BTW way are all those rose tinted, dyed in the wool, New Labour apologists when you really need them for a damned good laugh??....
I'd have thought they'd at least want to comment on how their beloved party has brought us to a situation in which (if they win the election) they admit they're going to have to wield the axe more than Thatcher did (again as a result of Labour 'management of the economy'). They've spent years berating her for having to put right their wrongs but I don't expect them to be short on excuses for their own failings and any cuts they're forced to make.
