It would wipe the smiles off these incompetent leader's faces if we all stopped paying our taxes. I expect most of the country already have.

Indeed, a whole year old, and seemingly forgotten. I didn't forget though and seems to me this should be in the news today.

How do you legally pay someone out of the profits from a war?
Give them a job!

I wonder where Brown will end up?
Watch this space!

It's easy when you connect the dots.

Did anyone else see the comedy sketch where Tony Blair went into JP Morgan's offices for his first day and goes into a meeting room to ask what he should do? After a while the boss tells him to go out to get coffees for everyone and people proceed to give him orders for cappuccinos, lattes and mochas. Of course, he comes back with all the wrong stuff. Made me laugh anyway.

It should better be put like this.

J.P.Morgan and its associated financiers syndicate have called home its secial agent seconded to the UK government and New labour Party since 1992, after all his missions were successfully completed.

I thought his job was bringing peace to the Israel-Palestine conflict? Or is that one Mission Accomplished?

This might be old news, but very relevant in light of the fact that JPM got £700 million in "advisory fees" for sorting out bank bail outs, HBOS Lloyds merger etc.
