As somebody who has a long involvement with the Labour party, including editing the New Statesman magazine, I have been able to give a frank and honest appraisal of a decade and a half of New Labour. And in it I explain why I can no longer support them, and am instead turning to the Liberal Democrats. 2010-03-09T18:47+00:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000008/haiti_and_aftermath.html I know little about Haiti but as an owner and founder of a Nairobi college in Kenya I know a little about third world poverty. As an author of 12 text books including 4 economics textbooks can I suggest that we go through the syndicalist route or similar rather than the traditional public sector / private route where many of us find ourselves alienated from the bureaucracy. 2010-02-26T18:47+00:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000007/letter_to_east_kent_gazette.html Dear Sirs 2010-01-15T10:16+00:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000006/letter_to_east_kent_gazette.html I note with interest Angela Harrison's comments about parking charges at hospitals. Has she considered the problems of people who do not have cars in the first place? It is difficult to get information about the local bus services. Kent county council no longer publish a comprehensive timetable for Sittingbourne or Sheppey which they did at one stage and which would be helpful now since it often requires more than one operator to get to say Medway hospital and individual operator's timetables do not show this. 2009-12-16T16:16+00:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000005/letter_to_east_kent_gazette.html Dear Sir 2009-11-06T13:15+00:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000004/letter_to_east_kent_gazette.html Dear Madam 2009-11-06T13:12+00:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000003/letter_to_east_kent_gazette.html Dear Sir /madam 2009-10-23T09:56+01:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000002/seize_the_opportunity.html This is an extraordinary moment in British politics. Political and economic crises mean that great changes are possible - and I want Liberal Democrats to seize the opportunity ahead. 2009-06-08T23:43+01:00 http://www.swale-libdems.org.uk/articles/000001/its_time_to_do_things_differently.html Britain is facing a difficult year. 2008-12-31T09:12+00:00
