I got some paper like that the other day.
There is a quote from someone called Gillian on it. It says "I'm not voting for the Tories because of the last recession, never mind this one."
Which is perhaps the most astonishingly poor bit of reasoning I've ever seen, as well as an utterly desperate attempt at distraction.

That's not illogical.
Leaving aside the question of whether or not you agree with the proposition she's saying "I've seen how the Tories act during a recession, and I don't like it."
Perfectly logical.

No, she's saying
there was a recession during the last Tory government, which was the fault of the Tories because they were in government. Whereas this one doesn't count.

Maybe this one doesn't.
Did you get a terms of usage statement with your recession?

Eh?
You've lost me now.
