Then the richest would have to chip in a bit more to fund improvements in the NHS, social care and education.<br />The Conservative party has always been about helping the rich to get richer, while the poor can go to the wall. This election was a massive blow for our Prime Minister and serve her right!<br />I say, good luck to Jeremy Corbyn - let's hope the Labour party can stop bickering and get behind him, now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-84053641434909269402017-06-09T09:46:54.904+01:002017-06-09T09:46:54.904+01:00So May has just blown £150 millions on an election...So May has just blown £150 millions on an election that has put the country into a mess. She could have given just £3 millions of that to Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Hospital Trust who have been in special financial measures because of a small deficit. It the meantime they have been allowed to scrap all targets. And I could have had my operation under the 18 week target early in January. But no I have been kept waiting for another 5 months until this week. At least now I can get on with my life and have to say that all the staff at Maistone Hostpital have been excellent. <br />But many others are till waiting for treatment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-14606543779368336292017-06-08T10:36:56.990+01:002017-06-08T10:36:56.990+01:00Just before you go you need to take off those rose...Just before you go you need to take off those rose tinted glasses and look at the level of child poverty in North East Lincs.

Your blog, although very sporadic is normally an entertaining read.<br /><br />Are you going to relinquish the reins of Tonbridge Blog to a sucessor or will it be moving to Brexitland with you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-27071931096917547592017-06-04T17:55:08.477+01:002017-06-04T17:55:08.477+01:00You’re a bit of a dark horse TB, not giving much a...You’re a bit of a dark horse TB, not giving much away as to whether it’s the business which has been sold, or just the lease on the premises. You are also surely kidding yourself if you really think we’ve been dreading the news of you imminent departure.<br /><br />Nothing personal of course, but apart from the odd photo, Tonbridge Blog has been pretty much moribund since the start of the year. Btw, I nearly called into your book emporium yesterday, but ran out of time. I could then have questioned you personally about the shop’s future, and your own plans oop north.<br /><br />Despite your remark about some of us joining you in the frozen north, I certainly won’t be one of them. All those Brexit-voting northern towns can wallow in their own demise, once the EU hand-outs dry up, and it kind of serves them right. Be careful what you wish for, as they say!<br /><br />As for Corbyn, I would have thought he would be right up the street of an old Mirror hack like yourself. Returning to my opening remark, old Jezza’s a bit of a dark horse himself, and he may yet pull something out of the bag and give Theresa Maybe the kind of shock she so richly deserves. I was going to say she’s all style but no substance, but with her leather trousers and ghastly chain-like necklace, there’s not much style either.<br /><br />On a serious note, good luck Mark, in whatever you turn your hand to in your new life. It has been nice knowing you these past fifteen years or so, and although you might find this hard to believe, coming from me, Tonbridge will definitely be the poorer without you.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.com
