"The pledges are to keep mortgages and inflation as low as possible;
to have 10,000 extra teachers; 20,000 extra nurses; 6,000 extra
police officers and the minimum wage increased to £4.20 an hour."

I fear all these may actually have been achieved. What a depressing
thought.

Yes - let's get back to the good old days of high unemployment and
pay rises every few months (even though the cash didn't seem to buy
as much as it did last month), eh Huge? At least it would keep the
number of cars on the road down, wouldn't it.

I've no idea what you're on about. And I suspect that you don't,
either.

You seemed to be saying that you found extra teachers, nurses and police
officers and an improved minimum wage a depressing thought. Seems to me that
these things would improve employment and generally improve the wealth of
those on the minimum wage.

Maybe you hadn't thought carefully enough about your earlier response.
