Never liked that snivelling creep, one of many engineers to the downfall of the UK.

He wasn't in government in the 80s.

Think the 70's had more to do with the downfall of the UK than the 80's did tbh.

He had a stylish tache.

I shouldn't have put this in the politics forum as I'm not really bothered about his politics, more that in a weird way I find him oddly likeable, despite almost everyone I know believing him to be a c***.

Yeah because record investment in education, re-employment schemes, low unemployment levels, windfall taxes, the universalism of child benefits, the lifting of 1 million children out of poverty and the first time since 1979 that the rich/poor divide didn't increase was clearly a bad thing for the country.

Wellard had it right, I've always thought of him as 'slippery'.

He comes accross to me as a man with no morals who is only interested in the pursuit of power.

We're paying the price for that now; all the quick wins were all funded on the never never. We almost became a police state, and I became hugely worse off under Blair. Mandelson was instrumental in influencing the policy which served to f*** me up and many of my friends and family, his shady dealings sent him packing not once but twice, but TB and GB couldn't manage without him so back he came. That whole bunch of arseholes are now thankfully consigned to history and that's no bad thing in my book.

And that's why it's often comented that the rich/poor divide got wider and wider under Labour???

Phoney credit booms, quotas for everything that allowed figures to be presented favourably when needed, mass civil service employment, Iraq/Afghanistan, throwing cash down the drain so long as the plebs kept voting red...

Actually between 1997 and 2005 it decreased slightly and 1997 was the first year since 1979 that it didn't increase.

We are paying the price because we have a right-wing government who want the people to suffer due to the mistakes of the bankers and a global economic meltdown. We don't need to reduce the deficit by anywhere near the amount the Tory government is but they are doing it anyway and those who are the least well off are the ones who are suffering the most.

The truth is Labour were still left-wing, even under Blair.
