      They've improved inflation, up to 4.4% I believe.

      Oh, hang on ...

        They've improved the electability of The Conservatives.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          Did you see Mock The Week on TV recently? Photo of Blair + Brown, caption converted to initials, guess the caption. It was "B.M.C.B". One guest suggested "Blair Might Come Back". Audience reaction was immediately and overwhelmingly, well, not 100% sympathetic.

            Brown gave us an end to boom and bust. At least he would have done if it wasn't for the global economy

              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                You forgot 'Making the world a safer place'.

                  The main improvement has been the proliferation of "Starbucks Coffee" shops to get our quick fix to try and make us forget about the drugedgy of it all.

                  Apart from that still the same olde tulip:

                  * bad transport

                  * education in decline

                  * benefits system spiralling out of control

                  * sleep walking into a CCTV big brother state with increased personal
                  interference by the government.

                  * No job security in an 'open economy' which strangely seems to allow any
                  Tom, Dick or Harry from the World come in and fill jobs (even America
                  protects their own labour market).

                  * Crime on the increase especially juvenille crime / gun crime.

                    Since Labour came to power:

                    Rise in Child poverty
                    Rail service is a disaster
                    Education is failing
                    Inequality has increased
                    Standards of living have fallen and poverty gap increased
                    Pensioners are Worse off
                    Council taxes rocket poverty
                    NHS and medical treatment has deteriorated, 3000 beds lost
                    Confusion is a natural state of being
