Mr French seems to have taken over the Review lately. He persists in repeating the sad old Labour Party lies about UKIP.

Firstly he claims that UKIP would privatise education. Wrong. UKIP will not privatise education but will invest in high quality state education, including restoring grammar schools and vocational colleges.

Secondly he stated that UKIP would privatise the NHS. Wrong. UKIP will not privatise the NHS but will keep the service free at the point of delivery, including free eye and dental checks.

Finally he says that UKIP will privatise the Forest. Wrong. UKIP will not privatise the Forest of Dean. The Forest belongs to the people and is not for sale.
