Well worth doing, all UK 'catters and I know several who have. May I remind you (precised from Neil Kinnock)

"I warn you not to fall ill. I warn you not to get old. You will have pain – when healing and relief depend upon payment. You will have poverty – when pensions slip and benefits are whittled away. You will be home-bound – when fares and transport bills lock you up. I warn you not to expect work – when many cannot spend, more cannot earn. I warn you not to go out after dark nor in protest in the light. The curfew of fear and the gibbet of unemployment make you obedient."

It may be worth noting that that warning was an attempt to prevent the re-election of Margaret Thatcher in 1983. She was re-elected, and clearly Neil Kinnock's worries did not come to fruition, as the same warnings are being issued now(a quarter of a century later).

Clearly, if labour don't manage to re-take control of the country the sky will fall on my poor bald head! (I admit to exaggeration!)
