I am astonished about all the debate about who should take part in a pre election leaders debate. No wonder people get turned off politics. The electorate want to hear what each party has to say so they should all be included if indeed they are a main party. There can be no doubt that … Continue reading

Hospital A&E capacity crisis

No organisation puts in place capacity to manage every possible spike as it would be very expensive. However, things are different these days. I believe that a large number of patients are being … Continue reading
Golf – the new politics

“Labour is the real nasty party”
Interesting piece by Kavanagh of The Sun. I can remember the pain the unions caused to everyone, the old, the sick and the young alike. We must never forget. “WHO divided Britain? Was it Margaret Thatcher, who inherited a country split asunder by sullen strikers who refused to bury the dead or clear the garbage? … Continue reading
Conservative campaign for the county elections – fantastic so far.
I’m getting lots of very positive messages from Conservative candidates from all over the county. Feedback from canvassing is really good.

The Conservative vote is holding up and if … Continue reading
