They are for cutting tax Credits, at the wealthier end, where it isnt needed, isnt that the best place to cut it?
Although Brown didnt create the recession, you cant lay it at Thatchers door either. It is global, that means its worldwide and while our bankers and economists contributed to it they certainly didnt cause it, try American banks and over extension of credit etc.
What you can lay at Brown and Blair's door because they were in power during the lead up to it is the fact they failed to take strict enough economic measures to ensure the recession didnt bite too hard or for too long. Thats why other countries have come out of it quickly and we still wallow in it.
You earned for yourself, 9/10 for emotion on your anti-tory rant but 2/10 for fact and substance.

Yeh tongue in cheek at the end there, but twas you that said Gordon created it ahem... and tis Maggie who advocated a complete lack of regulation in this country in the first place, dont get all high and mighty with me. And as for the tax credits theyre thinking of cutting them for middle income families (with children) like me who do depend on them to be able to work. Thatcher was anti Europe FACT
