Fact, and you can't argue with those, no matter how woefully you try.  |
I haven't. what I have argued against is your statement that no future Tory goverment would have introduced it. you simply can't say either way.
You are not party to the discussion or internal politics that would or could have taken place. Once somthing is formed who can ever say that if it hadn't at that point then it would never have existed at all.
You are free to castigate all Tory ( and Labour goverments equally!) up to that point but nothing after.
