How many bankers were prosecuted under the Labout government? None. And you just can't say that the Labour Treasury wasn't at least partly responsible for causing a crisis in this country. Now, just a couple of years later, the same person who was one of those rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic, now has all the answers?

I'm not saying that the Tory policies are working... I'm saying they're as bad as each other. And when I see the unctious, self-satisfied face of Ed Miliband saying "There, there, we're going to make it all better..." it makes me cringe.
