    I think we might need the minister for the environment to take a look at them there figures we might be noticing a new phenomenon where the tide goes out and keeps going out .Strange that, no matter how many bad decisions they make the ship continues to sink , funny you would think one bad decision might have a reverse effect and fix everything or is that just fairy tales fecken hell think someone should tell them hell no they wouldn’t listen anyway.
