Uxbridge and South Ruislip - not a bad little area for any MP to represent unless, of course, things are gone awry since I used to live there in my much younger days. |

When I look at what Boris Johnson is doing in many areas of London - I am reminded of The Highland Clearances ;-) |

Most grown up people can see right through Boris who is a clever opportunist playing populist politics. |

The Prime Minister and current members of the Cabinet, including Theresa May may need to be on their guard from now on as the Mayor of London's spokesman has just confirmed that Boris Johnson has submitted his application to stand as the Tory candidate for Uxbridge and South Ruislip at 2015 General Election :-D |

It has been reported wildly, that the guardian of our border controls, immigration controls, and policing, has ambitions to follow in the footsteps of a previous "female" leader of the Conservative Party - with the rumours that Boris may enter the arena the lady's ambitions have been dented, so to deal with that dent I have no doubt that we will read many more utterance (spin) from on high by TM in the coming months. |

I doubt that they can Ann, as many/most have British Citizenship by Birthright :-0 |

England never had clans and tribes not even during its early days in the C5. Hankering after a past that never existed is very much a Celtic trait. Faux nostalgie is the basis of the Scottish referendum and quite devoid of logic. |

Some historians have a hankering for the clan & tribe set-up of the ancient days. |

Personally I think politicians are very keen to do the talking but are very reluctant to do any walking :-| |

The tricky thing for ministers is that once you have a law it may be tested in the courts. The present coalition has already come a cropper in the courts more than once. |

I'd prefer to hear from any Minister of what he/she had done. |

Current laws are sometimes misunderstood & therefore misapplied. |

DazedConfused - that was my thoughts, many Acts of Parliament allow for them to be amended by the use of Statutory Instruments, this means that usually there is no requirement for Parliament to pass a new Act - so why are new laws needed, can current laws not be amended, or were they not thought through correctly in the first place :-S |

If the law was adhered to and enforced by the Police etc., there would be no need for any new laws or enforcements. |
