Think again Big Dave

Jul 2 2009

Sir, So, Big Dave is no longer going to vote Labour. Quite frankly in view of some of the recent outbursts I doubt if he ever has, but here goes. I would remind him of some of the many things Labour has done for the ordinary person.

The minimum wage, equal opportunities legislation and increased expenditure on the NHS.

For pensioners – Pension Credit, free bus passes, free eye tests, generous Winter Fuel Payments, free national bus passes and free TV licences for those over certain age.

For parents – increased nursery provision, the Sure Start schemes and more money for education, including improvements in buildings. I could go on, but surely the above is sufficient to make Big Dave think again?
