Is this really the same party or should Cameron say sorry?

It's the same old Tory party. The big society is just a scam, it's a way of getting people to do work for free at the expense of someones livelihood. We will be having people running Libraries for free, no need to employ staff there then. We will have people cleaning the streets, no need to employ someone there then. We will have people running schools, no need to employ people there then, and so it will go on. The Tories always hated the minimum wage and now they have found a way around it, and if you won't help out in your community by doing these jobs for free then you will have your benefits stopped. I wonder if people can apply for jobs running the country, no need for staff there then.

I would imagine that Cameron will apologise for Thatcher at about the same time as Stalin will apologise for the pogroms.

Don't hold your breath.

Labour are the limp-wristed, weak apologists that have caused our country to be the laughing stock of the world, not the Conservatives.

If, by 'good and praiseworthy', you mean the bloated, arrogant and greed-motivated unions like the NUM, you need to take a really good look at the union and Labour records over the past 50 years - preferably this time with your eyes open.

Edit:

Point taken. But to quote Jim Callaghan, who himself presided over round after round of strikes, power cuts and civil disturbance in his feeble attempts to hold onto power (similar in many ways to Gordon Brown at the last GE when Labour last successfully screwed up our economy), is a little like asking the sheep whether they should let the wolf into the pen.

Typical 21st century British. looking for someone to blame when your own servility and social cowardice has always been the real culprit. Sitting back and waiting for someone Els to sort out the problem is the precise reason why Britain is sinking fast. The British are a gutless breed who watch in horror at everything from the destruction of their industries, the privatisation of their utilities, to the socially destructive culture destroying mass immigration into their once safe and secure country. And what do they do, at a time when action has never been easier to organise throughout the internet.....they sit on their fat @rses moaning and waiting for the BBC to tell them who to blame. Pathetic.....you bet it is. A people shamelessly living off of the past glories of their brave fathers and Grandfathers. A people who haven't the balls to set too and build a cheap garden shed, let alone a bloody Empire. Will they shape up and act to protect their children's future....yea...After east enders perhaps.

Thatcher should be the one apologising, the old bat is still alive.
