Labour winning the General Election in '97 seemed as radical as the Russian Revolution.
Growing up under Thatcherism was akin to living in Imperial Russia. Their divine right to rule seemed as if it would go on forever.
Change seemed needed, and it was all very exciting and hopeful.
Ultimately it all became as grey, bland, and corrupt as the U.S.S.R. in the forties under Stalin.
It was just an exchange of an imperial autocrat for a egotistical despot.
I expect greed and selfishness of the Tories, it's all the more disappointing when supposedly socialists show the same traits.
Sadly, for many, power seems to corrupt.
The final nail in New Labour's coffin was Brown saying this, about an ordinary, working class woman...
