The previous version of this thread seems to have disappeared too, so here goes:

If anybody finds the old thread I'll be happy to see this one deleted.

Haha, imagine the look on the mail readers' face at Wimbledon when they find out

A) That the strawberries for their strawberries and cream were picked by filthy immigrants

and

B) That there are no strawberries and cream this year because there aren't enough immigrants

That would be just about the ultimate Mail reader paradox. The middle class suffers due to a lack of immigrants

This is all just a liberal lie, the immigrant numbers haven't decreased, they're just all on the dole now.

Failed asylum seekers' NHS boost

Here's one to confuse the Mail.

Patients in the devolved Welsh NHS getting better treatment that those in England: "Bah! Why can't patients in England get equal treatment?"

Er, the patients are failed asylum seekers: "Hurrah for the separate English NHS!"

The fact that trust in journalists from mid-market newspapers (amongst which the Mail presumably classes itself) is plummeting even faster than trust in ministers from the NuLab government is very amusing.

However, trust in family doctors goes down while trust in "people who run large companies" actually increases? That I cannot make out.

from my local news


Fruit farmers in a pickle over labour crisis

http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/artic ... e_id=42428



Quote:
Alistair Brook, owner of Langdon Manor Farm in Faversham, says he still needs to find nearly a third of his picking team.

And he fears a shortage if the weather turns warmer and there are not enough strawberry pickers.

He said: “It is worrying. We normally have people booked in from early spring. Now we just hope and pray that more people will come forward. It is not a good way to run a business."

Mr Brook blames the Government for cutting the number of work visas for seasonal migrant workers from Poland, Latvia and Lithuania, who are now preferring to stay in their own countries.




Mind you I wonder haoe long it will be before this turns up.

Pensioner nabbed drink-driving - on a mobility scooter

http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/artic ... e_id=42410

Quote:
Mrs Jones is now embroiled in a row over whether she can be prosecuted at all, after a court heard her scooter cannot be classed as a "motor vehicle".

Mrs Jones said: "I hold my hands up and I’m happy to take the rap. I was drink-driving so I should be punished."

A Crown Prosecution Service source called the case "a total mess".
