Re: We have been here before...sadly

I have just been reading many of the posts in this thread and was amazed and dismayed at some of the serious comments that have come out of it.

First, The Conservatives are not an anti worker party nor did their goverments lead to the social unrest of the mid eighties.

Second, the present government which claims to be socialist is anything but. I also believe that many Labour supporter's are also disappointed with this government and only voted to keep it in power becasue they considered it thes lesser of two evils!

Third, this government has seen a huge rise in social injustice through high tax high spending and unfair regulation and removal of the so called freedoms of the populace than any other post war government.

If you think that this government has benefitted the so called ordinary working class any more than the conservatives then you are seriously decieved. If anything the gap between the have and the have nots has been widend considerably. Not least due to the fact that it is now harder for people of an ordinary finanicial background to get into higher education (even with the so called student loan). Many 18-21 year olds will not got to universty as a result and fear of the hudge debt they will have to begin their adult lives with. Do we call this social justice for the working class?

As for restricting the movements of people who wish to enter Iraq or any other dangerous region in orded to help those less fortunate than ourselves! Well exactly what the hell kind of a solution to the worlds problems is that?

It sounds to me like some people here would like to have a simlliar regeme to the one that has just been removed in Iraq!
