    History will not be kind to Blair and the New Labour regime, & Brown is just the dying embers of a busted Government.

    I suspect the people will just carry on regardless as long as there's footy on the telly and a new page 3 girl everyday rather than hold the perpetrators who have bought his country to its knees accountable
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      So why did you lot let them remain in power for so long?

      I told everyone that they were a load of frackers in '97 and it would all end in tears, but you wouldn't listen. So I fracked off out of it in 2001 and only come back to take advantage of 'free' health care (I've paid enough in the past, now I'm collecting).

      You've only got yourselves to blame. You've had plenty of chances to get rid of them.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          In a perverse way I wouldn't lose sleep over Labour staying in power, even if propper up by Libdems, in the sense that I will gain a lot of pleasure seeing the Labour politicians take the full brunt of the public protest about the cuts they have to make because THEY messed up the economy.

            How can we give a genuine answer to this when we only know the governements in our memory and even that is scratchy going back to the last change of power. Sounds more like a witch hunt to me.

              There's been at least one Union leader who says they're the worst government he can remember.

                  well, you could read a book
                  but you do make a very good point. I am fed up of people on the radio saying "Is this going to be like 79 or 92?" because even our professional pundits are too small minded to consider whether it might be more like 1857 or 1931.
