I think I wrote to mine long ago
so long ago it was an actual letter, not an email, I think I was all hot and bothered about some proposed identity card scheme. He wrote back agreeing with me, I have no idea if it made a difference. He was a classic secretary-shagging Tory of the old school if that halps: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Merchant Oh, and it seems is now dead.

Alt: Calming down and just enforcing the laws we already have instead of getting all wound up and Daily Maily, based on recent threads. Oh, and the overthrow of the capitalist state, naturally

AltAlt: boring hippy food.

Yes, I have noticed this.
But I am baffled as to how you can all get so worked up over a planning dispute that is in to process of being settled through the proper channels and a proposed tax relief that probable won't happen and will likely make very little difference to the world if it did.

Apparently this translates into: EVIL GYPO SCUM BULLYING PENSIONERS

it' really does feel like the Daily Mail in here today.

ah, let's be fair
Personally I was getting angry about a ridiculous mis-use of statistics in a horseshit report that was no doubt funded at the direct expense of some more relevant (and more to the point, properly done) research, which is something I have a fairly crucial vested interest in.

nah, this was that utter crap housing report
which one of the government's funding bodies will have paid a couple of million to fund being written. A bit more of an issue than some shit printed by a newspaper. It's the report itself rather than the news or implications surrounding it that fucks me off.
