Any Blair voter has a lot to answer. I voted Tory in 1997 with more conviction than ever.

I knew Blair was a charlatan before he became PM, hypocritically sending his son to Catholic Grant Maintained School miles away from his Islington home whilst it was his Govt's policy to put all GM schools back into LA. He was also very pro abortion and gay rights in contradiction to his superficial Christianity.

And when he got into power we got unlimited immigration, futile wars, dumbed down education, mega expensive devolution for which the tax payer has to pay MSP salaries and the cost of Scottish and Welsh Parliament buildings, more powers handed to the EU, council tax and petrol price rises well above inflation, an attack on the nuclear family, red tape with intended HIPs and ID cards, more people lured into welfare dependency. The only plus points were minimum wage and NI peace agreement which was started by John Major.

I actually have less concern of a Starmer Govt than I did New Labour which was even worse than I feared. Rachel Reeves will be constrained by markets and debt deficits so cant go on  wasteful spending sprees like Gordon Brown. And most of the woke LGBTQ policies have already been enacted by Blair and his protege David Cameron. Even the green agenda targets wont be reached because if Labour impose home blackouts due to non use of fossil fuels they'll be despised more than the current Conservatives.
