Nero What utter bollocks. What f**king planet do you live on, or are you permanently medicated!!! We do live in a nanny state, and are constantly being told by those who think they know whats best for us, what we can and can,t do. NANNY STATE. Give me strength. Maybe people are fed up with the government and MP's on all sides of the political spectrum peddling lies and half truths. It's not just the media that peddle lies or are you too far gone to notice?
