The time is fast coming along when this will have to be considered!

as I've mentioned before we can all tell the cwu to remove the portion of our subs that are paid to the labour party, last time I checked this it amounted to all of 10 pence a week. But if we all did it not only would we save ourselves some money but the collective difference to what we "donate" to them each year would be massive. However lets give them a chance to prove themselves first, let Mr Brown show if he's any different and if not then we show our disapproval.

I haven't paid the political levy for years and most of the rest of our office don't either. You don't pay a mugger to hit you on the head with a lead pipe and take your wallet, so why pay someone to close your schools and hospital wards and allow a pair of highly paid chimps to do you out of a job?
As for the Tories, it's about time the likes of Tesco had to label the products whose manufacturers donate to them. Then we can boycott them as well.

I haven't seen any of those postcards mate, but a 23,000 signature petition failed to stop Labour closing down most of our local hospital.

Yes, you're right. Personally I think a few shots at the Palace of Westminster with a field gun would be worth seeing.

Of course hold tight.

The MPs name would go at the top left and bottom right.

Fitzpatrick must be wishing he'd kept his mouth shut. Another e mail to the list.
