Re: Corbyn and his lack of respect.

There are times I am almost embarrassed to read the thoughts of some members of the British expat community in Cyprus. As always well said Hudswell I agree with you 100%. We have common ground as men who took the Queens shilling and served our country, putting country before self. Long Live the Queen.

Re: Terrible tower block fire in London

Attempted Political point scoring from the Labour Party Leader, Labour held Council and Labour London Mayor, perhaps they should resign as the Incumbents at the time of this Disaster.

Our local municipality do not provide refuse bins. They do of course provide a refuse collection service which is what the tax is for.
