With Labour's propaganda machine in feverish overdrive, election bribes and gimmicks are now raining down on us like pennies from heaven. What we do not hear is that Labour has increased the tax burden from 37.6 per cent of GDP in 1996/97 to 40 per cent
My wife and I are pensioners and our car broke down on the A27 near Worthing on Boxing Day, near the brow of a hill - a most dangerous place. My wife quickly began to feel the effects of the severe cold and we felt there was no alternative but to ring
