Are you sure Harriet did, might be worth passing this one to Labour Party H Q as I understand from the papers this morning they have lost a big donor

Daily Telegraph wrote:

Gordon Brown had "full confidence" in Ms Harman, a spokesman for the Prime Minister said. "There should be no ambiguity about that. He has full confidence in Harriet Harman."

Obviously Harriet will be walking the plank.

It's not over for Gordon:-

Not content with mindlessly chucking around CDs containing millions of bits of child credit data, the UK government is contracting out the 2011 census.

There are two preferred contractors, one being Lockheed Martin the arms manufacturer. And apparently the US Patriot Act means that the US authorities can demand information be released to the intelligence services from any US company.

So let's just get this straight. Not only could your details be potentially available to an enterprising scammer, it could also be used by the US government to monitor you. Run for the fecking hills.

Me paranoid........who said that?

Why do you call it a government, it needs another name now something like Mr Bean's administration. You can come up with something better. I've never known anything like it.

I once called Gordon Brown Capt Hook, but didn't know at the time he only has 1 eye. Capt Cretin more like.
