| Amid the political machinations now under way in the Nu Labia camp and the rising pressure to unseat Grim Gordon, I feel that they are suddenly realising that we do not, in fact, zip up at the back and we, the unwashed masses, are the coal that fires their gravy train. Fixed scameras are here to sta... |

| There is a story ( I suspect apocryphal ) in Naval folklore about a court order to a Port Admiral to give location of a particular sailor to enable service of divorce papers. The Admirals response was to give a lat/long position that was accurate at the time the court order was delivered. With the ... |

| Eminent people can spout all they want about these satanic machines, but they are here to stay. They are purely revenue generators - and revenue is something that this wastrel government is in dire need of. We are stuck with them, along with 'green taxes' due to the Nu Labia ethos of 'splash out - t... |
