trouble is in all of these things you are trying to paint labour white lib dem black all the time.
So you shout Liar at John Leech.
Whilst ignoring blatant untruths from your own side.
I repeat. I have no experience whatsoever of john leech lying.
But I DO have experience of Labour lying at a national level and arrogance at local level. At local level we had masses of experience of JL fighting our corner tirelessly as a councillor, when no labour , or tory, or green , local politician ever bothered to show up. So he got our vote. And will get it next time. He earned it.
I'm glad people benefit from the minimum wage. But even if the principle is is sound, Labour still screwed it up for fear of upsetting right wing interests. The argument about it costing jobs is PRECISELY what Labour uses to prevent it rising to a dignified level (I've seen it on this website - Alan said it). And it's bollocks. If the minimum wage was £10 an hour, jobs wouldn't disappear. Do you think Mcdonalds would close up and move? Of course not. Some jobs might go, but they'd be replaced by others because of increased disposable income. Employers would moan and then accept the reality and pay up. Trust me on that - I employ people. I think the minimum wage is a brilliant idea.
As for NHS, come on, mate! Who invented bloody PFIs? Who's mortgaging the NHS up to the hilt to private fincance companies for years to come? Who thinks it's perfectly moral to see Health Authorities deprive people of services if they can't "balance" their books, as if they were retail stores? Who's hiving off internal delivery services to DHL? Who's bringing in private healthcare companies to run GP surgeries? Who's bringing in the profit motive? Who's telling the working class mums in Salford they'll have to go 30 miles away from home to have their babies because it's more "cost effective" (sod the social consequences for the mum's family)? Who's just announced that post operative patients will have to see their GP instead of the consultant because it only costs £30 instead of £90 a visit and is not "cost-effective" (just pray the GP has specialist knowledge, eh. In your dreams pal)?
I fail to see why a Labour government should try and turn it into some kind of factory.
