I hate the term “Key worker” it suggests my contribution is less than adequate. Key worker is a labour term used to disguise a policy of social exclusion, an unnecessary evil they created whilst Mr Brown sat back and presided over 350% house price inflation. Lancashire County Council has been using taxpayers’ money to hand out gifts of £28,000 for “key workers” to buy housing. Their definition of key worker is “Public Sector Employee” and this was a … wait for it “A Demonstration Project” it was an exercise in looking after ones one Labour!

Yes, I’m with raincoaster. Just because they all know where you live, Bozza, there is no need to reciprocate.
At least no-one has had the poor taste to mention Letsby Avenue.

Anybody got some context? Is he saying that great teeming masses of uniformed police are squatting in lavish subsidized housing while the sons and daughters of MPs are thrust out into the street with not so much as a consulting salary to keep them warm? Or is he asking why four out of five bobbies live under a bridge and burn Amnesty International reports to keep from freezing to death?
