  1. 95% of things based on new labour lies. Please people prove me wrong.
  2. Britain's involvement in Afghanistan Brown taking over, all the various balls ups of his administration thus far. You can include the credit crunch2007-present, either as a single item or break it down into pieces, starting with Northern Rock, Halifax bank of Scotland, and so on. Local council elections in 2008, labour gets drubbed and Boris Johnson becomes New mayor of London. Collapse of Woolworth's maybe, will impact a lot of high streets There was the hunting ban in there somewhere as well, maybe 2007 but not sure
