In March last year when Gordon Brown as Chancellor announced the change from 22p to 20p as a tax base rate he did it for effect and to get a Labour cheer in the Commons.
He also set up a bed of nails for the new Chancellor Alistair Darling and set up future despair for many elderly and lower income workers by taking out the 10p entry band.
At the local elections I heard a number of people saying that they thought Labour was the party for the elderly and lower paid, but not any more.
Now Labour are trying to close the door after the horse has bolted in a vain attempt to get people on side before next Thursday's Election in Crewe and Nantwich.
The BBC have been talking to people in Crewe it makes fascinating viewing here.
