Have a look at the stats from the ONS - the deficit has been reduced every year by this government. If this year does end up being an increase (based on incomplete figures it doesn't look like it will) then it's an outlier and still well below previous deficits. Are you sure you're not talking about borrowing increasing by 10%? If so, that was all capital expenditure and doesn't count towards the deficit at it's a one-off expense - a little trick devised by your lot so that they could employ a load of hole diggers and fillers to bump their election hopes.Utter crap and factually wrong. The deficit has been added to in the last year by 10 per cent.
Second point is also wrong,the debt came about because we had to bail out the banks to the point of 1.4 trillion. Same happened in the States,do you also think that Bush is a 'trot' as well ?
And it's more than a little disingenuous to blame the financial crisis for the national debt. Your lot inherited a solid economy on the upslope of a boom cycle, yet by 2001 they were outspending a booming economy - well before any financial crisis.
Just think about that for a second. We had one of the best boom economies in history and they managed to outspend it.
