Party Political Broadcast

Tories too offensive for Welsh TV

Welsh Labour launches alternative YouTube party political broadcast

WELSH Labour today launched an alternative party political broadcast on YouTube, featuring footage of Tories too offensive for television.

The broadcast features greatest hits compilation nightmare memories of Tory rule in Wales.  It features John Redwood forgetting the words to the national anthem, Margaret Thatcher, and other reminders of the Tories' disastrous 18 years.  The video tells Welsh voters "the Tories are still singing to the same old tune" and urges people to "tell them to sing it elsewhere".

It reminds people of the Tories' worst calamities in Wales:

• Unemployment in Wales three time higher than it is today
• Wales suffered its two worst recessions since the Second World War
• Interest rates hit 15 per cent for a whole year
• Inflation hit 10 per cent
• Over 8,000 hospital beds were closed
• Over 70 hospitals were closed
• Recorded crime doubled
• Public spending on housing was cut by over £100m
• £70m was sent back to London by John Redwood

Welsh Labour Enterprise Minister ANDREW DAVIES said:

"The Tory Party has always been alien to the people of Wales and David Cameron has proved as much by bringing the Vulcan John Redwood back into frontline politics.

"The Tories have a terrible record of wreaking misery on the people of Wales with an entire generation of our people left without hope of a decent future.

"They haven't changed and are still singing the same tired old tune: cuts, unemployment and despair.

"The only way of stopping the Tories running our schools, hospitals and jobs is by voting Welsh Labour on May 3."
