Hit and run Harman

[d000hg]

I don't see why she shouldn't have a chauffeur-driven car, but get a decent car in that case!

Why should she? And even if she does then she should be paying Benefit in Kind tax on these services.

For the same reason a contractor travelling every weekend might expect business-class flights and decent hotels...

The issue is not a company car (she should be paying BIK on this), but chauffeur.

She does a LOT of travelling. And why shouldn't she have a chauffeur anyway? What are your suggestions for the rights to such luxury?

B1tch.

I saw a car the other day with that number plate: B1TCH

It wasn't Harman, but the woman driver certainly did look the part (haughty-looking middle-aged blonde woman in big Mercedes).

She should use public transport more - after all it was her Govt that screwed over motorists to pay for public transport, why is she driving in the first place?

Chauffeur is expensive (will cost more per annum than her car), and is completely unnecessary - she is not PM.

This happened 3 months ago. The daily mail picks it up the day before the tory conference, hmm ...

Shoddy journalism anyone? I can't stand Harman, she's beyond inept, but I bet this story fizzles out once recollections over the actual facts of the case emerge

She may be a stupid cow but she is (in theory) the 2nd most senior politician in the country at the moment. You just want her to head down the high street and flag the bus?

Do you just come on here to prove you are thick? Is it a bet or something?

She is certainly not 2nd.

I am talking about chauffeur here specifically. Why would she need one? She is not the Queen or the PM or anyone who'd need to be driven on official occasions. Though on the other hand given how badly she drives maybe she should have one - it would make roads safer.

Being Deputy Leader of the Labour Party if someone decided to shot Gordon she would get the job of running the country. With that I can say she is the 2nd most senior politician in the country.

I mean FFS, do they not give you lot some kind of citizenship exams? Can we not add numeracy exams to that as well? Jesus wept.

Again, are you on here as a wind up?

She certainly won't get that job for more than short period of time during which the real challenger will come out to get it.

With that I can say she is the 2nd most senior politician in the country.

2nd politician is debateable but I'd say the Leader of the Opposition qualifies. Deputy Leader of the Labour party won't be in Top 5, specificaly Harman isn't in top 20 though I am sure she likes to think that she is.

Thankfully it was not required to kiss Labour's arse in order to become a British citizen
