Quango of the week

... The National Housing and Regeneration Agency.

If your day is uneventful and you lose the urge to stab yourself in the thigh with a plastic fork or to jump behind a train, try dipping in!

Dice.

AC1, done, but one Anon seemed to be in favour of CBI, at least:

if gave everyone dole , then they could work and earn more than the dole without being dole scum, here is £60 now go earn some more, simple, if you earnt to much you could have it taxed back, it would end dole culture, you get it anyway, why sit on your bum, you get more for getting up and doing something.

> if you earned too much you could have it taxed back

Is there any such thing as earned too much?

Sorry we need to punish you for being too productive with your time!

AC1, I think he means that instead of having means testing, welfare would be financed/clawed back out of normal income tax, which seems a lot better way of doing things than what we've got.

I have a neice (on Mrs Lola's side) who worked for Prescott on this sort of crap. I had to walk out of the room when she was describing what she does as it made me apoplectic with rage. Mrs Lola was pissed off again. But, AFAIAC it gave my neice a good (as in stonking) wage, so that was something.
