HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ENGLAND!

Tony Blair's New Year message to the people of England was to stop moaning as we live in a "prosperous" country and should be grateful for our jobs, healthservice etc. I'm not sure what planet he's living on. The thought of having to work until age 70+ before you can retire and draw state pension (as there is no pension money left in the pot!), leaves a sour taste in your mouth and doesn't bring the word, "prosperous" to mind. Neither does the thought of having to wait months for an operation on the cash-strapped National Health Service. Wake up Tony and see the problems that are facing the people of this country!
