I'm still not clear what crimes you are referring to.  But then this was always about the Mail and it's support of Mosley wasn't it?

So, Mrs C, are you accusing the past and present owners of the Daily Mail of committing serious crimes which have gone unpunished, because I am struggling to see the link between the newspaper and this thread.

What has the owners of the Daily Mail got to do with criminal coppers getting off lightly, or not even prosecuted at all?

It doesn't alter the fact that the council originally stated that part of the Warren would be used as a recreational facility for beachgoers, but then I guess it had other ideas.  KA-CHING!

The analogy is perfectly valid, Mrs C; we have been there before.  I am sure you are more than old enough to remember, in 1976, the Labour Chancellor Denis Healey going cap in hand to the IMF begging for a bailout to save the country from bankruptcy.  The conditions of that bailout (as with Greece today) resulted in an emergency budget imposing swingeing cuts in public expenditure and ...
