Perhaps they feel with all the nationalities over here there is no one else left to fight.

Failure to appreciate what the military achieves other then a fighting force. The military is an education, it gives some people the discipline they need in life to change from a boy to a man, then pushes them out the other end with a qualification that makes them useful to society.

Perhaps without that education, some people would just end up on the benefits pile...

Very true

I suppose I didn't have the most conventional start in life, although a lot of people have it much worse. I was a foundling, left in a carrier bag outside a London hospital as a newborn baby. My adopted parents did their best, but life was tough where I grew up, in Bermondsey in south London, and money was always tight.

I don't think the "hated" bedroom tax applies to Osborne - does he live in social housing ?

The Labour hypocrites couldn't be bothered to turn up to debate and vote on this tax - just shows how much they "hate" it

does he pay rent for number 11?, does he own it ? we know he gets £10k a month renting his own place out and lives rent free at number 11, talk about being a hypocrite

Bob Crow earns £100k pa and lives in social housing, Two Shags whilst Deputy PM had his mansion in Hull and had 2 Govt pads Dorneywood Country House in Bucks and a flat in Admiralty Arch, Comrade John Cruddas owns 3 properties, Shaun Woodward owns 6 and I won't mention Tony Blairs numerous places. Can we include them on the Hypocrite list ?

Can we include them on the Hypocrite list ?
