I have been following the debate in the House of Commons on the BBC Parliament Channel on the Queens Speech and had to have a good laugh.

David Cameron keeps accusing Ed Milliband of not being able to give straight answers to any questions, talk about the kettle calling the pot black, must be a shortage of mirrors in number 10 ;-)

By the way, the contents of this Queen's Speech, backs those with aspiration who want to work hard, get on life, one which will make work pay, one which will create jobs, encourage growth, and reduce the deficit :-S

Sounds very like the last 3 Queen's Speeches :-D :-D :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Whenever I watch Prime Ministers Question Time, DC manages to ask questions of Ed Mili.

Well, I guess it is practice for DC when he is soon in opposition. No point in him answering EM's questions when DC will soon be Opposition Leader (if he is lucky and keeps his job as Tory leader:-))

At first I thought I must be listening to the debate on last years speech :-S

My own opinion is summed up in six words:-

nothing new - more of the same :-|

Roll on 2015 ;-)

What I find so disappointing is that David Cameron and his cronies are, so far out of touch, that they cannot understand, that all hard working people with aspirations are not middle class, and they will pay a price for that lack of understanding.

A large percentage of ordinary hard working people are employed in jobs that either pay the minimum wage or just above it, and these people will vent their feelings on this coalition government at the next election.
