I AM fed up of people going on about austerity and Labour never admitting their mistakes.
They had 15 years in power and they are one of the worst I can remember. Gordon Brown borrowed so much money that we ended up with austerity, which Conservatives introduced to try to pay back what Brown and Tony Blair borrowed.
So here is Jeremy Corbyn going on about what he is going to do.
Where is all the money coming from? More borrowing perhaps. We will end up with the same old problem with Labour as in the past going back to the 1960s.
Borrow and borrow more money. All hot air promises. I am sorry but I have never believed in the Labour Party.
Blair rolled over and gave in to the EU because he was thinking of himself. I believe Mr Corbyn will do the same, whereas Theresa May will fight tooth and nail.
What did Labour do for York when we were losing our industry? What have they done for the North? Nothing much.
I am not saying the Conservatives are whiter than white, but I believe they are a better choice than Labour at this time.
