I'd say 10 of the last 12yrs have been steady until the world wide economic slump...and in comparison to the Thatcher years they have been good.. to be frank Jaysay your memory of the last Tory Government seems a bit blurred... 17% interest rates, 15% mortgage rates.. the active slaughter of UK industries in a quest to smash unions..hundereds of patients on trollies in hospitals coridoors because of cuts in funding.. riots on a regular basis...14% national unemployment rising to 25-30% in Wales and the north.
If you think (in your own words) that EVERYBODY has been screwed to the floor under Labour I reckon not... maybe the EVERYBODY you talk of are the high wage earners that don't like the idea of paying tax for services in this country..and that would be no surprise from a life long Tory supporter.
