thing is, if the crash didnt happen, then they might not have put in the tighter lending restrictions they have today

definitely wouldn't

but its all coulda woulda shoulda sooo

@PureEvilPie actually the government continually bailed out failing banks in America that what lead to the finicial crisis banks got used to being bailed out and continued to take risks they knew they shouldn't because Uncle Sam had their backs

There remains no penalty for failure with banks

Precedent has been set

The financial crash shit you can't even pin on Brown for a success, Alistair Darling did the heavy lifting

Brown and Blair squandered the economic legacy of Thatcher and Major

We should have been in a far better position when when crisis hit

More, specifically to do with mortgage policy both in America and to lesser extent Britain, Banks were encouraged to lend to as many people as possible for home purchase and the Government promised they would take the risk prior to this bank would at ratio of 1:4.

So for every 4 "safe" borrowers they leant they would lend to 1 "unsafe" borrower after government made certain guarentees the ratio went to 32:1

Brown and Blair saved the economy.

No they didn't

One the reason to do with what I just posted

Brown and Blair along with Bush created false economies

Wrong, they saved it.

Yeah, no

What they did was essentially like giving a dying animal drugs - it pumps them up for a while, but ultimately going to harm them

Brown and Blair are also guilty of completely fucking over the housing market, as well as introducing the diversity/mass immigration problems
