We shouldn't have expected anything more from this clown. As to practical matters, I guess it would be advisable to close the account which is registered and open a new one at a different bank, after having first changed your name by deed poll, and moved to a new address. Hopefully the government will provide the necessary grant to defray any expenses incurred (after having first removed it from your pension fund, pay-cheque etc.)Twighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698620636313191152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-53902319962630771772007-11-20T20:01:00.000+00:002007-11-20T20:01:00.000+00:00david, I agree, in fact I said as much earlier tod...david, <BR/><BR/>I agree, in fact I said as much earlier today "I hear that Gordon Brown has flown to Uganda and so will not be at PMQs tomorrow. If this is the case then can I suggest that, although it is customary if the PM is away for the Leader of the Opposition to stand aside at PMQs for another shadow cabinet member, in this case the point that Gordon Brown has deserted the country and the 15 million potential victims of this episode of ineptitude should be made loud and clear by David Cameron. I am sure Vince Cable will make his points as vigorously as he has done already today." <BR/><BR/>This government has ignored Parliamentary customs when it suits them; eg: the appointment of Michael Martin to succeed another Labour MP as Speaker, so I feel the Conservatives can ignore this one.Not a sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123293202225008273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-47564026805443543022007-11-20T19:51:00.000+00:002007-11-20T19:51:00.000+00:00Nor, I am sure, am I the only person who gets unso...Nor, I am sure, am I the only person who gets unsolicited calls from HMRC that begin with them demanding that I prove I am indeed the person they think that they have called. When asked how I am to know that they are calling from HMRC, they say that I should call them back (at my expense) and speak to a supervisor. "But you called me" I typically respond. This generally goes on for some time before I give them the benefit of the doubt and confirm my personal details (won't be doing that again). After this rigmarole we finally get to the point of the call, which is invariably nothing more than a reminder that my tax return is due in the next few weeks. All this to keep some young lady in a job in North Wales!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-23430449659896703372007-11-20T19:42:00.000+00:002007-11-20T19:42:00.000+00:00Man in a Shed,Unfortunately, I gather Gordon is go...Man in a Shed,<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I gather Gordon is going to be in Uganda tomorrow, so he can't do PMQs. If he sends in a Deputy, I still think Cameron should go himself, rather than put Hague up.
