I do! It led to Osborne's austerity policy. A breathtaking decision to deliberately plunge ordinary people into poverty. How can a decent society allow a Chancellor to get away with this? Isn't it as immoral as Blair invading Iraq? I'm still incandescent about the complacency of the comfortably off, who all supported austerity, and saw themselves as the real victims of the banking crisis. Because common people don't matter. They're just oiks and chavs. If they have disposable income they waste it on booze and fags and excessive cars.
I still believe that Osborne should have borrowed and invested, which is what Obama did. Or did I get this wrong? I have no grasp of economics.

Yeah but that's 2010 on and the "current" spell of Tory governance. I think people mainly just remember austerity and things being cut and the start of things becoming sick.
Rightly or wrongly not everyone ties it to the crash.

It's what we did in Oz, and we pretty much completely dodged the '09 recession.

It is, no one apart from die hard Tories think of the financial crisis that started in 2008
