Indeed - the scale of the damage Brown/Tony caused to this country is only second to previous Govts who decided to feck up birthplace of industrial revolition in favour of City bulltulipers.

I've prospered under Labour so I buy into his vision. It's only your own fault if you haven't grown rich over the last 10-15 years.
