The reshuffle, thought to have been deftly managed by Sue Gray, made a shadow cabinet heavy with stalwarts from the Blair-Brown era
I don’t know about other people but I really was hoping for more than a sequel to the Blair years. I mean I get they need experience but the Tories are on the ropes, the Centrists in the party have had 13 years to come up with new ideas…
Rather we accrued debt for that than water company dividends.
Does it have to be either or?
It shouldn’t be, no. But it looks like we either get to choose between this (gestures broadly) or revenge of the Blair years, so I suppose it does.
If you’re asking specifically about financing, then no it doesn’t. I believe our economy has shifted way too far over to the free market side since Thatcher and we need to undo what she did so we can have a common sense mixed economy. The landscape would be so different in this situation that PFI wouldn’t be feasible, let alone necessary. In the current landscape, or as it was in the Blair years, I don’t think I can propose a better way to pay, though I’m sure there was one.
I see what you were getting at, yeah I would take Blair over (gestures with wanker hands) this here.
Still though, I will hate that man until I die, he is a traitor, a war criminal and I blame him and all his wasted potential for this pile of shit we have now.
I tell you what, with PFI I’d just cancel all that shit and write a law making it legal, fuck being screwed over forever. There again, I probably don’t have the mates in finance that all these pricks do.
Fully agree
