SIR – THE General Election draws ever closer and the Labour Party propaganda grows evermore romantically stupid! Ed Miliband and Ed Balls compete to issue ludicrous statements, each claim the Conservative corrections to the economy will take the country back to the level of the 1930s.

In 2010 the Labour Party left the country on the edge of bankruptcy forcing its successors to sort out the financial mess, even after five years the job is only half completed.

Back in 1930 children left school at 14, the NHS had not even been thought of, do these desperate senior socialists believe anybody but their own brainwashed supporters will believe a word they say? This leaves 80 percent of the country mocking them.

Let us take the size of the UK economy in 1932, historical records show public expenditure was £1.8 billion, in today’s value, £83 billion. The Coalition Government’s current spending target is £731 billion, do even the politically blind far left give any credence to the mystical mutterings of Miliband and Balls? How unsuitable the pair are to hold the keys to number 10 and 11 Downing Street.
