    So you remember the massive privatisations,the streaming of full production of North Sea Oil?

    The countles billions of pounds raised from state owned companies given to the middle clases as election bribes.

    The masive underfunding of the NHS,the Armed forces,the public servive sectors.

    If you do and still want to vote for them good luck.

    Again I will say she left over 18 years ago, and labour have now been in power for 12ish years, so they have had plenty of time to turn everything around.

    Which they haven't done, infact this country is more in debt than it has ever been.

    When your taxes rise (which they will have to do because of Labours spending) I'm sure you will still blame it on the Tories.

    Thank the Tories for that,they cut funding to the armed forces savagely with decades of lasting effect.

    In fact contrary to popular belief the biggest boost to the armed foces was by the labour government in the 1971 pay review which aligned forces pay with their civilian equivalent.

    The witch denuded this country of it`s wealth,it was a one time bonanza.

    I defy any Tory to argue that if that wealth was still available we would be one of the wealthiest countries on earth.

    1971...you're going on about something that happened in 1971.

    Well it was the Tories that led the defeat of the Nazi Army in 1945

    And explain to me then why a traffic warden gets paid more than a young soldier fighting in Afghan? Explain to me why the Labour Government sent British Troops to fight a war without the correct kit?

    It was the Americans who defeated the Nazis.

    If it wasn`t for the 1971 pay review by the Labour party those poor boys would be dying for less.

    Not in the battle of Britian it wasn't.

    And I'll think you'll find we had a BIG part in the defeat of the Nazi's.

    Oh I'm sorry I didn't realise it was ok to die for less than what a traffic warden earns, but slighty more than what someone in Burger king earns.
