Subject: RE: BS: UK local elections: here comes poverty
well for what its worth I think things have been better under labour.

More people have been working. And when that happens they collect more tax, and people have less interest in getting into the kind of mischief that causes social problems and makes life a misery for the rest of us.

I'm not in the Labour fan club. they could have done much better. But they do seem preferable the alternative.

I mean seriously do you want the tories back. do you want them cosying up to Paisley's lot causing all sorts of shit on the streets of Northern Ireland? All those idiot right wing intiatives that cost the taxpayers thousands - like the national curriculum (cos all teachers are left wing errorists) fund holding gp's ( working towards the situation they masterminded with dentists and half the people can't get on an NHS practitioners list). Huge rates of unemployment as 'unecomomic' businesses get weeded out with the help of the uncaring banks and financial institutions. For Chrissake if history teaches us anthing - business is GOOD - any kind of business is better business than unemployment. Thatcher went on making the same mistake for about 14 years that Wilson did with SET.

Its all one way traffic Les, screwing the very poorest and those with least economic clout in our society. It will happen again if you vote for them, and its no good whining if they your kid gets falls victim to drugs, gambling, or cheap booze - any of the things that are allowed to attack our children unregulated - because we don't believe in a nanny state.

You voted for it.
