Is it just me......

Can you think of anything Labour *hasn't* made worse in the last ten years?

I'm eternally flipped if I can.

They haven't made the Health Service worse - not as much better as they should have, but not worse.

Freedom of Information - they panicked when they realised what it was going to mean, but it's been a step forward, and one we never managed under previous Labour or Tory governments.

Writing off African Debt

Not a great record for 10 years and they deserve the sack ASAP, but just as the Tories aren't all bad, neither are Labour.

Labour are not all bad? You can't be serious!

BTW it's 12 years, not 10.

I (for shame) voted Labour in 1997, hoping they would deliver on their promises. What a total corking mug I was!

I realised I was the 'enemy' when Dawn Primarolo rolled out IR35.

Nothing has changed since. Labour are a shower of incompetent, authoritarian, big-state, intrusive-state, chunts.

May they all rot in hell.

I've never been a big fan of the Tories, but I am now!

I agree with you on the authoritarian points and, having voted Labour in '97 am also gutted that they have been so useless. But if I could go back. I'd do the same again because the one thing we didn't need was another four or five years of John Major's tax rises and sleaze. I'm voting Tory next time on the single issue of ID cards, but to suggest that the only party that can't be trusted is Labour shows a lack of appreciation of history. They have done some good - not nearly as much as they should have, but some nonetheless.

LOL! Dig deep!

Yes, Labour gave us the NHS, a great idea, which is perpetually on the brink of extinction under this godawful administration. I have a good friend whose wife is a senior hospital manager. She says the whole thing is a ferking basket case.
