Cameron: Labour has Widened Poverty Gap

Writing in the Guardian for an exclusive article on Tuesday 10th November, Tory leader David Cameron hit out at Labour's handling of the poverty problem in the UK.

Regularly referring to Labour's 'Big Government' approach, Cameron claims that as the state continued to expand under Labour since 1997, the state has become 'more, not less unfair'.

He also goes on to say that for the first time in 30 years, the gap between the richest and poorest is at its widest. This also with his apparent plans to give adults greater education later in life to support themselves and children a 'second chance' at education should they come from a more underpriveleged background.

Interesting words indeed from a Conservative leader...as it seems to be the case with Mr Cameron, we only hear words of criticism for what everybody else is doing wrong, and yet no suggestions as to how he will tackle the UK's biggest issues today.

It's all very well putting into fancy words about what we already know about what the Labour government has done wrong over the last 12 years, as indeed we know it has done some things wrong, but the British public is fed up of hearing what they know and it would seem that the (probably) incoming Conservative party will be one that we all know of the past. Mr Cameron will just adopt the policies of Tory, yes Tory Blair. If you sift through the comments on the article you can see what many people really think, with general agreement along the lines of "OK that's fine, but what are you going to do about it Mr Cameron?"

Tell me something new, Dave!
