IT took the Tories 18 years to ruin our coal industry, our iron and steel industry, textile mills and heavy manufacturing.
Along comes New Labour, under Tony Blair, and within five years the NHS and railways are a shambles, the fishing and farming industries have been ruined at the behest of his masters in Brussels, and our armed forces have to beg for fuel to run their vehicles. Yet we can spend the odd million or two researching how to provide ethnic meals to ethnic members of those armed forces.
Our police force was morally beaten by the MacPherson Report and the lack of support from Home Secretaries past and present and our immigration policy is a shambles.
Is it any wonder that even the Third World thinks we are a joke!
