Free season ticket to good home

[SWP's back]

My wage quadroupled under the first 11 years of Labour government, and

Thatcher did take milk from the most vulnerable.

The Blair/Brown Government did, if anything, put vulnerable people to the top of their list.

Older people, children, people with disabilities, excluded people with non-conventional lifestyles were all looked after.

The Tories were against the state pension.

The Tories were in favour of the Poor Laws, with Oliver Twist style workhouses for the poor.

the Tories didn't think women should vote, and that men who didn't own a house shouldn't vote.

God help us all!

Yes yes, go back to policies from the Dicken's era. That is relevant now! (pah)

Also - my earnings more than quadroupled over the last 13 years but I was only working 6 hours as a waiter back in 97 (aged 16). DOesn't mean I have Labour top thank for anything.

Anyway, I care not. My party has beaten your party and another party is joining in the fun.

ps - If this was just an English parliament - Labour would never be in power, it is only the Welsh and Scottish votes that ever pull you through. Hurry up devolution.

Thanks for the history lesson - you sound like a rag telling me that City have a shit history whilst ignoring the future. Politics 100 years ago are irrelevent to what happens now. 'New Labour' gave up pretty much everything Old Labour stood for simply to get power - remember nationalised industries and unilateral nuclear disarmament? They were bad and unpopular policies so along with a raft of other 'principles' they cast them aside.

Anyhow, you lost, we won (almost) and you'll have to live with it until the next time, which might be soon.

PS - as for wages quadrupling, is that because you are a banker?

Just thinking of the many, rather than the few that's all.

Not to mention conveniently ignoring the odd illegal war...

Why vote unionist and complain about the union?

Says it all.

Which unfortunately killed the many and not the few. Anyway it was Dubya and Cheney's war really, we were just hapless stooges. Not one of Labour's finest moments though, I'll grant you. And neither was giving a knighthood to that whiskey sodden old git down Trafford Way either.

Hang on, my brother might have a point.

As long as you understand that New Labour voters can no longer claim the moral high ground.
