Sure, we can all have opinions on what may or may not have caused it but just because his overarching opinion based on actual hands on experience doesn't fit with your theory or narrative does not make him a maker of strawman arguments nor does it lessen the veracity of his opinion.
The fact remains we are no better off today. Indeed we are worse off in many regards despite "promises" and "facts" from the coalition Government and their collective, continuing failure on many fronts.
"Nobody" clearly does not include Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister who in January of this year said "I almost admire the chutzpah of these people who created this mess going around to tell people how to clear it up. It was verging on the bizarre that the Labour Party thought they had anything to teach anyone about the banks because they are single handedly responsible for the biggest collapse in our banking system in the postwar period."
Lies, financial ineptitude and abject failure are not unique to a labour Government.

Says absolutely nothing to the points Chris or I, made.
The continual posts pushing your agenda are really quite boring.
But as you, fail to respond to anything from me nowadays, I can only assume I'm on your ignore list...which is convenient.
