Show more »"There are those who would argue that the solution to the problem of terrorism in this country is not the formulation of more laws but rather lies in us being able to address effectively the reasons why there exist in this country people who feel  that their religion and people are under attack from the West and that force used against them in Afghanistan and Iraq justifies the force they use in terrorist attacks both here and in other countries.

After all most people die in hospital and there it is the doctor's decision when life-sustaining interventions shall stop. Doctors take it for granted that it is for them to decide. Why to live if they genuinely don't want to? What is 'in the best interest of the patient’?"Show less«

Press reports that George Osborne charged the purchase of one or more DVDs of his own speech about geeting value fortax payers money on his expenses. Is this true or not?

The press alao reported that David Milliband charged line dancing classes to expenses. Is this true or not?

Whilst these things may seem trivial to the great and good. Many of us ordinary folk just want to know who we can trust when time comes to cast a vote and most people suspect that won't long.

Thank you, and here's hoping for a straightforward answer from a politician." Show less »

I do not believe this cant be achieved with the will of parliament, just think if the oil goes to $100 again the uk will have additional income of at least an extra $80million a day from this levy/tax, $4 Billion a year. Just to say i have sent this plan/idea to labour and liberal and have had a typical reply which says nothing from the Treasury." Show less »

Show more »"MPs are asked to do two jobs with one person's time. They can do things like volunteer for the Treasury Select Committee and talk about standards of accounting for banks, which most people would have thought academic until Leman Brothers and Northern Rock collapsed, or they can appoint themselves as honorary local mayers and give opinions about doorstep issues that are usually decided by the council.

As a former vice president  of CityBank who did not volunteer for the select committe and spends a maximum amount of time on local issues, what do you think can be done to change MPs jobs in the next term? Do you think MPs should only be paid if they do detailed parliamentary work?" Show less »
