    I don’t find that offensive at all, I quite like that they’re showing a sense of humour, almost laughing at themselves. But then what do I know.

    I’m interested in how many nUKIP voters voted out of protest and have no plans to vote for them in the GE, although personally, I think there are much better ways of registering your protest. I’d also like to know how many UKIP voters actually have any idea of their other policies. There seems ot be so much bias in the reporting of this. It’s not really clear where they stand on a lot of other issues, the same with Europe, it’s not just case of voting yes or no, it depends on what terms are agreed. If we vote out are we then to be in the same position as say, Switzerland, where we have to be governed by treaties but have no say in how those treaties are made? I think 16 yr olds should be able ot voite in this asa it affects them and their ability to be able to work/study aboprad etc too, it’s of no concern to some 70 yr old man, unless he’s one of the thousands of 70 yr olds who go over to Spain every year and drain their health resources. But that’s allowed, yes? Because they are proper British people and not Bulgarians etc.

    I also resent the people who come to the door asking for donations, in one week I had a cancer charity, a children’s charity and a charity raising money for tigers at the door. I have a policy of not giving money in those situations, despite their quite pushy tactics.
    As for the Salvation Army, I’d rather give my money to an organisation based on helping people, not recruiting members and one that doesn’t condemn homosexuality.

    Because you are throwing millions at a problem it will not solve, the UK is very good at chucking money at the end product, but not legislating to get rid of the cause…

    Simply legislate to reduce the amount of added Sugars, salts and saturated fats in food products… that will reduce the above without chucking money at it..

    What has the amount of sugar/salt etc in food got to do with anorexia? It’s a mental illness, nothing to do with eating too much sugar.

    I have to agree with Bmused I don’t think the plane is ever going to be found. There have been some many reports and leads that have lead to nothing. In all honesty I don’t think they have any idea where it might be and may never know. It probably is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean 1000’s of feet down.

    I was reading about this and how it’s going to fly around the world in one go. But how does the pilot go to the toilet? Nappies? A special seat that converst into a comode? Wouldn’t want the job of emptying that out at the end of the trip.
