Charter'll wait till lunacy subsides RT @Truth242 The PM's 'hologram' remark has seemed to have eclipsed the #PLPCharter #
Lunacy. RT @Truth242 Possibly... RT @DeaDiaDiya: @Truth242 on ZNS camera? and JCN camera? #

OK, here's what I hate about election season. All of a sudden everybody's an expert - but they're drawing their 'facts' from biased sources #
Thing I like about writing things down: that way people could see when you break your promises. Comparing Manifesto & Plans 2007 with 2012. #
