Turns out David Cameron has form on this too. This 'wanting things to get worse' is actually the reason I veered away from involvement in far left politics when I was a student in Liverpool in the 1980s. The middle-class lefty students I came across seemed to relish every time unemployment figures went up, as it brought the revolution a day nearer. No concern for those whose lives were actually being affected by the misery.

Hello Kerry. I am glad you enjoyed your recent visit to my city - well, the one I live in. Sorry I never got into the secure area!
I read your comment;
"...every time unemployment figures went up... No concern for those whose lives were actually being affected by the misery."
Sorry, but I could not help thinking about the thousands of pubs which have closed since a certain time, and you know that I am talking about months before the 'credit crunch'. It must be getting on for 100,000 people made unemployed because of this, including licensees who lost their homes.
Sorry to mention it. You know what I am referring to.
