Britain must not journey back to the past on May 6th
There has been much negative campaigning in the British General Election and playing the blame game on the past. Politics is a bit like running a restaurant – because people can cook their one dish they then think they can run their own place. However as many have found out reality is a harsh teacher.
The contrast between this global recession and the early Nineties is graphic. Then mortgages were at 14.6% and the then Chancellor, the lamentable Norman Lamont said unemployment was a “price well worth paying.” His “special advisor” was one David Cameron who was with him when he led the country into the unmitigated disaster of Black Wednesday.
The last time the Stockbroker's son got near the economy
The Conservatives are now headed by a troika of Old Etonians, Dave Cameron, Gideon Osborne & Boris Johnson, and with their MP’s being 64% the product of private schools The Tory Boys and Gals want to play Tuck Shop with the country again. This is no time to let amateurs born with silver spoons learn on the job while looking after their “own kind” and playing PR lip service to a “Big Society” – at the back of it all are the Thatcherites who still believe there is no such thing as Society!
Even Sir Reginald Sheffield’s photogenic daughter does not make the Tories an electable government. We all remember the dark days under Thatcher. In fact, we remember them every day - because years later, so many hard-working British families are still trying to recover from the days of Tory control. We cannot afford to let history repeat itself, and to allow David Cameron to destroy the great progress we've made. Let us not forget the loss of homes, the unemployment, the division, the destruction of the NHS and Education, the Poll Tax and the arrogance towards the “little people” – You know the ones who actually pay tax? Vote to Slam Cam!
Kathryn White
I’m supporting Kathryn White as Labour candidate for Aylesbury. She'll make an excellent MP and shake up the smug Conservative / Lib Dem cartel locally.

She is a local person who was born and bred in Aylesbury and wants the best for the constituency. She is standing to represent local people from her home area and to give a voice to the majority who are sick of being ignored by the local Tory and Lib Dem cartel.
Whether it is early years’ education, healthcare, social housing or pensioner support, the work Labour has done in the past 13 years has helped make our country a better place. That is the Britain we’ve been building together - the change we see all around us.
Together we have introduced the National Minimum Wage and achieved the shortest waiting times since NHS records began, brought in the first ever legally binding targets to reduce carbon emissions and now have over 44,000 more doctors and 89,000 more nurses than in 1997. This is just some of what Labour has been able to achieve so far with your support but there is more to do. Only one party in this election has the moral purpose to deliver for ordinary people – The Party which was set up to protect honest people who rely on their Labour, not the spivs, not the toffs with their sense of entitlement, not those who live off the labour of others.
The economy is growing. Stick with the economic recovery - vote Labour on May 6th.

LATEST NEWS: The International Monetary Fund support Labour's economic plans for 2010 and also oppose tackling the deficit before 2011: "In most advanced economies, fiscal and monetary policies should maintain a supportive thrust in 2010 to sustain growth and employment. Regarding the near term, given the fragile recovery, fiscal stimulus planned for 2010 should be fully implemented". Read more

This isn't a page created from political bias, using misleading statements in a bid to score points. It's a page based on facts. Please read below and follow the link at the bottom of this page for more information.
David Cameron, George Osborne and the Tories opposed every Labour Party measure which has seen the economy grow. Cameron and Osborne were wrong. They'll be wrong again. Don't allow the Tories to ruin the road to recovery.
"We opposed the £12 billion Labour wasted on the VAT cut. We were against the fiscal stimulus".
- David Cameron, Apr 2009.
David Cameron, George Osborne and the Tories opposed the fiscal stimulus and a cut in VAT. These measures were put in place by Labour and thanks to these measures, the economy is now growing, unemployment is falling.
There's one clear message: Labour policy is working. Let's not risk the recovery with the Tories who have opposed every measure which has seen the economy grow.
Vote Labour on May 6th - stick with the recovery.
Here are the facts of how Cameron opposed the stimulus, how they'll cut now when the economy needs it most and how their policies go against the advice of experts
