    Absolutely but they have the common sense to make comments relating to the UK or at least qualify their comment is related to their country like NAT does. To just throw a dumb, badly worded comment that later on transpires is only relevant to the EU is just an utter waste of everyone's time.

              Luckily no upstanding member of CUK would dare get involved with this horrible lot!

                  In the UK you are only allowed to do it if you are selling weapons to Saudi as the SFO will get told to drop the case. linky

                    If Dodgy's only getting 20pc, he's had to recruit British contractors.

                      I got stung with the fake role/CV harvest from Hydrogen Group last month, then I spotted one a few days later that I thought 'That rate is far too good to be real', so ignored it. Then pimp from that very advert rings me up, says are you interested, so I send CV, do interview following week, get accepted, just going through on-boarding, looking to start next week.

                      Contracting eh?

                      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
