+1 They're all professional politicians, who live in the bubble which
is Westminster, which in turn in inside the big bubble which is London.

I was driving along our local roads today, jouncing about avoiding the
well-known potholes, and watching for the new ones, and I thought: how
many of those ****s at Westminster *actually* do this from day to day --
and how much less the likes of Miliband, Clegg or Cameron?


Returning to topic: I think that this Cyprus affair has been very badly
reported. Yesterday, my main source of news (the Beeb of course) never
even mentioned money laundering, or the fact that the Cypriots pay
little or no tax(es) -- the Beeb headlines yesterday were worthy of your
average tabloid. I want a Panorama programme that explains the EU
thinking to me!

And thoidly: I've often thought seriously about gold coins over the last
decade or so, but always baulk at the prospect of _another_ kind of
slimy **** taking his percentage when he sells it to me, and then
another percentage when he buys it back from me, when I'll need the cash.
