eric the red - You said worst ever Labour government but what's the alternative? A counter argument (borrowed from comedian Mark Thomas) is that it doesn't matter whether you're run over by a one-ton or a two-ton truck, you're still flattened. If New Labour (paltry minimum wage and all - trust me, I've lived on it) are an actual alternative to the Tories then I'm Tony Benn. Glad Roy Bailey's now noticed this.
