Let's not forget that austerity measures are in place/planned throughout Europe. The Germans plan to cut £66 Billion, the French $65 Billion, The Italians €25 Billion, and let's not even mention Spain, Greece and Iceland. Do you want to blame Labour for that too?
Fact is: there was an international financial crisis that has hit most countries. The UK may have been in a worse position to start with and may have been more exposed to it due to the importance of the financial sector in the UK, but the reality is that the UK is not alone in having to make tough cuts.
