Yes your right, what we need to do is to ensure that Gas is used on the disabled , good solid New Labour politics, why should people with disabilities be kept alive while hard working people pay for the people who are injured in work, 1500 people are seriously injured in this country, and I mean seriously injured each each, a disabled baby is born in the UK every 25 minutes, by disabled I mean seriously disabled.

People with a disability are unlikely to find work because Labour has decided to make the private sector employ the disabled and public sector are now employing less disabled people, all New Labour are doing is making cuts to benefits.

I lost the use of my legs , my bowel my bladder, I lost the partial use of my hands all in an accident caused by my employer not servicing a machine, which they stated was needed to make a profit. I broke my back, and cut my spinal cord, hold on I can give out baskets at Asda.

grow bloody up.

10 years of Labour have done nothing for mass unemployment. It has simply been renamed. Nearly 2million more people are now on incapacity benefit, total around 2.6m. Add in 1 million officially unemployed and we’re back to where we started, only worse as it’s harder to get people off IB (and costs us more).
Same story in education, everything’s renamed, but still the same, or worse.
Face it: Social democracy doesn’t work, and it’s unintended consequences are invariably worse than doing nothing.

John,it is bit late to revive the fortunes of the party for next election.Last decade has seen the most spineless labour movement of the century.The Blairite policies have played havoc with socilist princilpes and most of us turned blind eye.Health,education,transport IT all are at the mercy of private sector for the benefit of shareholders.Gordon Brown’s adminstration is accerating the private solutions rather than reverting to Public sector ethoes.Your wish-list is applaudable but do you have any takers,who will fight for pragmatic sensible socialist principles?.
