We're living in interesting and rather depressing times. I can't think of anything the government has done right, nor the government before it.
The last time we had a government that did some things right by public service, including the health, education, police and social services, it was 1997 and Tony Blair was PM. Yes I know, Pfi wasn't the best but look at the schools, family centres, new hospitals etc set up that transformed deprived communities.
The was in Iraq was an unmitigated disaster and that of course dominates any discussion on the Blair/Brown years.
It looks as though we may be heading for Boris as PM. Dreadful prospect. Flashman barging through, immoral, dishonest, self seeking, unreliable, lazy, reactive, impulsive, nothing positive about that possibility.
I wish I could be more enthusiastic about the current labour leadership. Having said that, if we have a General Election, I'll vote for our local Labour MP - good person. The Labour manifesto has much more I like than dislike. I just wish the Leader and his group of supporters felt more prime ministerial, reliable and skilled. Still, no contest, it's them or the tories under our FPTP system, so it's them.
