Uberblogger Old Holborn has asked for a list of things Labour got wrong over the last 13 years.
It is only fair, in my humble opinion, to counter-balance Holby's list with one that showcases their successes.
Here it is:
1.
It took me quite a while to come up with that list. I hope you appreciate the efforts that your unbending author puts in.
CR.
Being fair, you missed out this one:
ReplyDeleteI'll give them the Freedom of Information Act. Christ knows what the hell they were thinking when they pushed that through but you can be goddamned sure they wouldn't have if they'd actually thought about the good it would do.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, he did get one thing right. He has put an end to boom and bust. From now on, there'll be no more boom, just bust.
ReplyDeleteThey abolished Boom and Bust, introduced fairness for all, and did things for the many and not the few. They demonetrised gold, reduced the bloated size of pension funds, remodelled statistical analysis, and made unemployment invisible in a fog of state jobs, benefits for all raised school age, and Guardian type non-jobs. They increased the proportion of socialist voters by importing huge numbers of foreign socialists, maintaining disproportionate representation of Scots, abolishing England, and handing postal votes on an astronomical level to be completed by tribal immigrant chiefs.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! These were some of their successes. There were others, such as making "Education, Education, Education" one of the funniest phrases in the English language. And the successful conversion of our police force into an arm of the government. They neatly avoided cleaning up the criminal political class after the exposure of the enormous corruption at all levels. They have worked very very hard to achieve so much. They even co-opted the BBC, and fixed more inquiries and investigations than you could shake a stick at.
Gold star to that last comment.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll vote for them.
Criminalizing the over 60s - well done.
ReplyDeleteI think you give them more credit than they deserve.
ReplyDeleteMy friends tell me that I am overly generous Chuckles.
ReplyDeleteIt's a curse....
CR.
That's 1. more than I could think of, CR - well done.
