I dare say he doesn't even acknowledge that SameOldLabour did anything wrong. Is he related to Arthur by any chance? The fact that these people still can't see the scale of the mess we're in truly baffles me.
Yet those who guilty dont seem to being punished for this fiasco of out of control banking practises. The ones punished by this coalition those who innocent.

Crazy drugged up policies like bedroom tax rather just get councils build 2/3 bedroom properties or partnership building programme where private/councils share profits.

Always hurt the end user than solving the solution. With short term kneejerk policies that dont solve anything.

96% apparantly cant move due to so few nationally 1 bedrooms places. Whats left usually high rise flats that government looking to knockdown in the towns as there ending there lifespan. Some towns already have. Why build 1 bedroom properties anyway if they got green light. They give little scope for a person to move on in life get married have a family. Realistically we should just build 2+ bedroom properties. If we cap rental to X amount minimum wage we then have years and years sustainable rental properties.

Hopefully drag the private rental down to sustainable level.

On the economy Like always said labour there was mistakes one worst was deregulation off banks. They did not bankrupt nation. Bankers real blame with there insashable greed. We should never bailed them out I feel took the hit. then labour been accused not protecting the investors/savers.

How many times does people need to post that debt shot up AFTER 2008. Rightly or wrongly they tried to protect UK from very bad impact from usa useless sub prime fiasco that collapsed the banking system. Yet those parasite never got jailed. Coalition still protecting banking system today with policies which not good long term like the one trying keep housing bubble going. Creating even more corporate welfare too which adds to debt.

What happened in USA caused world panic deep recession which brown and darling shielded us from. UK suffered less than others. Historically this nations debt been much higher even under thatcher government. What is biggest and by far issue is PRIVATE DEBT. Our private debt thats mortages, student loans, credit cards, corporate Debt, corporate loans, leveraged buyouts. This biggest issue yet we still making policies under coalition to INCREASE private debt which MADNESS. We need to bring Banks under Strict regulations and stop loaning to those high risks but nope coalition brought in idea help support risky mortages.

Its remarkable we not worse mess with the way coalition handling things currently. Most there policies not touching the debt but ideolgy driven mantra.
