The Labour party is, in my estimation, the old tory party in a new expensive coat(paid for by us mugs).

it always used to be the case, n yer last sentence sums things up very well. the only bit missed out IMHO is that labour had to change to become electable. ( due to a society changed by 3 terms of Thatcher), sadly they had to forgo socialism. n that for me is why we are where we are today.
