New labour in a nutshell
sucked up to bankers, deregulated, allowed enormous takeover to create super banks, lowered their taxes and oversaw the total collapse of the banking industry
Allowed ahousing bubble at the same time where housing doubled trebled in value in a their 13 yrs, with banks offering enormous unpayable mortgages at 5 times people incomes, then the housing bubble collapsed and everyone was left in negative equity, cue housing crash
allowed the benefits system to grow out of control, not to help the real disabled and sick and eldery , but to help the workshy, the drug pushers and the workless breed for benefits culture
drugs grew out of control in this workless environment
end result the welfare expenses grew out of control
nhs. fair enough pumped in a few extra billion. but middle management, burocracy, waste of human resources and equipment under utilised, mismanagement, endless cover ups with abuses, patients starved to death, huge weekend mortality rates dirtiest hospitals in Europe with mrsa 70 times higher than Sweden etc but according to new labour were not allowed to talk about it let alone do anything, just in case it upsets the doctors and nurses happiness
banned freedom of speech
destroyed the police force with endless new petty politically correct laws and red tape and regulations and legal jargon that made their jobs unbearable and ineffective
oversaw the biggest immigration and population rise in history
started illegal wars, on a pack of lies, creating even more terrorism
oversaw the collapse of the Christian churches, duly turned into mosques
lost a few billion on vanity projects like the millennium dome
sold us out to Europe and their insane 70,000 400 page EU constitution, gifted back our annual 4 billion pound EU rebate and got nothing in return
failed to build social housing
turned the tax system upside so that the working poor ended up paying a higher proportion in tax
invented spin doctors and brought them into the cabinet to make policy.
ostracised all over labour as dinosaurs
did less than nothing for any of our industries? coal forget it, steel record job losses, energy costs through the roof, did nothing to reverse any of the privatised sectors?
abuses and cover ups in care homes, retirement and nursing homes, nhs wards
councillors bosses wages through the roof, quarter of a million a year, massive wage increases for nhs bosses and administrators, etc etc
oh but weakened the rold of the ombudsmen to deal with complainants.
end result bankruptcy
so after leaving the country on the brink of bankruptcy having forsaken almost all of our sovereignty....they now want to preach to us about how to run the economy, the nhs, the housing, the police, the wars?
the tories are a scary seflsih bunch, but that's to be expected, new labour were worse. they were the wolves in sheeps clothing. who would do anything simply to win power.
oh but on the plus side, they sort of banned fox hunting....bravo
