    Oh yeah. Forgot about 'Sunny Jim'.

    Saw him on a train once when I was a lad - sitting there surrounded by groveling apparatchiks, sipping on a whisky and soda. Looking for all the world like some grafty old trade union leader with power and avarice beyond his wildest dreams.

    Crisis? What crisis?

    Still, at least he used the train. Imagine Blair or Brown doing that.

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

      If he abolishes IR35, reduces small biz corp tax to 10% and makes it a strict policy to only use contractors for government and public sector IT related work then I would vote for him!

        John Major was lucky to be up against a ginger welshie - either attribute made Kinnock unelectable.

        Of course - Jim C deffo lost the 1979 election to Maggie - he took over from Harold Wilson?

          Blair took the jubilee line to the dome - took journalists. Said hello to some woman who totally blanked him - claimed she did not know who he was but I have my doubts...

            I would vote for anyone who said they would implement the 1989/1996 Children Act.

                    Never underestimate the sheer stupidity of the British electorate
                    Considering a sizeable proportion of the UK electorate are living on the proceeds of the Welfare State, or working for the public sector, I think we have a clear situation where to vote against your free handouts or direct employer is financial suicide.
                    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
