anyone who supports civil liberties / human rights (expect increased 'terror' powers that erode things like the right to silence etc.)
just a few for starters.
Now I am not having that, Labours record on this is apalling :eek:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

who will lose out?
anyone relying on the NHS, including those using it for maternity services etc.
anyone relying on state education for their children.
anyone on a low wage who relies on the minimum wage legislation and it keeping in line with inflation.

just a few for starters.
Maternity services are understaffed now. Labour wants 50K target managers in hospital not midwifes.
State education - did you see channel 4 dispatches the other week about the standard of maths teaching in primary schools. It is a scandal that primary school teachers can not pass sats exams designed for 8 year olds.
Minimum wage - why did labour ship in 2 million immigrants that will work for peanutsif they were concerned with wages for the low paid?
Civil liberites - CCTV, 42 day detention, ID cards, DNA database for innocent people, Labour are worse than Stalin.0 -

The Tories are not going to privatise the NHS, get real, they know it would cost them the public's support.
Anyone relying on state education for their children might be upset by Labour's announced £1 billion higher education cut and plan to cut £2 billion from schools from 2011.
Anyone who supports civil liberties might have noticed that New Labour has abolished most of them. The various anti-terrorism laws which let the government do what ever it wants? Having the most CCTV cameras per capita in the world? Tony Blair's proposal for police powers to imprison for 96 days without trial? Leading the country to war on a fraudulent basis?
Anyone relying on a low wage might be upset by Labour's huge NI hike from 2011.
If you've done the arithmetic on how much debt this country is in, you'll realise that huge cuts are inevitable, whoever wins.0 -

Yeah right, so why have they tried to close either Eastbourne or Hastings maternity units?.This means mums to be can have a 1hr (minimum) journey to a maternity unit.
Credit where credit is due, Nu Labour poured £billions into the NHS but was it really value for money? not in my opinion.Take for instance the contracts given to GP,s.Many saw their incomes double overnight with the deal being they would be more flexible with surgery times etc.I'm afraid to say this didn't happen at all in my area.You can still wait 3-4 days for an appointment.
I would also point out the dabacle which is NHS dentistry,many of who will not even entertain NHS patients.Oh and theres also the old SEDOC out of hours GP service which is a pathetic shadow of a service it was 5yrs ago and as for employing foreign doctors who don't even speak English is beyond the pale.....
I could go on............and on...and on...........
We have a love of the NHS because of its "free at the point of need" appeal but we expect far too much from it ,such as breast enlargements for women who feel "small".Im all for women getting breast reconstruction following cancer but not purely for looks and the "emotional scar" of being small up top.
Ninky ,you been abducted by aliens for the last 12 yrs??.If so, nice to have you back.0 -
