What An Entitled Bunch We Are!


The UK has the worst statutory paternity leave in Europe, and it’s putting parents off having more children, a survey shared with ITV News has found.

Oh dear! The poor things.

Who’s choice is it to have children? Obviously not the government.

So why should they, and ultimately, us have to bear the costs.

Not Just A Problem In Fareham

A councillor has said more needs to be done by police to tackle speeding and anti-social driving behaviour across Fareham.

It’s not just Fareham that needs the additional focus. Here, in Waterlooville, we are also plagued by antisocial driving and speeding.

Councillor Pal Hayre is right to be asking for more measures to be put in place, but they need to be county-wide. Thats just me being parochial, this is a countrywide problem.

It’s all very well expecting the police to do more but they need the resources. They need more feet on the ground, more wheels in the street.
