I see, Tory lies eh? American bankers were running BOS and RBS were they? They were also regulating the City of London via the BoE and FSA and Gordon Brown wasn't the Chancellor at the time and for the decade preceding. It was all nothing to do with Labour in spite of Brown incessantly telling us how prudent he'd been since 1997 when in fact he'd been ignoring all the warning signs...
Yeah you're quite right it was all the Tories' fault when they'd been out of office for a decade.

Fix the roof while the sun shines? Labour's attitude is if it ain't raining, don't fix it.
And this is where that gets us.

Yep, too busy spending money and buying votes to want to admit what was going seriously wrong. Brown was warned about the perilous banking situation and did nothing because of the political importance of the 2 major Scottish banks which were at the centre of the problems in the UK.

And after decades of obfuscation and denial about the crimes of the IRA, Corbyn suddenly manages to condemn the IRA bombing campaign.

Very sincere I must say and nothing to do with being made to look like a total hypocrite by Andrew Neil.
