Anyway, someone in Dolphins Barn were asked what they thought of the government. They said the were a disgrace because her daughter had a door handle broken in her council house for 3 days and it hasn't been fixed yet. Basically, there's a class of people who will do nothing but take take take, blame "the government" for everything and never take responsibility for anything, no matter what the circumstances.

Enough of these useless spongers, contributing nothing to the country and taking so much. The reason nobody in our government says anything is because they are cowards, they are afraid of the far left mob that now controls our national media and major areas of public life. Time to fit in or fcuk off, we've thrown money at them for decades with little or no results. They don't want to be part of our society therefore they should not be given the benefits of it.

That's why I could never be a politician, far too emotional and hair triggered. The three on the panel had no option but to keep a dignified silence, no good can come from engaging in debate with the likes of that. In this day and age your career could be ended in a flash. The best course of action is just to let him babble on and make a fool of himself.

I'm guessing that she doesn't have a criminal record, nor does she have 8+ childers. Is anyone surprised that she's not a poster girl for travellers?
