Dear Editor
When voting on June 8th everyone should remember that many things we take for granted had to be struggled for by ordinary people. The formation of our NHS. The reduction of the working week to 5 days. The entitlement to paid annual leave. The entitlement to sick pay. Health and Safety at Work Act.
These and many others were put into place by a Labour Government campaigned for by the Labour Movement, Trade Unions and Cooperatives.
All these improvements were made in spite of fierce opposition by the Conservatives.
We now have had 7 years of Tory control making drastic cuts not only in the value of our wages but also on the many services that are essential to most people. The Tories have said they intend to continue making cuts over the next 5 years if elected. Even our NHS on which at times we all rely is being ground down in many ways.
We must ensure on June 8th the Tories get the message: You are not wanted, we have had enough of cuts.
