What the tories did? Free market reform? The type of reform that leaves the country better able to respond to Globalisation (unlike the countries of Italy and Germany who are quite ****ed at the moment) leading to better standard of living for those in the country.

Wait a second i'm pretty sure this is the result of the work the tories did in the 80's that you just lambasted them for.

I went to NI in the mid 90s and it was a hostile place. Belfast is a changed city now (sure it has issues, but what city doesn't). The people of Northern Ireland are voting in their government and for the first time power sharing is occuring between the two parties (ie Catholics and Protestants coming together to work for one goal, although we will see if this works).

You're correct, Northern Ireland was all down to Labour! Alternatively it took some brave work by the tories to open discussion (
some background info for you).
In short Pig please stop being so ****ing ignorant.
