People Have Short Memories

People have short memories.
But for those of us old enough to remember, the fear that existed among ordinary Britons the last time the Tories were in power can never be forgotten.
Divided communities, chronic unemployment, a crippling sense of hopelessness.
Interest rates doubled in one day to 15 per cent.
90,000 homes were repossessed.
More than three million people languished on the doll queues with no hope in sight.
The NHS was close to breaking point, hundreds of hospitals were closed down.
It was a government of self-interest.
Eighteen years of Tory rule created a society of haves and have-nots.
The result of those lost years was widespread civil disorder.

The biggest indicator that this is the same self-serving Tory party of old is that they are advocating cutting inheritance tax for 5,000 millionaires.
The Tories have given an idea of the services they will cut –
Children’s centres, care for old people, training and work schemes – services that Cameron and his rich mates may never have any use for but which have a major impact on the quality of life of millions of ordinary people.

David Cameron wants to be Prime Minister of this country with a huge influence over all our lives.
Yet he is still quite startlingly unknown and has never been in a ‘proper’ job.
Before he became leader of his party, he had held no office of state and had been in parliament for less than five years.
He arrived where he is now only because of his rich family connections.
He has no experience, no credibility, and will be a puppet for all the rich, greedy, selfish people in his midst.

The right to vote was something our forefathers had to fight for.
Don’t squander their legacy.
Vote for a party that will lead us safely out of this present recession, and one which cares for everyone in society – not just the privileged few.
