David Blunkett is proposing, er, charging victims of miscarriages of justice for the time they were in prison - cos they shouldn't have got free board - er -

I'm not often struck dumb but - er - I'm genuinely lost for words here.....

Just checking the date.

No not April 1st.

Is this guy off his rocker? That is the maddest idea I've heard this year.

The naivety beggars belief.

Hello Surrealist and Alex

The trouble with David Blunkett is that he has no vision.

That's what a friend says.

Carol, you realise that no-one outside the UK will understand that comment. (Actually, I think that makes it even funnier!)

what happened to my post re d blunkett last night - was I censored or did it just not reach through cyber space or did MI5 intervene or did the people who bug MI5 intervene or did....I'll put it down to cyber gremlins - unless Bob reveals I did get censored? can't remember being anything other than mildly political -

OK - its ok - I've not been zapped - its still there on another thread - phew....thought I'd trodden over the boundaries of what's acceptable on this board which are hard to see - I will return later with more stories of Blunkett the lock em up and throw away the key - or throw them away even better-man...sure there's plenty more where Surr got his bizarre story - I spied something in the news tonite - I'll be back C
