I HAVE just had the luck of spending four weeks in three of the Euro nations who have agreed to a united Europe and to the new Euro.

While I was writing a book entitled My 50 years in the Labour party, which I am hoping will be on sale next year, I listened to the radio to the speech of Gordon Brown, regarding the economy of this country and the promise made to pensioners, as they should be on not less than £90 per week. The following day, I sat on the same spot at the Mincio Park and again picked up the Labour Conference and Tony Blair giving the best speech ever made since the good old days of Harold Wilson. This speech was brilliant enough to convince the electors of this country that Labour politicians are the right ones to run Britain for ever, in comparison to that other lot headed by that 14-pint lad who can never give the right answer to anybody.

The same lad, the leader of the Tory party, bragging that half of Denmark have voted against the Euro. That leader should listen to Ted Heath and Michael Heseltine, both of these senior Tories warned William Hague that his extremist policies will cost the party the next General Election. William Hague should spend some time in the Euro states and see the difference in their improvement with their industries. These Tories tell us that in Europe there is unemployment. My foot! My people all run businesses and most of them are looking for whom they may employ with the amount of refugees that they can trust. Their roads are over crowded with large lorries and their railways far busier than ours during the day and during the night.

Last day I was back in Italy and went to see a double arena circus, where even a large group of clowns were taking fun of a bunch of Tory anti-Euros who ran out of pounds and had to get a job in order to survive. Today, I am back here, watching that big bunch of desperate Tories once again, that could never achieve in almost 20 years that they were in power once before, all pensioners should remember this. Free television licences for the over 75, free eye tests, £150 towards winter fuel, plus the usual £10, an increase in pension soon, but NOT for the rich, etc.

So for Pete's sake don't trust them. Let the present bunch carry on.
