SIR – I have to smile at the letter from a Mr Shearon (November 18).

To try to justify this government by showing an example of Tory finances is a bit rich. Like Mr Shearon I will give a list of Labour mis-management.

The destruction of Royal Mail, the destruction of the post offices, PFI hospitals which our children will be paying for in years to come, the decimation of NHS staff and privatisation of services, the destruction of the family unit, the demoralisation of the police force, the closure and amalgamation of fire stations and control rooms and many more.

M SWIERS, Worcester.
