:applause: Like a trawler battling against a mountainous sea, we crested a huge wave. 9th and the Carling before we plunged and dived into the trough. We are not on a Battleship like the migster. We are a smaller boat. We are now going to pull up and ride the next wave. Things Can Only Get Better. :applause: |

As much as I dislike Blair/Brown. They saved and improved the NHS Put more money into the police and the reduced rampant crime rates AND- - Education-Education-Education Rebuilt schools that your party favourites had run down Got the highest intake to Uni's and Higher Educatuion in history Things got better under Blair/Brown. Good tune as well. **thumbup Suits me for Blues. |

The NHS had never been in such as bad state as when there term finished. They re built schools with money they didn`t have, which is why my sons school is in a state of half repair. Got the highest intake in uni`s due to lowering the grades needed to get in, which ment kids went to avoid working for 3-4 years. which then ment the un employment figures went down, but student`s went sky high Things got better under Blair/Brown. Yea right mate, After 12 years of them jokers the country has never been so skint. |

This is what happens when you read the Daily Mail or the Sun/ Express, everyday. More nurses, more doctors. Under Blair/Brown 25 rebuilt hospitals. State of the art Hospitals that the tories now want to sell off to BUPA etc. For about £250. Schools that were condemmed by local authorities, under Thatcher's own Tory councils, rebuilt or relocated. into new-build. Entrance qualifications were NEVER reduced. They put investment into more Hi-Tech local Polys, to bring them upto Uni requirements. Thus making more spaces for kids and at the same time maintaining standards. Try understanding and researching, rather than spouting off. You are actually saying that every kid that got a University Education from 1997 - 2009 got it by default? Got it because they weren't good enough. <<Abuse removed by Mods.> <<Abuse removed by Mods.> Better still, get a more objective view - - change your newspaper :kiss: |

I think you will find the Sun supported new labour and their support certainly helped in them getting elected. I may be wrong but I have you down for the guardian or the daily mail, maybe you should try reading another paper and taking an objective view. Anyway isn't this a blues forum? |

Without wishing to participate in a topic that should truely be held in another part of the forum, you might want to read up on the levels of debt this country had in the post war years. The debt we have at the moment is peanuts compared to then, and this was a time when the NHS was set up, not being ripped to shreads. |

Agreed. Three straight elections won, and 14 years in government. Wouldn't mind a bit of that kind of success down the Blues. |

Spot-on Slogger. The country is in such a state because of those lot from '97 onwards. They had a huge majority, a huge mood swing and a huge honeymoon period ............and they blew it. We are in such a mess because of Gordon Brown. Simple as. Horrid and selfish political animal behind the scenes and awful financial policies. And now they are lumbered with his disciples --- Red Ed, Balls and Mrs Balls. Pop Pop - "Things Can Only Get Better" is a terrible song for us to keep in mind. |

I think Britain under Blair and Brown and Blues under Yeung is a good analogy. Both borrowed huge amounts of money and built a business model that was unsustainable. The inevitable happened and the money has to be repaid so cuts have to be made. The main difference is that Yeung could lose his reputation and his own fortune, Blair and Brown continue to trawl the world increasing their multi-million pound personal wealth while the tax payer pays for their economic lunacy. |

For the avoidance of any doubt, the Daily Mail is in fact a right wing rag. |

Here's one. http://econ.economicshelp.org/2009/03/hist...ional-debt.html The key point is this graph... Posted Image which shows the level of UK debt as a percentage of GDP over the last 90 years or so, and whilst we're at about 45%, in the post war years, we were at almost 250%. So yes, we're in debt. But we've been in worse, much worse. Ask yourself, why has the current government made such a big thing of the debt levels we are in? Is it so they can save the country money, or is it so that they can make their cuts on ideological grounds rather than financial ones. Then look at what and who are feeling the effects of the cuts, and look at which companies have been let off huge VAT bills. This is not me saying the last adminstration were any good either, the recession happened on their watch, and that scottish moog was as much to blame as the financial sectors, but this lot are compounding the misery by gutting some of the institutions that made this country great in the first place. |

Its all ideological and a complete hatchet job to shoe horn these ideologies into some form of policy. The big idea to stimulate the economy through entrepreneurship and business is just a way of saying lets give breaks to the wealthy and take a hammer to the lower classes. It has so far failed miserably, as any economic growth in this century needs to be consumer driven. |

Why do people view more students at university a good thing? they may have got more students into university, but that means more people coming out competing for jobs. It's too easy to get a degree or get into university now thanks to labour, hence why we have such a massive job crisis among graduates, labour made a degree meaningless in the world of work. this is coming from a student at university. |

Why do people view more students at university a good thing? It just means more people coming out of university competing for jobs, hence why we have such a massive job crisis among graduates. Every man and his dog now has a degree. Labor made degrees meaningless by making it so easy to get into university and by making degrees easier, now no one cares if you have a degree, its all about job experience. this is coming from a student at university. Also anyone that thinks that creating wealth is wrong and view it as 'making the rich richer' is a complete idiot. If we don't have wealthy people we don't have business, if we don't have businesses we don't have jobs, like it or not we need the rich. If you don't agree with it you are obviously one of those people that think it is their divine right to have as much wealth and opportunity as the rich, even if you haven't worked for it, typical socialist. |
