Well your impression is not just totally wrong, it is 180 degrees
away from the reality. The deficit was going UP every year, and every
year he borrowed MORE then the previous year and the deficit increased
even more.


Please post a link to where you got this information from.


No need. It was discussed ad-nauseum by all the political
commentators, and widely covered by the BBC and other outlets
during the 2010 election campaign.

Then your memory is as faulty as your opinions. And Blair wasn't the PM
during the 2010 election campaign.
