There's lots of life in a tramps vest as well, but not the kind of life we would want for ourselves. Their all wearing their Cameron "Caring Conservatism" masks at the moment but underneath they're just the same old bunch that took from the poor and gave to the rich in the 80's and 90's and when they get into government they'll do exactly the same again.

As the saying goes, better the devil you know. All we really know about the tories is what they did in the 80s and 90s. In those days they positively encouraged greed and de-regulated everything. Unfortunately the labour government didn't have the balls to re-instate some of those financial constraints and look where it has got us now. The only thing the tories did do that was good for the UK was to control the might of the trade unions.

I firmly believe that under the Cameron mask that they're all hiding behind, they still believe as Maggie did that there is no such thing as society, only individuals....... and now they rant about broken Britain when it was their policies in the eighties that started the breakdown of society as we had known it in the past.

Our current unemployment was caused by a worldwide recession brought about by the credit crunch which was in turn brought about by greedy bankers selling worthless fluff to each other just to make huge bonuses for themselves. The mass unemployment of the eighties was caused by conservative strict monetarist policies and was accepted by them as a price worth paying......... as long as it wasn't their people (the rich) who were paying it.

Even though they say we must cut public spending, they're still sticking to their promise to abolish inheritance tax. I do believe that inheritance tax, because of house price inflation is affecting many people that the original tax was not aimed at and in the south east especially mr or mrs average. But this throwing the baby out with the bathwater approach is not the answer and only means that mr or mrs average will have to pay more in other ways just so that the super rich (those who the tax was originally aimed at) can pass on all of their wealth to their probably already wealthy offspring..... and the rich get richer and the poor and the average get poorer....... same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, with a tory government.

Who was it that encouraged able bodied but somehwat feckless people to move on to incapacity benefit to make the unemployment figures look better, the tories of course.

By gum lad.....

Sound like "Red Robbo" and Scargill, all rolled into one.....

The country and its people have been stitched up by Labour and the unions from day one, and although you can see it, you will not admit it.
