New Labaour - What have they actually improved in 10+ yrs

[ace00]

Britain is now the number 1 surveillance state in all Oceania.

"It is commonly estimated that the average Briton crosses the line of sight of a security camera 300 times each day."

And we also have a fantastic DNA database.

Britain is also a world leader in weapons of mass destruction and other deadly exports.

Boomed!

300 times a day is a bit worrying as I haven’t been out the flat since Thursday! I’ve got to go out tomorrow; I’m out of tinfoil.

try putting ten pence pieces on a railway line, it goes very thin , then you wont have to go out to buy tinfoil

Where is the 'improved absolutely nothing' option ?

Where is the 'improved absolutely nothing' option ?

Alongside the "I would vote for a monkey if it wore a blue rosette" option

Standards of living has improved and people are better off. (sic)

Or at least I am.

When Labour got in in 1997 I was a permie working out in the sticks earning £9000 a year and living in a bedsit.

Now I am a contractor working in the City and minted.

Well done nu Liebour

EDIT: On balance that might be in spite of New Labour and not because of them.

That's odd. In 1997 I was a contractor working in the City and minted......

Nu Labour continues brave fight to consolidate Britain's position as number 1 surveillance state in all World:

Councils get power to ‘spy’ on your e-mail and net use

Councils and health authorities are to be given the right to access e-mail and internet records under surveillance powers to be introduced next year, the Home Office said yesterday.

I liked this bit:

But yesterday the Home Office admitted that data would be held for much wider purposes than tackling terrorism and serious crime – and hundreds more organisations would be able to access it.

The emergency services, the Serious Organised Crime Agency, every local council, health authorities, the Post Office, Home Office, Ministry of Defence, Health and Safety Executive, Food Standards Agency and Post Office will have access to the information.

Food Standards Agency ,ffs

I guess this is what they meant by listening & learning,
