Love the way "Labour Supporters" now like to shy away from any responsibility for electing not once, not twice, but THREE times the party they all decry as "New Labour". The likes of Shaw can claim never to have voted for New Labour but he did vote for anybody to keep the Tories out in a constituency where Labour didn't have a hope in hell - That Shaw is tantamount to voting for them.

Sure in 1997 Labour moved towards the right of the centre ground - it was the only chance they had of EVER getting into power and you the "supposed Labour supporters" cheered them on as they did so. Unfortunately like all Labour Governments they made a complete and utter bollocks of it, leaving the country in the mire as they were seen slinking out of office leaving "No money left" notes for their successors.

Corbyn and his "next-disaster-in-waiting" crew would be no different and could possibly be a damned sight worse judging by the content and supposed costing of their populist manifesto that various financial organisations and think tanks thought at best was 100% underestimated as far as the costs went (Labour hadn't even bothered to factor in the cost of leaving the EU and had underestimated the cost of scrapping student loans and cancelling the debt of existing students by over two-thirds)

Fact still remains pfr for every ONE council house built by Labour in the Blair & Brown era, Margaret Thatcher's Government built SEVENTY-FOUR.

Are we (The World) better off than we were 40 years ago?

DAMN RIGHT WE ARE:

World economy has doubled in size
Number living below the poverty line has halved
The middle-classes are the largest and fastest growing economic group throughout the world
Infant mortality rates have fallen
Life expectancy has increased
