    Proud to work at HMRC

    Some of his supporters don’t even listen to a word he says just believe it verbatim. I don’t know if you heard his speech earlier in the year on renewable energy/windmills (Michael Spicer does a very amusing voiceover to it) but people were cheering to agree with the utter nonsense he was...

    New Labour Leader

    He did fine I think. I am a little uncomfortable with the fawning over him by Tories in the media (their definition of a ‘proper’ opposition sounds more like ‘compliant’ to me) but I’m going to put that down to them more interested in petty Corbyn point scoring rather than anything untoward...

    Let’s say you’re right - and you took this course of action - you’d be sending half of Whitehall to prison, as well as the PR departments for every political party. The day a Government gets brave is the day it starts to tell the truth.... and we all know how unlikely that is.

    Why do you always have to pick for the sake of picking? It’s going TO the NHS... which in itself is THE most iconic example of socialism in the country. The point stands.
