p.s. Sorry for being so unpatriotic, but I'm off to see my best friend Goofy next week and Mr Cook can lump it !!

Superb - They'll probably introduce a law on it soon!

I also loved this comment on the same page :

I can think of no better reason to avoid Britain at Christmas than the thought that Robin Cook might approach me if I was there.

Hmmmm, politicians lecturing people on where to spend their holidays? Wonder how many people booked trips to Florida just to spite him.

I guess my family in unpatriotic then. My SIL flies to Australia next week for Christmas and next year DH and I will be spending Christmas and New Year at WDW.

OMG this man knows nothing.

Paul and I were out shopping on Saturday at our local shops and I noticed all the pretty lights and I was oohing and aahing over them and Paul was like "well they're the same as last year............ oh that's right you never saw them did you because you weren't here for DECEMBER last year"

But I sure am here this year and more's the pity

I would like to shove Robin Cooks words where the fairy wears the Christmas tree after one family have lost so much on what was meant to be a Christmas Holiday of a Lifetime.

Politicians should not get involved where personal choices are made, they are not very good at it...Stick to corruption and taxing people to the extremes--It is what we expect.
