Bloody hell - if Major's Tories left the economy in a mess how many times worse was what Brown left behind after all that 'prudence' and 'oversight' he rammed down our throats at every opportunity? I'm afraid anyone who equates the two scenarios is living in cloud cuckoo land.
Some folks do like to try to rewrite history but fortunately there are some here who aren't going to let that happen...

And again, when the current Government took over from Brown, we all know there was no money left.
The reality is that to have a successful Government delivering socialist policies, you need a good economy, which means not driving away the rich. Labour and the Scottish Nationalists will never learn!
