What a load of bollocks - the key word there is in the top right hand corner next to the date. Bloke I used to work with bought that paper (even the Sun was too highbrow for him) - utter garbage.

2 things.

Who exactly are the Taxpayers Alliance and what gives them the right to talk on behalf of around 20 million Tax Payers?

Water Canon. Why does anyone object to them? There are times with the twats around in this country where it's the only answer.

Because they are used on those who prefer to be The Great Unwashed.

1 Taxpayers aliance are about the world's silliest pressure group

2 Water cannons are dangerous and brutal, also generally people in London protest relatively peacefully in part due to fairly reasonable treatment by the police.
Lets not escalate it to people slinging petrol bombs with shit in them.

Tractor drivers are to be allowed to pull heavier weights and to drive faster but they don't even have to take an HGV test. That doesn't seem right to me.

Can you still drive a tractor on the road at 16? They can also drive on the road using red diesel and do not have to pay road fund licence or pass an MoT.

Basic problem is manufacturers are increasingly blurring the lines between road vehicles and off-road vehicles, and farmers are keeping all the off-road vehicle perks while benefitting from vehicles that can make far more use of the road than was ever anticipated when those concessions were agreed.

Is it just me or does anyone give two flying f**ks about the girls that have fled the country to join Isis or whatever its moniker is now. Daily reports of their last whereabouts, cctv pictures and constant news updates. F**k em, they weren't abducted, they know what they are doing - leave the story alone.

Just be glad you're not subjected to day after day coverage of Glasgow Rangers latest predicament. Plastered over the papers every day.

Just watched on the BBC 24 hour news the "launching" of an eagle with a camera strapped on its back from the top of the tallest building in the world, in Dubai - fascinating.

Jesus, that building is high.

If I thought that punching a TV producer would get Top Gear taken off the air I'd have done it myself years ago.
