Do you think that is a fair comparison? Why use deceit to try to prove a point?

Yes, I do feel it's a fair comparison.

The 1997 debt actually fell until 2002, and didn't reach this level until 2009 (as a percentage of GDP).

In real terms, the debt has risen 52% since 2010. I understand that it did rise under labour, however not as fast, and certainly not as fast in relation to the economy.

Nor was the constant bragging as to the abolition of boom or bust.

PS I earn between 50 and 80K and do quite a basic, simple job.

simply get a job where you use a lot of jargon-ridden management drivel such as:

1. Going forward
2. Drill-down
3. End of play
4. Touch base
5. It's on my radar
6. No brainer
7. Best of breed
8. Low hanging fruit
9. Reach out
10. Dive deeper
11. Think outside the box
12. Positive momentum
13. On my plate
14. At the end of the day
15. Run the numbers
16. Touch points
17. Keep your eye on the ball
18. Back to the drawing board
19. Get the ball rolling
20. Bang for your buck
21. Close the deal
22. When the rubber hits the road
23. Shift paradigm
24. Move the needle
25. Game-changing
26. Move the goal post
27. Value added
28. Win-win
29. Across the piece
30. All hands on deck

I guess simple comprehension of economics is out of your grasp.

Sounds bankrupt to me. Of course since Labour haven't had the chance to p*ss endless amounts of money up the wall buying votes for the last 3 years the situation has improved somewhat.

I thought it was the banks that ran out of money ...The country never ran out of money.

If you don't remember we Nationalised lots of our banks.
Just when capitalism had worked ,socialism came to it's rescue.

It would have done without BoE money, the government didn't have enough money to pay the bills, let alone bail out banks.

The government directly and indirectly underwrites swathes of the "private sector" that provide key functionality.

£80k doesnt buy you much of a lifestyle in London.

You need a six figure pay packet to live well in this city

I think you will find "The government " has no money ..It always spends someone else's money.

So who did the BOE let use it's printing press ?
Was it Labour or Alliance ? I am not sure what point your making ?
