This is why we need an election now.

But old Gormless has put off the elections till next year, probably terrified he'll get voted out (and rightly so!)

No, he's just a little busy this year. He's got to sort out the world's economic problems. He's an expert at economics, you see. Our current economic position is a shining example of that  ;D ;D ;D

Another indication that the government have not the first idea how the internet works or how breakless they are when it comes to specifying IT systems. They should just keep quiet so they don't appear so stupid.

It is already intended to store information about every telephone call, email, and internet visit made by anyone in the UK on a central database.

The grass is always greener.

Remember the ex-pats in Spain who had their houses and land taken away by the 'authorities' who wanted to use it for something else?

Agree with Chris, Proz, the grass is very rarely greener. The galling thing is that the majority of us want to remain in this country but we simply do not like the way so many things are going and have lost faith in the politicians of any party to be able to either truly represent our feelings or to get us out of this mess. Maybe Cem was right in what he was hinting at in his reply to an earlier post of mine about real democracy in this country being a bit of a myth. Perhaps we should form our own political party- the OOF PP and  then we could pass laws that would lower things like fuel, servicing and parts costs for omega owners ;D ;D.Think , a country run by us grumpy old gits!!!(no offence meant guys/girls/younger members!) :y
