It was of a woman in a headscarf roasting a swan. Based on a combination of stories. One where a Romanian family had tried to squat in a house that actually still had someone living there (of course no white Briton has ever squatted anywhere!) and a particular town where the remains of swans and carp had been found. This town had a high proportion of Eastern European farm workers and it was suspected that they eaten them. (Almost every sizeable lake I have ever visted had a group of British lads fishing next to 'No Fishing' signs. It's not exclusively a thing that naughty Polish people do.) At least they had the grace to admit that these workers were poorly paid and probably did it because they were hungry but still....

I hate the Guardian for the same reason I hate the Mail, because it is biased and everything it prints is to fulfil an agenda. Which is a shame because the Life and Style section in the Guardian is pretty good.

Well you know me, I have been Miss Private Sector since the age of 16. It would be nice to have the job security and the pension that comes with (some, not all) public sector jobs. However, without the public sector the private sector would not be able to work. People complain about admin workers and managers in the NHS for example but they are there to keep it functioning.

Besides..we didn't have an economic meltdown because of too many public sector workers. It was the privately owned banks which cocked things up!
