The out of control spending is a lie???!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

You actually believe that do you? The credit crunch began in America eh? I've heard it all now. You really are living in total denial aren't you?

The party of mass immigration....They abandoned the borders for the love of god! Where do you think all these new arrivals have come from?
You have no reasoned argument Sir. As for being nationalistic, ignorant and narrow minded, well I served in the army for eight years and saw a great deal of the world and many different cultures, probably more than you, Mr Keyboard warrior.

The financial crisis was caused by the banking collapse. Brown was still spending far too much - and you can argue that be positioned the economy in such a way that it couldn't take the shock - but the crisis in the economy was caused by the banks.

That crisis did begin in the US - it was caused by US banks giving mortgages to people with no hope of repaying them. The likes of JPMorgan and Lehmans packaged those loans up and sold them to the market. When those defaulted the system collapsed and banks stopped lending to each other - which resulted in the first UK domino to fall because Northern Rock were criminally dependant on short term funding from the money markets.

Browns real crime was not regulating the banks though it should be noted Osborne wanted less regulation and UKIP seemingly none at all. Perhaps because Forage got rich in helping betting against Sterling when it was forced out of the ERM.

The only people with clean hands from this period were the Liberal Democrats

Brown is responsible for squandering a golden economic inheritance. If Brown had been sensible we would have been a lot better prepared for what was about to happen, instead his financial irresponsibility left this country wide open to the consequences of what was about to happen.
