No. It's not either prefectly [sic] or perfectly good English.
It is approximately comprehensible, but the grammar, spelling
and punctuation are all poor.

So said miss prissy pants!


Secondly, if so at fault, what would you middle class liberals write?


Middle class liberals, or indeed anybody else with even so much
as a basic education, would not write:
"The Labour party when they was in government ruined the NHS"

'The Labour party when they *were* in government ruined the NHS'
or
"The Labour party when *it* was in government ruined the NHS'

But not "it was"

HTH



Is that it?
