Probably went on sooner, but that was the stand out moment for me.

| Was that the first time it happened then or is there a long history of that sort of thing? I know parties will always attack each others policies, but that was the first time I noticed them basing their election campaign on ‘they’re sh!t so vote for us’.
Just seemed weird to me that it’s seen as better to attack the opposition rather than promote yourself.

What about 1979's 'Labour isn't working' posters? Attacking the opposition. | |

Dave Vessey laying down some serious truth.
Plus if you actually look at what Brown announced, 500 of those troops are already home, and the other 500 haven't even gone to Iraq yet.
Add to that the fact that Brown promised to make announcements to Parliament, and you see what a lie his "moral compass" is.
