gah... this is so purposefully misdirectional https://twitter.com/JamesMelville/status/1189449176356179968?s=20
I despise that angle
I'd rather austerity than 70's era Labour again tbh
Austerity was necessary
Labour legit nearly bankrupted the country
And looks like we're in for some more
Because borrowing is about to skyrocket again thanks to Brexit
I dont directly blame Labour... they bailed out the banks... right or wrong they had to do something...

A countries budget
but its definitely not Tories to blame
Isn’t like a household budget
We were not going to be bankrupted
They had 10 years to look at the banks
The tories wanted even less regulation
nah it was knife edge man... it came down to the day
what did they call it... black wednesday or something
And it originated from America anyway
It just cascaded into all of Europe
Because of the interconnected financial system
yeah black wednesday https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/black-wednesday.asp
And selling of debt
errr.. no... hmm there was def a 2007 one...
Can't even use America either, RBS was on the way to collapse long before Lehman collapsed
The britisher does a good explanation
Basically the bankers had been replaced by managers. Who just wanted to sell more debt without looking at the quality of the debt
Hm, seems like deregulating them might be a bad idea.
*A key Tory policy.*
I remember being on a ferry in 2008 to france.. and changed a tenner to have a go at the little mini casino.... I gave him the tenner and he gave me back 5+change
I just looked at it for like.... a minute 😛
confused
Wacka
Don't be silly
You're a stupid brexiteer who shouldn't be allowed to vote, everything you say is wrong <:KEK:357727991205199874>
