There’s actually a very quick answer to these questions NO and NO. I am, however, a politician so let me elaborate,
This Country has been in a financial state which was as bad as that which pertained at the end of World War 2. In my view this financial crisis was not just a product of an international problem as members of the Labour Party claim Although that is part of the truth. London is one of the three big financial centres in the world. The problems caused by the bankers were mostly created here and in New York where masculine, testosterone charged Anglo Saxon barrow boy behaviour ran riot. Why? Because the Bush and Blair governments thought that this was good and that this faux wealth created would trickle down to ordinary people.
