I would put in honest and straight people at the top who have a proven track record in that field, not an old etonian establishment figure.

Encourage and reward open and honest government.

Punish to the extent of the law and remove from their post (without pension)all wrong doers.

Make the law accessible to the man in the street and not a strangely archaic language.

Do you really believe that Huguenot, when 90+ percent of MP's have been found fiddling the expenses and have gone unpunished.


It was criticised by the man in charge that the information on the expenses had come to the notice of the general public. He lost his job but not his pension rights, and many believe he was the scapegoat for the greater good of the offenders.

None of these things has anything to do with ethnicity - if you are poor you are poor - and if you are first second or third generation migrant you are more likely to be poor than otherwise.


According to what I see angetastic, plenty of them appear to have large expensive vehicles to drive in.


I wonder if they feel they can speak their mind as this post is about 'gagging and freedom of speech'.

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
