| Message | Removing and even banning private sector involvement. This is not about individualism or freedom, this about statism and making big government, big burden to the state, big burden to the tax payer and a loss of jobs for the private sector. It takes one credit crunch, one public sector cut and then mass job losses. Patsy Davidson Tory Leader |
