Whether anyone listens at Britcliffe HQ is another matter, it'll all probably be due to 13 years of Labour rule when the chips are down.
since 1979 when i was learning about goverments its the same old boom and bust then blame everybody else bar themselves... do you not think the time has come to have 2 goverment parties 1 for the working class and 1 for middle and upper??? i am not educated enough yet to fully understand the ramifications(spellcheck) off this... but in my 31 years off contributing to the treasury its the same old rhetoric year on year...
