I AGREE wholeheartedly with Martin Roberts’ assertion in last week’s Guardian, December 11, that we need ‘to keep the country from going back to the old Labour ways of debt.’

A good start would be to get rid of the current Government which has borrowed more money in four and a half years than every Labour government in history combined.

As Thatcher once said: ‘Eventually you run out of other people’s money’.
