Blair not the only one looking for a legacy

VFTN apologises for his long absence but is back with news of this pamphlet from David Blunkett and Unison trying to encourage people to put a new context on the New Labour record by encouraging people to remember how terrible life was before 1997.
The "analysis" in this pamphlet involves the collation of a bunch of negative headlines about public services before 1997 and then DB's analysis of how New Labour put them right.
It is hard to know what is more nauseating. The fact that Blunkett is still fighting the battles of a decade ago or that, despite its protestations, New Labour is still more interested in newspaper headlines than what real people actually think.
