Replace distain for a stronger word then. The point remains the same.

...because of the global economic slowdown caused by the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the US. Or was that Labours fault too?

Well said, pretty much how I see it too.

That's very good advice. Trident is THE issue for me. Closely followed by the NHS. I feel let down by all three major parties on both of these issues bar the Conservatives who are strong on defence.

You have judged him, there's a difference. To Buzzer's point, yes I agree. But you still need distance and objectivity to get the whole picture - and that takes time - it's an ongoing process. Historians still change their opinion on historical figures and opinions come in and out of fashion...

Won't vote Labour. Corbyn's policies are uncosted and his stance on Trident makes him unelectable to him. Also, the idea of Dianne Abbot as Home Secretary is one of the most harrowing thoughts I could imagine. Wont vote Conservative. I agree with Blair that May is a lightweight and I think her...
