Ed's snub to self employed

[mudskipper]

Perhaps Ed was just avoiding the trap of looking as though he supports the ployof forcing unemployed people with no real skills into totally false self employment, living off tax credits to avoid the now punishing signing on regime, unaware of the consequences until the self assessment demand comes through the letter box.

I think this is a real problem. But it shouldn't be an excuse not to encourage those who do want to work for themselves. It is possible to crack down on this and promote working for yourself as a positive thing.

BBC News 24 showing much respect to John Major today. Strange. Not their M.O. at all. It even stopped them talking about the NHS for a bit. Somebody has a friend somewhere.

They wheeled him out for the Scottish referendum. I don't think him pointing and screeching at the SNP is going to work twice.

At least it's better than wheeling out Tony Blair. *cringe*

The Beeb made a big deal of the fact that his background was unlike the present PM and unlike the present PM he managed to get a majority.
