    Yesterday my Son helped me to sort out the loft space .Boxes and boxes of photos ,Cards ,Letters and most interestingly old press cuttings .These go back to the Seventies .
    I must say the foremat of The Dover Express was much better then and not so many adverts .
    One particular newspaper October 2002 when Labour were in control at DDC .Very very interesting .Even Vic is mentioned .Photo of our Keith looking very important on the stage of Dover Town Hall
    2002 when Labour wanted to impose 3million cuts over three years .They announced cuts which were a big con and they never intended to introduce them any way .
    I was Chairman of Scrutiny at that time and the scrutiny of the buget took a very long time
    When the Conservatives left office in 1993 there was 7million in reserves .
    The Labour group went on to make sweeping staff cuts
    Why do i talk about this now you mught ask ??Well you have to have a long memory in politics .
    Im not a Right wing Tory and have always fought for the under dog however as has been proved whether at local or national level the Conservatives manage budgets well .
    If the last Labour Government had not increased the national debt we would not be facing the drastic decisions which we are faced with today .
    I recommend a brouse through old newspapers.
    My memory has not gone yet . . .
