		<description><![CDATA[£130 Million wasted in yet another “quick fix” Labour initiative! Three years ago the Labour government announced that the UK Passport &#38; Identity Service (part of the Home Office) had estimated that 10,000 false passports were issued every year. This was, they said, unacceptable and a new procedure which would see all new applicants face an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) next year Britain will have the biggest debt of any major economy. So much for prudent Gordon Brown. According to the IMF Britain’s budget deficit will be a horrendous £191 billion. This equates to £7,600 for every family in the UK. Not only is this much higher than [...]]]></description>

Hmmm. I’d have thought that the vast majority of 5-year olds would never have come across or thought [...]]]></description>
