If everyone took the responsiblility of looking after themselves rather than relying on others to do so for them, then we'd have more than enough money to run the libraries and all the other services that benefit everyone in the community rather than spending a fortune just to maintain the idle and feckless among us.

And the older I get the less answers I have. Never mind, eh!

I am reluctant to agree to paying for borrowing books at all - I fear there will be a backlash before there is an uptake - but at least your scheme allows children's books to remain free. That, I think, is most important of all.Catharine Withenayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936767499911371984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-43321664007737589422011-02-15T10:37:31.608+00:002011-02-15T10:37:31.608+00:00CJ - thanks for commenting.

Only European judges and a handful of left-wing MPs think that murderers and rapists should have the vote.<br /><br />LWM - I quite agree.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279890687481412751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-8456369776348580432011-02-14T19:37:28.173+00:002011-02-14T19:37:28.173+00:00Brilliant. 25p is nothing, and those type of peop...Brilliant. 25p is nothing, and those type of people that would complain wouldn't be in libraries anyway... xLadybird World Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410236464722005178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-29778573555839859922011-02-11T18:51:29.401+00:002011-02-11T18:51:29.401+00:00I have to say I think this is a good idea.

You're right, too many whinge bags sponging off the state about the disgusting cuts blah blah, and yet you always see them buying cigarettes, standing at a bar, buying lottery tickets. It's people like these that the government need to cut!<br /><br />I am not a fan of Cameron at all; I am really against a lot of his proposals and ideas, but this week I did actually agree with something he said, about the prisons and prisoners not having a right to vote. I don't think they should. They gave up their rights when they committed a crime in my opinion.<br /><br />Have a good weekend, CJ xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
