Labour inherited a country whose infrastructure was wrecked.
The family silver sold off.
The National debt at an all time high.
And for 10 years, they REDUCED the debt as a proportion of GDP, from 41% to 38%.
They gave us stability, in the form of low interest rates, low inflation, steady solid growth.
While REPAIRING the 'roof' that the Tories had so shamefully neglected. Schools. Hospitals. Police. Roads....
It amazes me that any Tory can look back on their 18 years of misrule, sleaze and disaster without curling up in utter shame.
It amazes me that you tell such bare faced lies? Here is a reminder
"A short history of the of the widespread strike movement that occurred during the winter of 1978-1979 in Britain. The 'Winter of Discontent' marked the largest stoppage of labour since the 1926 General Strike.
The factors that provoked the widespread stoppage of work by thousands of British workers in the winter of 1978-79 began with the Labour government of James Callaghan's attempt to enforce limits on pay rises to curb inflation. Inflation had reached a height of nearly 26.9% in August 1975. In the same year Harold Wilson's Labour government, wanting to avoid increasingly large levels of unemployment agreed a voluntary incomes policy with the TUC that would cap pay increases for workers at limits set by the government."
Rubbish piled up in streets,hospitals picketed so only a&e patients allowed in,grave diggers on strike,ports and airports closed,mines closed,the losses to the economy were crippling. The country was a joke.
And with inflation out of control and the inept labour government borrowing from the IMF like some 3rd world banana republic change was needed.
11 years later britain was once more a global power and financial centre and all thanks to margaret thatcher unravelling the dreadful mess that callaghans labour government had caused.
Much as cameron now has to contend with the mess left by brown.
Every time labour leave office the country is in serious trouble and the conservatives have to sort labours mess again and again.
So stop telling lies you lying cunt!
