What I don't get about him is how he got to where he is. His products were/are sh1t!

why the flip do you think Labour would have increased taxes any more than the Tories have/are going to ?

Read their manifesto retard - Laboour says deficit will be reduced mainly by tax raises and in the second place by spending cuts, the Tories and Lib Dems said the other way around. It would not have been a big deal had it not been for deficit running so high thanks to Nu Liebor debts.
