The Labour Government has dramatically increased the number of police officers. We have one in Peel and his name is PC Pearson. We never had a local bobby under the Tories.
However good or bad the Government has done, Britain and Hyndburn has benefited. New health centres, vastly redced waiting lists, better medicines and treatments available. Stable economy, growth rates the envy of europe. £millions pumped in to Hyndburn. Nearly every school with upgraded facilities, smaller class sizes, better childcare facilities.. Minimum wage for poor people. I am sure Greg could carry on the things that seem easily forgotten but have reallly made a difference to a lot of people.
I know if I was a Tory in opposition, I would see it as my duty to challange the Goverment at every point, point out what hasnt been done (dentists, media, efficient use of public money, PFI, wealth gap, means testing, pensions, religion, war etc..). Thats democracy, you will always have two lists. The dogmatic see one list, the open minded two.
