Can I put "Elitist Twat™" on my CV, please? I'd be quite pleased with that.

My best qualifications to date are my grade A O levels in English, Maths and Physics.

Bit strong ...sorry.

I posted under the influence of 6x Old speckled hen, usual polite demure resumed.

Dawn's Angry

This article confirms everything we knew about her:


'Some forms include mistakes where Ms Primarolo has entered one of her claims in the wrong column '- 'the MP had added up the claim incorrectly.'

"I don't want people to think that I have done something that is dishonest, because I haven't. I just didn't have any idea all this was going on."

Why be such an elitist tw@t? Bristol has a well regarded university FFS.

That sort of comment sums up everything that is wrong with the attitude that hamstrings this now pathetic country.

Oh dear. I can just see this degenerating into an argument about the value of Media Studies Foundation Degrees versus MacDiplomas.

I was listening to two girls getting coached in how to apply themselves yesterday...for their NVQ in Cleaning

It is known as UWE. University of the West of England.

No doubt such an illustrious fellow as your good self attended colleges in both Oxford and Cambridge, and had to commute between those esteemed seats of learning on a daily basis, in your Lamborghini.

Actually, I bought a house by the river and used to walk or cycle to lectures.

No it isn't.

We have two don’t you know, one is a glorified tech but the other is in the UK top ten and has more applications per place than any other uni in the country.

Sheet, I knew Bristol had a technical college, but when did that become a university?

Dawn Primarolo - 2007/2008 expenses

When Dawn (IR35) Primarolo was Paymaster General she said allowing grubby little tax cheat IT contractors 10% of gross income as a tax free expense was, and I quote "more than generous"

I wonder what phrase she should use to describe a whopping 251% ?

I thought that it was 5% for IR35-affected businesses ?

[sasguru]

Does anyone have any contacts in the local or national press and can point them in the direction of an "expenses" story about her?
The hypocrisy of limiting self-employed contractors to £10K while keeping her own expenses at 10 times as much should be quite a good angle.

Red Dawn is the labour politico I would like to see destroyed the most.

[bogeyman]

That's true. She went to Bristol University.

As did I. Oh the burning shame.
