JUST after he was elected as the Prime Minister, Mr Blair, is on record as saying that there would be no sleaze in his party.

In the last few weeks and months we have seen the scandals of Ms Kelly, Ms Jewell, Ms Hewitt, not to mention Mr Mandelson, Mr Blunkett, and Mr Prescott, and now we see the scandal of Mr Clarke, who thinks it's right to have an open door policy for criminals and killers.

People who have started up hate campaigns against the BNP would do right to look at their own back yard first. How many community hospitals are still open in Wiltshire?

Is there any manufacturing industry left in Mr Blair's world, or is it just bankers and insurance?
