    Why can the scots vote in our parliament but we can't in theirs? Are the English second class citizens in the UK? We don't get free prescriptions or free university education yet pay towards supporting Welsh and Scottish so they benefit from both.

    Eh? Westminster is the UK parliament not the English parliament. Not nice when MPs from another country vote on your seperate legal,education,health systems etc etc. That was our position for 300 years, you've had it for ten. Perhaps your question could have been phrased differently asking for the establishment of an English Parliament to leave Westminster to UK only legislation. Funding? Lets not go there or we will end up with a thread the size of Public Sector Pensions debate :)

  • I was wondering how this was going, especially with regard to the tacit/automatic renewal scam. With even the Information Commissioner on side it should be possible to do something to protect consumers from automatic 'opt-ins' by insurance companies.

    The insurance industry will squeal like stuck pigs of course, and their lobbyists will spew lies about brainless consumers. To hell with them. Go on Martin; stand up for the ordinary man and woman against this rotten trick.
