Biggest lie in British politics

[lexin]

I am not a doctrinaire defender of the last Labour government. I think Tony Blair should be in prison, and Gordon Brown will be damned by history for his role in deregulating the banks – the real cause of this crisis. But to claim that this crisis was caused by Labour “racking up debt” is simply false.

A blog entry that's well worth reading by Johann Hari.

Sorry but any article that manages to make a fundamental confusion between the national debt (which, in historical context, is indeed at present fairly low as a proportion of GDP, and largely irrelevant) and the budget deficit (which is neither and which is what the argument is actually about) is hardly well worth reading in my book.

Oh, gods, is there any realistic way we can get these damnable people out of our government and KEEP them out?
