Skinty McEdger
Mar 9, 2008

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Brandon Lewis is now a Home Office minister. Lewis is all about the austerity, used to be a director of a private schools company Woodland School's Limited and used to lead Brentworth Borough Council (at the same time as he was director) during which time it was purely coincidence that Woodland Schools had business in that area.

He's most notable for having run on a clean and open expenses campaign, only to get caught out when he was accused of using £37,000 of tax payers money for campaign purposes (IPSA never investigated). Add to this he made a big show of only claiming £21,500 for accommodation which was kind of undermined when it turned out he was also claiming £31,000 of hotel expenses in the same years. Lewis of course lives less than an hour away from Westminster.

I'm not sure on this, but I think the key word is "resident" (to register to vote in the normal way in the UK). But as residence in the UK seems to be an informal affair involving gas bills I feel like one could get away with things in a way that may or may not be against the spirit of the rules and/or fraud.

Turns out, if I click all the way through to downloading a paper registration form, it finally specifies you have to be resident in the UK to register. Nothing on any site before you actually print out a form actually mentions this (though common sense would strongly suggest it must be the case). Oh well. Residence seems to be defined similar to Canada, more than half the year in the country or some other compelling reason that ties you tot he country.

It's a The Thick of It reference (the leader of the opposition gets followed round by a journalist dressed as a pork chop when she is on the ropes), unfortunately though if you look up Thick of It pork chop on you tube it just comes up with a load of recipe videos.

One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time.

If theres anything the last two months have taught me its that all the voices in positions of power in the government, the press and just about every element surrounding both don't know what the gently caress they are talking about and the result of the election should tell us that our political system is so obviously incapable of representing the will of anyone in this country that its loving embarrassing.

Michael Gove. Environment Secretary. Boris Johnson. Future Prime Minister. What the gently caress is going on.

Hey you know how the DUP are coming to Downing Street on Tuesday to continue negotiations? Or that at current the 1922 committee is supposed to be meeting with May on Tuesday?

Apparently no one told May as she just announced she's going to France then to meet with Macron.
