Disturbing how he has the balls to say that though... and how he totally gets away with it. I can so imagine everybody at the press conference raising their eyebrows and saying "Ah yes well he's got a point there."

What kind of country is this where come hell or high water, the power of the landlords remains totally unbridled?

2. I have been spending way too much time on this blog.
