It is, no one apart from die hard Tories think of the financial crisis that started in 2008
I experienced this at first hand on Tuesday. I went for a few drinks with some people who I know through a shared interest in travel. There was a guy there who I hadn't met before, but others had, I think. A group conversation started around the election and this 'new' guy said several times that, if labour got in, they would 'raid' pensions, 'just like Brown did'. This was reiterated 3 or 4 times later.
Later, Truss came up in the conversation and he said that her plans weren't too radical, but that they'd been blocked by the Bank of England! I had to go to the bar just then, so I bought him a pint and sat down with another group further away! We moved on to another bar after that and the b****rd didn't offer me a drink in return!
