Though to say it's stifling enterprise is a bit of a stretch as I'd suggest there's a world of difference between the very highly salaried and 'entrepreneurs' who are usually company directors with very robust "wealth management" systems.

Also, Danny Alexander still looks like a work experience kid who's been accidentally promoted.

I pay about ¤5,000 more a year in income tax than I would in the UK and given the pittance that they pay me here that is one huge mother-f**king wedge

[Berni]

expectation of or aptitude for power thrust into it regardless by pusillanimous voters stupid enough to vote for them and their glory boy of a leader. They never wanted power. They wanted all the fun of standing around tutting at everyone else whilst never actually being required to put their (or other people's) money where their mouth is. On some levels I feel a bit sorry for them (although they are lefties, so not really).

Danny Alexander is a proper spoddy, speccy tw*t, though.

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

I really cant see the point of voting, I dont see the point unless they let me register an abstention.

I don't see me in that picture. I just see me being taxed punitively.

undertaking some of the most far-reaching, long-overdue and important reforms of the education system ever seen and things are going pretty spiffingly.

Just need to excise of the LibDem carbuncle and it's broad, sunlit uplands all the way, j. :thumbup:

A cynic might suggest that the cabal of rich white guys in charge prefer it this way and whinging about having to buy Waitrose Value Quail's Eggs isnt becoming of a true gentleman.

I'm not sure how much credit you can give Gideon for any of this, the measures he introduced seem to have had a limited effect - and in some cases quite bad consequences.

Gove seems to be breaking more things than he fixes and, whilst people point at his successes, it seems they are largely rhetorical. Any pob looking bloke can mung on about grammar schools but I think you'll begin to see the effects of some of his more barmy policies.

actual election. UKIP will do well in the Euro elections (who cares?) and disappear in the general election.

Even if they tack right, reverting to type with their swivel eyed xenophobia. to head off Garage.

Is it really my responsibility to pay for someone who decides he doesn't much fancy going outside? I look out the window every morning and think the same, but up I get nonetheless because that's what a chap has to do.

However, if they're just going to sit there getting even more mental and going blind into the bargain, then no.
