IT'S thanks to the inactivity of the Tory Party over the last 18 years, that the former Prisoners of War in Japanese hands have recently received their just deserves from a Labour Government after a few short years -- not from the Japanese.
Brian Iddon, our local MP, has played a large part in negotiating. He was lobbied by the late Captain Bill Harris on behalf of the PoWs. I only hope he is remembered for this, for helping to bring this about and in achieving something the Tories couldn't do.
