Government was already running a budget deficit more than a 2 years before recession / GFC, starting around 2006

Debt to GDP (switch to max). After New Labourbperiod of stability, and sticking to Ken Clarke’s spending plans in 97-2003, the acceleration in debt start in 2004-05, some 3-4 years before the GFC. You can also see the debt stabilised by Cameron/Osborne around 2014-16 period. Until other Tories took charge and blasted debt out of the water and resumed upward path.

So you can “call out” what you want Eric. Or think so. But you have called out nothing - except your own stupidity. You are clearly that out of your depth that you have tried to argue that black is white, with no basic reference to data sources at all: just biased hot air. Let’s not get into CV-comparing around this subject or it could get very embarrassing very quickly for you. This is a new low for you as a messageboard Wind Up Merchant. Clearly you are way out of your depth on this one.

Sorry to be blunt, but you deserve it - you haven’t even got the most basic of secondary school skills to even reference or find the secondary source of info. Find another subject son, but you will not be duelling me for long on this subject. You’re like a ten year old boy trying to advise John Holmes on how to grow a decent cock.

Stick to abuse. You have an O Level in that I am sure. Or making a cup of tea. Be a good boy, now.
I’ve always thought that in its most basic terms, politics is an argument between people whose primary instinct is to think of people and those who first think of money or business - you consistently come at things from the latter perspective.

I get that you usually need money to implement the changes that those whose priority is people want to make, but it seems to me that we’ve had fourteen years of rule by a party who have not been able, or maybe been willing, to implement positive changes for the people, apart from the very richest amongst them.
