Don't you interfere with mine and Swarbs argumentI think he was right on both ****s
booby
May 2007: Inflation 2.6%
June 2008: Inflation 4.3%
Suck my stats.
In fact:
May 1979: Inflation 13.4%
May 1990: Inflation 9.7%
Therefore Margaret Thatcher >>> Tony Blair.
Blair wasn't in power in 2007 and 2008 so suck your stats
Have you any stats for unemployment
Also Thatcher was PM until Nov 1990
Effing typos. Should say June 2007 and November 1990. Figures are still right:

Unemployment went from 5.3% in 1979 to 7.1% in November 1990, to 7.2% in May 1997 to 7.7% in May 2010. But then you have to take account of the ****ting mess Callaghan left the country in, and the fact that Britain in 1997 was in excellent financial shape before Tone and Gord shafted us royally. Because I say you have to...
So unemployment was higher when Thatcher was kicked out,and don't forget the 28 fiddles of the unemployment figures
Yes, but also higher when Blair and Brown were kicked out. And don't forget the ã100 billion pension raid that paid for a massive expansion in the public sector under the gruesome twosome...
Just to add my two peneth to this thread. I voted Lib Dem to keep the Tories out, so I was less than impressed with the Con-Dem alliance who seem intent on doing just that, Condeming public services by slashing their budgets and laying off workers. Whilst at the same time going back on the promises to tax the banks and cap their bonuses. I understand that we need the banks to generate wealth, but make no mistake, they've been shafting this country (and others) for years to line their own pockets. Governments know they can't exist without them, so it doesn't really matter who is in power, they are in the iron grip of the capitalists. At least the old socialists tried to wrestle power from the few rich families that control the multinationals and give the working man a voice.
And on the subject of Gordon Brown, he was actually a very good politician, albeit not very dynamic or PR friendly...but that is an indictment on our modern society, where PR spin is the order of the day.
If there's one politician who should have been PM.. it was Tony Benn

Both the poor and the rich are members of the human race, which is the race whom commit the most crime?
In my neck of the woods it was Lib v Con - tactical voting.....and then the Futhamuckers jumped into bed with the Tories
The only elections i have ever voted in are for the Welsh Assembly,the reason being that some members are elected by PR and i get the chance to vote CommunistIn my neck of the woods it was Lib v Con - tactical voting.....and then the Futhamuckers jumped into bed with the Tories
It's ok you can swear here,Motherfuckers is acceptableIn my neck of the woods it was Lib v Con - tactical voting.....and then the Futhamuckers jumped into bed with the Tories
Lets be clear on one thing here all politicians become politicians for one reason, not for the good of others or their communities but for themselves. They all fiddle their expenses by and large and most don't declare their outside interests. There's not a lot of difference being shafted by Blair than there is Cameron they are all ****ing liars and the truth is deliberately withheld to protect their inadequacies or crimes.
Now we agree that these ****s are for themselves it makes it easier to see that their are no real differences between the Tories, Labour 0r the corduroy wearing gay boy Liberals (yes the very ones that wanted to lower gay sex consent to 14 years old) these days. The world has changed so much that socialism would not be tolerated in Britain anymore. So we have intrinsically three parties who are all the same by and large run by public school boys all out to line their pockets at our expense.
Do any of you really think that 50's style party ideologies actually mean anything anymore? No of course they ****ing well don't whether it be Cameron, Brown or Uncle Tom Cobbly you will still get royally shafted and they don't give a ****, they have a monopoly and the power of attorney.
**** em all

Actually no, Labour policies were fine for about four years, until 2001 when they abandoned the "Third Way" and went back to their bad old habits of overspending to prop up the economy and try to deliver all the broken promises they made about the NHS, leaving us facing a major recession with record levels of debt and one of the highest budget deficits in the OECD. Other than that, well done Tone and Gord...
