Yep Labour did not have a clue but the Conservatives are just as hopeless IMO as we see in this current mess.

Well the Conservatives seem to adopted that same policy of late unless you have convenient memory loss.

Not really but you do have to accept the scale of the financial mess that was inherited from Labour in 2010 which was unprecedented in our lifetimes. No matter what mistakes the Tories have made the country was in a far more perilous position in 2010 than it was when Blair and Labour took the helm in 1997. That's a fact and many of the decisions made by Brown and Blair are going to haunt this country for decades no matter who's in power.
FWIW I think the UK specifically and the world in general is in the most difficult position since WWII and it's about time our politicians recognised that and started working on achieving a concensus of opinion on how we steer ourselves out of the mire. It won't happen of course because power is what they all want and they'll happily scupper the other side simply to achieve it, without really thinking too much about the consequences of chaos.
