Can I suggest you take another look at your information Gibbo, because your interpitation of the facts are some what different to what it actually says eg; look at the graph on house prices, highest under Thatcher, food banks 40% rise in a 6 year period under Labour over double that in a 2 year period under the coalition,it also explains how the percentage growth is misleading, thats why governments use percentages because they can be manipulated to tell different stories, no time for Labour but even less for the Tories, bad vindictive people, in the paper today, ex tory David Mellor (model humper)making vile and derogatory comments to working class people,that train of thought is in bred, glad I would never have to share a lifeboat with any of them.

The visual graphs speak for themselves. If you can't see a steeper and shorter line between Blair and Brown then that's not my problem. My house jumped up in value from £59,000 when I bought it in 2000 to £170,000 by 2007.

Did you read further down the page Gibbo, house prices rose 10% under a Labour government overall and 19% under the Conservatives, I think that says it all.

No it doesn't because you only chose to quote part of it. You conveniently missed off although the Conservatives have had Prime Ministers for roughly 26 of the years since 1970, with Labour racking up 18 years. Even if you refuse to or can't comprehend the steeper line of the graph, the figures below say it all: 1990 - 1997 John Major - Conservative Years in power: Seven Average property value at start: £59,587
Average property value at end: £55,169Difference: -£4,418 Average increase per year: -£631 Annualised return: -1% 1997 – 2007 Tony Blair – Labour Years in power: Ten Average property value at start: £55,810
Average property value at end: £172,065
Difference: £116,255 Average increase per year: £11,626 Annualised return: 12%

It appears to be quite straitforward and plain which ever way you want to cut it 10% 19% with the respective governments, I see you "conveniently" chose Major with the lowest % the pot calling the kettle
