I was obviously mistaken and therefore ask myself "What are they for?"If they have this sort of money to splash around, (not to mention the costly move from Cathedral Road to the most expensive office block in town), they don't need any contributions from me. I have decided therefore to stop giving and donate instead to worthy charities who will make much better use of the money.<br />NemesisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-18936593467909120322017-11-15T09:35:29.981+00:002017-11-15T09:35:29.981+00:00In response to many recent blogs, we should listen...In response to many recent blogs, we should listen again to the now prophetic words of the following clip - British Comedy Fans added a new video: Yes, Prime Minister.Liked<br />11 November at 10:24 ยท Yes, Prime Minister.

Since Barry the Golfer excluded anyone of greater intellectual acumen than himself (setting the bar fairly low) from the Bench, we have no-one 'in house' to take on this portfolio.
