    Love it! :T Who invited Martin Cutts?!!!!!!!!!! :rotfl:

    Private Eye would print the details of that speech I suspect.

    Will send it to my MP as well, we should all think who can send it to and do it this week while we have the chance, while the speech is recent and before Registered Keeper Liability and a BPA-led appeals procedure gets rubber-stamped and waved into place.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I suspect CM probably has Mike as an MP the same as me. I'll send it to him tonight although I won't hold my breath as he tends to blow hot and cold. What we really need is a bunch of Lewes based posters to lobby their MP ! ;)
    All aboard the Gus Bus !

    I have just asked my old friend(!) Steve Clark at the BPA for his comments on this.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    He's probably still picking his jaw up from the floor of the conference venue.

    If ever there was a 'fly on the wall' moment, it was surely this speech.

    I have emailed my MP with a link to Martin and Nev Metson's earlier detailed report - http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/plcdev/files/130/original/DVLA-BPA-23May2012AsPub.pdf as well as the speech.
    If I had a signature, this is where it would go.
