Yep this time its a double whammy- the boy wonder (?.. dangerous, aggressive, likely to get sent off) Wayne Rooney, carried off yesterday, and the "not 100% happy" Michael Owen.

I;m sure some theological debate can follow about whether we want his foot to heal but lets leave that for another day!

Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
