    That was one of my few reasoned comments!

    Most of the things I hate about Labour were started by the tories - abolish ACT, fuel escalator - and bought in by that idiot Major. I might add it was Major who took us into the ERM against Maggie's wishes - why she did not sack him I don't know. Only think she did wrong.

    We need a return to simplified tax system and balancing the budget.

    We also need a true thatcher successor or a non mad maggie. Mind you even while senile I bet she would do better than Brown.

      It was Major's condition for taking the job of Chancellor of the Exchequer that Sterling join the ERM.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          Major was not much better than atw would have been. He assumed that Europe would play fair - instead he found that East of Dover civilization ends.

          Why did Lucky Lawson give up anyway? That was a shame.....

            East of Dover - It's a bit dodgy south of the Thames!

            Lawson - he gave it up to take a staring role in Xena: Warrior Princess.
