He deliberately allowed the bankers to carry on regardless because it made Labour look good and he spent the money the government took in from the bubble economy created by unlimited cheap borrowing.
Labour caused the problem and now say they have the cure. It took them 11 years to ruin the country. Why anyone should trust them again I do not know. Needless to say, the SNP are equally to blame and their head-in-the-sands government may fool many, but not me.
The public sector must become an asset, not a financial drain. We need enterprise, not sound bites and empty promises from those who cannot deliver
