(I stole this from Facebook and don't agree with all of the points - I will never have an issue with immigration - but it makes interesting reading...)
The 20 reasons to vote Labour out in the most important election ever!
1) Violent crime has sky-rocketed under Labour. It has more than doubled! You're now more likely to be mugged or violently attacked in London than in New York. There were 1.2 million violent crimes reported in 2006 alone!!
2) The National Debt under Brown has doubled! That means that anything they claim to have done which is positive has actually only been achieved because they've spent money we don't have as a country, and now we're suffering for it in the economic crisis. Imagine I told you to trust me with your finances and that I'd give you a better quality of life. So I take out a credit card on your name and start buying cars, yachts, houses, etc, with money you don't have. What happens when the bank wants it's money back? You'll suffer! That's what Labour have done to us.
3) Labour have allowed immigration to become uncontrolled and out of hand, placing a large strain on the public sector When Brown was questioned about this by one of his own supporters, he called her a "bigot", showing how out of touch they are with the public.
4) Labour has made us into a "Nanny-State" - introducting notions to take away our political freedoms, such as the ID card scheme (which does not work!). People died for us to be able to enjoy these freedoms and Labour have thrown them away.
5) Labour has turned it's back on the working-class, the people they are supposed to represent, in various ways - raising council tax for those that aren't in financial position to pay it, introducing university top up fees, withdrawing £28m in Freedom Passes which allow free travel on public transport for pensioners, etc.
6) Brown wanted to remove tax relief for employer-based childcare vouchers, which save parents thousands of pounds a year.
7) "Homes" have become unaffordable for first time buyers under Brown
8) Labour has been "in-bed" with many of the bankers that contributed to out credit crisis. Brown enabled a bail out of the banks but has also allowed those banks to make huge profits since then, announcing record bonuses in the process. All that while regular people struggle to make ends meet.
9) Over 40% of 11 year olds can't read, write or show basic maths skills when they leave primary school!
10) The NHS is forecasting a gross defecit of £883m this year.
11) Our troops have been sent to war, and continue to be sent to war, WITHOUT THE PROPER EQUIPMENT! This has led to countless deaths!
12) Carbon Emissions have been rising for the 2nd year in a row!
13) There are almost 1 million people unemployed in the UK and on benefits - the highest since 2001
14) Over 1.2 million young people are unemployed and not in education.
15) Child Poverty - over half of inner-city kids live below the poverty line!
16) Over 2 million pensioners live in poverty and they have to make decisions like, "do I stay warm in the winter by putting the heating on, or should I pay for my medicines?" They can't afford both!
17) NHS waiting lists - Over 1 million people are currently waiting over a year for basic but vital diagnostic tests, such as MRI scans, CT scans, and hearing tests
18) 100,000 dentists have left the NHS since Labour came to power making it extremely difficult for people to get treatment on the NHS
19) Wasting tax payers' money - The ID card scheme may cost approx £20bn or more according to the London school of economics. It has been proved to fail in tackling the issues it's supposed to. That money would be better spent on the NHS and more police officers on the beat This £20bn is not included in the £90 billion that has been wasted by this government as proved by the Taxpayers Alliance.
20) Brown broke promises and denied the people a democratic voice when signing the EU treaty without a referendum
