As, I'm pretty sure, the majority of them have access to schools by 'phone, walking, bus or car and can get to a library where they can use free computers - what is the point?? Oh well, suppose it means that there may be a lot of lap-tops getting sold off cheap soon. Good to see our taxes are being frittered away! Wonder how many of the under-privileged are asylum seekers, getting more cash than I could hope to earn. Oops, I feel an arrest coming on and my DNA being taken!!!!!!!!!    Report

I had a Fiver bet with Ian about the BNP, ( which he sensibly saw right through ), and I'll now have one with you---------Within the next five years or less, Mohammed will be THE  most popular first name of baby boys born in England , ( I believe it's currently second only to Jack )---- Ah well,  not to worry, Spring is round the corner, and we are blessed to live in one of the last remaining areas of sanity and faint hope !

I do remember seeing a very bright light at the end of  a tunnel , and when I awoke, I felt a strange contentment with life in general. No more stupid feelings of  misguided Nationalistic pride, and indeed a real " feel good " factor about the social and economic directional path  of this island. I am a changed man,      I am happy, I love people , I love my wife and kids , I love the benefit system,   health and safety laws,  and all Human Rights legislation. I can really recommend this treatment to you all-------------God bless all our Global brothers-------------------,  and may your camels always find water !!    Report

I was almost lulled into a false sense of security today, after hearing Gordo's minion Alan Johnson informing us he was going to "Ban Islam4UK" and I almost did a "double take" as I heard the announcement on Radio 4...(one could also hear the legal aid/uman rights lawers, sharpening their pencils in the background, ready to take on Choudrays denial of free speech case, funded by us!!, but that was just my cynical imagination playing tricks on me...) It was almost refreshing to see an "element of backbone" in a Labour politician, it is just a shame that the backbone will crumble when it comes to doing anything other than giving a "sop" to the masses. Choudray has got his PR victory and stirred up hatred between the white population and the Moderate Muslims. The BNP have gained a few more votes and Labour have done their usual and reacted when they see more than 200,000 start to get a bit miffed on "Facebook". It was very noticeable how they were silent on the issue until the numbers on the "Anti Wootton Bassett March" group on FB got into the 200k plus, then even Gordo himself was quoted. It was all too reminiscent of the campaign to get the young injured Royal Marine from Sussex his bungalow, not a peep from Gordo, then 200k plus on FB and the Downing Street PR machine sprang to life, sensing a golden PR opportunity. Now some consider me to be a cynic, but it seems to me that virtually every thing this government has got involved in since being in power, has relied on PR and spin, to mask a total lack of real substance. Whether it be "Tough on Crime", "Cleaning up the NHS" or "Chinooks for Afghanistan", once you peel back the veneer you realise that it is all spin spin spin...Choudray will re invent his group and probably along the way, some leftie human rights lawyer will bring a case in Strasbourg claiming his "Uman rights" have been denied. Paid for by us. As the "Luton Five" stated after being found guilty of inciting racial hatred..."The taxpayer paid for the case" and as we are all on benefits, "The taxpayer will pay our fines"...The good old "Beeb", ever impartial NOT! allowed Choudrays puppetmasters from Al Muhajiroun to spout their vitriol on prime time radio today and Islam4UK's website currently states: Therefore, we will one day liberate our land from occupation and implement the Shari.ah not just in Muslim countries but also right here in Great Britain. This is something that we believe in, live by and hope that in our lifetime we will witness. What saddens me most, is that we as a country are just sitting back and allowing people who have the avowed intent to destroy our way of life, to operate and spread hatred and propaganda on our streets and instil fear and loathing between us and those Muslims and others who do wish to peacefully live in our country and are happy to live by our rules and codes. Alas our sleepy insulated corner of Devon, will not remain sleepy for long, if this breakdown in our society is allowed to go unchecked. I for one cannot understand the mentality of a government that allows this to happen? Is there anyone out there who can come up with a good reason for Labour to wish to destroy social cohesion in this country, or is it all some sort of bad dream.... It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases    Report

In my view, regardless of this brilliant electoral plan, the Labour Party  are now so generally un-liked across the indigenous population of this country , that even their numbers of  tame voters, are unlikely to prevent their demise in May by a groundswell of protest votes from even the most moderate of working class people-----------the trouble is, even when they are gone, there "shameful legacy" will still be firmly in place, and Mr Cameron and his sharp-suited "chums" have zero chance of now reversing a tectonic social  shift, centred solely around our laughing stock of a Benefit System ----------------and their noble plans to cut tens of billions of pounds annually from the Public Purse, will lead only to civil unrest as Council and Government servces are viciously slashed,-- Public Sector wages are frozen,-- many taxes are raised----interest rates start to steadily rise--consumer spending slumps, and un-employment climbs still higher, ( all fairly reminiscent of previous Tory Government ). So in summary Ian,  just please forget the lost  struggle, relax and chill and drink wine and beer, and sit on beautiful Budleigh Beach and watch helpless from the sidelines as this country slips  sickeningly into a tailspin of  Economic, and Social  chaos over the next couple of years !-------------and it won't be Cameron's and his chums fault if they do manage to get elected---they are attempting to stop a crazy runaway  express train,  by wearing a bowler hat, and defiantly standing on the tracks, waving a little red flag on a stick -------------too late,   can't be done now !! All the best---------------may all your tents and camels be blessed !      Report

But after a few beers last night, I am sure I saw a camel on Budleigh beach, ridden by a guy in a bowler hat and waving a red flag. He was looking for the railway track - he'd found the old cutting but there were no trains - now that's another debate!!    Report
