I'm fed up with all the letters slagging off Conservatives.

I voted Labour in 1979 because I feared what Margaret Thatcher would do to us. At the time, I was a council tenant working in a factory.

Then Mrs Thatcher allowed me to buy my home. I had a difficulty making ends meet but somehow we did it. We bought our council home.

Today, I have no mortgage, live in a lovely home in Kemp Town and have the security of knowing it's mine for life.

I have voted Conservative ever since - I owe my security to them.

Now we have Tony Blair who wants to take away the right to buy from council residents, while he enjoys homes in Downing Street and at Chequers, as well as in his constituency.

What a hypocrite.
