Good video that. Would like to know how long it takes a non-disabled passenger to get from Trafalgar Square to Stratford for reference though, as I wouldn't have a clue these days!

(what's oakum?)

He is indeed a nobber.

Just reading his brazen justification of his comment.

I am rapidly losing the will to live again

Thumbwitch · 27/05/2012 23:27

Never heard of him. Is he anyone? He sounds like a prick.

Oh dear. I must admit I was sort of waiting for that to happen, but I didn't want to face up to what I was thinking. Call me cynical and all that, but I am not surprised. Having said that I really do hope the police are wrong and this is just part of the process of investigation, and charges will be dropped. It was bad enough to see it happen, but to think that their own parents deliberately let those children burn in their beds is just beyond my comprehension.

HillyWallaby · 29/05/2012 14:01

oh sorry, they haven't actually been charge yet have they? So I mean just released after further investigations.

This is shocking- Newsnight interviewing a young WOHM and interrogating her on why she has HB and edited to look as if she doesn't work. Shock

Yes i saw her tweets last thursday. No wonder it gets called the Bullingdon Broadcasting Corporation.
Basically because she is working for a wage that doesnt cover the high rent and having to claim tax credits the BBC and the Government are still treating her like a scrounger because the Tories see tax credits as another benefit (rather than the business subsidy it actually is) which has always been the case with them. Oh and before anyone says the way Newsnight did this report had nothing to do with the Government,it actually does because they are the ones who have the power to take their cash cow (the TV licence away) so this does make a diffrence to objectivity
