The Tory Record

The Tory Record by the Commission for Assessing the Tory Record, Jon Carpenter Publishing, Spendlove Centre, Charlbury, OX7 3PQ, £1.99. Reviewed by Dan Carter

This useful pamphlet includes short articles by experts in a range of fields, from food quality to water privatisation, from care to crime. The Tory record is ripped apart in a factual and systematic manner in this well-sourced booklet. To quote just one example, on chemical waste: "Rejecting the recommendations of a Welsh Select Committee not to site major incinerators in residential areas and the scientific evidence on the dangers to health, the Government is spending £10 million of taxpayers' money on a PR exercise to hoodwink the public into accepting the proposed plants by calling them 'recycling facilities' instead of 'incinerators' ".
