MADAM - Your report on Michael Meacher’s recent speech to a conference in Stroud highlighted an interesting case of selective amnesia that he and his fellow travellers appear to be suffering from.
Apparently he refuted the charge that it was Labour government that created the financial crisis and blamed it all on everyone’s favourite whipping boy, the financial services industry.
This from the party that declared an end to boom and bust and then presided over the biggest bust since the Great Depression.
This from the party which, on departing, left a note in the Treasury saying “there is no money”.
This from the party that failed to fix the roof when the sun was shining and left someone else to clear up the mess when it rained.
How can we trust anyone with such a severe case of amnesia with our money again?
