I don't want to live in the past. There are Labour policies which I disagree with, such as specifically banning certain commonwealth nations from coming to this country. However, I can't say that if I was 18 in 1997 that I would suddenly decide not to vote for Labour because of something they did in the 60's.
Claytonender I guess this is our difference, this is what makes you Labour and me a Conservative. You have got to have wealth to be able to distribute to the needy. You just believe that we should distribute, the wealth will slowly dwindle and everyone would be worse off. I couldn't live with that.
