Harriet Harman.

[Disco Boy]

So you're not a fan then ?

Who better a candidate than Harriet for the board of OcUK as Diversity Director ?

Good grief ... I would have sleepless nights if I paid her wage, which I sort of do now. * shudders *

Ooh that reminds me of something which I've always wondered.

Do social servants (and all people who are paid directly by a government body) pay income tax?

 

[Von Smallhausen]

Sorry, this position is only open to black lesbian midgets.

Faaaaaaaaaaar too hot a PC political potato for me to get involved in ................

I gracefully withdraw.

Although a Crown employee, I am technically paid by government and I am very sure that I pay it.

Civil servants most definitely do, what made you think that they might be exempt?

So the government pays them money and then takes some of it back, and in doing so loses some to paper-pushers. That seems massively illogical to me.

 

[eddie_slovik]

Sorry but in a strange way I think she's quite attractive!

I used to live in her constituency and bumped into her once when she was out trying to blag voters....................I'd hit it !

Whoever said the government was logical ?

 

[Scania]

Miss Harman is now attacking the BBC for ageism.

Link.

Does anyone else find this woman uttely odious with a frightening ignorance of real problems and issues that face the UK ?

War, poverty, recession, Afghanistan, social issues ..... the list goes on for problems that warrant attention and effort and she fannies on over ageism.

I truly hope she is the first Labour MP dumped on her arse at the next General Election.

Thoughts ?

My thoughts are your bang on the money, alas, she is representative of a lot of our current government.

#1 for me has to be Brown though.

 

[Disco Boy]

Well there's illogical and there's just plain and blatantly stupid. I mean they do a lot of things which a lot of people would have a think about and come to the conclusion that they're daft. This, however, I just can't see any reason for.

Hmm. I guess what I'm asking is what possible reason they thought up for doing it?

Harriet Harman is a moron, with absolutely no concept of the real world. For a politician she seems oblivious to the idea that TV companies do what the majority wants, and she also seems oblivious to the idea that equality means treating people equally...

Because they can tax you more than once, and then get extra money out of you. The money that's paid into our pension funds is taxed. Then once we retire, our pensions are then taxed again, as well as a lump sum, which taxed. So a nice triple whamy of tax on our pensions. Never mind other things which they can tax besides our wage.

 

[Von Smallhausen]

I have no idea db.

Illogical and decisions that lack common sense have been the norm for successive governments.

So apart from her Dolph, Labour can count on your vote this year ?

Vote for them to be put through a running man-esque game? Absolutely

 

[Vampyre]

The woman just makes me seethe. She is simply a misandrist, nothing more, nothing less.

Now there's a thought.

Ian Hislop as host, John Prescott strapped to that bullet ride, James Corden as that electricity guy ......... I like it.

 

[Richie]

She goes on and on about equality for women esp in the workplace. Why ? - Because she is a woman in the workplace

Now she goes on about ageism, again esp in the workplace. Why ? Because she is getting old herself.



She aint interested in bettering any situation unless it benefits her directly IMHO.

 

[K.C. Leblanc]

Everything that woman says is ridiculous. I can still remember the nonsense she came out of with when Gordon Brown was on holiday. The irony is she is probably the highest profile female politician in the country at the moment, and as a figurehead is making them look pretty pathetic.

Ooh that reminds me of something which I've always wondered.

Yes

So I suspect the HMCR do have to file a PAYE return (then probably even pay to post it to themselves.).
