Steed:

Actually there's been people that have looked at the figures and found that ignoring recession itself, the structural deficit under Labour was the same as the current coalition target. In other words, regardless of their faults (and they had many) the Labour government wasn't to blame for the deficit, but the global recession was.

Basically it's yet another excuse used by the coalition government to justify their ideological based 'cuts' that are not only costing more money than they are saving, but are crippling the country.
