So the world wide recession never happened?Nothing to say on the prisons issue then?
As for government spending.. Labour created the large amount of debt because they did not cut spending and even before the recession, they were still spending what we as a nation did not have. I often also hear you and others of the Labourite variety praise Labours decade in office before the recession, was that a world wide boom then?
It cannot be both ways, either the boom and bust were both world wide or they both occured here and were caused by the government. It seems very strange to me that when we mention the bust its all the fault of everybody but the government - whereas with the boom beforehand, it as all the work of Gordon and co! - it can only be one, the UK economy during the past few decades has been a settled economy meaning that both have the same links to either the home government or the world economy at large - take your pick but you cannot chop and change to what suits your stance.
Labour did not cut spending, it is their fault we have such an enormous debt.
