Labour stayed in power at the expense of the UK population

Listening to Alistair Darling one would not realise that he had been the Chancellor of the Exchequer for a Labour government that brought the UK economy to its knees, leaving us all with massive debts for a generation!
Instead he talks as though knows what the current government should be doing!
I know what his record as Chancellor was. Spending money that the UK did not have! Borrowing more and more money to keep going!
They blamed the ‘global’ recession and ignored the fact that the UK suffered badly from the recession because Labour changed the way that the financial industry was regulated. The controls that would have prevented so much damage to the UK economy were no longer in place!
But my main criticism of the Brown/Darling Labour government is that they just kept borrowing money to keep the economy going.
It was clearly more important to them that they stayed in power even if it meant that the people of the UK were saddled with debts for the next twenty years!
They kept themselves in power at the expense of us all.
Subsequently I am not interested in the opinions of Darling, Brown or any of the Labour ministers on what the Conservatives and Lib Dems are doing!
In fact it would concern me if Brown or Darling agreed with the way the ConLib coalition were working to fix the UK economy from the consequences of 13 years of New Labour government!
