SIR – At last, Labour’s true intentions for this country are being revealed to the general public, if not to Labour MPs or the unions – yet – and they do not sound very appetising to someone like me, ie old enough to remember many of Labour’s past mistakes which without exception have left this country virtually bankrupt before people woke up to reality and kicked them out, again.

Because it’s the same old story of proposed ‘nationalisation’ or rigid state control of everything under the sun, eg rent you pay, the food you eat or what you drink.

This ultra left-wing ideology is just what author George Orwell warned us all about many years ago in books such as Animal Farm or 1984, only this time the Big Brother controlling you would be Labour.

The tragedy being that history within the living memory of many here today who saw such plans unfold then fail miserably before Ed Milliband was born, are being repeated today just across the Channel in France under their crackpot ‘socialist’ Government to the ruin of that economy!

I don’t know what the other parties have planned for next time, but Labour is a waste of time.
