Enlighten us however as to what parts are not historically correct, history itself deals with facts, credit has to be given and criticism has to be given to most PMs and govts; that have been in power post war.
That is what I did.

Setting a different balance however from facts, rather than your opinion that always condemns one party is with respect,in my view, a far better way to proceed.

So with even fuller respect,laugh all you like in your pettiness,at least it is better to give someone a laugh anyday.

That's a bit harsh

You have covered so much history in a quick summary that its really to much to go in to detail with. I will however cover the key points of the last labour government that were extremely damaging to the country.

1. Pensions. Gordon Brown robbed the pension funds bringing the whole pension funding crisis to a head.

2. Mobile phone networks. Gordon Brown put the bandwidth up for auction forcing our top companies such as Vodafone to cripple themselves bidding far too much and making them less able to compete globally.

3. Gordon Brown sold off the gold reserves at the point where there were worth the least .. very smart move - not.

4. Gordon Brown sold off as much state property as he could

All the money generated from the above was squandered before the the global crisis hit. He basically removed all the buffers that we had making any economic downturn much more difficult to deal with.

Just a few examples.....

The labour party didn't do a good job during their years in office. Blaming the economic downturn for all the country's ills is not reflecting the true state of affairs.
