I remember seeing 'live' TV pictures as a young sprog then reading a book called 'No Bugles No Drums' (Charles Durden) and becoming interested in the war.

You make an interesting point Stephen, but I fully accept that Labour didn't cause the banking crash, nor would the Conservatives have by lightening the regulation even further. It was Labours overspending that meant we didn't have the reserves to handle the ensuing problems. Banks weren't capitalised sufficiently, and I don't think that Conservtives advocated loosening that aspect, they wanted more mortgage lending to stimulate the housing market, which pushed up house prices. Like labour they were to stupid too realise that more houses needed building, not growth in the house prices, but higher house prices brought in more stamp duty, and that's what they were both aiming for.
It's not what happens on a governments watch that is critical, (as Noesall tries to claim) it's not having a robust system in place to compe with any problems that come along that was the issue. Remember Browns continuing mantra of the end of boom and bust, and yet that's what he presided over, and I think a little, what he helped cause.

The Tories lost more than they gained during the last election. Pitiful campaign and a (so far) horrendous first few months. When is the train crash ever going to stop?
Poor old Tories.

He obviously got Diane Abbot to count up the number of seats wonNoseall you and comrade corbyn need to take Lyndon johnsons advice it's very simple
"The 1st rule of politics is the ability to count"
To be fair, the NHS was actually imagined by William Beveridge who was a Liberal. So saying it exists and stays in existence because of the Labour Party isn't factually correct. They're not the sole reason and don't have ownership of it.
Maybe, but the Tories would not have introduced it and the Liberals did not become the Government.
The Tories would love to get rid of it - but dare not - so they will try to do something else with the same effect.
Ergo ...

I'm not sure everyone within the Tory party can be trusted with it, but I'm not sure i'd agree with them wanting to get rid of it. Got some good friends and family who love the NHS and vote Tory. That problem seems like a contradiction in terms to many
but, the point remains. Think it's wrong for Labour to claim ownership of the institution. But, maybe only the left will protect it in its current form...

This was what the Labour Party was like in 2010 but what is it like now?
