1. That note was a joke, and followed a global banking crisis, which I’m sure you well know. How many of those bankers went to prison?

2. Gordon Brown was acknowledged to have handled that crisis very well, unless you have evidence to the contrary?

3. The Tory government has imposed ideological cuts on the most vulnerable people in society. Many of those people have suffered early death as a result. Indeed, life expectancy for the poorest in this country is going down for the first time in a generation. How did you suffer from austerity?

4. As Alexei Sayle said, austerity is the idea that the financial crash was caused by there being too many libraries in Wolverhampton.

Oh, and was Brown the guy who said "I'm going to sell gold" triggering a price drop as investors saw a bargain on the horizon. Very clever - not. Ideological idiots who'd milk a cow to death instead of growing a herd.
