Why, Oh Why, Oh Why do we allow louts such freedom? Not only are they probably communists, but louts have this week been revealed as threatening to smash up branches of McDonalds and Starbucks.

If only the Government and the guacomole-munchers of Islington were a little less concerned with helping Johnny-foreigner and a little more concerned with the rights of the hard working majority of our glorious Nation, then perhaps louts would not get away with such treachery.

That certainly seems to be the opinion of Michael Howerd who this week said, "I like sponge".

So, next time you are at a dinner party and the menu involves sun dried tomatoes, just consider whether you think that threatening to smash up branches of McDonalds and Starbucks is acceptable behaviour.
