WHY is Blair and Kennedy jumping up and down with irritation having read the Conservative manifesto, instead of spending the time expounding their own? Is it because, they are thinking what we are thinking? Personally I prefer the Conservative policies to their own respective ones. Less waste; better, cleaner hospitals; less taxes a better Britain; oh yes and more importantly better immigration controls; who wouldn't.
