Deflecting. Come on you can do it, why did borrowing increase under Osbourne? Part from the pathological hate of Labour you were getting there.

Interest payments on debts created by the last Labour government. The Labour government did not cause the global crash. Other parties pushed for and voted on new labour policies with Tories saying deregulation didn't go far enough.

You are stating the obvious. But it is your assertion that the Tories are to blame for the debt which is yet another lie. You also criticise them for trying to manage the debt. That is dumb.

I'm criticising them because they haven't managed the debt. How much has it increased since 2010? They've been in power for 7 years. Of course I'm going to blame them. Mervyn King former Governor of the bank of England... Asked how culpable Labour was, he replied: “I am not going to talk about individual parties’ culpability because I think the real problem was a shared intellectual view right across the entire political spectrum and shared across the financial markets that things were going pretty well. “There were imbalances – we knew things were unsustainable – but it was not entirely obvious where it would come unstuck – and I think that is something everyone shared, and the right thing is to make it better for the future.” He added: “I don’t think it is easy to go back and say any one country on its own around the world could have found their way through it. We did talk in the Bank of England about whether we should have had much higher interest rates before the crisis. “If we had done that we undoubtedly would have had a downturn, probably a recession even, unemployment and inflation well below the target. But we as one country could not have stopped the financial crisis occurring so I think we should have been shooting ourselves in the foot; even if you could argue that if every country had done that it may be we would not have been in such a difficult position.” He said he did not think the cause of the crisis lay in the regulation itself but “a complete change in psychology and fear in the financial markets about the credit-worthiness of banks”. “Looking back the leverage of banks was absurdly high and should have been lower. I don’t think there is any point blaming them for it. It came as an enormous surprise to everyone that banks were not creditworthy.” Forgive me if I take his word over yours.

Clutching at straws. A ten percent decrease in the gap between labour and Tory. In a week. 6 weeks to go. Teachers/heads/parents are out highlighting Tory education mismanagement. Law states that leaders get equal coverage on TV and in the media. That means Corbyn's ideas will be heard and not misreported.

It's got me reconsidering although my vote in a Tory safe seat doesn't matter with 57% Tory and about 17% UKIP. But if it's got me reconsidering then lots of others will too, including those mothers that can be crucial in elections. That's if the printed press can't still demolish a labour leader like they did Kinnock in the last days of campaigning in '92.
