Pete, my posting is not about "winding people up".  It is about people across the UK of any age who voted for these ultra right wing Tory's in 1980 starting with Margaret Thatcher, and continuing with David Cameron, We have not had decent one nation left of centre Conservatism since the days of Ted Heath, and as such I feel very strongly that because the British largely are neither interested in ...

Chris, we have become a throwaway society, we just dont care what we drop, or where we drop it.  Come to that, we dont care what we do either.
