Plus cutting all community projects, that actually do some good regards giving young adults a place to go and help with job seeking, and the first steps into the near defunct building trade.

Well the truth may be out there, but the lies are certainly in some peoples heads :roll:

Perhaps if more of the population were armed rather than criminals or the police this could have been nipped in the bud quicker.

Well 10 things will change now Jonah’s gone.

1. Statistics will bear some relation to reality
2. A politician smiling will not engender fear in under-fives

Badger Eyebrows will be flying to…[Read more]
