Dr Fox raises hell!
I don't want to hear one more Tory to bring up the subject of not enough helicopters for the army if Dr Liam Fox's concerns aren't addressed. Take a read of The Telegraph's article here, and don't forget to read the letter in full.
I live in Sidcup, a town in Bexley, south east London. I'm married with two children, and I work for a large housing association in the field of community development and stock transfer.
I'm a Christian, and a member of the Labour Party. My life and beliefs shape my politics making me an authoritarian social democrat; I'm low on liberalism, but high on social change and social awareness, more for those who have less, and strong on society, law & order, and Keynesian economics.
I was previously a councillor for eight years in the London Borough of Bexley between 1998 and 2006.
This blog are my thoughts about politics, society, government (both national and local) and life! All views expressed on this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the position of any organisation I work for or represent. I hope you enjoy, and please do comment - it's free you know...
