So,what's the answer? Do we all support the B N P and the E D L,vote them into office at the next election and hope they have the answer? Not a thing I care for but 5 years ago this idea would never have entered my mind.Frightening,isn't it?

While in Spain a few years back, my wife and I where walking in down-town Madrid. Two gypsy women were in front of us and closing the gap rapidly on a man, one of them speeded up and stooped a bit behind the man as the other waved a piece of newspaper, I assume as a distraction. I was about to yell out to the man when he turned and slapped her a shot so hard she flew back and landed on her bum in the street, the other one with the newspaper took off like a flash. Here's the rub...people in the street started applauding, and a COP strolled over to the man...AND PATTED HIM ON THE BACK!

We saw the bit about the pick pockets here on Oz TV, great advert for those travelling to UK for the games.
Also saw a bit today of the Petticoat Lane market, for a few moments I thought they had put up the wrong film, it looked more like a market place inn Cambodia, not UK.
But the boats keep coming here with our 'wonderful' Labor government. Now sometimes two or three a week. Very few I would suggest are genuine refugees, rathe people who can afford to pay to travel from Mid East to Indonesia, pay a small fortune to a people smuggler, in the hope of reaching thel and of milk and honey. we are now as soft a touch as UK. There are I am informed four countries at the top of the list for theses people. UK, NZ, Canada and here, why? As I understand it we all have the best social security systems going.


Happy daze John in Oz.
