    How can you run a respect agenda and have it headed up by what looks like a fat @rsed rug munching card carrying visitor to the Ilse Of Lesbos.

    The problem is most people have decided they are not responsible to anyone.

    It must be galling for my fellow contractors in the UK to have pay taxes from their hard earned income to fund this kind of political nonsense.

    At one level it does smack of the most shoddiest form of communism, at another level is blatant hypocricy as the only concern NL politicians have is not for any community, but rather themselves.

    Which is well and good,but they would rather deceive the public by using this pseudo communist rhetoric, which any decent person would find completely repugnant and must therefore be met with a firm rebuttal.

    The one in Viz was a bit of a bastard. If I remember correctly he used to berate the public for tulipting in his toilets.

    No, as I said: I didn't cycle round the park in Doncaster, you are not allowed to do that.

    I thought you lived with the king of Denmark and drove a fleet of Italian supercars?

    What's all this talk now of cycling round a park in Docaster ffs?

    Not very "contractor lifestyle" is it

    They made a good few of the park keepers in Doncaster redundant.

    You should have seen what was spelled out in the flower beds come spring.

    Laugh?! I would have fallen of my bike, but one is not allowed to ride bikes in the park. Even though part of the park was laid out for people to do their cycling proficiency test.

    You really think that this latest piece of propaganda will make any difference after 9 years of talking about it and pretending to tackle it, while actually encouraging the problem?

    Looks like back to basics plus fines to me. I don't understand what all the fuss is about.

    Louise Casey said the role of authority figures like... park keepers was vital.
