Hi

Believe is probably too strong a word. Hopeful probably sums it up, and with 2 parties agreeing at this stage then it probably has more chance of becoming reality than some forgotten clause in an election manifesto.

All the best

Tories are typically smaller governement/less interference orientated. The points mentioned above are actually quite good press fodder, if they do follow through with them it'll cover the more unsavoury things they're going to have to do.

Sort of; sorry, we have to let you go, however, we've just saved you £100 by not insisting you get an ID card. Oh! and if you want to go shoplifting to make ends meet, remember those CCTV camera's?

Every cloud...
