Bonzo77 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 They had a few bad ones though as well. their biggest mistake was their first in the banking crisis I don't think they handled the banking crisis any differently to how any other government would have done.

sccsux Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I don't think they handled the banking crisis any differently to how any other government would have done. Or could have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I don't think they handled the banking crisis any differently to how any other government would have done.I just have a theory that if they'd done one thing differently then it would have changed everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 if they'd done one thing differently then it would have changed everything Which is quite obvious really. Though not necessarily for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 In case you didn't know, the whole world has been in recession. How much better do you think the tories would have done? The whole world HAS NOT been in recession, not even all of the EU nations went into recession while countries like Australia maintained good growth. Maybe if didn’t have a Labour government we would not have been one of the first to enter recession and the last to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hi Bennyboy. The borrowing was done by the citizens of our country, not by the Government. They probably spent it all on illegal off-road bikes. Personal debt has nothing to do with national borrowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Quite simply Alistair Darling was doing a very good job in taking us out of the worst recession in living memory. Now the election is over it's only the leaders of the Libs-Cons and compliant media that are carping on about how Labour destroyed the economy. It's the politics of the playground, politics of the worst sort. Name calling and blaming. Making accusations without substance. Using lies to make what they WANT to do look like it is exactly what is needed. Glib pontification about cuts that will destroy services and damage the futures of millions. Clegg and Cameron are both guilty of it and it shows how weak they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The problem with the Tories is that they don't have ANY good ideas! Scraping the quangos is the best idea they've had. Good to see another one gone: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/10314055.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Far from it being the beginning of the end of the coalition, we are possibly at the end of the beginning of the coalition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
