@ George2 So you don’t think Gordon Brown should be visiting the troops in Afghanistan? Our troops are engaged in a vital operation which could make or break the conflict, and you think the PM should keep out of it? If he doesn’t go, he is an unsupportive PM, if he goes, it is cynical. The guy can’t win.
@ Hoppy If we really had a ‘destroyed economy’, would we not all be begging on the street, or looting shops rather than sat in our comfy homes tapping away on our laptops? Looking at the situation with a little less hysteria, would reveal that the UK is undergoing an economical downturn, in common with all other Western societies. Fancy that. How dare the government not have made us uniquely immune from the global downturn.
If you are born poor, often you do stay poor, and that is the nature of capitalism. The question is, which policies help even out opportunities. I can only speak for my own situation. Surestart is a Labour programme, which has directly helped my family enabling single parents to work, one of many reasons why I vote Labour. I suppose this is one of the things you hold responsible for ‘destroying the economy’.
