What hope do we have of a shared future when even putting up christmas lights results in attempts at political point scoring?

    Yea but bah humbug, it's nowhere near Halloween yet. As money saving Scrooge types we should respect this.

    And they will probably want to replace the tree in the village with a conflict orientated commemoration display. But they can forget asking Arlene for a sub towards it!

    We still live in a very troubled society and it's going to take many years for old wounds to heal. For myself I try to rise above the problems of the past and today. It's difficult to ignore some things but the best medicine is laughter so I hope to see many more here poking fun at the idiocy of our politicians, local and national.
