At my age (66) you don’t want time to go by too quickly, but I seriously can’t wait for the next UK General Election so that we can get rid of this dreadful government. The Tories are acting like a bunch of mobsters. Crooks and nepotists the lot of them.

My late father was a Policeman. 31 years service. Old school. Served a few years in The Scottish Crime Squad. Here’s what they used to do….. When a crime was committed …they discovered that investigating the crime sometimes led to them finding evidence! Crazy!!
