What a truly inspiring day it was in London for the Olympic Parade on September 10 – a magnificent display of happiness and pride in our country which will live long in the memory of all proud Britons.

Compare this with the rantings and pure selfish nastiness of the trade union fat cats and bullies at their annual conference held over the same period and going into last week.

Where were they when their Labour Party comrades were causing the financial mess the present Government now has to try to rectify?

We will not be intimidated by them or their threats. Let’s pull in our belts and be proud of our country.
