"A Future Fare for All" - and we shall all be paying it for years to come! 

​

February 20th 2010

North Thanet's veteran Tory MP Roger Gale has this (Saturday) morning derided the Labour Party's new campaign slogan launch as mis-spelt!
 
Speaking at a meeting in Margate the MP said:
 
"It ought to read ` A future Fare for All` because that would be more honest.  The "fare" for Labour`s failure is going to be paid by my constituents and their children and their grandchildren for years to come and I regard this gimmick as a spectacular own-goal.
 
It is not remotely surprising that the Prime Minister is now trying to air-brush his record out of the picture and to try to campaign upon some blue-sky dewy-eyed future instead of his record:  I cannot imagine any politician of any party wanting to campaign to seek re-election on Gordon Brown`s performance as either Chancellor or as Prime Minister.
 
Unfortunately for him, however, public memories are neither as short or as pliable as his advisers appear to think.  He is in a hole and today he is taking another massive shovelful downwards.
 
Like South Eastern Railways and the Secretary of State for Transport, under Labour, fares keep going up - and Brown's "fair" is no fun for those paying the bill"
