what has labour done for the people of the UK?

Question

I will be fair and give them the minimum wage but aside from that?
well ok the 10% rate but they have taken that away now anyway.
working tax credits i suppose but aside from that? fastest growing G7 economy? ban on fox hunting i suppose but I mean aside from that 2 million less unemployed people then under the tories well yes but aside from that what has labour done?
basically aside from the minimum wage, working tax credits, strong economy with no recesions, independance for the bank of england, devolution for scotland an wales, low unemployment, banning fox hunting, increased spending in health and education and the banning of smoking in pubs and this so called reduction to 20% basic in come tax rate what has labour actually done for the people of the UK?

Answer 1

O.k

1. Council Tax - don't even bring up the Poll Tax - I amongst many others would be paying far less with the Poll tax, and now the council want to walk around my house and see if I have a conservatory and loft conversion to see if I am eligible to pay for more. Apart from that.
2. Tax by Stealth - Gordon Brown has introduced over 50 taxes (very quietly).
3. War monger Blair - he has sent troops to Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afganistan and Iraq, spent Billions on War which nobody felt would benefit this country, yet let Mugabe get away with Murder. Yet while he sends the Troops away, he does not equip them properly.
4. Millions marched against the war, and even more marched against the hunting act - he ignores his voters and refuses to compromise.
5.The NHS - despite the fact that billions have been invested in the NHS, we now face redundancies and ward closures, which to be fair we did under the tories. So if we are facing redundacies and closures where has this money gone? Squandered the lot of it, on worthless image consultants, computers and yet more managers. What a waste of money - your money, my money! The NHS spent over £250 000 on their Christmas do at the. Thats money well spent in my book, especially when they are closing wards and making staff redundant.
6.Education - Instaed of raising the standards they have instead lowered them and then claimed that the state of the Education system is better because more people are passing. What a load of crap. he also makes students pay for their education (which they never did under the Tories) now leaving students thousands in debt when they leave Uni. Well done Labour. Milk snatcher Thatcher. Alot of you people have selective memories. MIlk from kids or leaving millions of students thousands in debt. I would choose milk form kids any day.
7.Scandels - Cash for Peerages, Cash for Passports, Questions for Cash, Mandelson, Two Jags, Livingstone, Ministers looking for gay sex on Clapham common, Tessa Jowell, it goes on and on. Again the Tories do it and then Labour take it off the scale.
8. Business. More Red Tape, more minimum wages. More people are going out of business since the global recession of the 80's.
9. Asylum and Immigration - I konw lets let in anyone, regardless of who they are, whether they have criminal records or not, whether they are NHS tourists and have diseases such as Hepititas, Aids etc..., jobs, housing. Lets not worry whether we have enough housing for them, or infrastructure and how much it is going to pay Mr and Mrs Taxpayer. Forget the 'lets travel to the nearsest country to claim asylum', lets get some organised crime syndicate to exploit us and get us to the U.K.
10. More stabbings, gun crime, re offenders released early to reoffend, lets not even put burglers and drug dealers inside, because they have had an oppressed child hood and deserve a hug. While we are at it, the drug addicts who are in prison - lets give them £2 or £3k because they have had a hard time doing cold turkey.
11.Multi Cultralism- I am not even going there.
12. British born terroists. Speaks for itself.
13.Human rights, lets give those who commit crimes as much rights as those who have been victims of crime.
14. The police. Spend millions on more officers, who get more and more paper work. ASBO's - don't work - these are now a status symbol. What a waste of resouces and money setting them up.
15.George Bush, well done Tony, keeping following him.
16.Big Brother.
17.Broken the family unit up, leaving kids with no respect for elders and each other. Education starts at home.
18. Sold Britian down the river to Europe.
19.Welfare no work. Work harder those on benefits depend on you!!!
20. Civil Servents earning thousands in pensions which are paid for by the public and now the public cannot afford private
pensions because they are paying for the civil servants.
21. Political Correctness.
22. Spent billions on image consultants and quango's to help British services run better and gets zero results. Can you imagine if The rail and gas and electric services were still run by the Government, we would be paying twice as much now.
23. Finally ID cards.
There - that wasn't so hard was it?
That is what Blair has done for the U.K

Blair has had 10 years to improve this Country and he has done nothing but fcuk it up big time. Take your head out of the sand and understand it.
10 years to sort crime out, yet teen gun crime is out of control. the figures speak for themselves.
I really could go on and on.
New Labour is a failure.

Answer 2

I'm sorry Fiddich but MONTY forgot a few.

24. Set up a secret police to interrigate and search the houses of members of christian religious faiths who quote the bible with regards to homosexuality
25. Is in the process of instructing the secret police to catch those that smoke in pubs bars ect and is to spend millions on employing such a force
26. Is employing thousands of property inspectors to enter your home and tax you on improvements you have made on your home and proposing that you will pay tax on the V.A.T
you have already paid Heavy fines are to be imposed on those who refuse or delay the secret inspectors entry
27. Sold half this countries gold reserves at rock bottom price so that international financers could profit from our wealth. A few days latter the price was back up to the correct price
28. Trying to get us into Europe without the British citizens consent and has already signed most of our rights away to the European parliment.
29. Did away with the house of lords without haveing an appropriate proposal for a second house of representatives
30. Sold us on the Idea we must save for our old age and then taxed the pension providers so that many went out of business leaving hundreds of thousands of pensioners without a penny in old age.
31. Waited 10 years before offering compensation so thousands have died in povety and the compensation is capped at about 80% so all pensioners who have made the effot to manage have been left without their rightfull inheritance
32 Sent our soldiers to fight in Iraq without proper equipment and armoured resourses. They had sold all our armoured cars off leaving our army to make do on makeshift vehicles
that have been the cause of many soldiers death's.
33. Lrying about weapons of Mass destruction ect ect and ect
34. Instad of lowering the numbers of those entering this country New Labour extended the numbers from 50000 to 250000 a year, making immogration more of an ethnic cleansing process rather than an intergration policy.

God where do you stop.

As Monty has said the list goes on and on, You are a Tribal Voter ( you have picked a side and will vote for it whatever). Tribal voting is the reason why this country is going down the drain. Politics is not a football competition, when you actually look at what New Labour have done there can only be one conclusion get them out. There is no way that any body could consider voting for these morons again but unfortunately you Tribal voters will.

Answer 3

The worst thing it has done is that it has destroyed our natural optimism and self confidence. We have lost our faith in our political leaders and we have become increasingly cynical and bitter (particularly in England). We seem to have become not only disenfranchised but also dispossessed. Even the good old British sense of humour has been stifled so that life is grim, earnest and politically correct - just like the old Eastern bloc.
