    By then he won’t have to do anything anyway because Britain will be run by receivers from the IMF.

      Does DD= David Dickinson? If so it got my vote
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              You think cameron will swap him in?! I would be very surprised if he made shadow chancellor. it was a big enough gamble putting him where he is now...

                What if it's a Lib-Con coalition? It could be Vince Cable.

                    hahaha.... VC is useless. It was him that said the Rock should be nationalised and its mortgage book reduced to repay the loans. I said at the time that this did not make sense because it would reduce liquidity at a time when we needed it !!

                    Now he has admitted that the Rock should have carried on lending because it has been damaging liquidity !!!!
