Blair. Black eye… wish it had been me!
You get all the tough gigs… enjoy Burnley.
You need to take a look at yesterday’s debates. Cameron did not look comfortable. He played the man not the ball, which usually means he’s worried about the argument
Hi Alistair. Sorry to raise a trivial point but do you know when the the show will go out?
perhaps ex NO 10 spokesman should be wary of phrase ‘blow by blow’ in black eye story?!
PM with a shiner? I’d have a few questions myself.
PM with a shiner – 50 million suspects.
Dear Alastair,
Had a reply from the Department of Health. Basically the Government must reduce social exclusion within the mentally ill community. Also, the mentally ill should be “supported” to take up and retain work.
The Government won’t be doing this though, it’s up to the local authorities to carry this out, and decide what day care provision will be provided.
It is going to be an absolute disaster for the severely mentally ill.
Why do the most ill and vulnerable have to put up with this nonesense? This policy will put the severely mentally ill at greater risk of relapse.
Why is it the people who ‘decide’ these matters are so stupid?
Ha ha, agree on coverage re black-eyed PM… you probably forgot to mention all the snippets offering black-eye remedies 🙂
Anyway, enjoy Burnley!
Best,
Alina
ah,my chance at last! Please recommend my favourite hobby to TB – Yoga. I knew I would get him eventually!?
