That wasn't my point. The Conservatives didn't need to be singled out except to someone of Mr K's ilk (in forum context). The circumstances of the debt figure is more relevant.

Furthermore, there is an insidious tilt at the fact that the Conservatives are in power now, whereas the circumstances (CV) are more relevant.
