I have No point to make, I was just wondering how many people remember how bad the Tories were.Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind. - Albert Einstein.

I remember my mum and dad's worried faces when the ERM debacle sent interest rates over 15%. I also remember my Dad having to take increasingly lower level jobs as redundancies took hold and jobs were few and far between.
I doubt it would have been any different under a Labour government though. Except perhaps the dole amount would have been greater.Mortgage Free in 3 Years (Apr 2007 / Currently / Δ Difference)
[strike]● Interest Only Pt: £36,924.12 / £ - - - - 1.00 / Δ £36,923.12[/strike] - Paid off! Yay!!
● Home Extension: £48,468.07 / £44,435.42 / Δ £4032.65
● Repayment Part: £64,331.11 / £59,877.15 / Δ £4453.96
Total Mortgage Debt: £149,723.30 / £104,313.57 / Δ £45,409.730 -
They pulled this country back from the brink, took it close again and pulled it back.0

Yes, it was bad but this lot are taking our liberties way and need to be stopped in their tracks. No party in this country should be in for more than two terms - they all do too much damage when they are.0
