Still fooled by Labour?

On August 29 the Star printed three interesting letters from Doreen James, Lee Hull and Mary Lewis. All three correspondents appear to be floating high in Labour cloud cuckoo land.

Yes, Mrs James, we all know of the astronomical amounts of our money Gordon Brown has thrown at education and the NHS over the past l0 years, but please ask yourself why the improvements are so minimal.

Freshstart is not delivering the results promised, the writing and arithmetic skills of seven-year-olds has dropped by two per cent and there are still 48 per cent of children leaving school illiterate and innumerate. These are Government figures not mine.

Shiny new schools are no answer, the investment needs to be in teachers, discipline and morals.

Yes, Mark Pritchard may have got it wrong about the maternity unit, but it was only a short while ago that he led the fight against the downgrading of the A&E departments and it was the hard work of the Conservative Warren Hawkesley that resulted in the PRH being built in the first place.

Why should we believe any denials about proposed cuts or closures from Labour placement after they made thousands of highly qualified medical professionals redundant? Are you, Mary, Lee and Doreen still floating up there with Councillor Sahota in Labour heaven?
