For those with the courage to watch, this YouTube link is to the a Labour party political broadcast from 1993.
The promises are unambiguous. Tax dodges would be closed and Labour would help real business.
In truth, some dodges have closed. Some marks have to be awarded for effort. But the fact is that domicile rule is still with us, and the Labour Party in power is committed to helping big business dodge VAT using tax havens whilst small business in the UK suffers from abuse of a tax dodge.
Assessed candidly, if this advert reflected their thinking, then Labour have not delivered. That's profoundly disappointing.

The irony is that the video’s punchline is as true today as it was in 1993.
