Labour can take the full political responsibility for the mess we’re in. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to differentiate between the 3 main parties now as they don’t have any political ideology – they do whatever they can to score points against the others, even if it means turning their back on their voters. Labour are the worst for this, as can be seen in Millibands completely inconsistent views.

I could tolerate Labour being in, so long as the 2 Eds were not a part of it. Ed Balls is as responsible as any one man for our current woes, yet he takes no responsibility for this.

I’ll be voting UKIP, mainly because I’ve lost faith in the main 3, I want tighter controls on immigration and I want a referendum on the EU.

Is seems Wicken Bonhunt has seen its share of crashes:

“One of the developments of the early years of the 20th century was air travel. In the village, confidence in this new idea was damaged in 1903 when the airship Beta crashed in the fields behind the house. The idea of air travel grew and political motives saw the increased demand for airfields close by which would greatly affect the number of aeroplanes flying overhead.”

“This alteration to the road was seen as important because the area around Wicken had several air bases. Two further air disasters occurred in Wicken; the next in 1939 when a Wellington bomber crashed spectacularly in the field behind the house although the crew were all saved. The crew of a Canadian plane were not so fortunate when they crashed in almost the same spot two years later. The engine caught fire and the plane was wrecked. The sole survivor was an airman who had bailed out at the last moment. He was severely injured on landing and was helped by Frank Walters who lived in the village. Frank was a veteran of World War One and a sergeant and section commander in the Home Guard. He took charge and led the rescue party whilst waiting for the RAF Regiment to arrive on the scene.”

No winners there at all. The nation loses a sculpture by one of the greatest 20th century artists, and two criminals go to jail for a year for £46!!:(

The sculpture was recovered.

There are some really nasty comments on the bottom of the BBC page!

I wish them all the best, good health!

By complete chance PA474 flew down the Derwent when I was dog walking there a few weeks ago. It’s a very special experience, and would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to make the journey – no matter how far, it’s worth it!

At the end of the day the tax would be paid by the same people…..the customer.

exactly.

Well, they seem to manage with the current tax system.

If you don’t want this to happen, stop buying from large groups and support your local business.

Unfortunately, we (society in general) turned our back on them years ago, and there are very few left.
