Almost 25 years

[city2]

Since the millennium and the tories were in power for 14 of them. I am struggling to think of anything positive in that time apart from the Sheik taking over our Club. Technology has been the fastest improvement what with EV introduction. How many more private jets or yachts have been sold since the millennium . Trains roads and airports are lacking investment while some rich guy just spent close on 300m on his sons wedding there is no hope. What will it be like in another 25 years.

Don’t worry mate, Labour will turn it round. Not.

In 15 years Labour will be getting the same schtick the Tories are getting now.

Labour tend to give out "free stuff", Tories take it back and then charge you for it.

So it's unlikely that Labour would be viewed in the same way. Very few people look back on the Blair years as they do Thatcherism.

15 months I’d say…people are getting more and more impatient, they want everything now.

Labour were in power for many years during that time and the only decent thing I can remember them doing was the smoking ban. There's a fag paper between both of them. The difference is like shopping at Tesco's or Sainsbury's.

Labour were in for 3 years before the turn of the century. The Tories in for the previous 18

You are correct, Blair was elected PM in 1997. Labour were then in power to 2010. Some 13 years.

Can’t have it both ways.
He was certainly as corrupt as a Tory though. His accumulation of personal wealth after he left office was astonishing.

Exactly. That was ‘New Labour’ for you. He also knighted the GPC let’s not forget.

Just a gentle reminder of some of the best 'social' legislation in a generation ...... you have a somewhat small memory.
