LIBDEMS U-TURNS

LIBDEMS U-TURNS
A blog to voters by Paul Collins Labour Candidate for Chalgrove
 I watched the Election Roadshow with Lembit Opik on BBC2 this afternoon - 28 April.
A woman from Liverpool said that Lib-Dem national policy for the NHS is free to the point of care. Yet, she pointed out that Liverpool City Council (Lib-Dem controlled) has made cuts in care for the elderly. They have also introduced charges.
 A trainee doctor said that she is actually in favour of top-up fees because she doesn’t see why the taxpayer should pay for it.
It might be worth pointing out to students, that although the Tories have pledged to scrap top-up fees, they will replace them with loans that have a commercial rate of interest.
If we don’t have fees, universities will just recruit foreign students, as they have to pay the full rate.
Iraq
Everyone seems to think that the Lib-Dems were opposed to the war from the start. This is not the case. Before the war started, they were skeptical but not against it.
I remember when Charles Kennedy went on an anti war march effectively without having an anti war policy.
Missing million
 On the back of our county manifesto, there is a paragraph referring to an unknown bank account with £1 million.
A few years ago my transport to and from College was paid by Social Services.
One year I had a situation where I got accepted for another College course but Social Services could no longer fund my transport.
If this £1 million was available at the time, I might have been able to go College for another year.

Voting Tory is like going back to the days of high unemployment,

Voting Tory is like going back to the days of high unemployment, house repossessions, and high interest rates. We can not go back to the bad old days of the Tory 1990’s’.

Boris as Homer

Boris reminds me of Homer Simpson and Howard of Mr. Burns as for the others, any ideas?

Al this chat about housing and transport as if they were separate items is nonsense. They are inseparable in most cases. Take Watlington for example. In a large secondary school, there are teachers who can't find anywhere to live in the immediate area which is affordable, so they have to commute from the Oxford area. They'll be lucky to get anywhere suitable anyway. All the villages have clammed up and the parish ciouncils say " There is no demand in this area". What nonense- and the structure pan doesn't help. So thay have to use their own cars, as public transport doesn't seem to include Watlington in the Oxford timetable. Look at that as well.
Come on parish councils. You have plenty of space and it's not difficult to find the need.
