If you read the Daily Mail, Telegraph etc it's easy to believe that the banking crisis of 2008 was caused by Labour. However, a little research on the internet tells a very different story.
9 years of austerity have been the result. Do you remember Cameron saying 'were all in this together'. Well, I'm sorry but you dont see many posh lads sleeping on the streets or going to food banks.
Most sensible people accept the crisis of 2007/8 was not down to Labour, but of course in a debate it makes good ammunition.
Question: do you think the Tories implemented austerity just because they wanted to? Just because they could? Because they're the 'nasty party'? As a right larf?
Austerity was always going to be a hugely damaging policy which would lose them votes and create an enormous amount of ill-feeling and political ammunition. So why would any party choose this path? Interesting to note that 2 general elections later they're still in government (note I didn't say 'in power').
So, why do you think they did it?
