It's a good job they're not running the country.Originally posted by Diver View PostYou just have to ask yourself
1. would I buy a car from any of them
2. would I sign anything they handed me, without first reading it
3. would I trust them with my card pin number
4. would I trust them to look after my children
6. would I trust them to act honestly in claiming their expences
7. could I expect them to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth
