Whatever, Gervase but I'll bet that unlike you, I did need New Deal and in fact had an employer willing to take me on until it emerged that going on a government training course within 12 months of this actually stopped me - great system - make the effort to get trained and not get a job because of it....

Argue for all you want about Blair but please remember when you try to make your smarmy comments about those of us being too well off not to need it or notice what has been done, I have been in need and I doubt you have.
