Too much is made of the economic crisis when used to criticise New Labours 97-2010 term of office, certainly it was a major factor but my overriding memory of that time was the country becoming virtually lawless with a succession of useless Home Secretaries.
Anti social behaviour and ASBO’s became the norm ,radical preachers could spout their venom freely in the road outside Finsbury Park mosque.
In addition we in London had to suffer the Jew hating IRA sympathiser Ken Livingston as London Mayor. As a result our Borough never saw a policeman presumably because we had voted conservative for decades so it was our punishment.
Blair also installed a puppet Met Police Commissioner sharing ironically the same surname.
He was useless.
Fast forward a few years to the present day and the police are magically back on the streets again, the phrase ‘feral youth’ hasn’t been heard for around 5 years and we have a decent proactive Met Police commissioner in Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe.
‘Hook handed mullahs ‘ are no longer tolerated preaching in the road anymore.
And national security is again taken seriously instead of being swept under the carpet in case we upset certain sections of the community.
Plus the flags are out again!
Oh by the way and I forgot to tell you about how I was taxed heavily despite being a low earner below the national average wage?
And when the Coalition arrived I enjoyed 3 tax breaks one instigated by the Lib Dem side of the coalition.
Sorry to offend anyone but I’m not really enthused about being taxed by the likes of Brown and co to pay for LGBT outreach centres and other lefty vanity projects (besides that section of society are looked after very well already and even get a nice congestion inducing march through Londons West End…….I digress)
Please remember that New Labour were responsible for a lot more buffoonery than their handling of the economy.
