Criticism from the British press

The following is an excerpt from an editorial that appeared in the British newspaper, the Daily Express:

" ... spread welfare dependency and attempted to dismantle our national identity through multi-culturalism .... He has run up debts that will take generations to clear and created a prohibitively expensive public sector. ... based around expanding the state, downgrading personal responsibility, destroying nationhood and rewarding victimhood."

The Express is complaining about the dismal job that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown (Labour Party) has done, and how Britain couldn't be any worse off under a new Conservative government.

Why? Who did you think they were talking about?
