Blair's Legacy

According to Sir Menzies Campbell, leader of the Liberal Democrats, the real legacy of Blair's time in power will eb one of "war and waste."

The Lib Dems have put together a dossier detailing some of the Labour Government's failings since assuming control of the UK in 1997, and point to: 160% rise in personal debt (now estimated to be £1.3 trillion), the gap between rich and poor being wider than it ever was during Thatcher's reign, the increase in carbon emmissions, the increase in class sizes, the ever-increasing NHS deficits and the fact that violent crime has doubled in the last decade.
