Labour were hijacked by wannabe Tories and re-branded New Labour.
So we got lots of things the Tories would have done, like wars, lack of investment in the NHS, semi privatising schools (Academies), lack of investment in infrastructure, encouraged any old fool to go to University, gave more power to the financial institutes, kept the C.B.I happy for the most part, created more tax dodgers, sold the Gold, didn't sign up to the Euro, robbed the pension pots, and created David Cameron.

Tories given us since 2010? Maybe I'll start a Thread on it?
18 years of a conservative government.

I certainly don't remember food banks back then or high streets full up with bookies and pound shops. Generally a more affluent time in general. I was in my late teens and enjoying life at the time so maybe I look back with rose tinted glasses, but things seemed a lot better during those early years after 18 years of a conservative government.

The Blair fashioned New Labour Party, or more accurately the red Tory party, were about as true to the roots of Labour values, as Margret "arch mistress of hell" Thatcher was.
Examining the parties record during that period, will avail us of nothing of import other than a stark contrast with the policies and direction of the party under its current leadership.

Old labour did a hell of a lot to modenzie the UK. Even myself being somewhat on the right I can appreciate there contributions.
New labour? No idea why any one can still support that travesty.
