You were wrong, you were proved wrong and you resort to your usual little point by point tactic to somehow try and prove you're right, when the whole world can see you contradicted yourself.

I just get sick of hearing the propaganda - he doesn't debate, he throws a party political braodcast out, complete with campbell spin and is unable to take part in reasoned discussion unless it's pro-labour.

Whilst i'm not a fan of the way sminkeypinkey defends everything labour does, and i swear he'd defend them if they rolled tanks down our streets for our own safety I must defend him here, he never said "all people would be better off", he said "the vast majority" that's a big difference. I think it wrong to twist his words there.

What I'm really interested to see is whether sminkey is new labour or old labour... care to enlighten us, comrade sminkey?
