This is Leicestershire

First George Osborne proposes savage cuts to the welfare system, then Michael Gove unveils cuts to education, and new Health Secretary Andrew Lansley plans to privatise the NHS by the back door. (Patients get your cheque books ready!).

No GP is going to be able to balance their hours as a doctor and as an NHS executive manager without having to outsource some services to the private sector.

Just what the Tories have in mind? I predict that the Tories and their Lib-Dem lapdogs will be out of office come the next General Election.

Anthony M Wallis, Stoneygate.

    “Reading todays posts from Peter West and David, Great Easton, leads me to think neither of them read the daily press or listen to the news on TV. It has been reported by both media that according to the Office for National Statistics, the economy grew by 1.1% in the quarter to June, way above the 0.6% predicted. Probably Peter and David are awaiting to hear the claim from George Osborne that this is due to action taken by the present Government and they'll no doubt be happy to believe that !”

    “With the National Debt standing at £890M no-one should be surprised at any cuts being announced.

    Thank Gordon 'Prudence' Brown for presiding over and leaving this counttry in such a financial mess.”
