Blair and Roche let in all the criminals without an ID check at customs, now we have all kinds of crime networks across the UK. Prime Minister Gordon Brown signed the LISBON TREATY. Let that sink in. Oh wait....you don't even know what that treaty - or any other EU treaty probably - entails. It was mostly Labour MPs and Labour councils like Rochdale that helped to cover up the grooming gangs from Telford to who knows how many towns today. Yeah, Labour are great aren't they?

    When you see a homeless person the street normally people will ignor them but truely deep down they are the nicest and most down to earth people you could know. Just because they are not rich doesnt mean any thing. "Its not about how rich you are its about how rich you are in your heart ".

      +Dan South Corbyn's right, London is being socially cleansed. This government refuses to pass any sort of rent controls or build enough social housing and the rents and house prices are going up. The city is being bought up by buy-to-let landlords (1 in 4 MPs is one btw) and foreign oligarchs who pay virtually no tax on the houses they use as safe deposit boxes while homelessness steadily rises. It's going to end up a bit like Paris where all the plebs live on the outskirts and have to travel in to service these arseholes for a wage that barely pays for the train ticket.
