SO David Cameron’s latest trick is akin to sending coals to Newcastle, selling sand to the Arabs or snow to the Eskimos.

He wants ‘small’ investors to purchase Lloyds Bank shares at a discount.

These investors (taxpayers)already own Lloyds Bank due to the bailout, so he is asking them to pay for it twice.

Pull the other one, Mr. Cameron, you must think we came up the river on a bike.

On a lighter note, congratulations are due to Tony Kelly for his excellent article refuting the “de” in the Yorkshire cycle tour, and confirming, as many think, that it is the Tour of Yorkshire, or even the Yorkshire Tour.
