So Brown was to blame for Lehman Brothers etc? And the financial crisis in the UK was completely isolated and unconnected from the global financial crisis?

As predicted.


You deny official stats, don't know that yield rate is the cost of borrowing, refuse to accept that stimulus pulled the US out of the mire, think that the entire Western banking crisis was Brown's fault, deny the reductions in public sector staffing, don't accept that supply versus demand affects price, cover your lack of insight with irrelevant questions but ignore questions asked of you ... etc etc ... and, when proved utterly wrong, you respond with "Absolute tosh".


It's over, give it up.

Since all governments run deficits, they were just following the likes of Maggie. Thus you should approve.

Not the Labour government from 1998 to 2001.

They did indeed.
To about the same level that the Major government left them with.

That's also true.
TBF the Conservative government also briefly ran a surplus 1988-89.

But, generally speaking, Mintball was correct.
