* Breakdown Britain
Ian Duncan-Smith was all over the news with his report on family relationships or rather lack of, in the UK. He has discovered that in Britain there is an underclass.
Let me look, ah yes, this is the gentleman who was an ardent admirer of Mrs Thatcher. Does he mention that the tories created this class? No he doesn't. Obviously he has forgotten Ebay Britain, everything must go. Looking at recent political history I come across the phrase 'No pain, No gain'. That was pain for the poor and gain for the rich. Why he should produce this report when he knows full well there is no such thing as society I have no idea.
Mr Hammond minister for something or other was asked for a comment on this report, he had the slightly panicky look of a man who has just realised the excrement is just below the ceiling fan. His response was to whinge on about the tories not supporting new labours disastrous record. Never has so much bad legislation and pointless hectoring been produced by one government. Returning to the report and its statistics you could hear the phrase 'beyond the point of no return' echoing over the crumbling cliffs of Dover.

* Pinochet is dead.
The news announced that Mrs Thatcher reportedly said she was 'greatly saddened' by the death of this great General. I have my doubts that she is capable of saying anything, however, everyone is saddened when a murderous, thieving, torturing, democracy destroying, CIA employed, ex-dictator lives into his nineties there seems to be no justice in the world, one can only hope he was plagued with haemorrhoid's for most of his life.
