Hmmmmm! Disingenuous to a fault Ian. I can go along with this - 'not my fault guv', line from the tories to some small extent. But bad stuff happens too regularly under the tories for it to be a coincidence.

Since the last election in North Notts. The handicruiser bus has been scrapped. We used to take our arthritis support group for holidays and days out in this. We can't afford private stuff. The Dallas Streeet Centre has been closed. This provided respite for carers by giving a day centre for people to go to. Also we had our meetings there. The only other places we can get are church hall type venues that have bans on us running raffles to raise funds.

The trouble stems from the tory insistence on everything being market led. And every time money comes into the equation - corruption seems to come seamlessly in its wake. How else have we ended up with the main entrance to Kings Mill Hospital being built on a hill. Just watch elderly men like myself with heart conditions trying to push their wives in wheel chairs up a steep incline to access the hospital. Bloody ridiculous!

I don't think tories sre evil. my favourite aunt was a tory councillor for years. But she was a one nation tory - before the shopping basket tories, who knew the price of everything and the value of nothing, took over that party.
