Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

What a tosser. Surely most grown men will have a driver's licence, or at least an MP should have been aware of the requirement for ID. It was very clearly stated on our polling cards which arrived weeks ago. You often have to send your driving licence to the DVLA for one reason or another. And if you have a passport it may be in your other home (MPs have two). He's not the first person to suddenly realize there's a problem. And if you're under 65 there really aren't any other approved forms of ID. You can get some sort of special id from the council. It's not as though these elections have been suddenly sprung on people. |

Peak Base Rate was 17% under Thatcher at the end of 1979.'Real' interest rates were much lower in that by Spring 1980 RPI inflation was running at 22%. It was certainly an interesting time to have a variable rate mortgage.  Indeed - though when inflation was so high 'real' mortgage rates were negative and the householders debt burden was declining! |

And houses were a lot cheaper as a proportion of wages, and the mortgage amounts a lot less etc. (and Sky Blues were in the top division and there was no VAR…) |
