    If you are at the bottom of the ladder the Tories will make sure you stay there.


    Really, and how will they do that ?

    Given that under Labour the gap between the richest and poorest has got worse, social mobility has reduced and job opportunities have shrivelled how will the Tories be any worse (without trotting out the usual lies from the bunker).

    I loved Labour's slogan ' an end to boom and bust'
    They have managed to cause a bigger bust than Katie Price. Good grief, can't come around quick enough for me. I wish I worked for BA, then I could take great delight in showing Mr Brown that the exits are here, here, & here.......................

    To be very fair to Gordon Brown he did proclaim an end to "Tory Boom and Bust" and he was right. This was nothing like a "Tory Boom and Bust", it was considerably worse.

    Arrghh thanked in error.

    Hmmm maybe they should change their name to HARD LABOUR if elected though? After all, it's what those of us who dare to work for a living will be doing in order to continue to pay for the supine masses of illiterate, Asbo ridden, workshy underclasses that Nu lab has nutured whilst we simultaneously attempt to pay off their obscene debts..
