23. You're talking tripe old son.
I'm not surprised that you have "first hand" experience of Labour. Once again I'd like to know exactly what your credentials are but I doubt you'd tell me. (fair enough it's only the net).

I guess you are looking at the situation from afar. I live here. I see day to day the "difference" that Tony has made. It's not much. You want a middleclass? Well I'd say a runaway housing market (pricing people out) and record high levels of personal debt don't look too good do they?

NHS - still not good. PFI hospitals poor value for money.

Transport - Let's invest in rail... Oh! that's not worked let's invest in roads. Oh yeah, PFI roads... With tolls.... Brilliant.

PFI is profoundly undemocratic. When the Tories were doing it, Blair PROMISED not to and he said he'd bring some utilities back into the public domain. Has he? Has he bollocks. We've got more of our services being sold off than ever.

You want Lords reform? Tony changed his mind mid session and effectively scuppered it. Then there's he peers his government appointed. Ever heard of "jobs for the boys"

Tony has done little to nothing to reign in the Monarchy. In fact he seems to enjoy having them around.

Europe - where's the referendum Tony? Oh yes, that's right you lied didn't you?

Just to remind you, you seemed pretty sure that Blair could moderate Bush's behaviour towards Iraq. Well if this is moderated, well done Tony!

Tony has fired the only anti GMO guy in his inner circle? Why, because he's going to sell the U.K out again.

Since you see fit to harangue those of us that disagree with you as "uninformed" I'm going to say the following with no regret. You are suprememely arrogant much like Tony Blair and his inner circle. Just because you believe something to be right does not make it so.Just because you believe something at all does not give you or Tony to bypass democracy to act on it. Furthermore, several times your knowledge of British life / politics has been exposed. I'd suggest if you believe Tony is so bloody good, you come and live over here so you can experience it first hand. Alternatively you could stop patronising those of us that do in fact live here, do in fact have a hand in British politics and do in fact know what they are talking about because it is happening to them.
