And the relevance to 30 years ago is.....next wèek nazi Germany when adolf seized power and that ended well.Look at the budget surplus deficit figures from 1975 to the crash.....Tories in power most of the time and ran deficits every year barring two when they managed small surpluses of 3.9 and 4.2 billion in the boom periods 88/89.........Labour took over in 1997 and immediately ran surpluses of 0.7 billion, 12 billion. 16 billion and 8 billion.....Even when they went back into deficit, at no point were there deficits as large as the tories in the 90s until the 2008 crash which Greedy has helped us establish nobody saw coming......The figures are quite clear, Labour (who i detest btw) were massively more succesful at managing the economy than the tories......Dont forget this was also a time when they brought in a minimum wage which the tories claimed would bankrupt the country, winter fuel payments which the tories would claim we could not afford etc etc.
