A shiver went up my spine yesterday afternoon when I came across a list of one hundred cuts the Conservatives would make in local government services. Some of the suggestions would take us back to Victorian Britain, such as the ludicrous idea of sending children in care to boarding school - visions of Oliver Twist came into my mind. A full list of the cuts can be found at the following link:

After reading the full list I was reminded of why I am standing as Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Worthing West at the next general election. I believe in fairness and opportunity for all. This list of cuts just reconfirms that a Conservative Government would take Britain backwards, not forwards. There is much at risk from a potential Prime Minister in David Cameron. The choice is firmly in the hands of the electorate. It is crucial that David Cameron is never given a chance to get the keys to 10 Downing Street.
