JoshC is obviously living on another planet and you have the memory of a goldfish, or the intellect of one.
Yes Britain had been booming but the conditions for this was laid by that much despised government of John Major, this was in spite of Labour, your lot of idiots inherited a pretty damn good situation, however your lot then went on a spending spree and also failed to keep on top of the city’s worst excesses, the FSA has failed to do its job.
Funny enough Gordon Brown has managed to carry out one of Michael Foots objectives, nationalise the UK banks.
Shall we talk about the 70′s then and one of your chappies running off cap in hand begging to the IMF, and dead bodies unburied for weeks due to strikes. The hard medicine of the 1980′s was so much harder because your lot had failed to do anything right in the 60′s and 70′s.
This current government is the worst of all time, because they wasted a huge amount of money during the good years and they have nothing left apart from creating a huge debt to deal with the recession. If I ran my business like Labour has run the UK, I would be bankrupt and living in a cardboard box.
In my opinion Britain should have been in a nice position to weather this storm based on competent government with inly a slight increase in debt, but your lot of incompetents have taken us right back to the 70′s.
