Really? Don't remember who spent too much and caused the nation to be broke?
People should work harder and not expect handouts. Another product of communism.
Oh dear, the government at the time did not cause the financial crisis that affected the global economy, but other governments spent their way out of the ensuing crisis, we just gave more money to the banks but cut public services and froze public service workers wages and told us all to work harder. Besides, the " Nation " wasn't broke then but it certainly is broken now
We are all working harder and there are few " handouts" these days but not many of us are better off than we were ten years ago. Roads are potholes held together by patches, weeds grow in the streets, rubbish collections are shortly to go fortnightly here, there is increasing homelessness and in work poverty and schools are cutting back on staff and have to crowdfund or contact Children In Need to fund essential support staff and basic school equipment. If you think that this was caused by a Labour government over ten years ago in the 5 th biggest economy in the world, you are a prize chump.
