You probably used one of the words on Fred's List of Forbidden Words, Pollyandrew. No, I don't know what they are -- it's a secret that only Mr. Pruitt knows, and possibly badanov. I don't even know where Mr. Pruitt keeps the list, which is probably just as well, although I'm sure it would be educational. ;-)

#3 The current government is not conservative, it is a coalition government of tories and lib-dems. That is one reason it is making changes. There is a broad consensus to cover left and right. We are going to need that kind of consensus here before we fix our problems.

#4 The Democrats do the same thing here. We have Americans collecting 99 weeks of benefits while foreign workers man the shop.

You're quite right, Nimble Spemble -- I forgot that key little detail. Thank you for the correction. :-)
