They are as all as bad as each other treating the public as little more than lap-dogs. However i simply feel that Labour have created this mess and they should clear it up. Should that mean big cuts (like the Irish have done) so be it. They must not be allowed to walk away from this and then blame who ever is elected. For once they need to live in the rule world like the 'common' man you only spend what you have. Remember these two dont let them walk away.
I don't think you understand what's happened recently. Brown is a shite politician, Darling punishes the wealthy that have SUCCEEDED in life and therefore I am highly against there interpretation on different societies, no I wonder I was surprised to hear they were formed by a bunch of working-class people. I don't think many people in Britain would agree what you are suggesting nor your evidence in proving your point.
Don't be stupid. Vote Conservative

Interesting that my three children 12 14 and 16 think Blair and Brown are the devils spawn who have ruin'ed this country!

How exactly? Would you prefer a socitey that was subject to RMT style strikes across the entire economy?

Binmen are striking in our TORY controlled council
Train staff are striking in Thatcher's privatised railways
No, not on the same scale I agree but I resent the fact that unless I win the lottery I'll never have a house to call my own. And that IS her fault

Do you actually have a clue? It was Thatcher that made ordinary council tenants the ability to buy their house. That allowed 2 million people to buy a house that wouldn't otherwise have been able to.

Give us a rundown then , what exactly do you think he'll do that will impact on you ? Or are you just repeating stuff you've heard your dad say ?

And now there aren't enough council houses meaning seven year waiting lists and rip off housing associations.
THAT'S my beef

i wonder if you realise that before Thatcher and right to buy most people never had any hope of owning a home, unless they got involved in self build, got an inheritence or went without an awful lot (saving for years). You have far more oppurtunity to own your own home than your parents or certainly grandparents ever did.

God what kind of world would we live in when people were allowed to have views about things that happened before their time. Christ, people on here would be saying they know things about WW1 and WW2!! We'd even have to invent some sort of subject for the kids at school to learn about the past...

And that, my friend, is the problem. RTB encouraged many people who couldn't afford it, despite the massive bribes (sorry, discounts) to join the great home-owning democracy. Et voila, the birth of the sub-prime market.
