What a charmer.















Business as usual!
Don’t see how that is tasteless to be honest.
Quite. The world doesn’t stop turning because something surprising and newsworthy happen, as tragic as that event may be.
No story here.
At least he wasn’t trying to bury bad news…
Good thing his name was not Westland, I suppose.
What a disgusting thing to say. They’re not kidding when they call the tories the nasty party
Since when is a tragedy like this just ‘travel disruption’ people have died! But sadly not unexpected!
i’ll tell you what a tragedy is… people having to go to supermarkets to buy cd’s and dvd’s cos hmv closed down.
Often read your blog but for once dont get your issue, terrible event of course but just for once good to see anything from government that indicates there is some understanding of the need to get work done.
no chance of a guillotine then – more a chopper
