@leatash Sooo, no problems with the policies then? Purely that he and Clegg won't submit to an agenda set by TV companies? Interesting...hmmmm!

Only people requiring/needing benefits should get them. 2. Not enough money is going into the system to do that. But that has to be linked to how our system is paid for i.e. primarily National Insurance - and if not enough ...
