Holding ERM up as somehow relevant to today (even in the sense of trying to diss John Major) is pointless. Unlike, say, holding up the financial crash, the regulatory errors and governmental unpreparedness that exacerbated it. The loons responsible for that are very much still in the game, and are asking us to put them back in charge in a couple of weeks time.

Odd how people who'd argue that figures from the past are more relevant to the problems we face today than the people currently running Labour.
