Iraq, sorry but for me at least my hatred and anger against Saddam Hussein and Baath Party rule in Iraq meant I supported the government and parliament's decision, he had to go sooner or later, as it was it was sooner and good ridance. Anyway old ground and events in Iraq have now changed for the better. Only wish for more positive action against mugabe and his gangsters now.
Not suggesting Hussein is a nice kinda guy bit it's the whole false premise and disregard for international law, and disregard for Parliament and us, that got me. And making us a bigger terrorist target for not taking into account the wider Middle Eastern picture.

PFI, again sorry but I think there is no room for old fashioned left extremist dogma, screaming Trots & SWPers hate it: too bad. The private sector needs to be involved in reconstruction its good for them and for all.
PFI looks to have been, and continues to be a costly disaster. And one that only has occurred because of a failure to get a grip of the taxation system. Not a Trot by the way

Foundation hospitals let's see the jury is still out on that,
Very much so!

there is also room for the private sector in education, selective education yes we need to have a shake up, we should invest in the best, again there is no room for dogma.
The proposals for separation of vocational and non-vocational candidates is a cause for concern.

Tax credits? What's the problem?
It's a nightmare of paperwork and reapplication. They've only done it because they think it's politically unacceptable to sort the Income Tax regime out.





Hey, this is like the factionalised 1980s again!! Only messing... I'm on your side, basically
