Ahhhh - doesn't augur well for many members of the Labour Party then, does it?
How is Alistair Darling, btw? Wasn't he the Chancellor who

Re: Is "Dave" on his way to doing a Kinnock '92-More Tory "mistakes."
You have to love the desperation coming from labour supporters right now and the complete amnesia they are suffering in relation to their beloved party over the last twelve years. Now all you have to do is get them to tell you the secret of that amnesia and affect the whole country and maybe they stand more then a snowballs chance in hell. Sorry we cannot be rid of brown and his ilk fast enough for me and even if that means having the torys so be it so long as labour bite the big one for everything they have done to wreck this country since they got power.

Its getting close to that time when we watch most of the labour Mp's stand on that stage in the town halls and realise they have been voted OUT

Perhaps you are too young to remember "Sunny Jim" Callaghan, who was Home & Foreign Secretary, Chancellor and finally Prime Minister. He beggared up everything he touched - for example, he managed to get inflation above 25%, and was responsible for the Winter of Discontent - even though he famously invited trade union leaders to number 10 for beer and sandwiches.

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
I need a hero
I’m holding on for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding on for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life (larger than life)

On 22 January [1979] the public sector unions held a "Day of Action", in which they held a 24-hour strike and marched to demand a £60 per week minimum wage. This was the biggest individual day of strike action since the general strike of 1926, and many workers stayed out indefinitely after that day.

The unions were, in effect, running the show. Mrs T put an end to that.

Flyboy - I know you have a hard time accepting you're wrong but please don't confuse my utter contempt for New Labour's inept cronies as a blind endorsement of everything 'Blue'. My priority really is getting Brown them out of power and if that means a Tory government so be it. However, that doesn't mean I admire or even like Osbourne, in fact I happen to think he won't last as Chancellor if he ever makes it that far. Even so he's still preferable to current incumbent and his party. Anyway, if you can show me a single post here in which I've praised Osbourne's skills as a potential Chancellor (or anything else for that matter) I'll donate £50 to charity. How about you do the same when you're proved wrong and have to eat your words?...

Hey what you have here is Flyboy hoping that if he says the Tories are buggered enough then you will start to believe it and then it will come true

And the Unions £9 million contribution to the Labour Party every year - they do this out of the goodness of their hearts, I suppose.
