I read with interest the letter sent to you by Dr Enetia Robson (Guardian, December 8).

It would appear Dr Robson needs to open her eyes and see what a sorrowful state this Labour Government has brought about by its mismanagement of the economy.

Our pensions are in crises due to Gordon Brown creaming over £5billion a year in taxes from our pension providers.

Some companies can no longer afford to provide final pay schemes.

Immigration is out of control, hospitals and transport grinding to a halt and the list goes on and on.

Yet another council tax rise of five per cent is in the pipeline. When Labour came to power a band D council tax in Croydon was approximately £675. Now it stands at about £1,100.

I think people can make their own minds up as to whether we are better off under a Labour Government or not.
