This is the "Post Office Card Account 2 (Poca2)" contract – which deals with pension and benefits payments and is due to expire in 2010.The 24 million or so transactions involved are valued at £1 billion...

She insisted on using Ian Serraillier's 1956 great story, The Silver Sword, as a class reader. (It may subsequently have been edited or re-written: it certainly seems to have gained a new title, Escape from Warsaw).

This company not only owns Britain's remaining nuclear power stations but also their surrounding sites, on which, not least for ease of obtaining planning permission, it is likely that most of the next generation of sorely-needed nuclear power plants will have to be built. EDF owns all the 58 nuclear power stations which provide France with 83 percent of its electricity. Since we sold Westinghouse, our last company capable of building nucleat power stations, to the Japanese in 2006 for a giveaway price of £1.3 billion, it is also likely that EDF, owned by the...

He went on to claim that this was "in no way" a complete U-turn on a decade of Labour policies to combat poverty. "Honest, guv'", he added for emphasis.A ridiculous ventriloquist's dummy at Parliament todayWe've been saying that for ages, you stupid Badger-faced cunt. Let's have more of the same.
