Justin,

Things have moved on alright - fewer union members than at any time since the war, British workers the easiest to sack in Europe, 'Tax Credits' to con people into crap jobs while their skinflint employers have their payroll subsidised at the public expense, Civil Liberties under their greatest threat in a century, public sector workers bullied and brutalised into casualised and privatised jobs, whole sections of the community demonised because of their race and religion and a Labour government - A Labour government - on the verge of committing us to yet another generation of nuclear weapons. You all know the rest so I won't go on.

I'll take some good, old-fashioned bloody-minded socialism any day.

How are your ISA and your shares doing, by the way?
