HAS LABOUR MADE A MESS OF BRITAIN?

The lure of cheaper property and freedom from crime appeals to Brits

NEARLY four million disgruntled UK citizens want to permanently leave Britain because of rising crime, new figures revealed yesterday.

Research shows that of the 10 million people who are looking to buy a property abroad in the next 12 months, four in 10 of them will consider leaving Britain for good.

The main reason given for the mass exodus was crime and the growing problem of yob culture.

Just weeks after Home Secretary Jacqui Smith admitted she would not walk out alone at night, the new research also reveals that most of the those wishing to leave for good are women.

Other reasons cited for becoming dissatisfied with life in the UK include the dismal weather, the rising cost of living and soaring taxation.

The research, carried out by Foreign Currency Direct, found that of those looking to buy abroad, 50 per cent of women would like to make a permanent move. This contrasts with just 21 per cent of male buyers wishing to uproot for good.

Do YOU think Labour has made a mess of Britain? Would YOU consider leaving Britain to live abroad?

Have YOUR say...

IS LABOUR THE MOST DANGEROUS PARTY IN BRITIAN?

Yet again we see this government treating us like fools and feel it is right to treat us like children. Brown and this clown's only seem to listen to us when a general election is around the corner, then 'its do as we say not as we do'.

Who can lead the country through this difficult time, well the current government has proved they can't, the Tories are really any better and the green party bring in a law to ban all cars for ever and put us all in mud huts.

Time after time we hear the horror stories of Labours mishandling of everything from discs to banks, Europe, benefits etcs. We find our hard earning is being thrown at unworkable projects (ID Cards) and all these new arrivals that decided to come to the UK and milk benefit system. Most of us disapprove but this falls on deaf ears and then we are accused of being racists, while the PC correct brigade allows this blatant abuse no wonder these immigrants risk life and limb to cross the channel in the back of trucks just to reach our shores

Labour just can not be trusted with this country, we be told to embrace the European flag before long and be forcing to house immigrants in our spare rooms next, just to keep the government’s housing budgets down. I am not a conservative supporter but who else have can we turn to?

IN A WORD "YES"

As far as I am concerned Britain is possibly the worlds biggest joke.
Immigrants are constantly flowing into our once great country, legally or illegally and all the government can do is throw wads of tax payers money at them to try and keep them happy.
I could go on for hours, talking about how Tony Blair ruined this country and how Gordon Brown is following in his path of destruction. But to put it simply send Gordon and his scottish cronies back to Scotland and declare Englands independance. If one thing gets my blood boiling its being called British, i am not Irish or Welsh, I am English and its about time England sorts it self out.

HAS LABOUR MADE A MESS OF BRITAIN?

Labour has made a lasting achevement for this country;
Tough on crime, we know recorded crime is falling because no one thiks it worth while reporting it.
Immigation
Corruption on a scale to make John Major's lot look pious.....hence their claim to be purer than pure
Absence of dentists,despite their pledge we should all have access to a dentist
Banning mixed wards,another pledge by Bliar years ago.
Filthy hospitals despite "24 to save NHS with Labour"
Abuse by Ministers;
Straw
Boateng
Prescott
Byers
Blunkett
Mandy
all this lot and more were all defended by Bliar saying he had the utmost confidence in them.
Complete absence of police except around the House of Commons
Out of control immigrants and teenagers(neither of whom can be prosectued as they have no monety for fines and no jail to put them in,so the police don't even attempt to do anything,not that they can anyway.
Masterminding the abuse of our welfare system thay we all pay into ......except MPs who are tax exempt.
Phony amnesties for carrying a gun or knife ,as if a crook would actually do that!(taking their weapon to a police station instead of throwing into the canal if they had decided to give up their life of crime.
Weekly killing of teenagers mainly by gangs consisting of people on benefits who should not even be alllowed to remain in the country.
Brown wants to control absolutely everything and has absolutley no control over anything.
The list is endless,no one in this country has any respect for anyone as there is no need or amition to work as there is no need to,there is more money for staying at home,unless you are an MP in which case there are numerous troughs at your disposal.
All socialists through history have not been able to resist abusing their position.

IT'S NOT JUST LABOUR!!!

John Major's lot didn't do much for Britain either, with the ERM fiasco blamed on poor old Norman. People voted Labour because they wanted a change for the better and many voters were too young to remember what Labour was like when they were last in. This time we were hit with a double-whammy on company pension funds. The Treasury's coffers have gone from war-chest to black hole. 'TAX and WASTE' would be a good motto for our present government.
