| Luke, you write of the Conservatives "That's not all they did -The worst two recessions since the war." but conveniently fail to take into account any of the global macro economic indicators at the time. if you had done, you would find that it wasn't the Conservatives who created a recession, it was a global downturn that affected ALL of the major economies. More relevantly, the recession affected the UK less severely and for a shorter time than the other economies - indeed Japan is STILL in recession. If a mark of failure is minimising the impact of something that cannot be avoided I'm not sure quite what you'd see as success. |
