The last government to have a budget surplus was Labour - Blair/Brown. National Debt has quadrupled to £2.5+ trillion since the Tories returned to power. We are simply borrowing to exist - and the £3T figure is just around the corner. Maybe we've already there! Interest on the Debt is phenomenal - equating (almost) to another NHS; money totally down the drain, every month.

Why is everyone acting so scandalised that the Tories have not funded building sufficiently over the past decade or so?
They have not funded any area of public life sufficiently during this time...
They have neglected it all.
They started under the excuse of "austerity" and have been fucking the public sector since.
