I can see you don't, in your view essentially all the MPs are in charge even when they are not all in charge. They all have responsibility even when they are not holding official responsibility. The prime minister and the cabinet are not effectively the prime minister and the cabinet, they are...

That's a cop out to dismiss what the Tories may or may not have done. They were the opposition and they have a duty to hold the government to account. If they see problems then they should be advocating a change of course. The system fell down because the banks took the piss because there was...

HH Whether the Tories did or not is irrelevant. It's like you are saying Hyppia's management was bad but at that time Chris Hughton would have made the same decisions? Hyppia was in charge, he is to blame. Brown's macro economic decisions were catastrophic, and we should not be in any doubt...

O I disagree, your point would have much more relevance if it was about, say, the IRAQ war, where most politicians supported it.......ergo they all have some degree of responsibility for the UK's actions. The economic policy of Labour however is the economic policy of Labour. The Tories may...

Having just completed a Google search on "EU Directive Sportsping Stadia" the truth appears to be stranger than fiction, their are a staggering number of directives from our unelected overlords that affect different aspects of managing stadiums, see point 4 in link below as an example...

I hear regularly on here the comment about how bank "privatise profit and socialise loss". Capital gains tax is socialising profit. Plenty more people have taken a hit on capitalist ventures the state offers no compensation for this, so why should it take a slice on the upside. My investment...

Agree with the general thrust here, albeit there were plenty of other non political voices than Cable suggesting that the UK's economy was heading for the rocks. Also, whilst neoliberalism, as we refer to it today, was (and is) very much the problem (not just its narrow economic orthodoxy) it...
