All Labour have to do is tell the facts about their record, which is superb.
The Hurray Henry Tories shadow cabinet are all from the same few schools. The best we have had is Blair/Brown. They took the country from a basket case under the Tories into one of the world's strongest economies. The pound was the world strongest currency for about 10 years. Constitutionally they got rid of hereditary Lords. The average person has little idea of what this means - it paves the way to Land Value Taxation and a more truer democracy. Also the zero unemployment with over a million migrant workers to fuel the booming economy. Under Blair/Brown since 1997. Magnificent Facts....... * The UK had the longest sustained economic growth in history. * The UK economy has been the world's most robust. * The pound has been almighty strong. * 9/11 caused a recession in most of the western world. It never happened here. * Massive investment in schools and unis. More schools were built under them than at any other time. * Massive investment in health. More hospitals were built under them than at any other time. * Provincial cities have boomed with their skylines changing beyond belief. * Some superb anti-social laws have been implemented. The parents are now made responsible for their children's conduct. * The country even absorbed over 1 million eastern Europeans and still not have an unemployment problem. * Hereditary peers abolished - the biggest constitutional change since the 1600s, removing a self-interst group of large land owners, paving the way for Land Value Taxation. * Provincial cities went on massive building programmes - look at the skyscrapers in Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham. * Rail infrastructure is being greatly improved - electrification projects. Tram schemes in many cities. High Speed Rail Networks are planned. * etc. The Tories have no intention of changing the current privileged ruling class Eton/Harrow/Oxbridge system. They are just shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic. Look at the appalling Tory record: * Cardboard cities - and they didn't care, blaming the victims * Mass unemployment - Horrendous levels. * Poll Tax * Riots every few years * Devastation of industry - One fifth of industry went under Thatcher and Major. * Devastation of economic growth creating infrastructure - It was privatized. E.g., Thatcher said the railways and mines were losing money. They were not as they were a part of the wealth creating process. She was so dumb her and her party could not see that. * Private Profit and Socialised Debts - Thatcher privatized the rail tracks creating Railtrack and of course it went bust having to be replaced by a Network Rail and non-profit organisation setup by Tony Blair. Small investors were ripped off and taxpayer picking up the bill yet again. privatized profits and socialized debts when they have creamed off and ran. * North Sea Oil Wasted - A total wasting of the greatest legacy left to us - North Sea Oil. The revenue from the oil was not invested into the country, in education, training and industry, just used for dole money in failed economic theories. * Failed Economic Theories -Implementing the silly Thatcher neo-capitalism that was bound to fail and did with the Credit Crunch. * etc * etc * etc Within months of Blair coming to power the cardboard cities were gone. Only when the world-wide Credit Crunch came in from abroad did it stall. Brown put together the world-wide rescue plan at the G20 meeting in London. In these difficult economic times we need hard nosed experience to steer us out with Brown having that. We do not need a bunch of Hurray Henry's all from a few schools - like they have in banana republics. |

Atlee + Land = Mess We Have Today.
NuLabour have what circa 55,000 GPs at circa £250,000 with bonuses or equivalent re locum costs. If you reduce 55,000 to £50,000 for 10yrs you save £110 BILLION. If you reduce the retirement tax free golden handshake from £175,000 to £10,000 it saves another £4 BILLION. UK currency is the only major currency in the world to be -34% compared to 1974. Oops, make that -37%... -38%... -39%... UK debt is #2 in the world. UK has a floating currency, oops, make that sinking currency. If you think devaluation & inflation is a solution, try asking your Gilt buyers what they want to finance NuLabour 2010-2014. |

Under Mrs T's reign the pound to US$ rate fell to something like 1.03. The current weakness of the pound is not good - especially for me, earning in £ and spending in A$ - but is protecting British jobs. -- Tony Bryer, Greentram: 'Software to build on' Melbourne, Australia www.superbeam.co.uk www.eurobeam.co.uk www.greentram.com |

The new Greek spending plans aren't strictly under the control of the Greek government, but down to the fact that Greece is effectively bankrupt and now run by bankers/liquidators. Now what government was in power the last time the IMF were brought in to bail out the government? |

Tony was perfectly capable of accepting that he was wrong, but he didn't see that it mattered. As long as he truly BELIEVED he was right, at the time. He always wanted to be judged on a moral basis, whilst the rest of the country was crying out for him to be judged on the basis of competence. Colin Bignell |

Anyway all should be clear about how the vote went shortly, by this time tomorrow with any luck. If the result follows the pollsters it will take some time to sort out the hung parliament and drag Brown, kicking and screaming out of No 10. |
