and that nice home that was adapted especially for you? well now you are a benefit scrounger you will have to pay some housing benefit because you are not entitled to that spare room, so pay up or move to a smaller house (and probably it won't be adapted)

My feelings are generated by by the amount of money being spent on wars abroad which amounts to billions- they are not working and costing thousands of lives on both sides for no reasonable outcome. 
Bring all our troops home and stop siding with the yanks on every whim they have on who to bomb next. 
Totally agree!
What a success the legitimate war in Afghanistan against the oppressive Taliban has been when after years of British money and lives have been lost, president Karzai backs a law to make women practical prisoners in their homes and second class citizens. The Taliban, for all their fatal flaws, managed to massively reduce opium production, Something our meddling has never managed to keep a lid on.
The Russians invade years ago and got their asses kicked back home. The landscape is littered with Russian tanks etc; No war can be won against terrorists. It's about time the powers that be learned this lesson.
no one has ever invaded afghanistan, and it's been invaded rather a lot, and come out of it looking good or victorious.
the afghans seem to sigh and let the powers that invade get on with it and sort of ignore them till they go away again, till the next lot come along , to impose whatever the flavour of the day is, politics wise, upon them.

I read daily of Clegg not being happy about [Conservative] this or suggesting [Lib Dem] that, only for it to amount to a big fat nothing.
It doesn't surprise me that Clegg kept silent after grandstanding in opposition. He's good at that when it suits him.
He's aptly named .
One's a toxic , irritating bloodsucker you just want to swat , the other is.. oh! Hang on..

Which goes to show you shouldn't believe a word that comes out of a politician's mouth
