'Perhaps if one was being realistic it would be unrealistic to expect the NHS to be fixed, defence spending to be increased, prison overcrowding to be resolved, etc without a rise in taxes?'

I quite agree.

Labour's problem is to deny the fact whilst increasing the benefits payment budget.

If we want more of the latter we should expect more of the former.

I think back and ask myself why did I not rush out and buy £1000 of shares in each company !

Shares in which I also failed to buy !
