If there is a second global crash, then will that, too, be blamed in Britain on the then British Government and on its millions of employees?
If not, why not?
Until the one in 2008, the British economy was so successful, and the public sector was so essential to that success, that the Conservatives were committed to matching Labour's departmental spending plans pound for pound.
Meaning that David Cameron and George Osborne were committed to matching Gordon Brown's and Alistair Darling's departmental spending plans pound for pound.
Even on the day of the last General Election, still under Brown and Darling, with Ed Miliband and Ed Balls in close attendance on them, there was no recession in the United Kingdom, and this country enjoyed a Triple A credit rating.
Who would believe that that was a mere four and a half years ago?
I almost hope that there is another crash between today and next year's General Election.
After all, an incoming Government with its members' previous record would quickly sort out the consequences here.
