Hugh......
I would NEVER suggest that NEW-Labour did NOT do the things you are talking about, but as New-Labour are NOT a Socialist party, ( in fact the word "socialist" is the one word that must not be spoken in Blair's New-Labour regime ), I have to point out, against wrongly-imagined ideas, that the Tories are good for the ordinary working man/woman.
They are patently NOT as that level of society is just not in the wish-list of any right-wing politicians.
For all of my 66 years I have been watching which political bent cares about the British working man/woman and I can tell you now that over these years it was never the Tories. They only look after themselves and their own and we should not consider any other way of thinking.
Blair talked of the "British classless society" and he was wrong too !
Anybody that does listen to Tory propaganda is being caught in the Tory trap and is being naively sold down the river.
