There is not an honest Tory face amongst the entire lot of them, they were all lined up for the manifesto today and it looked like a Crimewatch rogues gallery.Michael Gove on C4 news right now. He might be worse than both. Makes my skin crawl.
They absolutely screwed the country forever more, you can not fail to turn a profit selling necessary services to the general public.
They just done the same with Royal Mail, Royal mail was fine, I spend upto £200 a week with them, I know the state of their services, they were fine, best value, great reliable delivery services.
But the Tory's told us they needed massive investment to compete with other couriers and had to be sold, utter utter bullshit and they got away with it again.
When it was sold it was turning a profit of nearly half a billion a year.
honest
I just think Labour and the Lib Dems will always come from a fairer place for the majority.I would level that pretty much every front line MP mate. Tories do not hold a monopoly on that.
I would except Andy Burnham from that list though. And John Smith when he was around.
Are you really for it, @Bruce Wayne?

As Osborne said to Alexander when he was against the tax cut for the millionares "You look after the workers, and we'll look after the bosses" was Osbornes stereotypical Tory standpoint.
Just been reading about the proposed 5 year freeze on rail fares, on the surface it sounds great but economically it doesn't stack up. Price freezes you can get away with for 2 years tops but not for 5 years.
Ultimately it will mean those working in the rail industry will face pay freezes, cutbacks and probably job losses. It will be interesting to see how it impacts the upcoming Northern/ First new franchises, I can't see a incoming company agreeing to a 5 year freeze on prices whilst also committing to providing new trains. The industry is already heavily subsidised, this policy will see the costs sky rocket further.
only problem with that is the housing associations use there housing and land stock as collateral for loans to build new houses, if you let them sell off the housing stock they have less collateral so build less, how does that help with the lack of housing.As soon as Thatcher sold them off she cancelled all council house building straight away - We are still 1.5 million short of council houses the Tories are also stating to fund the the housing association right to buy house by selling 15 0000 Council houses - what happened to the big society ??? If you are waiting on the council house list tough luck!
