Re: Conservatives.
Quite Julie if Cameron and the Toerags get back in the big question is will there be enough foodbanks and will they be able to cope?And yes you are right the problems the Labour Government encountered originated in the USA subprime mortgage market with the likes of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mac.

Re: Conservatives.
Having experienced several terms of office of both major parties, I think a clear pattern emerges - under the Tories the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. And when I say the poor, that encompasses about 98% of the population. This last lot, with no proper mandate to govern, have intensified that result and gone a long way to destroying the NHS to boot. Given a largely right-wing press much of which is controlled STILL by Aussie Murdoch, with the Sun's usual scurrilous last day headline especially, I think that the Labour Party is constantly having to battle to get its policies across. It was lovely to see the teenage girls outraged by this unfairness and trying to redress the balance with their Milifandom twitter campaign!06-05-2015, 07:27 PM

I see people struggling to feed their families and worried about the next round of cuts we are promised by the Tories. I see kids being given breakfast as school because their parents can't afford to feed them at home.
Yes there are some that are unable to work for one reason or another I accept that,but the internet always has jobs advertised.
The English are getting lazy and rather have foreigners take jobs from under them which they could do just as well.
If their were not rich people running businesses there would be no work for the workers, something so much overlooked.
No companies = no jobs but the average man on the street just can't see it

The trouble is 90% of the time they can't be bothered to go self employed for starters or think menial jobs a beneath them.

It's easy to be judgemental when you're not on the sharp end.
