Cameron Constituency Food Bank Faces Closure As Local Economy Stalls

Because this story started as a pathetic attempt by a left wing red-top rag to discredit Cameron in some way, those of a left wing persuasion are determined to try to keep that theme going, however futile and desperate that attempt becomes.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Well, I googled the Heythrop Hunt, and look what popped up:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2049580/Ex-Labour-Minister-gallops-defence-Chipping-Norton-Sets-beleaguered-huntsman.html
Apparently the lovely Labour MP Kate Hoey is not only a member of that Hunt, but she is or was Chairman of the Countryside Alliance.
So, BertieUK, nothing about David Cameron having ever ridden in a hunt, nor anything about his views on hunting, just the Belfast Telegraph saying that a friend of his (and we know that is true, do we?) has been hunting illegally.
But here's a photo of Kate in her posh riding gear, astride her own horse (I assume it's hers, and not one she borrowed for a single, once-off ride), Chairman of the Countryside Alliance (usually rich landowners who run this), and sticking up for the hunt.

I think that many of you should go back to the very start of this thread, press for 'Most Popular Comments' read the comments made, digest them, and maybe your opinions may change somewhat.
I will be the first to say that I have wandered, as many other have, from the very impotant issue that DecentLivingWage started.
But what has never changed are the main players, who would learn an awful lot by reading these comments that have been made by the public in general, ok many are giving extreme personal views of which you cannot blame them when you have a leaders like we have at present, that will not listen to reason.
So go back to the start and maybe your opinions may change.0 -

With respect you are trying to put words into my mouth that have not been made, as I have previously stated but you have ignored or not seen.
Every party have their rebels, none more that what the Conservatives have, I almost said your party but I cannot assume your political views as many do mine. That will bring a smile to some.
I do believe the Lady concerned may be interested in joining the Conservative ranks because she wanted to assist Boris Johnson at one time I believe.
And finally I do detect a whiff of what is known as 'the lowest form of whit'0 -
the story that started this thread is about losing the property from where the soup kitchen was run.
one would see that the solution was to find a new one; one might speculate that this wouldn't be too hard although probably wouldn't make much of a story.EU tariff on agricultual product 12.2%
some dairy products 42.1% cloths 11.4%

I believe that whoever is in power things are going to be tough for a while.With respect you seem to have all the answers. You tell me.
When teams cannot find an answer how to score points they usually sack the Manager.
The boom that we all got used to under the last government was an illusion based on ever increasing debt, and now it is time to pay the bills.
Just blaming whoever is in charge at the time is not helpful.0 -

I agree, but far too many are blaming Labour for the mess we are in, and not taking into account that this ecomical disaster was 'on the cards' or so some of the 'economists' are saying and that many countries outside of the UK played a part in this disaster.
So you are correct in saying, as i have just said,........Just blaming whoever is in charge at the time is not helpful0 -
So all this stuff about Cameron being an out of touch, posh boy is not relevant then?I agree, but far too many are blaming Labour for the mess we are in, and not taking into account that this ecomical disaster was 'on the cards' or so some of the 'economists' are saying and that many countries outside of the UK played a part in this disaster.
