I have a treasured letter from him threatening me some time back.

What are his present relations with the company?

It is not that he is blind, some of the best people in the world are blind: Blunkett is a grasping greedy moral cretin.

This is a gross indecency. This hideous woman fails to reach targets and then takes £8.6m of taxpayers money as a self awarded bonus – forget the technicalities as to how she did it, she simply just did it. Sometimes the crime is too enormous for the majority of us to contemplate or even begin to understand. At least a partial face saver would be for the PM to tell her in no uncertain terms “Pay it back now or else”.

The Budget has changed all this.
Entrepreneurs, wealth-creators, much needed cut in tax for innovative and inspiring leaders, bureaucratic taxation rates, cannot avoid tax if we don’t have to pay it…
