Where can I find out more about this financial crisis? I've been
hearing nothing but doom and gloom from the UK for the last 20 years,
it seems, and I'd begun to hope that perhaps having a Labour
government might have at least retarded the decline. It doesn't,
from this, appear so.

I'd be unhappy to have my general skepticism about education policies
from social-democratic governments and parties further confirmed, but
this certainly sounds like more evidence that there's nobody speaking
for us anywhere on the political spectrum.
