I thought they just pull it off the network whoever they want to bug.
"Trump does not believe" - sheesh!

I doubt it's because they're lazy. There was one case where the CEO of a health board gave as his reference on his application for the post the head of sales to the NHS at a pharmaceutical company. What brought him down was merely the fact that he forgot to say he was living with her at the time. No scandal about her role in charge of selling stuff to a public agency and her simultaneous appearance as a reference on someone's application to a post in which he'd buy it from her.FrancisUrquhart said:A builder has been jailed for two years after making more than £1million over the course of a decade by pretending to have a PhD to become chairman of two NHS Trusts.

Probably a naïve question on Corbyn's tax return but if he claims his LOTO salary (which is perfectly obviously a salary) as a pension or benefit, how does that affect the NI position? Surely the figures wouldn't come out right?0

Wire tap is such a wonderful expression - like wirelessHertsmere_Pubgoer said:

I thought they just pull it off the network whoever they want to bug.
"The earliest wiretaps were extra wires —physically inserted to the line between the switchboard and the subscriber— that carried the signal to a pair of earphones and a recorder. Later on wiretaps were installed at the central office on the frames that held the incoming wires.”[50]

The court's reasoning looks a bit circular.

It shows what an utter load of b******t many management jobs are, and that many people from the university of life could do them as well as the highly-paid individuals who are appointed.

Again it is stonking PR. Making a total tit of oneself then continuing to draw attention to it.

There is hope for Paul Nuttall of getting a cushy public servant gig after all...
On a serious note, why the f##k aren't people checking at interview stage. It takes one phone call to the university (well in this case, 3, as he claimed all sorts).
Imagine trying to become a brain surgeon, quantum chemist or cosmologist without having the right experience and qualifications.0 -
Mr. Mark/Mr. Omnium, you're pitching things too high. Puns based on 1980s pop lyrics, or possible double entendres about the aerodynamic properties of F1 cars are the way to go.0

Out to 60 now on Betfair. That is a ludicrous price, considering the idea of the meeting tomorrow was for Sarko to try and persuade Fillon to withdraw and choose his own replacement.Morris_Dancer said:French politics: Baroin is down to 13 on Ladbrokes, but 36 on Betfair. That's quite the margin of difference.
What time are the Frenchmen having their tete-a-tete-a-tete tomorrow?
Not saying Baroin WILL replace him, but the over-reaction to the Party announcing they have no plan B is ridiculous.0 -

Not really in a position to do much. Only marginally green on Fillon/Le Pen and Juppe/Baroin are too long to lay. Don't want to lay Macron any more (odds will tumble if he reaches the final two, which seems likely).0

US citizens perhaps not but to my certain knowledge Procter and Gamble employ lots of people from the banned countries in their Middle Eastern offices. One thing you can say for P&G they are completely nationality blind. Many times the product manager will be anything from Palestinian to Iraqi and his underlings might be American. They run a genuine meritocracy that pays no lip service to nationality or age.RobD said:

Yeah, but the article states his travel privileges are being reviewed. Unless the privileges of US citizens are being reviewed I can't see how this is true.Roger said:

They didn't really have much choice did they? They could not force him to stand down and they could not put another candidate forward because that would have split the Party vote.Morris_Dancer said:French: Fillon gets strong Republican backing.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39184387
So the only option left is to give him their support. Otherwise the Party would have got the blame for not supporting him if and when he loses and they need Fillon to totally own the defeat.0 -
