VOTERS will struggle between conscience and common sense on May 5, but if commonsense prevails Tony Blair will be the Opposition leader, not the Prime Minister.
Who will cast a vote for a man who lied to the people of this country about the Iraq war to appease the president of the United States of America?
A man who has failed in eight years of government to deliver the promises he made in his 1997 manifesto?
We have higher taxation, lower tangible income, poorer pensioners, long National Health waiting lists, dirty hospitals festering with disease, a shortage of doctors and nurses, a failing education system, not enough teachers and many of those we have are abused, unpunished disruptive pupils and increasing crime.
We have a judicial system that is farcical for favouring criminals not victims under a system which should have been reformed.
Our immigration and asylum rules are in tatters, we have unregistered immigrants living all over Britain from all types of unvetted backgrounds on Government handouts - housed, clothed and fed. If the boot were on the other foot, would we be treated the same if we emmigrated to their countries? I think not.
Where else in the world can one live for free and take advantage of free health care and handouts? Tell me and I shall be one of the first to depart.
