Re: The Tories
We've already got Cats in power haven't we ? ......................... Oh silly me, it's not cats, it's Pussies .................... the English language & it's nuances eh ?
And while I think on "Call me Dave" in interview on the radio today while talking about foreign aid mentioned something about not cutting it as he'd made a "promise". Really ? Funny thing is, he seems a bit hazy about other promises he's made.
Two faced, lying, hypocrite !

"Nuances eh" Looks like we might have to make you an honorary Canadian In no time, we'll have you rooting for the Leafs and drinking Molson Canadian ... not a bad brew, by the way.

Would be rather chuffed to be an honorary Canadian, just as long as I don't have to do the French bit. And I do believe I supped a Molson or two while adventuring in the "Hat".

Re: The Tories
I see Cameron embarrassed himself in the US last night on the late show. David Letterman asked him a few "British History" questions and he struggled. How can anyone not know that Magna Carta means Great Charter? I thought we all learned that at school? He's a politician for Gods sake. He didn't know the populations of the individual UK countries either. And these were just two that the privately educated buffoon couldn't answer. One of the presenters on the news this morning said maybe he should take a citizenship test. Sounds like a good idea.
Anyone remember the Monty Python spoof show Upper Class Twit of the Year?

Loved that Python skit If Cameron did know about the Magna Carta, he would probably dismiss it as communist propaganda.

Re: The Tories
First person has been sentenced to prison for squatting under the new anti-squatting laws brought in by the Tories...
London squatter first to be jailed - London - News - Evening Standard
It is often foreign criminal gangs who have been targetting private houses for squatting then charging immigrants to stay in them - this has ruined squatting for genuine homeless people.
What next under the Tories - return of the workhouse?

Not a very good argument against the Tory scum IMHO, if someone was illegally squatting in a house i owned, i would be delighted n bet most people would.

Cashy An upstanding person such as yourself must have come across the phrase 'Property is Theft'?
Well if it is the squatters are handling stolen goods so, perhaps they should be prosecuted even harsher than they at last are being?

Genuine homeless people ? Not really a goer is it Kes ? I'm pretty sure you'd be up in arms & demanding that plod do something about it if it was a property of yours
Squatter - a person who settles on land or occupies property without title, right, or payment of rent. (from dictionary.com )
