    cameron hasn't just made them in his youth though. he voted for homophobic policies as an adult (section 28).
    if Cameron did say this it is disgusting and should come no where near Downing St - things aren't looking good for this country when he comes to power...

    hoorah for clegg standing up for good old fashioned council houses!! (not too old fashioned though....and would councils have to pay vat to build them?)
    The old fashion, post war ones seem better than a lot of new builds to me. Decent sized rooms, solid builds, room for a table in the kitchen....so kids can actually sit and eat at a table and do home work there while their mum is at hand for help but can still get on with her ''chores''. They may not be terribly attractive, but they seem like good family homes to me.:o
  • Interesting that the Tories ask us to 'Vote for Change'. After all this time all they want to offer is a different company running the country. Not for them 'Vote for this policy or that policy' just change.

    Maybe they mean 'Vote for loose Change' - as that is all many of us will have left after they tax the less well-off majority - while pandering to their wealthier friends as always.

    Sounds like someone has fallen for the propaganda hook line and sinker.

    Maybe. But we usually get huge tax cuts for the rich and small tax rises for the less rich. Approaching 50 and earning around average income, I've seen it before. Remember, I don't read newspapers or follow the media sheep.
