What difference will that make if he's miles ahead in the polls?Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ here -
And so the status quo remains.Originally posted by Cyberman View PostHe may not look bothered at the moment but he will be very soon, because he is going to lose just as many votes as New Lie.
Low turnouts make it look as though people are apathetic with regards to politics these days but the truth is the average voter feels completely impotent when faced with the current 'choice'.
I don’t think I can be bothered any more, I give up on the British political system.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Any expenses claimed for a garden are number one priority for repayment IMO. I will be emailing Cameron regarding Alan Duncan. I will not be voting until these expenses are repaid and I suggest everybody else does the same !!


There was a brilliant Alan Duncan 'before and after' video on Have I Got News For You on Friday.
For those that missed it or want to see it again go here and skip to about 09:13

No No No - Cybertory's point is that we expect the Tories to be lying and sleazy so it's fine when they do it; whereas New Labour said they would clean up politics and so when they turn out to be just another gang of sleazy gits, it's worse.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostI thought Tory MPs don't lie
It's a bit like when Jaqui Smith said we shouldn't expect to be able to walk the streets late at night.Last edited by Peoplesoft bloke; 18 May 2009, 19:17.Comment
