More lies from the Daily Mail
I know that English wasn’t my best subject at school, and that living in Germany for 10 years might have left me isolated, but even I know that a “hike” increase”. Why does the Mail insist on lying and calling a measly 2% rise a hike?

Are they really trying to make their readership outraged with blatent lies and untruths?
Aren’t their readers outraged enough as it?

Public money – THE PUBLIC’S MONEY – has been used to buy/bailout tjis bank to the tune of 37 billion pounds, which, indecently, was just supposed to be a loan (what ever happend to that fact?), and yet the public are expected to waste even more money buying the bank again?
Why do the tories think this is a good thing?

Maybe someone should inform them that two wrongs don’t make a right.
Local Government does nothing (as usual)

“The development of the site has been fought by the community for many years over concerns about health, noise and traffic.
In March, the council decided not to go to the High Court to try to block the project.”
So, the people of Maidenehad don’t want this developmen, and the council can’t be bothered to do anything about it.
Have the councilers forgotten who voted for them, or are they too busy counting their backhanders?
