They were innocent political prisoners anyway, oh yes the Israelis are a disgrace and America should stop funding them.

Mr Roper i concur. The Jewish government is a very vicious war loving one which treats outsiders like second rate citizens.
Israel has killed thousands of innocents over the decades, gawd, it is awful. As a politically astute fella, i beleiev Israle should be treate d as a pariah state.
Even my irritating father despises the Israeli Governments tactics.

kenchan- Because Hamilton may do what others do does not make it right.
Us British are well known for our fair play and loyalty to our country.
Hamilton is a thug, who's aggressive driving may one day maim or even kill. His lack of respect for other drivers and his refusal to pay his way to the country that brought him up, fills me with disgust.
His type should not be supported by true Brits like me and my father.

Blimey, the more i hear about Japan the worser it seems.
These stories seem like they come from a third world country, worse than the stories my dad used to tell me about Britain before the war.
Why don't they have a NHS so poor people don't have to worry. surely that is the civilised and humane way for a wealthy nation to go.

I heard there's a lot of ginger beers in Japan, but mostly hidden away, so most people aren't aware.

As a batchelor, not a confirmed one of course, i weigh up the pros and cons in a relationship. Gawd, tax breaks for people who are commited to staying together sounds greta to me. Does it matter if the gay section of our society wishes to marry? I m very liberated, and beleiev we should all be treated equally. My father is the opposite shouting "poofta" and the like when camp person are on the televison for an evening. The old fashioned views held be elderly person such as my father will be outdated soon. We can all be assured that thr governments of the world will recognise all type of marrige.
Oh yes, i think my vision of the future seems rosey and very nice i'm sure.

What a waste of public money. Yet again the priviledged are allowed to make incompetent decisions that cost us all, yet are allowed off scot free. A small business man such as myself would be left to go bankrupt, if i acted in the same way as the "old boy network". The taxpayer would not pay to keep a normal working mans business open if he ruined it through greed.
All the "bail outs" will lead to tax increases and less pension increases for old people like my father.
Gordon Brown is no more Labour than cameron. A true Labour leader would make laws to get these corrupt bankers banged up, and lose all thei ill gotten gains. Ohyes, as a man who works hard 6 days a week, i know more about public feelings than these isolated politicians. They are not living in the real world. If their family are ill, they can get paid hlep at our expense because of their "status". yet, when my increasingly annoying father is ill, or pretends to be i am his unpaid skivvy, and the doctor says, as he ages, he will get worse.
it'snot fair, why can't i have alife, the government don't help me out. I want a life!!

Oh gawd! Listen to all the old timers moaning away. This is as bad as sitting indoors for an evening with my father.
The future is there for the taking for younger fellas like meself. I can see myself now in twenty years, running a successfull business. A luxury yacht, travelling to far off places whenever i desire, with dusky maidens at my beck and call.
Oh yes, the time has come for us working class fellas to fullfill our aspirations. Time for the priviledged few to make way for us hard working forward looking types.
Yes, once my father ceases to destroy all my plans, i shall be a force to be reckoned with in the business world. I can imagine all that lovely lolly now, oh yes i desertve it, io've always worked meself til i drop.
