I would like to see more of this myself and perhaps this would make people more engaged in politics generally and the political process.<br /><br />Praise over with - now I will get down to what I wanted to say. As you know I have been one of the main critics of Tory policy on this blog and do identify myself towards the left in a lot of regards.<br />I want to say something about Surestart centres. <br /><br />You accuse Labour of misinformation but people have a right to be worried about Surestart centres. People depend on all forms of public services, myself included. I value public services and believe it has been a post war British tradition that sadly historically was attacked by both Thatcher and Major. Cameron had to drag the Conservative party heels kicking from blatant indifference towards state intervention and public services. Hague & IDS embodied the old logic. It is in the public consciousness that public services was under attacked in the past and may well be in the future. The question where political differences come into it is whom do you believe the attack will originate? I feel its proponents on the Right who salivate at the prospect of cuts. Look at Norfolk County Council for evidence of this in operation. <br /><br />Is it rational for people to be worried about public service cuts? = my answer is simple. YES IT BLOODY WELL IS.Red Starnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-38378740702227048952010-04-14T19:03:47.037+01:002010-04-14T19:03:47.037+01:00You must have been in a different Eaton Village, A...You must have been in a different Eaton Village, Antony.
