They are our kids who can't get jobs, can't find a home, who are literally living on the street because this b...y government won't help them by stopping immigration for example. However, King Richard III was the last King to die in Battle 527 years ago! Brilliant that they can do this sort of retrospective work isn't it?

Unfortunately the Abbey was more-or-less destroyed following the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, so there seems little chance now of finding the remains. |

As a child I asked my parents if I could play with grandad, "no you cannot, you have dug him up three times already"
Here in Britain, aka The Streets Of A Thousand Potholes, we are told there is no money for the sick and disabled. We can find money for this pointless project of digging up a geezer who snuffed it ages ago, about as much use as Cameron's new railway. |
