It's just the usual madness - the Samaritans are in deep financial trouble because they lost their Lottery funding - but we can afford it for this shiftless lot. And why shouldn't the powers that be give £30 million to gypsy sites - it isn't their money, they don't have to go out and earn it. It's OURS.

The name of the game is political correctness. I think I might apply for Lottery funding, claiming that I am a one-legged, black, German-speaking, lesbian who wants to run a playgroup for badly behaved (sorry, Attention Deficit Disorder) children - what do you reckon my chances of a handout are?
