If these are the people who did very little about the procurement and supply scandals when they had the chance (and not just scapegoats - let's not forget the government-types), I'll certainly be glad to see them go :twisted:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

So, this new clean and shiny government, which campaigned on a slogan of new politics, uses the same shabby old politics.

Plus ça change.

This information should have been shared with the House of Commons before it was splashed all over the Sunday rags. That's what Clageron and Co said they'd be doing, unlike the previous lot.

Shameful.

Apparently, his given name is Graham.

So, he' s been pulling the jock strap line since he was as school, I guess.

And we think we're clever. :lol:
