SIR – The credit crunch would have happened whichever party was in power.
Unfortunately it happened when Labour were in power and all the blame was put on Gordon Brown.
If the Tories had their way they would be blaming Gordon Brown for the banking mess in Cyprus.
It’s about time they grew up and accepted it was a worldwide banking crisis. I find it very annoying at Question Time in the House of Commons when the Tories are given a loaded question which allows them to blame Labour for the economic mess.
The Tories have had three years to put things right and have only made things worse.
I get fed up when I hear the Tories say we’ve given pensioners the biggest rise ever. I was given £5.35 in one hand and £5 taken back with the other.
