Nicola Horlick could do with a good kicking too.
Vote independent.
It's true though. This government did inherit the most appaulling legacy. Same as Obama did in USA.
Don't let the facts get in the way spider.
To be fair OP, they did inherit a deficit.
As did Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, John Major, Margaret Thatcher, Jim Callghan, Harold Wilson, Ted Heath, Harold Wilson, Alex Douglas Home, Harold MacMillian, Anthony Eden, Clement Atley, Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain... etc
The country hasn't been in credit for at least a century.

Had it been this bad in the past, even J.M. Keynes would have concentrated on some other branch of mathematics. I'm not disputing what you are saying Carnellian but it's devoid of historical context. Just saying. Night all.

He did say that, and he was true to his word. Long live pragmatism!
