New Labour kicks back at the poor!

Whatever I may think of the New Labour regime, I always imagined they might keep some semblance of socialist thinking in their brains when it came to helping the poor. Under Blair, this wretched party grovelled around dubious millionares, sought the affections of pop stars and celebrities, and generally got about the business of making sure their own troughs were full first.

But watching John Hutton on television trying to say that the decision to abolish the lowest income tax band wouldn't be that bad, I thought I can't wait to see them put out to grass. Hopeless is not the word for them!

Low income families are going to be hard hit. They are going to have to face up to annual income losses of between £50 and £300. Some kind of socialism! It stinks and Hutton should be ashamed of himself.

Just a ridiculous mean and petty-minded action. New Labour? Mean Labour more like!
