County councillor Susanna Pressel (Oxford Mail letters, December 10) seems to have forgotten the banks went into meltdown under a Labour government and the Labour government bailed out the banks to the tune of millions.

Did the Labour government think about the repayment or what they could do with sorting the banks out?

This country has a defecit which is the direct result of 13 years of mis-management under the Labour regime.

Some people now hope to use all this country’s problems and try to blame the coalition. But Labour has caused this nightmare – and it’s going to be a long and sometimes unpleasant road to recovery.
