Oh how quickly we forget, what was the last UK government was trying to do by installing more CCTV cameras than the whole of europe combined? What was it Tony and Guy were trying to do by introducing laws to pick up anyone off the street under the terrorism bill? A bill that has been utterly abused. Why is inheritance tax robbing families to feed spongers? If that's not mass control of peoples destiny I don't what is. Socialism is wrong when it is like this, IMO Germany is well ahead of the curve at the minute where compared to the UK for interfering in peoples personal lives. Don't make me
For once I agree with part of what you're saying. New Lab were about control.
But after the recession in the early 90s, from about 1992 to 1997 there was strong growth without credit, a strong ethic of paying for yourself, the pension provision was the envy of Europe, we were on a trajectory of virtous growth.
Unfortunatley the Tories self-destructed with some sleaze that now seems minor compared with what we're used to now.
And Labour in trying to be "more like Europe" simply threw billions at problems with the ensuing result.
