David Cameron is reported as going to make an announcement this week that benefits including Housing Benefit for under 25's to be either scrapped or reduced considerably. I concerned that reducing benefits will make more people vulnerable to committing crime to fill the gap by offences such as theft, drive off's and kindred offences.

How many times have you dealt with someone, after pulling them for a traffic offence... and they always blab on about it not being serious?

Ok. I'm currently toying with the idea of a new car... The options are: VW Golf (1.6 diesel) Skoda Octavia (1.6 d) Ford Focus (1.2 ltr) I currently drive an average of 60 miles per day, more if I'm seeing the other half. I currently have a 58 plate Yaris, which is good for short journeys, when driving the amount of miles I do I need something a bit more economical (oh and comfortable!)
