Well if they are all consiering web spinning then I hope they have held a public inquiry and have a commons commitee to assess the adverse impact this will have. There is likely to be a protest from the Incy Wincy Spider Union over there skills being nicked.

I always thought that all politicians twittered anyway, we get enough on here, and yes Neil, Rindi and cashy, I do include myself in that

Are you sure of that? I am sure she did what the Third Reich couldnt in that she brought it to its knees. Its a pity that the effort put in to twittering spinning cowpatting isnt matched by action at the same level. One day it will sink in that action speaks louder than words but possibley only after we fall into the middle ages type of life again and civil war looms.

I don't want politicians to be 'twittering' at our expense.......I want them to get on with the job they are paid to do......get the UK out of the brown sticky stuff would be good.......surely with their collective brains there should be someone out there who could make a better fist of it.
