    One of the comments:
    "I consider myself to have done well out of the past ten years. Since 1997 I have developed a new career, learned a new language, built a house, and finalised adequate financial provision for my family. I am therefore eternally grateful to NuLab, but only for convincing me as the new millennium dawned that the only way to achieve these goals was to emigrate, which I did."

    The writer is Simon Heffer - wasn't his dad the late Eric, the famous Old Labour MP?

    If he were alive today he'd be turning in his grave at what Labour has become.

    I think you may be suffering from polarisation. The world isn't black and white! You are permitted to use your intelligence and initiative.

    I dont call myself a Tory either, nor do I agree with everything the Telegraph says. leader writers such as janet Daley, Boris Johnson, Charles Moore and Tom Uttley write a lot of stuff that I agree with. I also agree with a lot of what Frank Field has to say.

    Make your own mind up about things there is no need to align yourself to a party or a specific ideology

    Spavin - a disease of the hock joint of horses in which enlargement occurs because of collected fluids (bog spavin), bony growth (bone spavin), or distention of the veins (blood spavin).
    Sounds like NL

    So can someone please help me to find points of disagreement with this?

    What have the past 10 years of Blair been for?
    Maybe if you adjust your initial premise you would find things easier to understand. Hating the Tories and the Telegraph is just mind conditioning. Once you have broken free of that, you will see things far more clearly.

    "But the extra taxes we have paid have been wasted, not least in putting 700,000 socially unproductive people on the public payroll, where they can gratefully vote for Gordon Brown in perpetuity. They, Mrs Blair, the Irish Republican Army and those for whom the most important thing in life is to be allowed to sodomise 16-year-old boys are the only ones I can think of who have done well out of the past 10 years. I suspect if Labour had told us that in 1997, we might even have voted for John Major."

    Classic.

    "spavined": what a wonderful word. I am going to try and use that in a conversation sometime today.
