From Mr Jason Dack Sir: Max Hastings lavishes praise on

the Blair government, but what are this government's specific achievements? If you think that crippling the police service by pursuing an anti-racist witch-hunt and sucking up to the IRA by offering the British Army's head on a plate via the Bloody Sunday inquiry are plus points, then by all means vote Labour.
