Find me an economist and show them the economy Blair inherited and i'll eat my hat if they say it was a weak platform.

She turned us in to a majority service sector which is where the money is, not with manufacturing that can be done much cheaper in countries such as China. 3 million unemployed? If it was up to you we'd still have the mines, we'd be losing money by the day mining expensive coal which we could import much cheaper, and we'd have 3million wasteful jobs rather than ones creating prosperity.
