I am always insulting the USA and not seeing the flaws of my own country, so i have decided to change this.

I hate the LABOUR GOVERNMENT. You here Tony Blair talking and making promises does he keep them NO. I think that all the British people should in this community should write angry letters to Blair telling him how the young people think about his turn coat ideals. Or at least not vote for him when they are eligible.

The list of his failings: -

1. the education service in this country is collapsing. Just look at the AS level system. Its shit, i can speak from experience here because im doing them. Also the whole university situation. It is unacceptable for young people with no money to be forced into having Debts up to 40,000 pounds. How will people be able to go to Uni only the richest will be able to afford it.

2. The health service, i like the NHS free health care is necessary. But the Gov say they cant afford to keep it going and have high quality service. Well Tax the RICH more then. Then it will be affordable with no waiting lists.

3. Public Transport, to get to the village i live in i have to wait for a bus for two hours and then im still lucky if it even terns up. Then the go have the cheek to tell us that we should use more Public transport to reduce traffic congestion. I ask WHAT BLOODY PUBLIC TRANSPORT. The Trains are Shit and the busses don’t run.

4. The War In Iraq, i actually support this war but not its motives. I believe that the humanitarian problems in Iraq should be the sole reason for invasion. Saddam is a vicious dictator who has many of the characteristics of HITLER. However i will not support a war just so we can steal their OIL.
But also the labour government has some major financial problems and wants to tax the people more even though thay plan to wage a very expensive war. Where does this money come from i asked my self then it was all clear, the PUBLIC'S pockets.

5. The agricultural crisis. Instead of supporting farmers by buying their products, the labour gov removes all tariffs from the foreign food imports. How does having a free market help the Farmers and all other farming related Industries, which are a major employer in this country. All a free market does is promote cheep labour and oppression in other countries. Why do that when Britain can pay for it, it's not as though were a poor nation.

6. At the beginning of Tony Blairs second term in office he promised that no longer would Britain take a Liase Faire attitude to the humanitarian crisis in Africa. He said if a large famine threatens the continent then Britain would step in and try to help. But this year and last year Zimbabwe began was known to soon have one of the biggest famine in Human History. Did Britain step in and remove Mugabi and relieve the problems the country faced. NO. So now it is estimated that next summer over 8 million people will die because the countries farms cannot support the population.

7. The Firemen/women. I think it is appalling the way we treat one of the finest set of people in are nation. I personally know a fireman . He gets paid 23,000 a year. If his wife did not earn a large wage then he told me that his family would not be able to support it's self. Personally i believe that they risk their lives for people and the only money they would be an insult to any policeman. The lest we can do is pay them a decent wage. But Blair’s government is saying sorry you cant have any more money. Well i hope his house burns down when they are on strike. Then see if he recons they shouldn’t have a pay rise then. Only in this country could we ever alienate such a great group of people.

Thanks for your time.

I presume you are not doing any of the English's at AS then...

Yes, well its the nature of "new labour". Its what they got elected on, so will carry on with it. In away, they have a mandate.

I'd hardly call old Tony a turn coat though, it implies that he was at one stage a socialist or something!

I am sure that if Blair was as horrible as you describe, Parliament would move for a vote of no confidence. Since his record is pretty decent, and this would require Parliament dissolve, and new elections be held, there exists no significant reason to question the ability of the current government to function.

I would be willing to bet that most people respect Tony Blair, even though he is a psuedo-socialist. Sorry, but to me he looks like a pragmatic politician who is holding true to the precise promises he did make during the elections. It was the LD's that forced the Labour Party to become "New Labour" by demonstrating that "Old Labour" had gone to far left of center. Perhaps they overcompensated and they will be held accountable next time elections are held, but one could hardly conclude that "New Labours" policies are incompetent.

Deregulation is a good thing. He is right in assuming that quality will suffer in the health services if the current national plan persists. Finally, and most impotantly, he understands what Churchhill said when he expressed the need for Britain to remain allied with the U.S.. Tony Blair is an excellent politician, truly skilled at his art. Many compare him to Bill Clinton, but I think that comparison is largely false, with exception with respect to the perception of moving his party to the center. Tony Blair remains a man of principle, where as Clinton is not.

actually, they were being right wing, but not right wing enough to make an impression. Really, they came into power by default.

Thatcher destroyed all opposition within her party, leaving no decent leadership material after she had to leave. Which resulted in Major, and shakey control. It was only a matter of time that the public got fed up with a leaderless tory party.

And there is trouble within Pmt, labour back benchers are beomcing more and more hostile, as are other backbenchers. Tony has lost the control he once had.

And his role with the US, is purely a bridge between Europe and the U$A.

Your understanding of both British democracy and our Parliament is clearly quite low. Blair is the only strong character within Labour, apart from Chancellor Brown, and the two are having a constant battle for power. The Tory party is in a horrific state, and the Lib Dems are still too small to really make an impact. In effect, Blair's opposition is non-existent.

This is guerrillaradio in a Key Skills lesson btw

Did you see Bremner Bird & Fortune last night? The first part with Tony Blair reading the auto-cue was a classic.

I agree, New Labour is not doing any good for the UK. But ironically, with the Conservatives doing so bad, its likely Labour will move even further right, too stop to many conservatives going to the BNP.

MOLOCH here, New Labour is a complete pile of tosh, New Labour has failed the poor and they are turning to right wing bastards liek the BNP. Im sick and tired of these right-wing infiltrators to the party, we need to crush them, before they let the BNP crush us.

It does look like Britain want to copy the US, with a right and further right only with us it will be Labour and Tory instead of Democrat and Republican.

I think our best bet (at the moment) is with the Lib Dems. If enough people thought they had a chance of winning then they'd vote for them. They have so many potential voters but theri voice gets drowned out because the potential voters don't realise how many of them there are (if that makes sense).
