Things Can Only Get Better...?

On the 13th of May, 2007, The Politics Show revealed the results of a survey it had commissioned. Over 4,000 UK wide residents responded and were asked their opinions on a variety of topics regarding life under Blair. The results can be seen at the show's website, (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/politics_show/6640411.stm) and included:

Education and Schools: 70% thought it was worse under Blair

Public Services: 36% thought public service was worse under Blair, despite massive increases in government spending.

Better Off: Although Blair and Brown keep claiming that we are a more propserous nation after a decade of Labour rule, only 40% of people in Scotland and only 34% of English residents agreed.

Crime: 56% of all UK resisdents agreeed it is worse since Blair came to power.

Rural Post Offices: 1,000's have closed during the Blair era. Couple this with the closure of local schools and you get a growing picture of countryside life being destroyed.

Rural Schools: 1,000's closed down under the Blair era. More have had their playing fields sold off. So much for the concept of "healthy in mind and body" for our young population. No wonder we have the most obese children in Europe.
