    Bl**dy Hypocrite!!!

    Here

    Gordon Brown has attacked Conservative proposals for taxes on air travel....

    ...He told GMTV: "I am not going to penalise the holidaymaker and I am not going to penalise people who have got to travel for all sorts of reasons on domestic flights. I don't think the Conservative proposals are properly costed or thought-out and I think people will be very angry about that."
    This is from the guy who only a month ago doubled air passenger duty!!!
    Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo rem

    But thats OK. You see that was about revenue it was about saving the planet so it doesn't count.

      Saw something on the BBC news yesterday morning where he was quoted as saying that incentives and encouragement were the answer, not tax. Which amused me given his record.
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      The original point and click interface by
      Smith and Wesson.

      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            I always thought that Gordon was a backdoor merchant.

                  That's homophobic, and frankly I'm disgusted by this sort of behaviour

                    Properly costed!!!??? This from the man who is running massive deficits and has changed his golden rule. He has taken all taxes and put them into general revenue. Taxed dividends! So my little 16month boy has to pay taxes on the dividends within his trust!
