You may struggle to believe it (having been fed the nasty Tories dogma for so long) but by far the greatest part of Conservatives' energies and aspirations are in relation to the condition of the poor. Fact. But I am wasting my "breath" I know..<br />* Labour "achieved lots"... ?? Did it? Did the gap between rich & poor radically shrink? Did it raise all those children out of poverty as promised (rather than just fiddling with the measures!). Is the NHS more caring and well-run? Did Britain not slip down the world's education rankings?? Hmmmm. Spent all the cash though. Cheers!<br />* £millions of public monies on yacht is a lie. Read Hansard. Bet Prescott wouldn't mind if built in his local shipyards!<br />* £millions on u-turns? Haven't they (i.e. defence) been in order to save money in the long-term. Your party seems so incapable of long-term and just knee-jerks to public opinion and union pressures etc...<br />* "wishes to privatise"..NHS. NO NO NO. MORE LABOUR B****Y LIES & DECEIT !! Only the very stupid actually believe this crock of.. anymore!<br /><br />Hopefully you have moved a little to the Left - it will consign you to the political wilderness. Fantastic that so many of you don't get it, but also depressing as so many, like you, are thoroughly decent people. The Left's propaganda machine has much to answer for. <br /><br />Finally, to Mr Bozier himself. I don't know him, never met him or heard of him. My suspicion is that this is about his career and self-promotion. Apologies to him if this is not the case. Certainly I do not wish to see him at the heart of our movement - I sense that he belongs in the same group as Coulson and should be treated at arms' length!Stephen R Hilliernoreply@blogger.com
