  1. labour - still got a soft spot for them. I think politics is unfathomable and that anybody going in is bright eyed and bushy tailed and wanting to change the system from within and then they find out that isnt possible and they cant even tell the truth because of how it will be used against them - so I probably sympathise with all the political parties once in power. the system is not good for anyone.

    I think I'll always have  a soft spot for labour though - history  - the making of the english working class ragged trousered philanthropist - Dickens - all of that .


  2. Labour.  I was born into a Welsh working class Methodist family who were all strong Socialists.

    There's a saying that the Labour party owes more to the Methodist Church than it does to Karl Marx - very true.

    We have at our head now in Gordon Brown a Scot of the Socialist kind and thinking who is also a Presbyterian - much favoured by Oliver Cromwell - the Lord Protector of England.

    Labour will return to power for a further five years following the next general election in 2010 - June.  People who doubt this now will be both pleased and surprised at the good news as time passes.

    Those of us who think we are worse off under Labour should consider this - during his tenure in office as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown raised the personal allowances of all tax-payers year on year.  People have forgotten.

    No other political party has done more for the people of Britain than Labour.  We are now celebrating sixty years since the foundation of the National Health Service - a brilliant and entirely Socialist concept, which still today is the envy of the world.

    I know what Americans really think, I worked for an American company here in London for 25 years.  Americans think that the NHS is the best thing since sliced bread and of course they are right.  Those Americans who live and work here and who pay NI and tax here, have greatly benefited from the services of the NHS.

    Yesterday, I saw an American woman on TV who had given birth to her baby here at an NHS hospital pemature by about three or four months.

    What this woman told us was that back home in the States it would have cost her a fortune - so far, she told us, no one had even mentioned money and as far as she understood, no one was ever going to even ask.

    That's what the NHS is all about - caring for all of the people all of the time.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY NHS 60 YEARS YOUNG.

    THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AFTER ME FOR ALL OF THOSE SIXTY WONDERFUL YEARS.  I WILL NOT FORGET WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME.
