wow, thats cold, real cold.

journalism, nah I would be crap at that, I wouldn't be able to suppress my conscience enough.

Same reason I would be rubbish in politics.

I'm just saying its a very cold harsh thing to say and no MP would dare say that directly, unless their in a ultra safe seat like Liam Fox is.

Its also highly insulting what to the old what Alex wild said.


Liam also 100% about labour being a very broken force right now.

Cutting the winter fuel allowance, that will kill people though, the only fair way would be to means test that payment.

The Tories have historically relied on the pensioner vote.

That is what has me confused, so strange to been perceived as "having a go" usually loyal voters

unless they are so confident of the majority that they have, and the crap pile Labour are in, that they feel the don't need the OAP vote to win the next election.

which from what I see, is probably true.

So its a distraction then, what are we being distracted from ?

this how it goes, there are 3 things that are unpopular you want to do

1 and 2, you will get through, 3 will be hard, very hard, suggest a 4th outlandish thing, people will kick up a huge fuss, the 4th thing will get dropped, people will think they have won, the 3rd thing will go through much easier.

Liam Fox is the Tories Mandleson, despicable st of a man.

My 87, nearly 88 year old Nan is in that state of mine these day, anything panics her, and I mean panics a lot.

She's well off'ish

full NHS pensions and 50% ex police widows pension, plus the national one of course, and her house was paid off decades ago.

But its shocking how easy she panics.

All she wants to be left alone and enjoy the regular visits off her grand and great grand children.
