A link to a bit more of what our MP's think of us. It's shocking but not surprising to learn that 169 MPs who voted to cut benefit cash from our country's poorest people were claiming a joint £3.2million for their own accommodation.

Poppies2 (For all at Brook House and Overbrook, Dawlish.) In Flanders fields that May, watered with chlorine tears, frail red blooms appeared as usual, anticipating nothing but their own brevity.

@Mrs C This is funding that had been available through government grants. "After 2014 there will be no new grants available, for at least 2 years. There is no clarity as yet on what might happen after 2016. The Woodland Trust is demanding that Defra unlock funds to provide interim funding measures as a solution to this serious problem. The good news is that the Government already recognises ...

On Andrew Marr programme David Cameron said he is a unionist and there is quite a lot of Scottish blood flowing through these viens. Well after the scottish reign of Tony Blair then Gordon Brown from 1997 who should be surprised if their interest is more for North of the border.

FredBasset I agree with your comment 'Instead of keep harping on about building social housing why not take the opposite view, build some decent £500,000 upwards detatched properties for wealthy business types and lets see if we can get them to move their businesses to the area in the hope of gaining some jobs.'  Teignbridge has already asked local businesses in 2003 ...

Good question, try the following link: Why are the English Defence League going to Exeter? To conclude: "They are mobilising their forces from across the UK to demonstrate against the threat from Islam in a city where there are hardly any Muslims, against a local outbreak of FGM for which there is no evidence, and against an academic research centre that no longer exists."
