Re: June 8th poll

Ah! - The Murdoch press. The most amazing thing I have seen in this fiasco is that George Osbourne, that scion of the Tory right, who now edits the (London) Evening Standard has used his influence...

Re: June 8th poll

Good God! Politicians treating the populace as thinking individuals? That is revolution in the making.

Re: immigration lawyers/advisers

Re: June 8th poll

This is how political parties with large funds spend them in the 21st Century. 'Targetted Advertising'. There is actually legislation which was supposed to stop the use of 'data analytics' being used...

Re: Anyone heard about the parent sponsor selection yet?

Without the hope of optimism there is only the depression of pessimism. If you always look for a silver lining it's surprising how often there is at least a glimmer.

Re: Police Report for PR

Hi, Anyone know how long/difficult it is to get a police report from Australia? My partner lived there back in the 60's for a few years and it would be nice to get the info.
