The City


.. who, BTW, both candidates are failing to focus on in their sales pitch to the faithful.
The City was not exactly whiter than white, but we are talking gover ment performance here. The Labour Party, in both periods of office, spent all the money so it was unable to deal with the financial crisis.

The way Gordon was carrying on with his spending spree we would have ended up bankrupt one way or another even without the crash. It might have taken a couple or three years longer, but the end result would have been the same.
