Since the 70's? Yeah I think we've come a long way since the 70's.

keep blaming everything that goes wrong on 'lefties' from decades ago, as some would say it's 'pathetic'

Absolute bollocks. We all know the ultimate fallback position, for anything, is that it's "Thatchers" fault. Nobody blames the lefties for anything because Mrs T sorted it all out. We just don't to go back there.

Labour may not have won the election but they've dealt the Govt. a fatal blow;

I won't disagree there, Tories are on self destruct and Labour still can't take advantage.

The young are now engaged and voting, and the middle class are beginning to see the light.
(why is this forum coloured blue btw? )

The young like free stuff.
