IF we value and treasure our NHS, we must prevent the return to power of the band of cut-throat highwaymen who have caused untold misery to a large section of people in this country and who are hell-bent on privatising our beloved NHS which belongs to us and not to private insurance companies!

If they do succeed in gaining power again, there will still be more misery and suffering inflicted upon us.

The Tories keep on hankering about the "deficit" that the previous Labour Government had left them.

They fail to mention that a lot of the financial crises was caused by the big banks – who still get large bonuses, while we are constantly told to "tighten our belts".

So come on voters; go to the polls on May 7 and vote Labour!

Remember also that if you don't vote or you vote for other parties, then your vote becomes a Tory vote.
