Government: Sorry, we cant afford the justice system its going.
The latest news of cuts does not look encouraging for the UK. With some of the agencies under review or to be abolished I for one am struggling to see the current government as a practical approach to running the UK. The plan to deal with the huge deficit in the UK budget may see…

Just a man, nothing to see here move along now
The pope has been here in the UK for less than a day, and he’s already earned my disfavour and I’m miles away from the events hes doing. That and numerous other people.
