Send Your Granny To Harvest Says Eton Mess

Daily Mirror this Morning, the caring Tory party, Owen Paterson wants OAP to work fruit picking, does that tell you something, We are all in it together.

Mikey, not sure how you work that one out. I've shot no one. I've simply provided a denial of a flawed report.

Mikey, //what person in is right mind would own up to spouting such drivel ! //

Get a grip. No politician would seriously suggest such a solution. Can you imagine what that would do to his career and his party? Utterly ridiculous.

If true........bloody stupid.

I think that we can say it is a personal opinion and not Tory Party policy.

Mikey.....creep! teacher's pet...........;-)

In the "good old days" you would have been taken to the back of the bike sheds and "duffed up"............;-)

If he did say this it would have been only in jest, trying to wind the lefties up. Apparently he has succeeded.

Recycling old rubbish, to jerk the strings of the volunteer puppets.
I already pick my own fruit and veg anyway. Now if he had said get the layabout youngsters back to working the fields......

Sqad....I find it very worrying that the Tory party should have someone in its midst that appears to have such stupid ideas in his head.

Of course it isn't Tory Party policy..........not even the Tories would be that daft !

By the way, in my days, the back of the bikes sheds were full of boys busy trying to smoke as many cigarettes as they could before the games master came round !

"I find it very worrying that the Tory party should have someone in its midst that appears to have such stupid ideas in his head."

whereas in your circus of a party its not just one person, its the whole damn lot that have stupid ideas in their head...
