Having said this, it doesn't excuse the political mess that the Tories find themselves in
I don't know how to respond to you as when I have disagreed with you previously you have said "you have really got it in for you", which I certainly haven't BTW.

But, just a quick question though given your comment about what Labour faced, do you believe the 2008 world financial crisis when there was a run on Northern Rock Bank and our behemoth banks like RBS nearly collapsed until Labour bailed them out was a minor hiccup in your world view and wasn't a drain on the public purse?

And yes I know Brown sold the gold cheap blah, blah, blah.
