So here’s my opinion.. on this letter I received through the post from labour.
This is the letter..
Now for my opinion..
•Minimum wage raise to £10 PH. If I were to hire staff at £10 per hour I would be paying the staff more than I earn an hour! How many small business could afford this? They would have to dismiss their workers and cut their business back to make any form of profit. This would then result in a rise of unemployment.
• NHS. Where is this money coming from? Some hospitals are beyond repair and are continuing to cost the NHS billions in maintaining them! Wouldn’t it be better to cut the losses and look at a new solution to this problem? A solution like what conservatives are offering! Part privatisation is not suggesting you’ll be paying for your NHS care! It is offering financial help for the core of the NHS! Better paid jobs for those that are effected by the changes! A more efficient long term plan for the NHS! It’s all good and well plastering over a cracked wall but eventually the cracks will come through.
My daughter was in an NHS hospital for 100 days, for 100 days I received free parking as do all intensive care patients parents! However had they not provided this I would have paid parking happily knowing it goes straight back into the hospital! Your caring for my child why on earth would I complain about the fee! If for whatever reason I couldn’t afford that fee I would get the bus, if I couldn’t afford the bus I would walk! I wouldn’t expect a free car park!
• Education. There is nothing wrong with being a grown up and paying for the things we want! If you wish to go to uni to learn about whatever that’s your choice! I agree for doctors and teachers the fees should be altered but I also feel too many people go to uni for the fun factor and not the actual education. Free school meals for all isn’t required, parents should provide for their child! If they are unable to for certain reasons then that’s the only time a free school meal should be allocated! A smaller class size would be brilliant, but again this comes down to money and with all the free meals being handed out where is the money coming from? Are they going to extend existing schools to accommodate this? Build more?
•Police. hiring 10,000 more police is great! But at what expense? We do need more police! Especially if labours ideas on defence are put into plan.
•Housing. As great as new houses would be, I’d rather the possibility of getting a mortgage be an option! How are all these people that are currently renting going to manage when it comes to retirement? Are more schools, hospitals, doctors, fire departments going to be built also? Again it’s great to plan these things but with no true money I can’t see it?
As great as some of these ideas are , we need to get away from this take take take attitude! We can’t continue to spend money that we don’t have, increasing cooperation tax and taxing higher earners more just isn’t going to cover these costs! Does nobody remember the massive debt created by the last labour government? Conservative have been forced to make cuts to get us out of the mess created! These cuts aren’t great, but we need to stop being selfish and take control!
