I have noticed, Neil, that quite a lot of your more subtle comments seem to go over various members' heads. Ken's usually fairly perceptive, though, so we'll put it down to being "far too busy with local affairs".

My you do get het up don't you ! Where exactly have I "slagged off" the Fire Service ? I was merely making a topical observation on a rather ironic situation. And as the strike is based on disagreement of new contracts how does that have a bearing on your vehement hatred of all things Tory ?

'We're all this together according to the PM and chancellor, as they inflict savage and sweeping cuts to public spending. Yet there is one family living on state handouts who will not be looking for personal economies to cope with the deficit reduction programme: the Windsor family.'

Phew thats the Windsors sorted, and the Saudi royal family, thanks to the increased overseas aid we send there.

Strange how Uncle Joe's genocide policies, and the deaths of millions of innocent people, doesn't provoke the same outrage. As you've reminded us before.

Wonder why?

Must be.

You'd never get the right wearing blinkers, unable to see any faults.
