Water charges - a bone of contention since their inception two years or so ago, and the cause of many demonstrations plus Irish Water workers being intimidated while trying to do their work.

I thought the disgraceful confrontation of Cameron showed the idiot up for what he is, he never thought Sadiq Khan would be selected.. I would think Cameron's nauseating attack will lose him any future election. The lot of these Charlatans in Westminster are aware of the damage caused by his outburst, ( I still think every Muslim in London) voted for Khan and a few more besides, remember the garage fiasco where masses of voting papers were found in the last election?

I didn't vote in the local elections this time. My husband did and he voted for a local independent candidate. He was highly delighted to read that he was elected.

I've heard about this Osc. To me it seems a very odd thing for such a fuss to be made about :? :shock: :?

I would always have agreed with that - but in view of the government we have ended up with here, finally, after over three months of dillydallying, nods, winks, bargaining, self-interest, extreme parish pump politicking and almost total concentration on one issue, I have no idea on how I will vote in the next general election which we will surely have within a year :roll: :roll:


Having followed this a little Osc, I can understand your view!
