Trust the news


An Afghan family with seven children receives benefits worth £170,000 a year, said the paper. Naturally, if the paper says so it might be true. But for a moment – just for fun – lets assume it is really the case. So, as benefits are tax free, this equates to £280,000 before tax.

Phew,

As if it was not yesterday that Mr. Brown blamed the bankers for making too much money and not sharing OUR values. I wonder if it’s the fact that they worked for their money (if we call it work) that did not match our values and angered Mr. Brown.
