This two tier policing is disgraceful. It's as if there is one approach for people who helpfully film themselves committing crimes and another approach when there is insufficient evidence.

Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

The SDP candidate was one of the higher scoring also-rans in Clacton. The SDP you say? These are the people who ignored the fact that David Owen closed the party down, a party that, in fact, remained after the rest of the SDP had merged with the Liberals to form the Lib Dems. Anyway. 1/2

Nigel certainly doesn't find it too much of a bother to fill in a piece of paper when it comes to claiming expenses (see EU scandals past). What was it about filling in the piece of paper to declare a gift of £5million that made this filling-in so difficult, I wonder.
