An independent magazine for independent people of Leyton and surrounding areas.
There are many free publications in circulation so what makes Leyton Life different I sense you thinking.
Me! OK I like to think the aim ultimately will be to equip people with information so they are able to exercise their basic rights when confronted with awkward organisations.
I believe there are enough facilities and funding around but people are not getting these services because of the few people not doing their jobs either properly or not at all.
Leyton Life actively encourages people to send in contributions and issues, to share with others.

It's good to give!

madamright — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 09:17:49 CDT

This page is about giving as stated below, there are several interesting attachments at the bottom of the page.
Do you have something to share? keep in touch and feel free to send any constructive comments and articles in.

When people talk about giving to a cause they automatically assume this has something to do with money. Unfortunately this is the right assumption in most cases. Leyton Life would like to raise your awareness in other methods of giving. Firstly giving doesn’t have to be linked to a global/national organisation, you can give at a very local or personal level. The art of giving can consist of giving some time, to either an organisation or individual people. This time can be spent talking, listening, assisting in some light work, or other activities, walking, playing games etc. If you know of someone who has difficulties getting around, why not ask them if they need anything from the shops, or take them with you if possible. It is amazing how much of a difference such small gestures can make. Another good way of giving would be the donation of unwanted items. A great time to declutter at home, especially if you have lots of new items and need a home for the old or unwanted gifts you have no use for. If you have children then let them get involved in assisting you to pack the items, and give them a brief outline of how things could be reused by other people even though you may no longer need them. Most sought after products: un- perishable food, toiletries, clothing, brick a brac To register your interest in giving some time, items, or if you are too busy and live a minimalist lifestyle and prefer to make a financial contribution please email cheryl@thecornerstone.org.uk Alternatively visit www.freecycle.org Have you ever considered the following? Well there is no time for hesitation but quick thinking when you are a member of the medical team. Why not look at the following forms of giving now or in the future. The Anthony Nolan trust DESPERATELY needs more donors from all communities but especially the black, mixed race, and other ethnic communities to save more lives. If you are between 18 and 40 years old, in good health & weigh at least 8 stone but not over weight in comparison to height, then please join the Bone Marrow Register. You could be someone's lifesaver. Ignorance doesn’t save lives – joining the register can. We welcome all to come along and register. www.anthonynolan.org.uk. Organ donation not a topic many like to discuss, but the reality of the matter is the loss of one life could save others. Why not check out the options available www.uktransplant.org.uk Or call 084... open 24 hours Give Blood 084... or www.blood.co.uk this is also a way in which you could potentially be a life saver. Check out their website for real life stories. Thank You Leyton Life

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT!
These are the Rules of our Forum Conduct

As you visit The Leyton Life Site we ask you to keep the following guidelines in mind. We strive for an environment where everyone feels able to voice his or her opinions, thoughts and questions without being judged or flamed. Please help us keep the wiki this way.

Play Nice
The rule that comes above all others is Play Nice. No one comes here to be bullied or insulted.All are welcome here. You can tell someone that you disagree with their idea or opinion and give reasons why, in a constructive fashion, but turning comments into personal insults will get that comment deleted. NO EXCEPTIONS.But if he calls another user "stupid," the comment is gone.

Censorship
As moderators we strive to be impartial and objective. We will never delete a page, content or comment solely because we disagree with the opinion stated. Nor will we keep a comment that contains offensive material solely because we agree with it. We will however delete any comments that break the above rule, regardless of the opinion expressed in them. If a discussion has not yet started around an inflammatory comment, a moderator will delete it without notice. If you are a registered user, we will send you a message, when warranted, to explain why a comment, page or content was deleted.

Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation
In contrast to a chat room, where you might find yourself typing quickly to keep up with a conversation, in the wiki format you have all the time in the world to edit your page or write your comment. Before you hit that save button, take a minute to look over what you've written and make sure it all sounds and looks right. There's a neat spellcheck button in the EasyEdit Toolbar (and if you're using Firefox 2.0, you'll have auto spellcheck as you type). Keep in mind that spellcheck won't catch misspelled words that are actually other words. For example, instead of "hit" a few sentences ago, I wrote "his." Looking over this paragraph, I saw that and fixed it.
Also, as a point of Internet Etiquette, TYPING IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF SHOUTING and no one likes it. On a related note, tYpInG lIkE tHiS iS rEaLlY hArD tO rEaD; please try to avoid it. Same thing for bolding, italicising or underling large sections of text. Formatting like that should be used for emphasis. People are more likely to read your text and get your point if you make it easy on the eye.

Advertising/Promoting Other Sites
The only advertising allowed within the pages of this wiki is on the Links page and only Leyton related sites are permitted to be advertised there. If you advertise for a non-Leyton site anywhere on the pages or in comments, it will be deleted. If moderators notice a habit of continually posting spam links, you will be banned. For registered users, your profile page (which can only be edited by yourself and moderators) is yours to use however you please. Feel free to use your profile to advertise your personal site.

We also ask that you read the Other Wiki Code of Conduct, By Clicking Here!

If you find someone else Breaking, any of these Rules listed above Please Contact the Moderators, If you need immediate assistance Email the Admin team at feedback.leytonlife@googlemail.com

Editor’s note...

Dear Reader Welcome to Leyton Life,

I have a new section in this edition called "express yourself" and would like to thank the contributors for this. Had it not been for them I would not have been able to include the different styles for you to read. Please feel free to send you’re contributions in, and if you wish to you can stay anonymous.

I have a website in progress for all of you who prefer surfing to flicking. The aim of this website is to be interactive (just like the magazine). I want people to be able to go there voice their opinions, concerns, gossip etc. It is open to the world but Leyton residents are getting a special invite from me. So get there before others do! You can submit you’re favourite recipes, handy tips, jokes, pearls of wisdom, spooky experiences in Leyton and beyond! .etc…etc…. I am not one for setting boundaries so feel free to "express yourself". It is a community magazine so keep that in mind!

Leyton has a lot to offer, especially for the youngsters ,and there are great facilities around with helpful staff which is great. I placed my son in one of the summer sports courses at SCORE, and he enjoyed it very much. The prices were reasonable, less than a new computer game! I think it is important to get kids out away from the TV, and streets doing something constructive. Being active and experiencing new thing’s can only be a good thing. So look out for their latest activities in this issue and the website. Local leisure centres facilitate the young and the old so get out there and start getting fit.

I would like to thank all my regular and new advertisers as without their support I wouldn’t be able to fund this project. So Dear Reader don’t just flick through the adverts take you’re time and consider them. You never know you may discover that special something here. Fancy a take away why not try The Curry King or T’s Deli.

Yours,

Yasmin

Leyton is a vibrant and multicultural area in East London with an interesting history. Its name means "Town on the River Ley" - since 1570 the Ley has been known as the Lee or Lea - although the name of Leyton has been around since the 9th Century. In 1722 Daniel DeFoe describes Leyton as an expanding area, with new houses mainly for the richest citizens, in Tour Through the Eastern Counties of England.

In 1965, Leyton was moved from the administration of Essex, into the London Borough of Waltham Forest. A plaque in Coronation Gardens now commemorates this fact.
Let us know your views on the news at the

_____________________________________________________________

During World War II, Leyton suffered as a target because of its close proximity to Temple Mills Yard. ?
After the war, work on the Central line extension from Liverpool Street to Leyton was resumed. Part built stations and tunnels had been abandoned during the war, or turned into shelters or munitions factories. On 5th May 1947, it was finally opened and Leyton became linked to central London via the Underground. The Leyton Signal Box, originally built in 1899, was fitted with a lever to switch between automatic operation for the tube by day and manual operation for British Rail stock by night. Sadly the signal box was demolished during the building of the M11 Link Road in the late 1990s.
_____________________________________________________________

In 1886 a pavilion was built at Leyton Cricket Ground becoming the headquarters of Essex Cricket Club until 1933. The pavilion still stands and the grounds have more recently been used for council firework displays.

CREDIT CRUNCH There has been widespread panic in the financial markets both here and in the US about the credit crunch. Affecting those who may have been forced to take out expensive mortgages due to their own bad credit ratings. It’s not as bad here as you may think but getting advice quickly is key to minimising further problems in the future. In the UK there are a number of ways to prevent eviction proceedings for Mortgage arrears, pr to deal with them once they have started. Firstly prospective buyers must consider their current and future earnings potential when taking out a mortgage and avoid sub prime mortgages which will be more expensive due to the risk to the lender. Once arrears accrue it is important to have a proper realistic financial statement to show the lender how the arrears can be paid. Check if you are entitled to benefits, you may be entitled to help with housing costs met via Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance or Pension Credit. Depending on family size, any disability and housing costs an entitlement can be possible. Other benefits can help too-for example tax credits. Cut spending where appropriate and ensure priority debts are paid, mortgage, council tax etc. Find ways to get stuff cheap, or even free. The internet is great for this. We help many people resolve their debt problems but we are overstretched due to both increasing demand and lack of staff as our funding has reduced. There are plenty of places to get advice over the phone or via the internet so our advice is don’t panic but act quickly. Further advice from the CAB or other organisations advising on debt. Debt-line are a good source of help and can be contacted on 0808 808 4000 . Gary Martin Welfare Benefits Caseworker/Supervisor Walthamstow CAB, 167 Hoe St, E17 3AL

News from the Lower Lea Valley The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be the catalyst for the regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley in east London.
The area in and around the Olympic Park is a site of huge potential. It has a young, diverse community but is also home to significant areas of deprivation.

Much of the site itself is contaminated, derelict and abandoned. The waterways in the area have suffered from years of neglect: water quality is poor, river walls are in a bad condition and the landscape is scarred with abandoned shopping trolleys and other rubbish strewn along the river channels.

The 2012 Games will help to revitalise this part of London and help to open the east of the capital to development opportunities. The new shopping area at Stratford City will be an important part of this growth.

Published in Sept/Oct 2007

Years old, married with two children & one grandchild, but another due in November! Born in Ilford, but moved to Essex Road, Leyton in 1956, where my dad (86 years young) still resides. Married to Glynis in 1974 @ St. Paul’s Church in Essex Road, which was demolished & is now part Barclay Nursery & part Cornerstone centre. I have lived in Chesterfield Road since 1981, so am very much a Leyton man, although I work as an Administration Manager for a Dutch-owned company in Brentwood, Essex. I have always loved sport, especially cricket & football. As a boy, I vividly remember walking down to the county ground in the High Road to watch Essex, as until the late 1960’s this was their main home ground. I have supported Leyton Orient since my dad first took me to Brisbane Road in 1957, so vividly remember the promotion to Division 1 in 1961-62 & of course all the relegations since then!! I played Hockey for the Old Loughtonians for over 30 years, ending up in the veterans & finally retiring 3 years ago – age having finally caught up with me. My great passion is Amateur Theatre & I am a member of local drama groups, Wadham Players & Global Theatre Company and have just returned from a great week performing at the famous Minack Theatre in Cornwall. Having lived in the same house for over 25 years, I have of course, seen a number of changes. It is true to say that 25 years ago, I knew most of the people in the surrounding houses, but now, I only know my next door neighbours; that is perhaps the saddest aspect, and I feel that we are now living in our own little “boxes”, instead of a community or neighbourhood. On the plus side, Chesterfield is a nice quiet road, with very little (if any) crime & the only problems we have is finding somewhere to park in the evening, as our road get lots of visitors’. As an AmDram enthusiast, I am appalled by the fact that our borough of Waltham Forest has no theatre space, of any kind; all we have is the odd council run hall, which are so expensive to hire, as to make it absolutely impossible for a small drama group with no funding to be able to put on a show. The council then close the halls (Chingford Assembly Hall, Lloyd Park etc), due to lack of use!!! Surely, it would not be impossible to build a multi-use space to exhibit & develop all the diverse cultural activities that abound in the borough, thus helping to foster an understanding of these different cultures & help make us a “community”, rather than a lot of different “communities!”

Blowing It

by
Claude Fontanelle

Issue 7 - Sept/Oct 2007

When you’re lying in your lonely bed

Knocking the truth in your confused head

Just think twice over what you did

What was done and what was said

Did he promise never to leave

Or was that just a myth

You wanted to believe

Was he using you or were you using him?

Was he taking advantage or just giving in?

If he won’t have a thing to do with you

Who’s laughing? Who’s crying?

Who’s fooling whom?

Ask for love but don’t expect to get it

It’s better to live life to the full, not regret it

The selfishness you accuse of him

Might sometimes be your own unspoken sin

Who’s taking advantage?

Who’s given in?

So don’t run around shouting ‘he did me wrong’

If he’s no longer with you

He never did belong

Their World

by
Saira Ahmed

Issue 8 Nov/Dec 2007

We feed the animal that is within us
We feed the hunger through others weakness
slowly picked, slowly grafted

Blinded by the 'world' that's crafted
trusting media, the telly, the radio

Brains storing false hopes and news
making no room for an opinion or voice
Leaving us without the freedom of choice
The more we get, the more we want
The more we make, the more we take

Our spirits and passions are dying inside
Afraid of being the one to confide

Open your eyes to see the masked affairs
Open your ears to hear that silent cry
Lend your hand to the innocent that falls
Seal the lies when they do call

Being afraid is something we fear
Trusting and believing will never compare
Let the world teach you things as we are
nothing but guests
War, poverty, power, control all needs to be at rest

............................................................................................................................................................................................. St Georges Day Wednesday 23 April 2008 www.stgeorgesholiday.com (Take an unofficial bank holiday visit website for full details) It has become common knowledge that people in England work longer hours, have less holidays, pay more for goods and services. I have now discovered we have fewer bank holidays in comparison to our European members. Portugal & Spain12-14 days, Italy 12 days, Germany 9-12 days, France 11 days, England 8 days Source:IDS Europe and www.startinbusiness.co.uk Most countries have a bank holiday set aside to celebrate their national day. Would it be so awful to have a national day for England? I have listed some countries and their National days; these countries in my opinion have strong links with England, and within this borough. So if they can have a special day, to celebrate their country, maybe we should as well. Ireland St Patrick’s Day 17th March Canada Day 1st July USA: National Independence Day 4th July Pakistan: Republic Day 23rd March India: Republic Day 26th January Anniversary of the Foundation of the People’s Republic of China 1st October Poland Constitution Day 3rd May Swedish Flag Day 6th June Australia ANZAC Day 26th January Jamaica Independence Day 6th August Trinidad & Tobago Independence Day 31 August St George has the status of being the patron saint of England, his emblem being a red cross on a white background is the flag of England. Part of this logo is also used for the British flag. St George’s emblem was imported by Richard the lion heart during the 12th century.

Democracy where is it going? Having had time to reflect on what is happening around the world. It has become very clear that people in the UK are satisfied in living under an illusion of having democratic rights. An illusion I sense you wonder? Well what else could it be? If we don’t conform we get penalised. Current and past events in Burma, China, Kenya, Pakistan, South Africa, and Palestine/Israel have had individuals killed, if not persecuted for their fight for freedom & democracy. But in England the voting levels are low; people have a lack of knowledge regarding politics. Some don’t even know who the Prime Minister is! Our young generation is too busy fighting and killing one another, rather than standing together and fighting for their rights with regards to politics. Even the political candidates show very little enthusiasm regarding their policies, aims etc… Take the local by election for example even though I read about it in the local guardian very little was done by the candidates and their parties to promote themselves. On top of that only some wards were given a vote????? I have heard more about the USA elections over the last few months than any of the UK local or national elections, over the years. There is more time and effort spent spreading “political gossip” than actual politics. Some of which can be interesting, like who has the highest expenses, which MP’s are having extra marital affairs. How many MP’s employ family members, at the cost of tax payers http://www.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/?p=1203. Is this the best we can do in 2008? Such negative behaviour is not helping politics. Personally I think more should be done by local councils, to make sure people living in the constituency have a say in local matter and not external companies. Especially if a new position is being created people need to know where their funds are going and why. This is imperative especially when vital jobs and services are always being cut. There are so many examples to go through I am sure individuals know of some they can relate with. If you can’t get the guardian or need to look at past issues go to www.localinfo.guardian-series.co.uk. The best source to get info regarding local issues from. The article about the council making £4 million from parking fines, over the last four years is enough to make any local business sick to the stomach. I talk to local businesses when out and about promoting Leyton Life. A lot of them agree the introduction of Parking Vouchers has hit their businesses very hard. People are not willing to pay for a voucher and then pay tax on the goods they purchase. The borough is penalising local businesses and residents by doing this. I failed to meet any shop owner that was consulted regarding the introduction of parking vouchers. Does the council not make enough from business rates? Or is their aim to close small businesses and let bigger companies in so they can charge them more business rates! People agree that time limits for parking are acceptable, parking bays with time limits have been manned for years, without any charge to the users. So why change them to parking voucher schemes? It is un-democratically elected, inconvenient, and not green. People drive around for a space so they don’t have to get a voucher! If a council member is reading this and has an answer feel free to send it on the back of a stamp! I’m sure you can buy one with the £4m the council made. As a local business or resident what do you think? How has it changed your shopping habits? Let me know full details to send your opinions p2. Yasmin Allen

............................................................................................................................................................................................
Don’t settle for less How often do you go into place of business and walk out feeling annoyed, because of the lack of service or in some instances no service. If a shop is not providing a service of a descent standard then I usually go elsewhere. Unless I feel a complaint or sarcastic remark is necessary. The same can be said with financial institutions, there are enough competitors within this field which means as a customer there is no real reason to put up with a poor situation. Unless you are happy to be treated as an insignificant! But the biggest culprits in my experience would be some of the government run places. Places that are funded for the benefit of the community are the breeding ground where staffs that have no desire to do their jobs are employed. Why does this bother me so much because unlike the earlier examples it is not that practical to switch to another company? You are practically stuck with trying to cooperate with people that have no intention of getting a satisfactory result for you. The most common and frustrating problems people I have spoken to face are no telephone call backs, giving the correct information, or even directing you to the correct department or person. In the past I have normally made a few phone calls, but just not bothered to follow up any queries. But over the last few years I have started to be more active when dealing with such places. The most recent complaint regarding a council run publication took about three months to resolve. I started off with one complaint and by the end of it had made two more. The result was a good one as I knew I was within my rights and the staffs were being awkward. I was successful in getting the result I wanted in all three complaints. Even though I had to deal with the council’s complaints procedure twice I did end up coming across a people that were willing to do their jobs, and do it with pride with real consideration for the customer. These are the staffs that answer Waltham Forest Direct calls. They are always willing to assist you, even if they can’t deal with the query themselves they do try to find out to whom you should speak to. Rather than telling you to ring another number, or go on the internet. (Keep up the good work) A certain someone from the Environment Health Dept was very helpful, getting a satisfactory result. Tips when complaining: Note the date time and person you are talking to. A brief outline of what you discussed, when you should have had a response by if not immediately, Email is a piece of cake and a good form of record is kept at no extra cost. Post: I find hard to keep track of as mail gets lost in the system. The message is plain and simple if enough people make complaints regarding such issues then the government run places will have to take action. In my opinion if employees that perform inadequately were held to account more often then they may start to do the jobs they are paid to do. By not complaining you are giving them the green light to sit back and get paid to do very little. Yasmin Allen
..........................................................................................................................................................................................
Thank you Now that I have made my point about complaining, and inadequate services, I would like to take this opportunity to make people more aware of saying Thank You. Two very simple words but used very infrequently. Saying “Thank You” expresses gratitude, and basically can make the people around the counter feel much better. Everybody has their own problems on a daily basis but they try to get on with their routines. So be it when driving, walking, shopping or talking, if someone has done something nice for you then why not say “thank you!” To think that someone is “just doing their job” and this gives you no reason to say thank you, is no justification of not saying the two little words. Complaining is not done as often as it should be but thanking people is even less! Yasmin Allen

Overweight has to go now
When I heard that in Britain the overweight issue with teenagers under the age of 18 years was steadily increasing, I was really surprised, because in Britain we have facilities and programmes that teenagers could follow to become fitter and healthier. What are the reasons why there are overweight teenagers? Maybe it's because they aren't bothered to get up and do exercise or could it be because instead of eating healthy foods like salads, pastas, meat and fruit they choose to take the other option of eating Fast food. Parents:
Some children don't buy their food or cook at home, their parents do, and so shouldn't parents get a wake up call for them to start feeding their children more healthily? Only God knows if some parents can feed themselves healthily, so what chance do their children have?
I am not literally blaming the parents for their children being overweight but there is some fault there. Maybe parents should start by taking their children to the doctors so that the doctor can measure their BMI which is their Body Mass Index. This way the teenagers will get a wake up call and take obesity issues into consideration. Risks and Warnings
Reality check:
I believe that if teenagers know the risks that they are putting their health into maybe they would definitely think twice before eating fast food 24-7. On the other hand there should be more warnings about for example billboards, buses, magazines, newspapers, and on packages of fast food outlets. This issue is becoming a world wide health risk and people are dieting due to this. There has also been a ban on junk food adverts on kids TV because they do not want to influence kids in buying junk food like Crisps, Coca Cola, Burgers and more junk food.
But do the teenagers themselves know about the risks that they are putting themselves through? Well some of them think "ok I'll eat all of this fast food and then tomorrow I'll stop". But it doesn’t work like that. Fast food is addictive; once you eat it you can not stop.

Interview:
I spoke to two teenagers. The first one of these is an overweight teenager; I'll be speaking to her about how she feels, if she's aware of the diseases and more. The other teenager is a former overweight and I'll be getting information on what did she do to lose the weight and how she feels now. The reason I am doing this is because I want other teenagers to be aware of these issues and that they can change.
This is an interview with an overweight teenager who can't look at herself at all and isn't confident.
Do you know of the diseases being overweight causes?
Yes I do my doctor has told and warned me about the diseases. I know that I have a greater risk of getting a heart attack and more diseases.
Has anyone given you support?
Yes they have especially my family and friends.
Has anyone tried to help you in anyway so you become healthier?
My mum has. She's been out running with me for 30 minutes and I am beginning to eat healthier foods like salads and drinking water.
How do you feel knowing that if you don't change and lose weight you may have a grater risk of heart attacks and catching diseases?
Knowing that I could get an illness and maybe die, it scares me and I can't stand it.
What do you honestly think about your self? E.g. appearance, weight etc
I honestly can't look at myself and I'm defiantly not happy with myself.
What other people think about you appearance those it effect you in anyway?
It didn't bother me at first but now it's beginning to effect me inside, when they look at me and laugh.
Would you get help and try to get healthier and fitter?
Yes definitely I will, I want to change.
This interview is by a 16 year old female who has managed to overcome this issue and now looks great.
"I'm 18years old now and approximately a year ago I use to weigh about 70 – 75kg approximately a size 14 – 16. I was not really happy with myself I didn't feel confident going out and seeing girls my age who were skinny. I started to get jealous, So I took drastic measures by starving myself for about 1 week, I lost about 2 – 4kg after I started being sick and vomiting, and I couldn't and the smell of food. So one day I decided that I had to change if I didn't want to get really ill and thought that there must have been a much better and healthier way to lose weight. On my free time I went running for about 30 minutes and lost about 300 calories each time I ran, after my cousin joined the gym, she asked if I wanted to sign up so I did. A year has gone past and I have lost 2stones I'm a size 12 now and weigh 55kg. I am really much happier and fitter. Back then I was not confident but now everything has changed from my confidence to my appearance. It was hard to start off with but now the end result is great, it takes time and you need to have the mentality to lose weight".

Peers, Sort your House out!

One elected house is enough having two would be suicidal to the whole system.

What is the fascination of changing the way in which the House of Lords is run. I think allowing the changes will contribute to more inconsistencies and corruption within the judiciary system. So what if the Peers are not completely with it and not elected at least they have the distance to make certain decisions. But over the last few years I have noticed that ordinary people's opinions are not taken into account when it really matters. -Going to war regardless of the opposition shown. (not to mention doing this under false pretences)

-Restrictions placed on people wanting to protest for a legitimate cause. We are entitled to legitimate protest.

The thing to remember and consider is people are extremely fickle. You only have to follow a reality show to acknowledge this. One minute you could be a winner and the next the biggest looser ever.

If only the real political game had the same rules I am sure the number of people voting would increse. This would be an excellent way of getting politicians to fulfill their manifesto!

The House of Lords does not have the powers they use to have. Their role has been downgraded in recent years. The most they can do is delay certain legislation and mainly give opinions of how a certain Bill should be applied.

Still want the current system to change?
Have your say on our messageboard

Cash for Honours? - no scandal here...

So far no successful case of prosecution has come
to light regarding the sale of membership (cash for honours) in the House of Lords. (This doesn't mean innocence) All this indicates is what most people know that "independent inquiries" aren't as independent as they claim to be.

Setting double standards is not an option in a democratic society.What are they really hiding?

Personally it is giving these people the green light to take more advantage of their 'so called expenses' and funny handshake stuff Have your say on our messageboard

Is this democracy or an illusion?

We are suppose to be living in a democratic society,where all citizens are to be treated equally. This is to be regardless of gender,colour, religion or age (except where legal age required)

Why MP's can be shielded from the Freedom of Information Act considering they are there to serve the people, and funded by the public.

Important financial details can be kept away from the public. Is this really fair should their financial situation be kept private? Most importantly why do they feel the need for this? Especially when governmental institutions go to great lengths in investigating peoples household incomes etc. Have your say on our messageboard

And now a word from the hood'...
Propane Jane ..."Why don't the police and social services just leave me alone. My family comes first - end of. My son has always had a temper. Everyone on the block knows he tends to fly off the handle at the least provocation. We only recently found out he has been diagnosed with ADHD

Big Willie adds... My girlfriend has just had another baby and I can only get part-time work helping my mates in the market. The other day I had to raid some pampers from a local superstore cos the baby can't wear anything else. What's a responsible dad to do?

Jus-Stoned argues..."I can understand some people have to do what they can to maintain their crack habit."

Nifty Shifter gripes about the lack of job opportunities....Have you seen the type of jobs out there and the pay per hour is ridiculous. I think working for £5 an hour is a mug's game."

Sky Jack is annoyed... "I don't understand some people. They're just jealous. If someone offered you a flat-screen TV at a knock down price - no questions asked, wouldn't you take it?

Goggles complains... "The TV licence people keep hassling us even though we only watch Sky and DVDs."

Rollin' Moanin intones.."I wouldn't have to sell stolen goods if I could get my music career back."

Cool
'Cool' - an attitude fostered by rebels and underdogs, such as slaves, prisoners and political dissents, for whom open rebellion invited punishment, so it hid its defiance behind a wall of ironic detachment, a shield against racial oppression or political persecution and source of constant cultural innovation,

Wack
Wack is just bad taste, bad attitude, a bad occurence, unforeseen misery something that is tragic

Rosalind Elsie Franklin (1920-1958) was a British chemist and crystallographer who is best known for her role in the discovery of the structure of DNA. It was her x-ray diffraction photos of DNA and her analysis of that data--provided to Francis Crick and James Watson without her knowledge--that gave them clues crucial to building their correct theoretical model of the molecule in 1953.

James Watson has opined
on the unhireability of the obese; on the desirability of genetically
engineering both
food crops and prettier women;
on aborting fetuses
if they test positive
for a "gay gene"; on
the allegedly low sex drive of Caucasians.
This week, he's declared
that people of African descent
are less intelligent than those of other races,
citing as proof African politics
and "people who have
to deal with black employees."
