SIR:I refer to the article about the 'spooky' government poster.

I am not surprised in the least that the Tories have brought out of wraps such a hideous promotion poster. Their last one was bad enough - the one which depicted the tax bombshells.

This just shows how low they will stoop in desperation in order to try to win the next General Election in the face of overwhelming odds, by stating that 'their only intention is to make people aware of the dangers of New Labour which are frightening. Well anyone will obviously see through it and re-assure children who have found the poster frightening that there is no 'bogey man', unless they are Tories themselves, of course.

As I had previously stated, the Tory propaganda machine will get into top gear and then into overdrive the nearer we get to the next General Election. With the propaganda they will muster on top of what they have already mustered, they have already made the top NAZI propaganda minister Josef Goebbels seem like an amateur! What with more money well above the so called rate of inflation for the 'Fat Cats' and MPs (regardless of their political colours in this case), Mr E Webber has hit the nail on the head by saying that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. He has reminded me of George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' where their 'law' was, 'All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others'!
