    4) Privatised companies (utilities / rail) under Tory governments are making a killing exploiting with no alternative.

    I'm no greenie but I also don't have a problem with recycling when it takes no more effort than traditional disposal.

    I would have thought shred and recycle was standard procedure. If I can do it....

    Yeah, we're due some decent tory sex scandals. Always classier than the likes of Prescott waving his chipolata at his secretary.

    No Tory party self-destruction is complete until David Willetts is photographed trussed up in a St. Trinian's uniform with Max Mosley sucking Asda Smartprice dog food out of his nostrils through a golden straw.

    Interestingly the local council could fine Letwin for dumping business items in a public bin.

    started a topic Are the Tories about to self destruct?

    Are the Tories about to self destruct?

    First Liam Fox and now this: BBC News - Oliver Letwin dumps documents in park bins

    He was photographed by the Daily Mirror disposing of private letters and government papers over five days.

    The paper claims more than 100 were thrown away including correspondence on terrorism, national security and constituents' private details.

    Mr Letwin acknowledged he sometimes disposed of copies of letters in the park but denied they were "sensitive".
    Whatever next?

Working...
