I am replying to Ian Cummings’s letter ‘The last government has left us in this mess’ on August 6.

Isn’t it time he and his party stopped blaming Labour for the state of the economic crisis. It is three years since the election. I suppose if his party brainwashes the country for long enough, they hope it will work. Roll on 2015, so we can get rid of this inept lot.
