Advice To David Cameron

Beware the bear at the corner of the street who claims he doesn't mind whether you step on the cracks or not!

Advice To Ed Miliband

Don't castigate companies for legally reducing their tax bills, when you yourself use the law to minimise your tax bill!

Swivelgate

As the ongoing fuss over the alleged "swivel eyed loons" comment made in reference to Tory activists continues, the media and politicians would be well advised to take a deep breath and calm down.

All parties contain elements within that the leadership of those parties would rather do without. Additionally, the term "swivel eyed" is nothing new; it was used to describe certain supporters of John Redwood when he stood to challenge John Major in 1995.

Get over yourselves and focus on more important issues!

How ironic that Labour want to make work experience compulsory, given that many MPs have never had a real job in their lives and have no concept of how the real world (9-5 drudgery and commuting) actually works!

They should do this first themselves, before they impose it on others!
