What’s all this nonsense about us having had a Labour government for 13 years? I’ve been listening to the BBC since May 2010 and they’ve never mentioned this fact…never mind the below from the Telegraph:
‘Ed Miliband wants voters to believe that Labour is fit to run the economy again, but does his shadow cabinet really believe it?
Mandrake asks only because Hilary Benn, the shadow communities secretary, has appointed as his special adviser one of the harshest critics of the Labour government’s inability to regulate the banks properly and who said:
“Labour’s failure to intervene during its 13 years in power was unforgiveable and a prime reason for their 2010 general election defeat,” wrote Imran Ahmed in an article for the comrades’ weekly Tribune. “Under Labour, the Financial Services Authority was simply not fit for purpose.”
Unforgiveable? As far as the BBC are concerned it’s unmentionable.
it’s not just that they don’t mention it: what is almost as bad is that every day they have at least one member of the New Labour government on to discuss what the Coalition are doing. Every day the discussion discusses the problems and even sometimes mentions how long those problems have existed; but never, NEVER are those Labour bods asked about how or why or what they did.
The election of the coalition was year zero as far as the bbc are concerned
Stuff the pathetic bBC!, they can think what they like, but in the few months leading up to the next general election those almost bankrupting (again!) 13 long years under traitorous as hell Liebour will VERY RIGHTLY be getting highlighted like never before.
Mass social engineering Brown, Balls & Co should all now be in prison! In my nearly 50 years, i’d never experienced such a truly horrendously irresponsible government.
Much as EU-adoring Liebour, the leftie stuffed bBC and its ever laughably unbalanced QuestionableTime studio audiences might like, those catastrophic and utterly irresponsible spending 13 long Liebour years will absolutely NOT be getting forgotten!! NO chance.
1. Hilary Benn. Now there’s a name to inspire confidence.
Example: “The government of Sudan has should be under no doubt whatsoever – we (the international community) are serious about our commitment to support the International Criminal Court”
Another great statement. But what happened? Don’t hold your breath.

These guys are all so full of B***S***.
2 Who is Imran Ahmed? Standard lefty with race cred: “…it’s time to get the media operation cranked up. The media narrative has been lost; even the turncoats at The Guardian haven’t fully jumped on Ed’s bandwagon. It is agonising to most to acknowledge that the media are important, but let’s face it – they’re the primary intermediator of the political narrative for the majority of people (those that even bother keeping up with these things). ”

Love the idea of turncoats at the Guardian.
3. A final depressing thought: Benn (minor) is going to be the leader of Labour soon. Hold on to your hats.
I think that 90% of the bank bashing which the beeb reporters so enjoy is intended to divert attention from the culpability of the last (and I hope it is!) labour government for bankrupting the country, just as they did in their previous term.
It was gordon brown’s misconceived finance regulation system which allowed the banks to go mad.
SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK (except in the tiny minds of beeboids).
“Labour’s failure to intervene during its 13 years in power was unforgiveable and a prime reason for their 2010 general election defeat,”
Re-writing of history in its purest Labour form. They did intervene, and to some fine tune. Brown abolished the B of E’s supervisory role (the one where they pored over each and every bank’s summary financial position every month) and put in place a ‘triumvirate’ of regulators who didn’t have an effing clue, including the FSA who awarded themselves huge bonuses after the crash. He then encouraged a reckless binge of private borrowing to fuel the mirage of his economic ‘boom’.
And the rest, they say, is history….
Whenever I hear the Beatles song ‘Dear Prudence’ now I get a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.
That bastard Brown cost us very dear.
To Beeboids the only thing wrong with those thirteen years (with the possible exception of Iraq) was they might have liked it to go “further faster”. I am not sure how they swallowed PFI and Tuition Fees, but they were rewarded with giant increases in NHS funding (promptly swallowed up by GP salaries and burgeoning health tourism) and 105% of all children going to University, (to be taught to vote Labour but not to understand statistics) and open door immigration so they could call everyone racists for ever.
