Presumably that would be part of:

Lurch with his finger on the pulse once more...


The Right Honourable Stephen Timms is the UK's "Minister for Digital Britain." He's the guy behind the Digital Economy Bill, which makes the US DMCA look good by comparison. Seriously, this is some terrible, terrible lawmaking.

The official Labour response to this was to state that Timms is an expert in this field and wrote a book on broadband 25 years ago. Err, 15 years before it came into existence and whilst it was only geeks playing around with dial-up. Muppet!

If only...

I read this from a blogger about Michael Caine appearing with Cameron last week.

"If only Micheal had stood on the podium and said - 'Gordon, you were only supposed to blow the bloody banks up!'"

That's worth a 5% lead on its own.

No point putting forward an obscure question about retrospective taxation, so I thought I would submit something a bit more populist. Bet it doesnt make it through the Brown Broadcasting Corporation difficult question filter.

"After 13 years in power, why are Labour making promises now?

Everything that is wrong with this country is yours and Tony Blair's making."

Labour's pathetic struggle to win another term reminds me of a guilty partner on their last warning making pleas and platitudes for 'just one more chance'.

Time for the pathetic idiots to shuffle off and give us some freedom.

always amazes me how the threat of losing power makes them all of a sudden come up with all these ideas to make our lives better. Its just insulting our intelligence, they couldnt be bothered to put these things in place over the last 13 years, maybe thats cos they dont work

Good spot! I have submitted the following question:

"Since 2001 the average family's Income Tax bill has gone up by £47, but its National Insurance bill has gone up by more than ten times that amount to £514. Do you accept that National Insurance is now just a stealth tax on earnings from employment, and what assurances can you give the public concerning future possible increases?"

newbie on the block...

My first post - any advice greatly appreciated. Apologies if this question is on the wrong thread.
I received a cn for 2007 about 3 weeks ago - mp sent appeal in and now I've received a threat of the debt being passed to the collectors if I dont pay in full immediately. Is this whats happening to all on here?
