I thank my lucky stars that it is a mutually-disrespectful relationship. I'd really be miffed if it was one-sided.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code). -

Well deserved!! One of the better Torres IMO.
Are there any ferry contracts waiting to be awarded?Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

It sounds like quite an important job. The sort of job for which you would normally expect to have a series of interviews, with a panel interview at the end, probably have to do a powerpoint presentation, that sort of thing.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostWhat interview?
I once had to do two interviews for a poxy 3 month contract* so I'd expect "UK Intelligence Committee Chair" to involve the sort of recruitment process where you are grilled to within an inch of your life, and then someone else walks in at the end wearing a very large pair of rubber gloves, and says "One last thing before you go, Mr Grayling...".
Something like that, anyway...

People like Grayling and Francois are literally used as pawns in the media landscape, someone is pushed up the board once a day with some deliberately outrageous comment or action. Then it's like 2 days of "OMG, did u see what Francois fuggin said?"
Then every so often people wonder why nobody has seen Boris in ages.Comment
