I wonder where he gets the idea from that we are a 'rich' nation. He can't afford to run the NHS but he's managed to scrape together a £15 billion package for overseas schools? Can't help thinking that he hasn't really got his priorities right - either that or he can't add upComment

This government is unable to delimit its area of responsibility properly. We're to help out Poland and the Eastern Bloc, sub-Saharan Africa, parts of the Middle East, Afganistan, the Indian sub-continent...
I have a feeling the mentality at work in the heart of government is that there is 'us' = 'the big people running it' and 'them' = 'all the little people'. The British public falls into the latter category along with our comrades in Burkino Faso etc.Comment

There is something seriously mad with nu labour.... not enough cash for UK hospitals, not enough cash to pay public sector pensions, people dying from the cold as they cant afford heating bills, transport infrastructure in shambles, talk of people having to work into their 70s to make ends meet.
So lets ship £8,500,000,000 abroad. Fecking lunatics.Vieze Oude ManComment

If it's on the market I'll buy it - If it means another penny on the income-tax.
What is remarkable (apart from the fact that the dog did nothing in the night-time) is that this was supposed to be a nigh-on unbelievable sign of how strongly the government backed Holmes in this matter of vital national importance; a penny on the income-tax being almost unimaginable. And it was an "old" penny - 1/240 of a pound, for those who don't know.Comment
