    Brexit to create 30,000 jobs

    Great news, my patriotic friends! The great Brexit gamble is set to create 30,000 British jobs for British* people! The EU have only 24,000 of these jobs currently so that's one in the eye for Juncker and his cronies. These jobs are set to come about in the civil service to implement the...

    Budget 2013

    Anything you would like to see? I would like to see an end to state benefits for wealthy pensioners. State pensions and winter fuel allowances should not be subsidising cruises, holidays on the Algarve and lavish spending sprees in Marks and Spencer. Invest the money saved where it will do...

    Vote of no confidence for Gove

    This would be an interesting move.... <link> I loved this quote: I do thing that general contentment amongst teachers, as with many public sector workers, must be at record low in recent times. Now before we get into "public sector workers don't know how good they've got it" debate - and...
