Vandalism and Arrogance
14-Apr-04, Windsor Observer.

"For me the word vandalism conjures images of graffiti, criminal damage and uncontrolled anti-social behaviour.

This is probably because of the car crime around St Marks Place, the anti-social behaviour near Fernbank Road, and the graffiti and noise nuisance around Martin’s Heron.

But the vandalism I refer is less obvious.

It is this Labour Government’s brutal attack on our nation.

A small group of Labour and Liberal politicians seem intent on smashing up what has worked well for so many years.

Naturally some carefully controlled change may be required in some areas, but not radical change for changes sake.

They have daubed graffiti on the House of Lords that says ‘this is rubbish’, but have no idea what to replace it with. We are left with a messy and violated halfway house.

They have broken up the UK with devolution. Scots can vote on English laws, but the English cannot vote of Scottish laws!

They want to hand over the stolen deeds to the UK, by signing a new EU Constitution; Giving control of our nation to others, without asking.

They have unlocked our doors to uncontrolled immigration which makes us feel anxious, insecure and undermines our wellbeing.

So why are they doing these things?

Well perhaps, like hooligans, their actions are mindless and emotionally driven. Whatever the reason, we must stop this unnecessary vandalism and arrogance with zero tolerance at the next election."
