I threw the headteacher's letters in the bin, the one about asking for permission first, then the one about how he refused it, in the bin. I'll send them back to school with a sick note.<BR/><BR/>Ok?<BR/><BR/>You just got more accountability out of me than I'm ever going to see from you as an MP.Whitby Bridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238597635972068039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647685282789008730.post-81463653724672640132008-07-07T18:52:00.000+01:002008-07-07T18:52:00.000+01:00Some of us save and scrimp all year to get a holid...Some of us save and scrimp all year to get a holiday.<BR/><BR/>And I can't change my profile to reflect that?Whitby Bridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238597635972068039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647685282789008730.post-42888757265818495842008-07-07T18:50:00.000+01:002008-07-07T18:50:00.000+01:00I also voted to keep the addresses of MPs' second ...<I>I also voted to keep the addresses of MPs' second homes private. Having been burgled twice last year, and also been accosted on the doorstep of my London flat late at night by someone wearing a hood pulled tightly round his face and very dark sunglasses (he didn't say anything, just stood waiting for me to open my door), I'd rather not flag up to anyone that here's a property where a woman lives by herself, arrives home very late at night, and isn't there half the week.</I><BR/><BR/>That really is just 'a poor me, I'm a single woman.

It's cross-referenced between any number of government databases. The council can check my mobile phone bills, my emails, anytime they want. You think only MPs get burgled, accosted or anything else. Some taxpayers even get knifed. It's just another way to make sure taxpayers don't see the size of your house, the Aga in the kitchen, the 52" in your living room that they paid for.<BR/><BR/>Any accountability would have been better than what we have now. Tough if you as an MP think it's wrong in the detail. You should have voted in favour.<BR/><BR/>But then, like 29 other PPSs, you didn't.<BR/><BR/>They're calling it the payroll vote.Whitby Bridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238597635972068039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647685282789008730.post-48537160438886462312008-07-07T09:01:00.001+01:002008-07-07T09:01:00.001+01:00Those MPs who voted to keep their snouts in the tr...Those MPs who voted to keep their snouts in the trough (remembering all the other allowances and gold plated pensions MPs enjoy) have earned the drubbing they will receive when they stand for re-election.

Or would you rather I posted a glib reply telling you I think you're all wrong on every single point without having considered what you have to say? I'm not going to allow this blog to be hijacked by a particular interest group, who have never responded to previous posts on smoking, so if I choose to prioritise posting about other issues first, that's my prerogative. <BR/><BR/>P.S.
