*prays for tornado or earthquake*
Liz Railton sounds pretty impressive in her role.
Not.
JM, it's like the riddle "If a tree falls over in an forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?". In this case "If there were an earthquake under the building and all these people fell into the hole, would anybody notice?"
JH, Liz R probably earns twice as much as you or me for doing practically no work whatsoever, so don't knock it until you've tried it. She runs a fake private company, which is like a fake charity, but worse.
Plastic cutlery?
I'd have thought a dynamite suicide vest would be more useful (for your descendants).
"Cllr Brian Connell, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Family Policy, Westminister City Council"??? What the heck is that then?
Westmninster Council has 49Conservative councillors, and 11Labour. I am getting a horrible sinking feeling about our future...
Supported rate: voluntary organisations, trade unions, Friends of ippr £150
Reduced rate: Local Authorities, public sector bodies, Central Government departments and agencies, Non-Departmental Public Bodies £200
Full rate: Commercial sector £275
Why so ? apart from 'media', the private sector does not appear on the guest list anyway.
