It was up there late last night and I read it, muttered something about a nutter, hoped and expected that no-one would reply to it then passed on to the next thread unperturbed. What's so dreadful about reading off-topic rubbish? Just ignore it - easy. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

It's prefectly good english, maybe a few dialectical quirks,
as a middle class liberal you should be all for diversity. No. It's not either prefectly [sic] or perfectly good English. It is approximately comprehensible, but the grammar, spelling and punctuation are all poor. Anne |

If you do want something more then the word 'party' should be capitalised as 'The Labour Party' is a proper noun, but that is relatively trivial compared to the other howler. -- Col The gulls have plucked out my eyes! |

Ain't we picky considering that it's in a ng not a formal letter or document. |

Secondly, if so at fault, what would you middle class liberals
write? I do not claim or aspire to be a middle class liberal. But since you ask, here is a list of what I would have written, had I been so ill-advised as to write it at all. "Come May next year, we'll see a Tory\UKIP government. The Labour party" 'Party' should have a capital 'P' "when they was" 'they' must be followed by 'were'. Or you could have said 'The Labour Party when it was' "in government ruined the NHS with PFI's" There should not be an apostrophe in PFIs "were" should read 'where', or better, 'whereby' "the taxpayer pays 10 times or more what a building is worth. They allowed the wholesale invasion of this country by foreigners for a millinenum" misspelling of 'millennium' "not seen since the Norman Invasion. Lastly they" 'it' would be better "ruined the UK economy by spending hand over fist, and thinking that the great bubble was not going to burst. The labour party" 'Labour Party' should have capital 'L' and capital 'P' "have made themselves" 'has made itself' would be better "unelectable for 20 may be" maybe is all one word, and there should be a comma after 20 and after 30. "30 years. Thank God." I doubt that God has anything to do with it. |
