Another week of incredible incidents within this retarded country of ours. Basil has had his snout well and truly boxed following his brush with the law. I hope that I'm not the only one who needs to know whether or not the complainant is a fully paid up council tax subscriber. Hopefully it was the Northants Police's first question.

Sitting Bull may be right that mass immigration is good for him (VOTING FODDER). From what I hear, I have not come across too many folk who agree with him. I suppose it comes from the same mind set as wanting to cover our green and pleasant land with the latest sales gimmick "Eco towns". Each town proposed would have a goodly percentage of what is referred to as affordable homes, these no doubt will be to house single parent families, affordable, because the rest of us will be paying for them. The balance, unaffordable homes, will remain empty in most cases because mortgages are becoming hard to come by, a problem which won't disappear for some considerable time. This will get in the way of what a smart government would do, which should be to grow as much wheat as possible with minimum labour requirements, the farmer, who can carry on living in his current home. (WHEAT ROCKETING IN PRICE). I took this subject up with my MP last year when he mentioned one of the proposals for our borough is a requirement of 20,000 new homes. I put it to him that we need to know what the intentions are for the disposal of rubbish from 60,000 wheelie bins. I was already too aware that a third (recycled) is dispatched on a slow boat to China. In addition, let us consider the ultimate threat of sewage disposal; we can't continue indefinitely separating this from drinking water. We then have the consideration of garden watering during drought. Where are we to site the extra reservoirs? The decimation of more green belt no doubt.

This week we had the opportunity of seeing Harriet Harperson standing in at PMQ's. It doesn't matter who it is, the same untruths are spouted. Loved the one about a strong economy. The news which followed shortly afterwards went on about the devastated mortgage market. Add to this the collapse of a bank and we get a a better picture of what has happened to our economy under the stewardship of juvenile government.
