In his rose tinted world PFI, illegal wars, the banking crisis and the nation's massive debts weren't down to the failures of a govt of 13 years, they were all down to the previous govt. Odd how he seems to have forgotten that absurd 'logic' 3 years into a new govt tasked with trying to undo so much which went wrong in more than a decade whilst wrestling with a massive economic crisis.
There's really no point trying to educate or even respond to Arthur, he's proved himself as unable/unwilling to accept reality and post rational and coherent comment as he is to provide links. Politicians love people like Arthur because they know they'll just carry on putting their little cross in the same box no matter what.

Whilst you're half right and I agree with what you're saying, but putting the blame onto past govt seems to be a bit of a cop out, it's always the same. Arthur is also right in saying that this govt is picking on the most vulnerable and in true Tory style the rich are seemingly untouched. Also the new measures so far are ill thought out, but again it doesn't matter much as it's only those at the bottom of the pile is going to be affected the most, so you're saying just push the blame elsewhere and just so everything seems fair doesn't it.
And does it matter if Arthur start threads about subject matters that are current and is affecting a lot of people. At least it gives this forum a purpose to discuss these matters. It is much more boring and annoying to hear the same people moaning and responding about 'Arthur threads' without contributing to the actual subject. If you don't like his posts, then put him on ignore and move on.
