Malc - it is a light hearted joke, but it has to be said that the Labour Party inherited a strong economy when they came into power from the Tories. It is also true to say that the Tories inherited disaster from the Labour party in 1979. During the "boom" years why was no money saved and set aside for todays mess? Why did Mr Brown spend all our gold reserves? Really when you look at things it's not so light hearted any more! This is not a political speach in any way but everyone else who read the thread and commented saw the humour in it - even though this "humour" is at OUR cost. And for the record who knows if there is a better alternative out there to get us through this situation, but there can't me anyone much worse!

I am just glad Gordon Brown in now in power and reaping the benifits of his own fiscal policies

lets see if he can get us out of the s**t his spend tax spend policies from when he was chancellor
