    There is no book – yet. Tony Hearne has yet to find a publisher. We produced some adaptations based on his memoirs.

    When spending all that amount of money doesn’t leave the way open for people in there paying money to friends and relatives for work that is never done, does anyone keep check of this, may be they do just like they keep check of the poliaticians when they employ some one or claim their expenses. Is this why the price to build it keeps going up.

    Gordon has today supposedly ‘backed down’ over the 10p tax row… He’s just fudged a few patches on! There must be thousands of people like me,who are on low pay due to working part time,do not yet get their pension (under 65 male),claim no tax credits,do not scrounge in any way from the state, and still lose out due to the 10p band being scrapped. He could have just upped the tax free allowance £200 and helped us all.
