ALL right-minded people of this once great country of ours are wringing their hands in total despair at the incompetence of this Government and its predecessors.

Just before the last election I said that, although we were a democracy, it was in name only, as since 1997 those elected have completely ignored the wishes of the majority of the electorate.

Although the economy was in a reasonable state then, with steady growth and reasonable unemployment and borrowing, the Tories were a bit tired and devoid of new ideas.

Labour came to power with Tony Blair’s signature tune Things Can Only Get Better.

How we were fooled. Immediately Gordon Brown as Chancellor started to dismantle Britain plc. He destroyed the private pension by removing tax relief.

He then sold off our gold reserves and on top of that deregulated the Bank of England.

In the meantime Mr Blair was having his proudest moment by embodying in our law the European human rights legislation.

He opened the floodgates to immigration and among the thousands of genuine hard-working immigrants were a number of people whose sole intent was to cause harm and death to our population.

Blair then jumped ship. They made him Middle East peace envoy. What a cracking job he has made.

Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria up in flames and not one policy on the table to bring things to a halt.

In 2010 David Cameron was not able to obtain an overall majority for the Tories.

And since then it has been one disaster after another.
