Do you want an MP who cares about Newark & District then Mr Cameron is wasting is time. I ask you please vote for Dr Ian Campbell because I cannot afford a Tory government.

By mrtruth

you cannot afford a "Tory government " ?

I suppose the ruined economy , the I'll equipped
soldiers, the broken communities , the overtaxed
working populace ,the Mrsa filled hospitals ,

Can afford another corrupt lying Labour party tenure ?

I'm sure the feral half educated chavs running amok on benefits will vote for the weasel Brown .

By theredimp

At least we actually have schools and hospitals. If the Tories had been in power this last 13 years they would all have fallen down. Everyone preparing to vote Tory tomorrow deserves the Britain they are going to wake up to on Friday morning. One thing is certain, with Dodgy Dave in charge, Britain certainly won't be great and our Kingdom will definitely not be United.

By PravdaJack

The forthcoming obdurate hearted Cameron government will bring about austerity while continuing to support costly unnecessary war. Nevertheless, the Labour government must go the people have no confidence in them.

When Cameron takes away the scanty benefits of the genuine and the bogus sick and the unemployed that will not work for a pittance I expect their extreme poverty will result in increased crime.

A Cameron government may think that the responsibility of ill relatives rest not with the state but with the family. This maybe one of the so-called difficult decisions.

Cameron forewarned of a 'age of austerity’ that awaits us then in that austerity costly war must come to an end and the burden must also fall upon the wealthy.

I believe the potential of our town and our wellbeing is best placed in the hands of Dr Ian Campbell MBE.

knife crime , Iraq war , biggest increase in wealth gap between rich and poor ever seen , Brown admitting in commons to lying about Defence Budget, Gurkhas , Id cards , Price of Petrol , Sleaze , Mandelson twice had to resign , Formula one scandal , Peter Foster , Alistair Campbell the devil incarnate spin doctor , David Blunkett illegal immigrant scandal , Jo Moore " a good day to bury bad news ' on 9/11 . A Prime Minister who acts like a petulant three year old !
The disgraceful treatment of our Armed Forces .

Pravda do I need to go on ???? Because I can

By theredimp

liverpool, it sounds as if come Friday you are going to get the government you desire and deserve. God help us all...

By liverpoolnewark

Mr Dimp , You obviously like Pravda live in the beautiful utopia of New Labour's Britain .

By fightfornewark

I reflect back to 1973 when i applied to emigrate to Australia. I was accepted but some how they managed to lose my documents. I had saved to emigrate. but I could not be bothered to apply again. The biggest mistake of my life. A chance to get out of this country that like Newark Hospital has been downgraded over the decades by successive Governments. It is not Great Britain it is a divided country

By theredimp

Mr Liverpool, no utopia just much better than the destruction of society we experienced under Thatcher and will experience once again under Cameron...

By liverpoolnewark

destruction under Thatcher ?

You mean the unions were put in their place and finally after thirty years the UK could catch up with the rest of the world ?

Remember the economic growth we had until three years ago stems from that era ? Or would you like us to be like France / Greece / Spain shackled by Union ideals ?

Get real Dimp Labour have screwed this country in the last 13 years ! They inherited a healthy eceonomy and have destroyed everything they touched .

Look around in Newark see the uneducated , chav Labour class fat on rubbish food and bleary eyed from binge drinking !

That's Labour's Utopia ! A free ride for the dumb and lazy while the taxpayers are treated like dogs and the Labour elite quaff their cocktails in Notting Hill.

A joke !

By PravdaJack

No need to worry about future services offered at Newark hospital, what does Mr Mercer think; all the worrying front page headlines of the Advertiser were about?

It's absolutely apparent our concerns are no concern for Patrick Mercer and are entirely a much lower agenda to him.

Anybody that would believe that Mr Mercer has been, a positive force, is void of perception and intellect or is a staunch Tory supporter and is willing like Mr Mercer to see foxhunting reinstated.

The choice is a simple one, if you care, about our hospital and ambulance services vote Dr Campbell and if you believe the country comes before Newark and the needs of the constituents vote Patrick Mercer.

We will have a Tory government, therefore, why not have a Newark MP that stands for Newark first and foremost?

By theredimp

Luckily Ewark the world is made up of many diverse types of person, from the greedy and self-serving who think that only those with a loud voice and overbearing personality deserve to have a fulfilled life to those who believe that everyone deserves the basic human rights such as food and a roof over their heads. Vote Tory - Vote Cardboard City, £1 an hour slave wages, persecution of minorities, two year waiting lists for operations, £50 a week pensions, the Workhouse etc etc etc

By liverpoolnewark

As I stated before Pravda I'm not voting this election due to the paucity of the candidates .

But please can you and dimp answer the long list of inexcusable Labour Party actions over the last 13 years ?

Yet again you guys get personal , why ? Because you know the mess Labour have
left this country and can't make a case in their defence .

Labour equals mediocrity for all , higher taxes , worse services , less social cohesion , police state and a nanny like government hell bent on
eroding our civil liberties.

Please Pravda and dimp list the great achievements of New Labour ???????

By theredimp

Not enough space but here is a small selection:

1.A rising National Minimum Wage - the annual uprating benefits around 1 million people a year.

8.The NHS can now guarantee that you will see a cancer specialist within two weeks if your GP suspects you may have cancer. Whatever your condition, you will not have to wait more than 18 weeks from GP referral to the start of hospital treatment – and most waits are much shorter than this.
9.Over a 100 new hospital building schemes completed.
10.12 million pensioners benefiting from increased Winter Fuel Payments.
11.900,000 pensioners lifted out of poverty.
12.500,000 children lifted out of relative poverty and measures introduced in and since Budget 2007 are expected to lift another 550,000 children out of poverty.

18.There have been around 3,700 rebuilt and significantly refurbished schools; including new and improved classrooms, laboratories and kitchens.
19.A free nursery place for every 3 and 4 year old - extended to 15 hours per week this year and we are beginning to provide 10 hours a week to the most deprived 2 year olds.
20.Doubled the number of registered childcare places to more than 1.3 million, one for every four children under eight years old.
21.More young people attending university than ever before.

33.A new flexible Australian-style points-based system for immigration to ensure only those economic migrants who have the skills our economy needs can come to work in the UK.
34.Police numbers up by almost 17,000 since 1997, alongside more than 16,000 Police Community Support Officers.

@ liverpoolnewark I’m afraid that the Advertiser will not let me answer your comment but then like someone wrote "the Advertiser is essentially conservative in nature, the old fashioned one nation conservatism, and it is committed to the establishment in all its forms".

Lucky Tory Mr Mercer. Delete, Erase, Obliterate.

By liverpoolnewark

Dimp we have the worst success in treating cancer in Western Europe never mind compared to the USA.

So Brown spends more of our money ! Great but the whole problem is the complete waste of that money.

Education standards have fallen compared to Western Europe over the last ten years.

The gap between rich and poor under New Labour has never been bigger . He taxes by stealth the poorest the most !

New Labour betrayed their supporters so why do you make excuses for them ?

I gave Bliar my vote in the belief he was an Honorable competent man but he dragged us into the Iraq war and left our poor troops ill equipped !

PFI , 300 billion off balance sheet debt Brown has lumbered the UK with !

The country is structurally damaged beyond belief by the policies of Gordon Brown.

He oversaw the deregulation of the investment banks and stood by ignoring the credit and asset bubble while wasting the tax returns.

Mr Pravda I'm sorry you can't respond to my list of Labour's disasters . Its not right and you should be able to reply .

Micheal Foot a man who I disagreed with on every front but unlike Bliar and Brown a man of integrity.

New Labour will go down as one mighty con trick by a Tory, Tony Bliar , on the socialist class .

By PravdaJack

Liverpoolnewark: Labour or Conservative Party it's all eventually swings and roundabouts and that is one reason why I seek the candidate that I think will be best for our town rather than the country.

Five years from now people will be complaining about Cameron however we the people of Newark will only have ourselves to blame if we suffer lack of representation.

Also anyone that thinks I have faith in the Labour Party is detached from reality. I have confidence only in the man and I do not give a damn if he is part of the Labour Party I only care that if by some quirk of fate Dr Campbell is triumphant he keeps his promise not to forget that his position in Parliament is to first and foremost represent the interests of Newark.

I believe him to be a caring man and a gentleman with integrity and entirely worthy of our support.

By liverpoolnewark

Pravda I respect your position and if you feel Mr Campbell is the right man the so be it and good luck.

I wish I had faith in just one of the current party leaders.

Dimp nothing personal as we all have common values .

I just hate two things Corporate greed i.e. Goldman Sachs and Governmental incompetence i.e.Gordon Brown !

Lets hope what ever happens tonight that the Hospital is not rundown by the PCT and SFHT .
