaring..not because of manufacturing or productivity (except in financial markets and much of that wealth is based on share prices, another illusion)
sort of thing that floats ITK's boat tho but it's well known he designed the Titanic.
