Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Its the so called clean and honest chap who has just as much to fear , maybe he doesn't want his boss to know his a cross dresser or his head master knowing his a member of the BNP

Hays,
Perhaps they didn't need answers. Cameron does!
Aids.
What is the fear? If he is an honest chap, whether he is "cross dresser", or member of BNP neither are criminal offences, and what is, is.
If anyone attempts to "penalise" or abuse him, because of his legitimate choice/s he would have redress in criminal and civil law.
Also, the likelihood of such information being assessed, or being utilised in present day's society is infinitesimal.

Hi Rawdm999,
Just viewed the Ed clip. I once knew someone who had parrot. Ed Milliband, reminded me of that parrot. the only difference is the parrot had a better range of vocabulary.
If you recorded his answer for the first question, it was almost word for word for the following questions.
I appreciate politicians rarely answer a question, but he was like a stuck record.
This must go down as one of the most pathetic Q&A sessions ever.
This man would not have got past the first round of The Apprentice', and he is hoping to become the leader of this country.
Like you said, painful to watch!

Aids,
Women have been cross dressing publicly for years without "stigma" or even "threatened".
Try going public, you would be quite safe!

Chomksy is an undoubted treasure in his sphere. He has an incisive mind in his area of expertise. I have a few of his books and they make entertaining reading. Unfortunately, like so many 'famous' people, he erroneously thinks that what he is famous for gives him some role and expertise in politics. He was always pretty leftish and now seems to have gone off the deep end.
I think MM has him dead to rights; "a bit ranty".

I have been watching the committee hearings of the police chiefs and Murdoch. It is all a bit of a waste of time. The quality of the questioning is very poor. They haven't landed a glove on any of the people. The explanations have all been pretty straightforward. Question to Murdoc snr, "did you know about..." NO. "why not?", because NOW was only 1% of our business and I employ 57,000 people. The committe has almost no powers compared to Senate Committees. Evidence is not given under oath and no risk of perjury.

Haystack - sadly true - its all a bit of a farce.

Remember during the IRAQ inquiry, Blair and Brown actually refused to answer some questions. They used the secrecy act, and yet it all obviously came out anyway.
As you rightly say, the committee has no power. They are like a Rottweiler with no teeth.
As long as those being questioned don't drop themselves in it, its a complete waste of time.
We should have the USA system and take all answers under oath, otherwise, 'whats the point'!
Farce! it's like watching Brian Rix but without the trousers falling down.
