Still. It’s the thought that counts.
Piss Poor Policies Dave C is allegedly being accused of cat knapping. A London man claims Dave has "taken" his aunt's cat and has launched a Facebook campaign to get him back.
Larry the cat made headlines around the world when he was adopted as Number 10, Downing Street's new rat catcher.
But Tim Sutcliffe says 'Larry' is really 'Jo', a stray taken in by his Auntie Margaret who was left devastated when he ran away last October.
Mr Sutcliffe has started a Facebook page to campaign for the cat's safe return to his aunt, who lives in Bermondsey, London, reports the Daily Mail.
He believes the cat ended up at Battersea Cats Home after running away, before it was re-homed to Downing Street.
"As she didn't technically own Jo, Battersea were well within their rights to take him, but she is really upset that he's been taken away from her and she wants him back," he said.
Do the decent thing PPP Dave; get your hands off the Lady’s Pussy.
PPP Dave C seems to be doing a spiffing job with the youth of our green and sprouting spring land.
Twenty nine local authorities in Great Britain have more than one in five children living in severe poverty, a report published by Save the Children has found.
Conducted by the New Policy Institute the research reveals that 1.6m children across the UK live in severe poverty.
Manchester (the best place to live in Blighty) and Tower Hamlets (not the best place to live in Blighty) were reported to have the highest proportion with more than a quarter (27 per cent) of children living in the poorest households.
Save the Children is now calling on government to remove the barriers to employment faced by low income parents including low wages and childcare costs and improve the financial support provided to families in need.
Dave is helping- by cutting benefits, social services, jobs and all hope.

A New York man whose wallet disappeared from his jacket pocket has gotten it back - 40 years later.
Rudolph Resta was working for The New York Times as an art director in 1970 when he left his jacket in a closet at the old Times building in Manhattan just off Times Square. When he went to fetch the jacket, the wallet was gone.
Fast-forward to last fall, when a security guard checking a gap by an unused window came across the wallet - apparently stashed there by a thief who'd pulled out the cash.
Resta was tracked down through pieces of ID linked to the Times.
Resta is now in his 70s. He's enjoying the memories the wallet contained - photos of his sons as children, his glamorous wife and his late father.
That’s the problem when you get old and a bit saggy, things disappear into cracks.
A Chinese pensioner has invented an electric unicycle which he says can travel 40 miles on a single charge.
Retired factory worker Li Yunian, 66, of Taiyuan, northern China's Shanxi Province, took two months to design his powered unicycle which he calls 'Cool Friend'.
It has one major wheel and three smaller wheels which act as stabilisers and help control direction.
Li, who worked with a welder friend, said: "It is mainly made out of old bikes. It cost me less than £100 in total - including the three batteries!"
He has won a patent for the invention, which can travel at speeds of up to 12mph, and hopes to eventually go into partnership with a manufacturer to produce it commercially.
In the meantime, Li is giving local people the chance to try out his Cool Friend, so they can help with suggestions to perfect the design.
Very nice, slight snag-old people and unicycles are not the best combination, and it isn’t really a unicycle-“It has one major wheel and three smaller wheels” is it?
As is:
A Michigan woman says the energy bracelets a Boca Raton-based company sells on late-night TV infomercials don't do a bit of good, and she's looking for a big payday.
Arjana Xexo has filed a lawsuit after she paid $19.90 plus $15.90 for shipping and handling for two iRenew bracelets that she was shocked to discover didn't improve her health, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Xexo has filed a lawsuit, and her lawyer estimates damages at $5 million.
The infomercials for the rubber bracelets with a metal insert say it helps with overall health and helps rebalance one's "Biofield."
John Merritt, president of Boca-based iRenew Bio Energy Solutions LLC, wasn't available for comment.
Late last year, Harvest Trading Group, the company that markets the bracelets, received an F rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Xexo's attorney is asking to be allowed to sue on behalf of hundreds of others who bought the bracelets and were dissatisfied.
Oh dear.
The Olympic flame that will travel the world before reaching the Russian resort town of Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics may also a pay a brief visit to space, according to a top official.
An Olympic visit to the International Space Station is an "interesting" idea that requires further study, according to Vitaly Davydov, deputy head of Russia’s Federal Space Agency.
"It is not a bad idea," Mr Davydov said. "It is theoretically possible."
Yeah right, open flame in a confined space miles above the Earth, still when the space station explodes the vacuum will put the conflagration out.
And finally:
Ladies sauntering 4.
That’s it: I’m orf to “Bore” in Newcastle.
And today’s thought: Don't go to bed angry . . . stay up and plot your revenge.
