Oh, I wonder who killed all the industry in the country and reduced us to a call centre and office economy. Wasn't socialists, as I remember. Nor was it socialists who privatisted the transportation system and made it rubbish in the first place.
what does the government expect? Enterprise is discouraged, the politically correct nanny government has instilled the belief into everyone that they can do anything without working for it (well done for pointing this out Prince Charles).
Again, it wasn't the socialists that made five million people employed just to keep down inflation, and actually begin the way of life which we now know as "living off the social" which has become so endemic and symptomatic as the modern British way of life. Oh, which has been directly linked with the growth of the drinking culture. I'm just glad they didn't reduce us back to the days of gin halls and people dying in the streets like the old conservatives did.
In fact, you have to work hard for things - but this doesn't sit well with the socialist government's idea of equality of attainment instead of equality of opportunity, so we all suffer - we're all at the lowest common demoninator.
And once again, it wasn't the socialists who wanted to create a widely seperate middle class and force everyone else to be the lowest common denominator.
Smithy, you're blaming the wrong people. These are all symptoms of two decades of destructive conservative rule. Not only do socialists always seem to get blamed for these things, they get blamed even more when they try to stamp down on them. Tighten benefits or restricting binge drinking and its the same people who cry "fascist" as who caused the damn problems in the first place. No wonder conservatives are a joke in Britain now.
