Next General Election

I can't bring myself to laugh at the whole New Labour disaster. The fact that they've pissed away billions upon billions on our ridiculously bloated public sector in the name of "investment" makes me quite sick.

In all fairness they have blown it mainly on badly managed IT projects that have kept a lot of contractors (that would be us) in reasonably steady, reasonably well paid employment....for what its worth thats my two peneth.

A tiny proportion of the money has gone to us.

Most has gone to American or German businesses (EDS, SAP, CSC, etc.) so the money has even left the country.

If we had been getting the money instead of jealous legislation the jobs would have been done on time and would have worked.

I reckon UTC really means 'Under The Clock'.

Isn't UTC something the Americans invented because they couldn't stand the idea of GMT containing evidence that we invented it?

A bit like the fact that it's compulsory for all the villains in their films to be English?

I was in the states about eight years ago, after a few weeks I was longing for a reminder of home.

I don't think. I know they will do better !!!! New Lie are the biggest incompetent losers of all time. It will not take any geniuses to improve on their total failure. They have managed to interfere and lower standards in all areas.

For example:

Blair incorporated the Human Rights Act into British Law, the ramifications of which have been disastrious.

.........

Immigration !!

......

etc etc etc

Hmm - Human Rights - what a terrible idea.

As for immigration - one (big) problem we have is that a penny pinching government removed exit controls which means we (in theory) know who came in to the UK, but we have no idea who's left again. Who abolished exit controls?

I agree this government has made some stinking foul-ups and lied to us (Iraq and ID cards are top of my hate list), but quite a few of these things were agreed to by Tories - you have already made totally bogus claims about Tory taxation and failed to back up any of them with any evidence. Time will tell if you are right about the next Troy government - one things for sure, no matter how bad they are, you'll think they are faultless
