We agree!
"In 1997, "New" Labour, shorn of its destructive hard-Left doctrines and with an energetic and charismatic leader, seemed the answer."
Unfortunately the shoddy wallpaper job, papering over the existing cracks of 'Old' Labour with a spin and a smile, aided by Peter Mandleson now Lord was never going to last.
"But the real story of the Labour years is one of under-achievement, rank failure and a vast expansion of wasteful government interference in everyone's lives."
We couldn't have put it better!
Sun article: Here
"Blair took office with bulging coffers, an invincible majority and weak opposition, and he and Gordon Brown could have worked miracles.
But they FAILED on law and order, their mantra "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" becoming a national joke. Knife murders are soaring. Smirking criminals routinely walk free in the name of political correctness, while decent people live in a virtual police state of snooping cameras and petty officials empowered to spy and to punish."
The list of failure is extensive: Law and Order, Education, Health, Immigration, Children, Our troops overseas, Europe, the Economy...
On that last point the economy. The UK finances are in a shambles, government borrowing is out of control, £175 billion for this year alone. How is this going to be paid back, with rising unemployment and falling tax revenues? A large part of the banking sector is effectively nationalised, Northern Rock, Bradford and Bingley, RBS, Lloyds TSB/HBOS. The only expanding aspect of the UK economy is more debt!
