Labour -the NON working persons party-Proud to be British

Labour were at one time the 'working mans party'.

These days,they seem to be the party for anyone who wants a free ride.

As a tax payer of many years,I'm bitterly dissapointed in their
representation of the 'working man/woman' in the UK over the last few years and the present time.

What more can this party do to destroy this once highly regarded country ? They have blead so many people dry with there expensive policies,so much so that many people have no more to give.Don't get me wrong I love the UK,especially England,and have every intension of staying here until the day I die.

Just look how many people want to run away from it all,tens of thousands would move out of this country tomorrow given the chance.Yet so many people would give their right arm to live here.Look at the recent reports on the news at the immigrants in Calais.How many people cursed them for just wanting to get here ? Think about it,these people are desperate,so desperate they're prepared to die trying.....

This starts putting it into perspective some what ,and about the positives of this country.So although labour are screwing it up on a daily basis,I'm still glad I live here,and I am above anything else proud to be British !:T

    I'm glad you are still proud to be British. I am not. Being a Brit, 'governed' by the appauling excuse for a government that we have had for the last 12 years, to me is highly embarassing. If I could leave this hole of a country I would.

    A decade or so ago, i was also proud to be British, but i have to admit to not feeling so nowadays, this country has become a joke worldwide.

    That depends on what you are suffering from, i was recently ill, and only because of the persistant pressure put on the NHS by my wife, i would have still been waiting for the operation needed to return to work, i was informed at my pre-op screening that normal waiting times for my op were between 6 and 12 months, and if i had waited that long i would have lost my job, defaulted on my mortgage, and been potentially homeless.
    Compare that to the "plight" of those serving at "her Majestys pleasure" they HAVE to be treated within 2 weeks.

    Quit often, it's once you're there that you start suffering for two years (or more!)

    I have had a lot of personal experience with the NHS and I can tell you it has improved no end. It’s still far from perfect but it’s a lot better than it was.
