LAST week Terry Smith gave us a good round-up of the present government’s achievements (Letters, October 7).
It’s good to be reminded of success. I do think, however, there were one or two omissions. Can I therefore add to his list...
The Tories have increased the gap between the wealthy and the poor. They have created the need for food banks – something never seen since the war. They have privatised chunks of the NHS and have reintroduced into the NHS thea system where if you have money and can pay, you can go straight to the front of the queue.
Yes, the Tory achievements are extensive, but then let’s not forget the old Tory mantra – look after the greedy and spurn the needy.
There is something the electorate should never lose sight of – if the Tories win the next election, you can kiss goodbye to the NHS.
