    Self employed and employed.

    Yesterday I was employed. So feel free to see if I made any posts between 8 and 4. Today I'm self employed, but haven't been able to get to where I'm going due to snow.

    When you have checked up on me, can you let me know if you are satisifed with the outcome? Please miss.

    Not that it's any of your business whatsoever, and I realise you are only trying to make some kind of point here, but I will tell you anyway.

    "A job" and yes, I'm posting in "company" time.

    I hope it isn't council 'company time' you will have Slaphead, Trump and their henchman on you like a ton of bricks icon7.gif

    Sorry, what question?

    I've made my position clear. This is rabble rousing rubbish. It's irrelevant what one citizen does for a living in comparison to another (even Graham), and this certainly isn't going to bankrupt the country.

    Up until the point this person does something illegal, at which time I'd be as delighted as anyone to have the authorities come down on him as hard as they'd come down on any idle scrounger, he should be treated the same as anyone else. If there's evidence of benefits fraud then tell the authorities.

    The question of his politics are a separate issue. There is a serious point behind his protest but in my opinion he's wrong to do specifically what he's proposing. But then I believe it's wrong to drop bombs on villages, and probably that is worse than marching through them, whoever does it.

    Since when did you have the slightest clue what the hell is going on in Afghanistan? I take it you have been there?

    When Oswald Mosely was preaching his filth during the war people challenged him, they marched against him and there was violence.The sole reason was he supported everything that we as a country were against.

    Choudary and his ilk are doing exactly the same and yet because he is NON white any reaction by the public is frowned upon and seen as racist..
