The sad thing is we all have parts like this that we suffer from....I think we should move all people like this to the same area & fence it off. Then they can keep the crime rate and inbreds to one part of the country.....scumbags all of them.

    but could Cameron still run the country from behind a fence?

    Oh! Yes. He already does!

    (and you can't even ride a bike through the gate in the fence, let alone drive through!)

    True, however despite being a lifelong labour supporter I actually support the Tories crackdown on benefits, IF it is more than headline grabbing....

    I don't think it was much of a defence for that Fergus landlord who is serving notice to HB claimants.

    Great line from the tenant being served an eviction notice for being £200-300 in rent arrears. 'How can I owe money, how it have gone up? - I'm on benefits'.

    Should be a wake-up call to LLs when they see professional tenants calmly say it'll take 12 months plus to get them out the property
