I SEE our distinguished ex-mayor has no wish to see a repeat of Howards Way. Let's review a programme that has been running since 1997, it is called Blair's Way.
It started with a programme that said no tax increases, then proceeded to introduce 66 stealth taxes. One increased council tax on average by 70 per cent since 1997.
There was a £5 billion raid on pension funds, 65,000 people lost their savings in pension schemes that were wound up. There has been an increase of 600,000 jobs in the public sector at taxpayers' expense.
We have lost control of immigration, allowing the country to be flooded by illegal immigrants instead of genuine asylum seekers.
We are being bulldozed into a European super state so I shall be changing channels when I can.
