IDLE hands do the devil’s work: petrol station drive-offs; stealing any metal greater than a beer can; a massive increase in cannabis farms; people being mugged at the bus stop/walking their dog.

What else can be expected at the bottom of David Cameron’s deep-dip recession, riddled with unemployment, resulting in people having too much spare time and too little money?

But the problem is that he might read about such things in the newspaper or see them on the news but he is too busy being the megalomaniac to care.
