FOR over 30 years, I have always voted Conservative.

However, after witnessing the recent chaos caused by the farmers and HGV tanker drivers, I will at the next election change my allegiance to Labour.

I have been so impressed with the way that Tony Blair stood his ground, not giving in to the request to review tax on fuel.

The country should be congratulating him on his handling of the whole affair and should be grateful that the country has not been held to ransom by a group of mercenaries.
