And they aren't even members of the HofP, so WTF has it to do with the way the country is (not) being run.

So where did you hear that ?
Wouldn't have been in your local boozer by any chance ?
I would be really impressed to see concrete evidence,........wouldn't want to consider you as just another DailyWailer, eh.? ;)

That would never do at all now would it ?

To take this a step further, how can a coalition government choose a new PM? Would Clegg just be promoted?

And the country itself would suffer from an election at this stage.

And Ed Balls is not on the side of expats, he wants us to freeze in the winter.

It's a sorry mess all right.

But only if you are a UK higher rate tax payer..

As I sit here in my Fat Face boxer shorts on my lovely sofa I can, off the top of my head name three Journo's who are close family friends... I have on numerous occasions mentioned that I know people who work in the corridors of power.... Yeah, one may well be a long established tour guide and our mutual interest may well be Pugin but I bet any one of them know more about what goes on than any of us on this forum, however the evidence by certain posters says different.... Oh and as i have said time and time and time and time again.... I rarely read a paper, in fact I don't think I have purchased a single paper in at least the last 12 months.... Don't you think it's odd that the BBC, with all it's left leaning accusers, haven't reported about this?

So where do you get your info from?

Same as most of the rest of us (who also don't purchase papers) maybe?

In all honesty, I read the Huff Post quite a bit, its pretty well put together and can be a bit refreshing, I read the Beeb website and a couple of others, watch Al Jazeera sometimes and follow a few well chosen people on Twitter.

Because I have a complex political outlook I tend not to rely on just one source as few if any can claim to be impartial, if I take an interest in an article I tend to look at several varied sources before I make an opinion. What I never do is listen to any of the nutjobs on Twatter or Facebook!

Nobody, not even Cameron, not even Royalty dare mention those names. Apart from being committed to prison for contempt, they will have interfered with the most important trial this country has ever known regarding our personal freedom.

In the past we had the Tower of London to deal with the laws on contempt of court, a Royal court in those days, we only have our normal prisons now and don't hang people any more, but there are no release dates even now if you are not judged to have purged your contempt.

aren't you taking your puffed up importance a little bit far - why would the BBC report about your not buying a paper ??
