I just hate the way New Labour consistently claim that those who oppose their spending plans must, by definition, oppose ANY spending targeted at those areas. It's perfectly possible to disagree with, say, a specific plan aimed at the elderly simply because you feel there are better, more effective means by which to achieve the same ends.
On the subject of immigration Brown and his cronies have been banging on for years about how it was the Tories who abolished exit controls and that's what has led to so much chaos. What they don't say, however, is that the Tories abolished exit controls for EU citizens in 1994 and New Labour did the same in respect of NON EU citizens (i.e. the rest of the world) in 1998! Selective amnesia??

Even Chris Huhne seems to agree:

But we won't let facts get in the way of the argument will we?
