Whatever Blair called himself, was a Tory in Labour drag - it's waht you do not what you call yourself that identify yourself
Thatcher's 'Ringt to Buy' scheme destroyed social housing in Britain well before Blair raised his ugly head
The post war Labour Government introduced National Health, Housing and nationalisation schemes into Britain and gave working people a voice in their own lives despite much bitter opposition from the Tories - those scemes virtually rebuilt Britain after the war.
That has been all but destroyed by Toriy Govenments with the help (or indifference) of the Labour right wing.
Go count the hospital beds or the shipyards Britain has no loger got - (or industry in genera for that matter)
Britain's greatest import today (30 odd percent of it) is money, benefiting only those directly involved in finance.
