The crash may have been considerably worse DR too, had the Cons been in.
The Cons felt Labour regulated the banks too much,Howard and Cameron would have then regulated the banks far less.

You are right to say that is a lie laid on only Browns and the then govts.shoulders.

That crash was coming no matter what any govt.was doing or what Party was in power either,no one in the UK or even across the World in any way really saw it coming at all.
