I think I have a right (or a left) to be confused.......

When exactly was the last Labour government then?......

Presumably the Tories are always in charge so can always be blamed.....

Stalin was a Tory after all!!......

There hasn't been an extreme right wing or left wing in this country since Thatcher. They are all just squabbling over the middle ground.

Which makes it even sillier the way that they do politics here where no matter what the opposition does they are wrong. Not because you can really find any fault with what they've done, but just because they are the opposition. It's more like two gangs in the school playground than serious politics

Just so.

There are only two governments of the last century that I respect - the two great reforming governments of 1906 and 1945. I would also give grateful thanks for the Coalition Government that saw us through WWII - without which, a lot of us might not be here!
All the best
