Gawd, is that ludicroys Big Society thing still going? I remember CMD's speech at the launch of the Tory election manifesto back in 2010 where he outlined his grand vision for a big society where everyone would want to get involved and there would be a huge role for the voluntary sector.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostGetting paid more money than being an MP and getting more firms lobbying you so you can get a nicer job when you get booted out by the electorate........

Most in the UK want to be part of a common market - not the EU.
And these days our partners out East are far more important that Europe for trading. We need to tap growth markets while there is some respect for UK. India et all.Comment
