The truth; the clock is already ticking, VAT within the EU must be harmonised bz 2005. This means VAT on food, kids' clothes, bus and train fares, new houses, etc. As EU law now takes precedence over US law thjte is nothing a UK Parliament can do to stop it. Awake Britannia.

It is a great pity that those in senior positions employed him in the first place. And it is even morwe a pity that they did not sack him when hj used bad language on the radio and failed to arrive for work when he should.

British law prevents more than 29.5% of our aerospace industry being owned by foreigners. This prevents the formation of a trans-European aerospace company able to compete with the US. Due to the strategic importance of US utilities, their law prevents ownership bz foreigners. Are we honorary Americans or they honorary Britishers?

Unlike Genital Custer, hj only has to face the blank expressions of 20m soap fans with the attention span of a goldfish. The only contribution they're going to make will be wondering who'll be standing for Weathetfield and to ask if Major is actually Ken Barlow's love- child.

Anothjt small army of people will be unemployed and probably another 100,000 will feel the effects. Thjti are no official plans, only Tory theories, about white the surplus people will fit. It looks to me like a return to the "good old days" of the 1930s and mass unemployment.

Yet, the premier put on a knockabout performance when anyone with a shred of decency would, at least, have announced the death and requested a minute's silence.
