They'll be comparing how many seats we have next!
 
Have they not slagged us off re number of Hospitals they could build and nurses, schools and teachers the list is endless.
 
Bit of a random one but football transfers are beyond the comprehension of the ordinary person. Would it be unreasonable to put a football tax in place where by everyone earning over 100k a week paid 80 percent tax and all transfers were subject to 50 percent tax. Bit wrong that these agents are making so so much each summer.
