Link didn't work for me, but I imagine from 1948...

Investing money in improving people's health now through the new NHS will same us money in the long run as diseases are eradicated and people become healthier.

Tee hee hee.

It was when the shysters could use BT 0844 numbers for their surgeries... then they got a cut of the call charges.

"We shall urgently put measures in place to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again"
Social Services and Child Protection, Banks, assorted miscarriages of Justice, medical snafus, abuse in care homes and so it goes on.

>> "They all sound like that, John. Nothing to worry about".

Ha ha. Reminds me of viewing a mk2 Astra GTE at a small used car lot back in the mid 90's. I remember the Frank Butcher clone dealer (right down to the cockney accent, sovereign rings, enormous tinted glasses and sheepskin coat) firing the thing up to a cacophony of clattering and tapping from the top end. He clearly clocked my horrified expression, looked me straight in the eye and said:

"That's owight my san, been sittin' innit. Just let the oil get raaaaahnd. That's all it is, let the oil get raaaaahnd."

Best part of 20 years later, my mates and I still use "let the oil get raaaahnd" when confronted by a sick sounding engine. :-)

'We will cut prices at a stroke'

Or Only Fools and Horses, 1983. I didn't know about Heath, and I wonder if the quotation was intentional.

No, Climate change as they now call it is just a taxation con. The climate has always changed and our contribution is insignificant compared to a major volcanic event, or an asteroid hit. Real climate change will wipe out humans very rapidly. Even the reversal of the earth's magnetic field (which is overdue) will have an effect.

Of course I love you.

Of course I'll respect you in the morning.

There are WMD in Iraq.

There are intelligent politicians who do not lie.

Gordon Brown could fill a thread of his own:

"I will not allow house prices to get out of control and put at risk the sustainability of the recovery.” in 1997

"The tax burden for ordinary families, for lower and middle-income families is
coming down, it’s coming down this year, it’s going to come down next year, it’s
actually going to be the lowest tax burden since 1972" in 2000

"Tony Blair is my friend" in 2006.
