NOW the truth is out, it can be revealed that the sole blame for the BSE and CJD, the human form of the disease, can now be placed on the Tories, with many more deaths in future years. Shame on them.

They have a lot to answer for, as people will never forget also the ruining of our railway network, which is a dangerous monstrosity, which John Prescott warned them about. I thought privatisation did away with the billions of pounds in subsidies; that was the idea, not having shareholders and the taxpayer paying. Then there is Margaret (Poll Tax) Thatcher. She also has a lot to answer for.
