Re: Things the Tories have not done for us
They gave us the "special relationship" with the USA. Read into that what you may.

Re: Things the Tories have not done for us
Mancie, the ironic thing is that you very rarely hear a peep out of the card-carrying Labour party members on this forum in defence of their government and here you are slugging away. I reckon mad Gord ought to sign you up to his press team right away!

They were even ashamed to say they were Labour at a recent by-election, yet in the mid nineties every leaflet at local elections carried endorsements from the Labour MP and good old Tony Blair

Re: Things the Tories have not done for us
Even I think this is an unfair attack on Tories. Just because they opposed a bill doesn't mean that they opposed the principle behind the bill, just the way it was presented and the economics of it.

And what is the alternative Wynonie.. a Tory Government that is hell bent on cuts to for funding in the NHS with the same old tune that cuts mean improvements?

everything is unfair for you Gayle.. everything is let see and I can see the other side of the story.. there are only two sides when it comes to cuts in benefits and cuts to the NHS..those who want those cuts and those who don't... pick your side or sit on yer fence.

So you seriously think that if Labour win the next election, they won't be forced into cuts by the frightening fiscal deficit that now hangs over this country? Dream on, Mancie, dream on...
