i think it is very difficult to get away working on the black nowadays roger, so much work goes through agencies who demand n.i. numbers.
paul
you may well be right but it must cause friction in cabinet.

Paul, you are being approved by a former UKIP chairman to stand in Dover and Deal for the Conservative party, to take this advice would give you national media coverage.
It's not common to receive such backing from a UKIP candidate of the last General Election.
It could be the swing in the critical moment from increasing UKIP favour at the polls back to the waning Tories.

What is the percentage of rent benefit that goes direct to Landlords?
Whereas, I do believe that this is the best method, as rent due is paid and gives tenant security. I do believe this method gave un-scrupulous landlords the easy chance to bump up rents.
This is more prevalent in cities and university towns than it is here but does throw the question that again the source where cuts could be made is being forgotten, whilst the genuine on benefits pay the price for this greed yet again.

Seeing all you left of centre types poring over the entrails of the Tory party and celebrating the slightest cock-up while studiously ignoring the abject failure of the Labour Party to come up with any coherent alternatives brings to mind Matthew Ch7 v3.

Peter did you mean Ch3 v7?
" But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

I have long wondered whether the RC version differs in numbering to the King James. An Irish friend of mine received a reminder to some Ch&v, but when I looked it up it made no sense at all. Maybe best to stick with the I-Ching*

I got it the first time Peter.
That such bickering is endemic in any two-party system has been the lever employed by the Lib-Dems and New Labour in their self-serving attempts to appear to open up new ground. Ya-boo politics and all that.
This all must go back to the situation of two adjoining farmers who graze their stock upon a field that is half owned by each.
To overcome any argument that one side has the greener sward at any given time the idea of a fence has been done away with as they opt instead for daubing each beast with paint of their own shade of turquoise, pretending ever that one shade is discernible from the other.
I'd bet that successive Government have been locked into a fetish of sorts:each striving to pleasure themselves.

Peter.
If you was referring to me in #28 and only if.
Could I point out that in #27 I do not refer to slighting any government, they are all the same to me.
And if in a biblical sense you are trying to say that, if I was a landlord I would act in the same un-scrupulous manner to which I was referring to, then let me assure you, I most certainly would not.

I doubt if Peter was referring to you, but for everyone on here and elsewhere, if the cap fits, wear it.

may i draw your attention to "john chapter 8 verse 7"
the most updated version of this is "yea verily let he who is without sin lob the first house brick at the visiting supporters as they come out of the railway station"
