| Who's blamed the British government? Before the 2008 crash people were reasonably prepared to listen to the government, business leaders and financial institutions. The crash changed all that as people realised that these people by and large don't actually know what they are talking about so there is little need to be deferential towards them. | |

In reality, though, it was a concerted and sustained tabloid campaign to undermine them, and keep it that way. Looks like it worked, too, eh?
"Don't listen to them - look what they did! Read all about it here and we'll tell you how to think from now on".
