WE read about celebs being paid for insignificant stories. Men and women who serve our country who are kidnapped and paraded round on Iranian TV are criticised for getting paid to tell their story. I say let them make a bit of money out of their experience and leave them alone for doing so.

The Tory leader who agrees with troop deployment in Afghanistan and Iraq was quick to condemn those held captive hoping to gain party political advantage from prolonging it.

I have been hit really hard by SW Water this time. This is yet another money grabbing opportunity by a Tory privatised public utility.

There is no consideration about people or fixed incomes ability to pay.

I honestly can't see the Conservatives ever playing Santa Claus to the pensioners with £200 heating money like this government kindly did for us.
