Sorry, no idea why or how to fix it. I have the same problem, fixed by just turning the computer off and doing something else.

I lost the combination number for a bike lock and didn't have any luck picking it. Only one solution, started at 0000... (2 weeks later) it was 8746!

Andrew mitchell. What a waste


After the brittosh gov' stopped foreign aid to Rwanda, (34 million a year) after it was proved there gov' was using it in war crimes etc, but on his last day as international development secretary, he made sure 16 million pounds of tax payers money was sent to them. Why?? That's not been answered yet!!

And Chris Hulme finally coming clean. After wasteing 100's of thousands of pounds in court denyong it

Getting more cynical by the day

For every £3 we pay in tax, £1 is spent on the welfare system.

There's nothing wrong with spending on the welfare system ...

I agree its a good system but all the scroungers etc make me mad

Chris Huhne is going to have to pay his own legal bill, I understand. He's toast!

His only hope is to turn himself into a media circus, like Lance Armstrong, and hope they make films, books, Oprah TV shows about him etc.


Tax avoiders cost us way more than "scroungers". Maybe better to get mad about them... ?

Don't believe everything this horrible government tells you, James. "All the scroungers" are very much in the minority and you're simply falling into the trap of allowing wealthy people to tell you who your enemies are. If you want to get mad with anyone, get mad with those who avoid corporation tax on UK earnings and those in the government who facilitate it. The semi - mythical figure beloved of the Daily Wail, living a life of luxury at the taxpayers' expense, is hardly worth bothering about in comparison, as Smiffy says. The welfare state is largely a good thing and something we should really be proud of.

Strivers v skivers, benefits explained, with data, facts, and comparisons with other nations.

Global firms and tax avoidance.

Strivers vs. Skivers is yet another aspect of the age old "divide and conquer" tactic. Basically, if the government can get the people arguing amongst themselves it'll divert us from actually realising who we could really do with bringing to book, which is of course, that self same government. See also: immigrants vs. "indigenous" Brits (whatever they are), public sector vs. private sector and any other examples you care to think of.
