      Witney is Camoclowns constituency Rosebay and it is where I live. Jack Straw used to live just up the road though.
      @wiseowl - it would be interesting to compare the wait for social housing as I know someone who needed a house and still had to wait eight months.

      So from the reactions of the two parties it is bad for the Tories but good for Labour then :heehee:

        Good afternoon after watching "PM's Question Time" it was different but no pressure was put on the PM and Jemmer's had no follow up question's,but slowly slowly catchee monkey is the right way to go;):blue thumb:

                  It was interesting to watch Mr Corbyn and Cameron in PMQ's today. I thought Corbyn did well, acting calmly and politely. However, his changing of the style and manner in which the Leadership of the Labour Party asks questions will not change the style and manner of the Conservatives.
                  The Conservative MP's were still asking loaded, pre-agreed, questions beginning with "Does the Prime Minister agree with me?" so that they could highlight a certain policy that the Tories wanted to gloat about. So the Tories are unrattled, unpressured, seemly quite at ease and amused at the new style of the Opposition's questions, and Cameron is still talking around a direct question, speaking in generalities and giving no real factual reply as though there has been no change of style in PMQ's..........well, that's a surprise:doh::heehee:

                    Is he anti royalist? seems to be some question about whether he would bow to the queen.

                    He seems to be working quite hard at offending people. :doh:

                    It's a pity because it detracts from what he is trying to get across. :noidea:
