Why are we blaming Labour? Well quite simple really.

1. Labour allowed all and bloody sundry to claim benefits with no incentive to get OFF the dole into work. Hence why Cameron is seen to be hitting the poor is because he is trying to get those who are happy to sit on their backsides into work.

2. Tories never went into a borrow and spend cycle like Brown and Darling did. Which is why Labour INHERITED a good economy. Coalition inherit a crap economy.

There are loads more reasons, but to be quite honest I am heartily sick and tired of the Coalition being bashed for the way they are trying to get us out of the mire we were in, done by a LABOUR government. Whose Chancellor was it that sold our gold reserves? Thatcher, Major? No, it was Blair's Chancellor who sold them all off. Had he waited another 10 years, we would have had an asset to sell to cut down our deficit.

Until you accept that the Coalition are trying to rescue us from bankruptcy and having to go cap in hand to Germany, then the more you are going to be riducled.
