  Tom - you push the imagination a bit to say the least, Brown made his regulatory changes in 1997 before Osborne and Cameron were even MPs... I am always amused at how some of you desperately try to deflect blame.
  
  GaryC - first of all the present government is still grappling with the results of Brown's economic mismanagement so how we got where we are is very relevant. What is a joke is how so many on the left love to try to pin the blame on a certain woman who left office 21 years ago - now that is a joke. This thread is topical because of the FSA evidence that has just been provided. I have never yet seen you agree Brown's guilt Gary - all I seen you do is try to whitewash that and place all the blame on the bankers. Some bankers certainly are guilty of poor management as I have always agreed but that was enabled and actively encouraged by Brown.
  
  GaryC - you ask when the cuts are going to work. That is actually a good question because I have been critical of Osborne all along for not cutting enough and, as a result these minimal so called cuts have not really bitten yet. The government is spending and borrowing more every day, far to much. The core to all our present problems lay in the high spending of Brown and other like-minded government in Europe and must be cut to a sustainable level. You cannot go on borrowing more and more forever in order to sustain day to day spending - common sense and logic alone should tell you that.
  
  As for whether this belongs on my blog - not necessarily, plenty of political discussion takes place in the main forum and I am not ready to update my blog yet.
