The current problems go far deeper than the government. The pension problem has been going on for years, it is very easy to blame this government but really it has nothing to do with them. If you like to have a scapegoat then yer blame them, they are easy targets.

Truth be told this has been going on for 30 years, both labour and tories are both to blame.

One minute you say it isnt the governments fault then you bring in Labour and it is? They are both the government so yes it is the governments fault. Just like our lack of energy storage, polution, high inflation, poor growth etc..

They are the government not some think tank. If they dont want to be responable for these things then they have no place in government or opposition.

People here are blaming the current Tories, in reality we should blame the civil service decision makers and all the previous governments.

The current Tories have been in power for the last 12 years. This is all their fault now. 12 YEARS!

This goes back 30 years and each government has kicked the can. I also blame certain parts of the population.

We should get rid of the London Barrier if that's how you feel clearly a waste of money.

It is absolutely hilarious the mental gymnastics and reality-bending being employed by the conservative sheep to try and explain the absolute **** state of the country after 12 years of this absolute shower.

It's a shame all the USA-centric bile they consume has tainted the word 'liberal' for them, as they may find the Liberal Democrats actually align with their libertarian-leaning centrist viewpoint, without the bat**** insane extremist stuff that's taken over the Tories.

To an extent yeah, but not for the the stupid decisions made recently.

So to the last Tory government?

Even if it is 30 years in your whataboutery they've STILL been in power for nearly 60% of it so they're STILL the main problem.
