It's a matter of degrees, and not comparison, in my opinion. Morally abhorrent and utterly disgraceful.
Can't agree. The Tories were out of power for a decade or so and I fail to see what improvement there was in that time? Quite the contrary, if my friends in the NHS are to be believed. My personal view of a decade of Labour government is that is was a complete and utter disgrace, cynically manipulating law to enhance control of the masses. Bevan must be turning in his grave. I really, really hope Labour can provide a viable alternative again, but there needs to be a major rethink. Class war will get us nowhere.
