And you expect everyone to forgive and let your Eton bum chums get power?

Who's fault was that? The NUM (the elite at the top of course, not the hard workers) who didn't care about the countries interest and inflation when demanding higher wages. It was Wilson that started the ball rolling on cutting free milk. It's handy to ignore that under this government we have the fastest rising unemployment. The fact is that every single Labour government in history has left office with unemployment higher than when they went in. They might pretend to be for the workers, but they can't back it up with economic competence.

It said there were deficiencies at "virtually every stage" of emergency care and said managers pursued targets at the detriment of patient care.

I can't pretend that Thatcher did everything right. She did do a lot for this country given the circumstances she inherited. Which is more can be said for this lot, who inherited one of the best foundations any incoming government has. The question is; given this inheritance and 12 years of office, why has Labour squandered their chances to fix things that still needed fixing?
