    Yorkshire Post (which I buy once in a blue moon) by Bernard Ingram. Suggest you read it. Total common sense.

    Can't see him in the online version but it's to be hoped it's not his usual living in the past Thatcher groupie type nonsense.

    June 2017 Article from Yorkshire Post from Bernard Ingham who was Press Secretary to the " Milk snatcher." Some of their then colleagues in the Cabinet Office who I met when I used to go down to Westminster referred to them as "Hinge and Bracket" after the so called comedy duo.
    There was nothing funny about Ingham and Thatcher either.!

    Don't know if it is what was being referred to in the OP.?

    At a guess going on your usual posts it's about some right wing policy suggestion.
    At a guess I'd say someone suggested getting the sick out of their hospital beds to fill pot holes in,
    Near enough.?

    Pretty much as expected from a has-been Tory hypocrite, who was press secretary for arguably the second worse PM of all time (at least Thatcher stuck to her decisions not U-turned at every opportunity).

    Jeremy Corbyn is a sick joke programmed only to go hard left, U turning...


    I'll stop reading there. For a start how can he be programmed to go one way then U- turn? Terrible writing.

    The country elected Corbyn and you need to get over it and get behind him. Sick of people undermining his leadership

    No country should get behind any leader that has policies that are not for the good of the majority and are only good for the priveldged few. Easy innit.

    You can't read much if that is the best article you've ever read.
