Remember this?
1997 Labour Promises
Pledge Card
1. We will cut class sizes to 30 or under for 5, 6 and 7 year olds by using money saved from the assisted places scheme.
2. We will introduce a fast track punishment scheme for persistent young offenders by halving the time from arrest to sentencing.
3. We will cut NHS waiting lists by treating an extra 100,000 patients as a first step by releasing £100m saved from NHS red tape
.
4. We will get 250,000 under-25 years-olds off benefit and into work by using money from a windfall levy on the privatised utilities.
5. We will set tough rules for government spending and borrowing and ensure low inflation and strengthen the economy so that interest rates are as low as possible to make all families better off.
2001
1. Mortgages as low as possible, low inflation and sound public finances
2. 10,000 extra teachers and higher standards in secondary schools
3. 20,000 extra nurses and 10,000 extra doctors in a reformed NHS
4. 6,000 extra recruits to raise police numbers to their highest ever level
5. Pensioners' winter fuel payment retained, minimum wage rising to £4.20
By 2005, with lots of failures on display in Health care, Policing, Teaching, Public spending and taxation, the most bland, innocuous, unquantifiable pledges, released only because they had been done before and to escape the charge of abandonment appeared without fanfare.
1. Your family better off
2. Your family treated better and faster
3. Your child achieving more
4. Your country's borders protected
5. Your community safer

subrosa,
In view of a recent blog of yours re care for the elderly have left a wee message on my blog for you.
Pinochios all!
Thank you Brownlie, I shall accept that as a kindness. ;)
Too good a description OR, liars and conpersons would be more apt.
Labour - aspirational or delusional?
Pure utter B'Sh1te
---------and they have the gall to think we will not remember
T'internet is a grand thing so, they must be plotting as we post to control it.
Epic Fail!
Ahem... you guess scunnert. :)
Indeed they're trying BL. you only have to read the blogs which watch out for these proposals.
QM I'm please Faux Cul asked me to publish this because we need to remember it during the election.
And they have the nerve to accuse others of not meeting targets.
As for 'children achieving more', children are achieving far less because of their policies and that's a tragedy that will last for a couple of generations.
They never fail to do the opposite of what they say!
BTW, SR, I couldn't get that player on my blog to shut up so I got rid of it completely - it can't make you, (or me), jump anymore.
Ah BS, so I can read your blog when I'm half asleep now and not have the proverbial heart attack - great news!
Correct, SR, but I managed, finally, to fix it - the switch I needed was hidden right in front of me all the time! So, I've put it back and, as it's silent, you still won't jump out of your skin!
Well done BS. I had a hell of a day today trying to find a buttom for comments and spent hours reading blog widgets sites.
Filthy engineer sorted me out within minutes when I asked him.
Goes to show we should really ask for help doesn't it. Or say when someone's blog is slow or whatever rather than just not revisit.
