    Doesn’t surprise me at all… No political party is interested in real change and redistribution of wealth or equality of opportunity.

    Is it because poor people are lazy and smell?

    I was quite convinced there for a minute. At least it made the economics simple for once, no complicated socio-economic factors, just the fact they smell of wee….

    Well the Tories, New Labour, and the LibDems aren’t, but you wouldn’t expect them to be, would you ?

    The Labour Party once had a firm policy of “fundamental and irreversible shift in the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people and their families” but that was ditched when right-wing extremists seized power and embraced policies more appealing to Rupert Murdoch.

    Also when they found not enough people would vote for them pitching that policy, so I guess the blame lies with the voting population of the UK too.

    Fraser Nelson is one of my heros. Not to everyone’s liking, certainly not those on the left.
    But he does try and take care to study the numbers first.

    He did an article in this weeks spectator covering the program ^ does it work for you guys? If not I can copy&paste the text.
