    Looking out of the window the weather looks good for encouraging out the voters:THaving an overnight catchup I am thinking Politics and the Elite are not a good mix:eek:so I think best to just exercise your opinions in the polling booth when you can express exactly how you feel by putting your X where you feel appropriate.

    Enjoy your day and what will be will be;)

    They build too many new prisons costing billions of £s and keep too many prisoners in prison (86,000 x £1,000 a week = £86,000,000 a week (that's over £4 billion a year which could be spent on the NHS and other more needy services).
    Non violent offenders should be made to observe home detentions and work in the community at no cost to the taxpayer.
