This once great nation that stood proud and true is all but broken, her epitaph reads as such:

And that will be England gone,
The shadows, the meadows, the lanes,
The guildhalls, the carved choirs.
There’ll be books; it will linger on
In galleries; but all that remains
For us will be concrete and tyres.

With notable thanks to Philip Larkin for his “Going, Going” poem of January 1972

An insider quoted the great economist Forrest Gump when he said

…that’s about all I’ve got to say about that

Official Announcement:

The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from a Union Flag to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government’s political stance.

A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you’re actually being screwed.

Damn, it just doesn’t get more accurate than that!

With great thanks to the Labour Party without whom we’d all be a lot better off.

This, in my opinion is the most descriptive set of words ever compiled to discuss the dreadful subject that is Gordon Brown and the effect he has had on Britain.

The lyrics to “Death on two legs” follows as does a “soundtrack” video.

Watch and READ: For those ex-military, WATCH AND READ

Death on two legs

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You’ve taken all my money
And you want more
Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules
With your narrow minded cronies
Who are fools of the first division
Death on two legs
You’re tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You’ve never had a heart of your own
Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry
You’re just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide?
(i think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good feel good?

You talk like a big business tycoon
You’re just a hot air balloon
So no one gives you a damn
You’re just an overgrown schoolboy
Let me tan your hide
A dog with disease
You’re the king of the ‘sleaze’
Put your money where your mouth is
Mister know-all
Was the fin on your back
Part of the deal? (shark)
Death on two legs
You’re tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You’ve never had a heart (you never did) of your own
(right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside
You’re a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
Make me feel good i feel good

Do you agree? Do you have a better alternative?

Daylight robbery is rife in Britain once again.

In the run up to the General Election #GE10 it has become apparent that the Business Secretary’s contempt for charitable organisations has reached new lows as he robs charities to claw money back the for reckless spending machine that is the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP).

Last month Lord Mandelson decided to remove an exemption for charities from music licensing rules which quite simply means that from April 2010 those organisations will have to choose between paying large bills if they hold events with recorded music or do without the music completely.

You robbing bastard!

By law all retail outlets are bound by the Performing Rights Society (PRS) representing composers and songwriters, there is no exemption for charities.

However, a large majority of these organisations must also purchase a licence from Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) representing performers and record companies. Currently there are two small clauses in the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 (Sections 67 and 72) that exempt charities from this requirement.

Lord Mandelson has decided to remove this exemption following a public consultation by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) ensuring this is in place for April this year. Is this another sign that #GE10 will be in March?

Let’s consider a few areas this affects so we can see just how bloody silly this really is. A charity shop with music in the background would be forced to pay. Carnival floats that play music would be forced to pay. A carer’s association or nursery playing music to entertain the children would be forced to pay.

Think it’s wrong? You know where to put your X on polling day at #GE10.

It would be laughable if it wasn’t so scary. The Government can just throw this kind of money away in an attempt to pretty-up their message and their recycled policies and sell them to the British public using their own money.

It’s all a far cry from the day the Parliamentary Labour Party stole the choice of power from the people of Britain by denying us the right to vote for our Prime Minister and instead made the mistake of their entire lives by installing Gordon Brown.

The day Gordon Brown stood on the steps of No10 as the PM he laid claim to the future of Britain that would be led by

A government of ‘all the talents’ and an end to spin

Well, thus far I have seen very little talent both within their ranks and from those appointments they have made so much of a public fan fair of and as for claiming to putting an end to spin…

…an end to spin? Hardly.

There are now 3,284 staff employed in departmental press and communication directorates prostituting their wares for the benefit of this weak and ineffectual Government.

Coupled with this we have another [circa] 700 staff who are responsible for getting the message to the public and making clear the message to other agencies.

These eye watering statistics were obtained from the Central Office of Information ‘White Book’ of Government and agency press officers by Nick Hurd MP.

An end to spin? Not under this Government.

An end to lies and deception? Not under this Government.

An end to boom and bust? You know the answer.

So far, not even an end to the recession.

Just as an aside and seeing as we’ve mentioned the day Brown came to power I was just wondering how the PLP felt now seeing as it was them that voted Harriet Harman to be the deputy leader of the Party and not Alan Johnson. Would they care to turn the clock back, just a little?

Every independent body has denounced the #pbr as a cynical pre-election manifesto that simply puts off the difficult decisions until after a General Election with cash incentives that will be clawed back within 18 months yet still I see the Loony Left suggesting he was strong, he did what was right for our nation.

It seems that ever more the Loony Left are attempting to cling on to power at ANY cost and unfortunately that cost is to us, the taxpayer.

Despite all that, the PLP are suggesting this is good, ffs!

However, given that these reviews come around every 7 years or so in one form or another they should always be completely independent.

The problem is though, the PLP is in danger of briefing out certain parameters before any review is conducted or even sourced.

The Royal Navy has an order in place for 2 65,000 ton Aircraft Carriers (Queen Elizabeth and the Prince of Wales) that will carry up to 40 Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) and have been billed as the biggest and most powerful warships ever constructed for the Royal Navy.

It’s just that it isn’t likely to happen. It is too late for the RN to pull out of the contract due to financial penalties so the Government are likely to propose that the Prince of Wales be downgraded to a commando ship that would carry only helicopters and troops.

If this act of sabotage comes to pass this once great sea-faring nation will be forced to ‘borrow’ an Aircraft Carrier from the French! This has already been addressed by French president Nicolas Sarkozy when he suggested to Gordon Brown that both countries ‘co-ordinate’ carrier building programmes.

Dr Liam Fox MP the Shadow Secretary of State for Defence went on record as saying

any decision to axe a carrier before the review would be absolutely unacceptable and typical of the Government’s chaotic, inconsistent and incompetent defence procurement policy.

He further stated

The Government is saying it is fully committed-to the carriers while at the same time forcing them to be cut…it is confusing for the Navy, it is confusing for industry and it is completely inconsistent with the whole concept of running an independent defence review.

An MOD spokesman stated that Bob Ainsworth MP ‘remained 100% committed’ to the Aircraft Carriers.

Why is the MOD briefing out for the Defence Secretary? Is there something he is not telling us?

I fear for our Armed Forces, Civil Servants and Public Services in the coming months as the Government does what it can to cling to power whilst using all and sundry as their pawns resulting in the Conservative Government post General Election having their hands tied with terrible financial restriction as Darling and Brown attempt to spend every last penny this country has to its name.

As the title suggests, it is logical to conclude that a Defence Review should be just that, a review undertaken without prejudice and a series of findings produced for which to act upon, NOT the other way around.

Here is the full text:

We know what the task is.

Britain is coming out of the deepest recession since the war.

Our country is facing the largest budget deficit in our modern history.

And we will have no choice but tackle it decisively if we are to stop high interest rates and the unemployment they bring.

Yet at the same time the next Conservative Government is determined to leave public services and society stronger than it finds them.

Put bluntly.

Labour created this mess.

Everything we have done in this Party:

- all the changes we have brought about;

- all the judgements we have made;

- all the leadership that you David have shown us;

all these things have prepared us for this moment – the moment when we ask to take our country forward at a time of enormous difficulty.

Our unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility as the root of economic stability.

Our understanding that millions of Britons depend on public services and cannot opt out.

Our conviction that precisely because so many depend on them, those services need radical reform.

Our determination as compassionate Conservatives to protect the most vulnerable.

Our hard-headed recognition that, without enterprise and aspiration, compassion comes with an empty wallet.

It is the combination of these values that define the modern Conservative Party.

And there’s something else.

After a year in which trust in Parliament has been rocked to its foundations, we know that politics must change forever.

We have to be open and transparent with the people we serve.

We need to offer a complete change from the double counting, the fiddled figures, the off balance sheet trickery, the stealth taxes and the feckless irresponsibility of the last twelve years.

We must rescue a lost generation from the jobs crisis that afflicts our country.

We must move this economy from one built on debt to one sustained by saving and investment.

The government borrowed too much.

The banks borrowed too much.

Let’s tell the truth – we all borrowed too much.

Were we the only people in the world who did this? No, we were not.

Were we the ones who did it most? Yes, we were.

Now we reap the terrible consequences.

One in five young people cannot find work.

One pound in every four the state spends goes straight on the national debt.

More of our taxes go on paying the interest on that debt than on educating our children or defending our country.

Britain cannot go on like this.

We are sinking in a sea of debt.

I believe it is a terrible mistake to claim, as Gordon Brown does, that there is a choice between getting to grips with the debt and having an economic recovery.

Of course the pace of fiscal tightening has to be determined in co-ordination with the independent Bank of England and monetary policy.

And we will create an independent Office for Budget Responsibility to hold us to our course.

But you cannot have a sustained recovery until you show the world that Britain can pay its way.

And let me tell you, the world is watching Britain at the moment.

It is casting doubt on our country’s creditworthiness.

It is questioning our resolve to deal with our debts.

And when that starts to happen, then long term interest rates rise, and international investment dries up, and businesses fail, and unemployment rises still further, and the recovery is killed stone dead.

We saw it the last time a Labour Government ran out of money.

And we must never allow our country to be dragged there again.

So we need to show political leadership and take the difficult decisions.

What a disgrace that a Chancellor who is borrowing £175 billion this year didn’t even mention it in his Conference speech.

The Prime Minister called him last week ‘a great Chancellor’, conveniently forgetting that three months ago he tried to sack him.

What does it say about Gordon Brown that he got into a trial of strength with Alistair Darling and lost.

And while we’re on the Prime Minister. This man has in front of him confidential Treasury advice that he’s got to cut spending by 10%.

What a disgrace that he spends his Conference speech unveiling a list of new unfunded spending commitments when he can’t pay for the last lot.

When he should have been giving this country a lead, he went shopping on Brighton Pier with the nation’s credit card.

The Iron Chancellor has turned into the plastic Prime Minister.

Free social care. Free hospital parking. Free childcare places.

We would all like those things. But where is the money coming from?

He is treating the British people like fools.

If you want to know why this is the least trusted government we have ever known then look at the nonsense they spouted at their Conference last week and you will have your answer.

Speaker after speaker, Prime Minister after Chancellor, said we opposed the bail out of the banks.

Do they think no one will remember our Party Conference last year in Birmingham?

That none of the journalists, let alone the audience here, would remember when David Cameron interrupted the schedule to come onto the stage and pledge the support of the opposition?

We supported the bank bailouts last autumn.

Not for political advantage, because we knew we wouldn’t get any.

We did it because David and I genuinely believed it was the right thing to do.

And all our big economic judgements come down to that.

The judgement at our Conference three years ago to tell you that we were not going to come up with a list of unfunded tax cuts.

And who doubts that was the right judgement now.

The judgement to tell the British people twelve months ago, when it wasn’t fashionable, that the cupboard was bare.

Or the judgement last November to oppose the VAT cut.

That wasn’t the easy thing to do.

You try being the Shadow Chancellor who tells the Conservative Parliamentary Party that we are going to vote against a tax cut.

But who now doubts that was the right thing to do.

For not a single government in the world followed Britain’s VAT cut.

Hardly a single major retailer thinks it worked.

David Cameron and I have always put sound money and stability ahead of everything. And who now argues against that?

This June we told the truth and said publicly that whoever won the election would have to cut government spending.

The Prime Minister told Parliament week after week that the choice was now ‘investment versus cuts’.

But the public realised the choice wasn’t cuts versus investment.

It was reality versus fantasy.

Prudence versus profligacy.

Truth versus lies.

Never has a government’s economic position collapsed more comprehensively in the face of an opposition’s argument.

We made the right call.

And if anyone still needed proof that we are now in control of the argument on the economy, it came last night.

As we have argued for months, pay restraint is necessary and the debt crisis needs addressing.

But for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to sneak out public sector pay policy in the middle of the Conservative conference, when he didn’t have the guts to announce it to the Labour Party Conference tells you that these Labour politicians are better at writing books about courage than displaying it themselves.

This is about character as well as policy.

Now we face the biggest challenge.

How to build the sort of Britain we want in the face of the largest deficit in the developed world.

Let me tell you the distinctive approach modern Conservatives will take to making that judgement.

I can’t give you the 2010 Budget in 2009.

But I want you to understand the sort of Government we will be, and the sort of decisions we will take.

First, modern Conservatives understand that we are all in this together.

There cannot be one rule for Westminster and Whitehall, and another rule for everyone else.

It is not the quantity of money saved so much as the example set.

We will cut the pay of Ministers by 5% next year and then freeze it for the rest of the Parliament.

We will cut the number of MPs by 10%.

And Parliament will be required to do what so many hard-pressed businesses have been forced to do, and close its unaffordable pension scheme to new members.

And what we ask of Westminster, we will also ask of Whitehall and its quangos.

The excessive salaries at the top have to go.

In the current climate, anyone who wishes to pay a public servant more than the Prime Minister will have to put it before the Chancellor.

I am not expecting a long queue.

The tax relief on private sector pensions is capped, so the time has come to find ways to impose a £50,000 annual cap too on the size of public sector pension payouts.

And a Conservative Britain won’t need such a huge army of regulators, inspectors and central planners second-guessing the professional judgement of every teacher, nurse and police officer.

And we won’t need a huge tier of regional government second-guessing the decisions of elected local councillors either.

I tell you today that the next Conservative Government will cut the cost of Whitehall by one third over the next Parliament.

Westminster and Whitehall subjected to the same disciplines as everyone else.

A £3 billion pound a year saving in bureaucracy alone.

We are all in this together.

Second, modern Conservatives believe in decent public services.

We know that the vast majority of families depend on them and cannot opt out.

The idea that David Cameron and any Cabinet he leads – the idea that the modern Conservative Party – would callously damage those public services is a shameful lie.

Under David’s leadership we have committed to increasing health funding each year.

We have become the Party of the NHS.

Yes, we want to reform public services.

Unless we reverse the dramatic fall in productivity over which this government has presided, one thing is certain – the frontline will suffer.

Progressive Conservative reform or Labour frontline cuts – that’s the real dividing line in British politics.

Departmental budgets will have to be set to get more for less across the public sector.

It’s what successful businesses do everyday.

This constant process of:

- rooting out waste;

- eliminating failing programmes;

- reviewing procurement;

- publishing spending information online

- increasing productivity

- ending the constant stream of pointless eye-catching initiatives;

all this will make the greatest contribution to reducing the budget deficit.

Tens of billions of pounds will have to be saved this way.

The reform of public services will be driven not just by those who manage them, but by the choices of those who use them.

We are all in this together.

Third, modern Conservatives have a huge respect for the many committed public servants.

Conservatives should never use lazy rhetoric that belittles those who are employed by the government.

Our job should be to motivate those people and get the best out of them.

But it is because we treat those who work in our public sector with respect that I want to be straight with you about the choices we face.

At a time of crisis, there is an inevitable and difficult trade off between securing jobs and restraining pay.

Anyone who tells you otherwise when the budget deficit is this big is misleading you.

It is the same trade off that has been made at British Telecom, Vodafone, Jaguar and – incidentally – Channel 4 and the Guardian.

No one should pick on public sector workers.

I will not ask them to make any sacrifice or shoulder any burden that the rest of Britain is not being asked to make.

And government must honour commitments already made.

But today I tell you in all candour that if you look at the nation’s finances.

What the Government announced yesterday will not be enough. It covers less than a fifth of the public sector workforce.

You will see that whoever wins the election is going to have to ask from 2011 each part of the public sector to accept a one year pay freeze.

We shouldn’t include public servants earning less than £18,000.

Because I don’t believe in balancing the budget on the backs of the poorest – and nor do you

Nor of course would anyone want to include those risking their lives for this country in Afghanistan – we owe them so much more.

Indeed, we should double their operational allowance.

I know it is difficult to ask such hard working people to accept this freeze.

But I want to be straight with you.

A pay freeze of the scale I’m talking about is the equivalent to saving 100,000 public sector jobs.

And I say to every public sector worker it is the best way to try to protect your job during this difficult period.

We are all in this together.

And modern Conservatism includes understanding that everyone being in it together involves the rich making their contribution too.

I am no fan of high tax rates.

We know that in the long run they destroy enterprise.

That is why we should not accept Labour’s new 50 per cent tax rate on the highest earners as a permanent feature of the tax system.

But we could not even think of abolishing the 50p rate on the rich while at the same time I am asking many of our public sector workers to accept a pay freeze to protect their jobs.

I think we can all agree that would be grossly unfair.

We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens.

Remember we were the first to ask the non doms to make their fair contribution.

Everyone must pay their share.

I have a tough message to the bankers too.

The support from the taxpayer when you needed it most was there to prop up your banks not your bank accounts.

Don’t forget that.

I hope the new international rules work.

It is the best solution.

But if we find the money that should be going into stronger bank balance sheets is being unreasonably diverted into bigger pay and bonuses – we reserve the right to take further action and that includes using the tax system.

I have given you a fair warning.

For I believe in the free market not a free ride.

And I believe we are all in this together.

But none of this will work unless we do something else modern Conservatives believe.

We will never mend our broken public finances unless we start to fix our broken society.

The cost of broken families and broken communities is paid for by every hard working taxpayer.

That is why we are going to support marriage in the tax and benefit system.

That is why, as you heard yesterday, we are going to devote an enormous effort to help the unemployed and get Britain working.

Along with our reforms to incapacity benefit, we also have to take a realistic look at the benefits the rest of society receives.

We will preserve child benefit, winter fuel payments and free TV licenses. They are valued by millions.

But quite frankly child trust funds have not been as successful as many like myself hoped.

We should continue paying them to the poorest families who often have no savings, and encourage them to use them more – but, let me tell you today, handing out new baby bonds to the rest of the country is a luxury we can no longer afford.

And I can also tell you today, we can no longer justify paying means tested tax credits to families with incomes over £50,000.

A modern Conservative Government will not ask from anyone what it is not prepared to ask from everyone.

Here’s one more part of the modern Conservative approach to putting Britain back on the right financial track.

We want to turn an economy that borrows into one that saves.

At every stage we will support the culture of saving, and for those who show responsibility for themselves and others.

Encouraging savings is why I made my promise that only millionaires would pay inheritance tax.

Of course this financial crisis means it cannot be a priority for our first Budget, but in the lifetime of a Parliament we will honour that pledge.

A savers society is our ambition.

So we are going to stop more and more pensioners being driven onto the means test.

Let me affirm today that in the next Parliament we resolve to restoring the earnings link for the basic state pension.

That means a more generous state pension for all.

But this is another one of those trade-offs any honest government has to confront.

All parties accept that to afford that with an ageing population, the state pension will have to rise.

The women’s pension age is already set to start rising over the next decade to 65. And by 2026 the pension age for men and women will reach 66.

This is already happening.

But most experts – including Lord Turner who made this recommendation – now think that is too far off.

So we will hold the review which Turner’s Report itself proposed and which this government has never held.

Our aim will be to bring forward the date when the pension age rises.

This already is happening in Germany, in Holland and in Australia

We will ensure that no increase will happen until the second half of the next decade – in the Parliament after next.

For men this means the pension age will not start to rise to 66 until at least 2016.

For women this means the pension age will not start to rise from 65 to 66 until at least 2020.

No one who is a pensioner today, or approaching retirement soon, will be affected.

But this is how we can afford increasing the basic state pension for all.

One final thing on a saving society.

I today set this ambition for a future Conservative Government.

It’s an ambition we will only be able to fulfil when we have got on top of the deficit.

It’s an ambition that may well take more than one parliament to achieve.

Gordon Brown’s disastrous tax raid on pensions heralded the start of the age of irresponsibility.

So today I say we will reverse the effects of Gordon Brown’s pensions tax raid and get our country saving again.

That saving will fund investment – investment in real business.

I want to talk very directly to the people at home.

Conservatives have been straight with you today:

- A bigger state pension each year for all paid for by an increase in the pension age of one year

- A one year public sector pay freeze, that does not apply to the lowest paid, in order to protect the jobs of 100,000 people working in frontline public services

- Tackling Britain’s debt crisis to stop higher interest rates and higher unemployment for all

These are the honest choices in the world in which we live and we have made them today.

Anyone who tells you these choices can be avoided is not telling you the truth.

We are all in this together.

Friends, I have done this job for more than four years.

I have done it when no one trusted our Party with the economy, and I do it now when we have earned that trust and when the expectations of millions rest on our shoulders.

I have learned many things along the way.

Trust your values.

Don’t just follow the crowd, or you will end up lost.

Accept there will be hard knocks.

Understand that with the opponents we face, it will only get more personal the more desperate they become.

Above all over the last four years I have learned that you have say the true things that need saying or not bother doing the job at all.

That is what I have done today.

In the new era of politics which we have entered into, after what Parliament has been through this year, nothing else is possible.

I have got two young children.

I want a prosperous Britain where my children can be everything they can be.

I want an optimistic Britain where my children can be part of a strong, tolerant, generous society.

I want my children to think that our generation paid off its debts, valued its savers, rewarded responsibility, invested in their future.

And because I want it for my children, I want it for your children too.

I want it for everyone’s children.

Because we are all in this together.

We changed the Conservative Party to be ready for this moment.

So that when the moment came, people would see us fit to govern.

People would trust us with public services.

People would join us to fix the broken society.

And people would turn to us to lead the economy out of crisis.

We changed the Conservative Party so that:

to a country that says it is time for a change;

we can say we are ready to make the change.

Blogging is severely limited during the conference whilst we concentrate on the #labourlost campaign, normal service will be resumed shortly.

Please enjoy this and expect a whole lot more from the stable now that Lord Ashcroft has his fingers in all the pies.

After the past 24 hours do we really need to say more?

Never content to sit quietly and meander into the world of political oblivion, instead preferring to shape that world we now know as a bankrupt and misguided Britain in dire need of a change of direction and leadership.

You see, the trouble with Peter Mandleson is that he strives to be liked. He endeavours to live up to his family’s past and in particular Grandad Herbert.

Grandad Herbert (Morrison)

That Peter Mandleson is actually in charge of this country in all but name at this very moment is not in question; certainly not between those that really understand the situation and are honest with themselves.

But there are in increasing numbers a population of deluded Socialist Twitterers that continue to post their comments of negativity towards any member of the Shadow Cabinet or Opposition Party and its supporters or members should they dare mention this fact.

Unofficially, Lord Mandelson holds exactly the same position within the Government as once held by Good old ‘Erb, the position of Deputy Prime Minister. But there, the similarities end.

Herbert was not a man after cheap praise, he was an honest, hard working Member of Parliament. He was Deputy to Clement Atlee‘s PM and had a hand in drafting the 1945 Labour General Election Manifesto. Herbert died when his grandson was 12 years old in 1965.

I have oft wondered what Herbert would’ve thought had he been alive today at the antics of his grandson. There’s the euphoria of the 1997 landslide General Election victory under Tony Blair, there is of course the ignominy of the double resignation from the Government.

The first resignation was in 1998 over the interest-free loan of £373,000 from Geoffrey Robinson who later accused Lord Mandelson of lying to the Commons about the home loan affair that cost both of them their Government jobs.

I find it hard to believe that as Geoffrey Robinson now sits on several Government committees alongside Lord Mandelson there aren’t still a few niggling annoyances amongst them, ahem.

The second resignation came in 2001 over a passport row for the Hinduja family amid their sponsorship of the Faith Zone in the Millennium Dome.

Those small issues aside it seems that working with Teflon Tony for so many years has actually rubbed off in some small part and Lord Mandelson continues to benefit where others fall by the wayside.

The final question one should ask is why does Mandy support #GoBro so fervently?

Well, there is always the possibility that he is simply passing the time and stacking the odds in his favour so that as the bricks tumble he can gather them and rise from the dust as the saviour of the Britons. I’ve long held this thought but am now happy to ditch it in favour of another equally ridiculous point to consider.

Due to the fact that Herbert lost his sight in one eye as a baby, perhaps, just perhaps Mandy sees a little bit of Good old ‘Erb in Grandad Gordon.

Spiralling Unemployment

Unemployment rose by a record 281,000 to 2.38 million in the three months to May the largest quarterly rise since records began in 1971.

Young people up to 24 years old have been particularly hard hit with unemployment leaping to a 16-year high of 726,000.

The number of young people out of work for more than a year rose by over 46,000 to approximately 528,000, which is the highest for 11 years, and yet we constantly hear that Labour is the best option.

30 years later, what's changed?

There seems only one option and that is for the nation to rally itself and to turn out on the day of the General Election. Right now, I don’t care who you aim to vote for but vote you must. Do NOT let this group of deceitful people cling on any longer to the power that they crave.
