The Labour Party did not ruin the economy, ruined implies it’s beyond

Comment on Why I’ll Never Vote Conservative at a General Election by David.

The Labour Party did not ruin the economy, ruined implies it’s beyond recovery, which it isn’t: growth dropped a few %, not exactly the end of the British way of life, we’ll recover.

The economy was damaged by the credit crunch that was a world wide problem starting with American banks (US banks caused most of the damage) with creating toxic debts. The banks sold bad loans (mortgages people couldn’t afford), packaged groups of mortgages into investment opportunities and sold them on as safe investments to clear their books of debt. Then sold more bad loans, packaged them as safe investments….. eventually the s##t hit the fan when a lot of people started to default on the loans, they became toxic.

So to be accurate bankers damaged the economies of the world, not the current government.

The Labour Party did not throw “a hell of a party”, the Labour party invested in areas it believes are important like the NHS (almost tripled the investment).

Do I agree with everything the Labour party has done and wants to do, no way.

The Labour party has a tendency to erode our civil liberties, some of which I agree with (I’d like CTV on every street), some I don’t like the way they’ve gone way over the top responding to the threat of terrorism: is it just me or is the answer to the threat of terrorism worse than the odd terrorist act?

You can’t take a photo in London without a copper asking you what you are doing, yet Google maps has street level maps of the UK (that makes a lot of sense).

We didn’t have anything like what we have now when the IRA was blowing things up all the time. The IRA was a much bigger threat than the current terrorists that have tried to attack us. Is it just me or is the average terrorist a bit slow in the brain department, it would be so EASY to cause havoc in Britain with the simplest of terrorist acts that don’t require blowing yourself up!
