I appreciate the compliment about cogent arguments.
I'm a bit tired or my post would have been more polished, but it was meant as more matter of fact than dig. Many people jump to conclusions that debt is tied to one party (whereas it's more linked to economic cycles) so I thought it interesting to see who was in power in 1963. We can all be guilty of jumping to conclusions about politics - if someone had told me the first council housing in Europe was introduced by a Conservative Council in Liverpool I would have been initially sceptical
but it's true.
