At least the Schmargus is consistent.

Consistently bad that is.

I wonder if Mr Catt would like to explain how he lives in a £500k+ house but still manages to claim tax payers money to fund his pathetic campaigns by the way of legal aid ?

It's a shame that the shy and retiring John Catt, who clearly hates being the centre of attention, is being dragged much against his will no doubt, into the headlines. Shame on you Argus can you not leave him alone, I'm sure he hates the publicity and don't you dare mention the free taxi rides home he gets arranged by the police after he has been arrested at demos. All he has done is turn up religiously for every Smashedo demo no matter how violent that has turned out to be, it's not as if his daughter acts as a spokesperson for Smashedo or anything.

If he is not still withering on about the Iraq war , he is blubbering on about EDO. The guy IS a fanatic and deserves to be under surveillance
