"So who's our Prime Minister now?"

I don't like him. I don't know anything about politics, so it could be because he's Scottish, yeah, that sounds about right.

For all that you can say against Major, at least he led us through a Gulf war that was fought for a good reason and was successful (to an extent). Though it did start Osama on the road to terrorism.

Anyway, Tony's been pretty successful in at least a few major turning points, not least Northern Ireland, which is a pretty amazing piece of work (Clinton got the ball rolling, mind you).

I'll give Brown the benefit of the doubt for now, maybe he'll overturn some of the more annoying Labour policies (Asbos, criminal 'care' in the community etc), though the real one that should be scrapped is the Council Tax, which should be replaced with an income based tax and extra taxation for more than one property (which also applies to those that live off their heritage).

I'll go even further, i'll be living in China next year so Brown can go and cause further havoc, i won't care :-D

hmm Gordon Brown or the Chinese government.

*laugh* have a great time Ben ;) enjoy the Olympics

except the government tends to leave westerners alone. You'd know that if you had actually lived there of course :-)

Thinking of going after the Olympics, that way i avoid all the crazyness of that and all the building work to

How long were you living in China Ben? Like America, just a couple of months ;) I suppose you consider yourself Chinese now heh.

They'll leave westerners alone as long as they're not filming China or hanging around Tiananmen Square.

Let me know how things go when you stay longer than a month. You'll have more experience with the government then.

There for 6 months in which time i had to apply for a residency visa and they were more than helpful and i never had any problem with them in my time there.

Let me know when you've actually been there for a day and actually have a clue what you're talking about, but then that usually doesn't stop you anyway

That's a nice little holiday for you. :) Lets hope things go smoothly for you when you're not there as a tourist but as an expat.

Yes let's.

Cretin

*huggles Ben* aww don't take offence, all I'm saying is that China like every other government has it's faults. =)
