A RECENT letter from Terry Smith told us the Tories are making Britain ‘great’.
I agree: I offer some examples.
The NHS: this has probably never been in a more parlous state since its initiation, starved of cash (we’ll do anything but put up contributions) and medically understaffed.
The roads: in the worst state since the war. I recall in the late 1940s cycling to work - there were not the potholes to fall into that we have nowadays.
Public transport: Tory privatisation has given us a culture of profit before service. Overcrowding on many trains is outrageous.
Windrush: the great public shame.
So there you have it - four of the Tories’ ‘greats’.
Take off those rose-tinted spectacles, Terry, and see it as it is.
