Bastards

The Tories have done a deal and ID cards will be voted through. God knows what the sweetener was. Maybe ID cards won't be issued to anyone who owns property worth more than £10 million.

Oh and BTW. The Tories? Unprincipled? Craven? C#nts? Surely not.

Hi - I'm a friend of [livejournal.com profile] verlaine's. I note that you say in your userinfo that you don't reveal what you do for the UK Parliament, but I've just been offered a job doing the same thing and am not sure whether to take it or not - any chance you could tell me a bit more about what it's like to help me make up my mind?
