My mates got a furniture store in kilburn nw london. To look at it you would wonder how he sells enough to eat.What you dont see is his warehouse off scrubs lane.When a housing association in london has to refit out a property they have acquired, its his company that normally gets the job.Hes earning bucketloads.

He has just fitted out a 5 bedroom house in maida vale w9 for a family of iraqi's(whats that house worth)Anyway the whole family piled into the shop to complain about the colour of the carpet.He made a phonecall and you've got it in one ,hes had to pull it up and replace in another colour.

He loves our immigration policy.

Because it would be an approximate equivalent of what they have contributed to the Treasury coffers so far. Bugger all.

And on another thread here on P&P at the moment council workers are raking in over 50k pa for painting white lines. I guess anyone whose income is connected to the public sector is safe from the recession at the moment. I just wonder how long we can go on sustaining this level of pure incompetence & mismanagement.

I prefer the direct action approach. A little revolution being good for the soul every few hundred years or so.

I have a few skills I could bring to the party, so let me know when we plan to start smile
