Mr. Gray
Deposit Protection Service (DPS)
Further to my previous email, the adjudicator has now provided a response to your recent queries regarding the decision. Their response is as follows:
“I have reviewed this case and am satisfied that the agreement was for a fixed period of 2 months, rather than 6. The issue was that there was a separate agreement attached to the pro-forma tenancy agreement, which stated that the fixed period was in fact 2 months. The Landlord only provided the pro-forma document which indicated it was 6 months.
However, reviewing the papers I am satisfied that the Tenant did provide, but I missed or overlooked, a copy of the addendum agreement for 2 months, and that therefore my decision was wrong. The only award made was in respect of rent due for the remainder of the “fixed term”. However, having reviewed the case I am satisfied that the fixed term had in fact expired, and therefore the Landlord received the £380 deposit in error as it should have been refunded to the Tenant.”
In light of the adjudicators comments, the DPS has taken the step to raise a cheque payable to you in the sum of £380 which will be sent shortly under separate cover.
Please note that the adjudicators comments above do not affect the validity of the decision which remains final and binding.
We hope that this clarifies matters for you and clarifies the position of the DPS.
Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Complaint RE: Deposit ID 11218086
To whom it may concern,
RE: Deposit ID 11218086
I wish to complain about the ADR service provided to me.
The adjudicator who dealt with my case has awarded the full deposit amount to my landlady, on determining that the tenancy agreement was fixed for a period of six months.
This is the basis of my complaint: nowhere in the tenancy agreement I have sent does it state that the tenancy is for a fixed six month period. The landlady omitted writing any term on the front of the AST F301E form, which you will be able to see from my attachment, and she also included a separate 2 sheet addendum to the agreement marked F301E - "additional and highlighted points", which clearly specifies - and I quote verbatim - that this is an "agreement for minimum of 2 months letting of room."
It is therefore beyond me how your adjudicator has managed to determine the tenancy period was fixed for six months, when the landlady has provided me with paperwork, which contradicts her claim, and consequently your decision.
The landlady has deliberately misled you as to the term the agreement was for, and I am disappointed that you did not originally spot this when looking over the paperwork. Please could you reconsider the situation, as I believe your judgment to be incorrect, and I have the evidence to support this in writing. Furthermore, when the minimum term of 2 months was originally agreed, this was witnessed by two property professionals, who are both willing to confirm that the minimum term was agreed for 2 months and not for 6 months!
Your attention in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I cannot afford to lose this money, and believe that I have been unfairly dealt with.
I await your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Jamie Gray

outrageous
Outrageous is the only word to describe the decision of the external company hired by the DPS, who today have notified me they intend to award the full amount of the deposit to Christine. The breakdown of their decision has been sent, and it is interesting to see that they do not uphold her counter-claims in respect of lost keys, water damage, or lack of a forwarding address. What is absolutely unacceptable to me is that they have awarded the full deposit to her in respect of lost rent. The adjudicator has, according to the resulting paperwork, agreed that my tenancy at Avon Close should have been for a period of 6 months. Because I left after 4 months, even though I gave full verbal notice of intention to end, they have concluded that she is entitled to my deposit in lieu of lost rent.
The problem with all of the above is that I do not contend my tenancy period was ever agreed at 6 months. In fact, on the official AST F301E form, Christine has not even deigned to write a minimum term of tenancy in the space, or even a commencement date of my tenancy. Further, on her unofficial two-page addendum, entitled 'Additional and Highlighted Points', in big bright letters at the top are the words 'Minimum Period Two Months'. I verbally agreed this tenancy with her on the basis that it was, in fact, for a minimum period of two months, and this was witnessed by both my dad and stepmum. All of this is very strong evidence, which is why I cannot understand for a second how someone with half a brain, let alone legally trained, could have overlooked such glaring evidence.
I am actually shaking with rage as I write this. I have never felt such a strong sense of injustice in my life. I will be writing to the DPS, calling the DPS, and emailing the DPS until that money is back in my bank account, because I do not believe for one second that Christine is legally entitled to my money. The DPS is allegedly supposed to protect the interests of its patrons, i.e. tenants, and I am sure that national newspaper coverage would be ideal in highlighting how they are failing to uphold the principles on which they are based.
This is not over.

post 401
Seems creepy, doesn't it? 400 posts to this blog and, if you haven't read my apologies for so many of them being poker-oriented, I'll apologise once more, and reiterate that there's only going to be stuff about the band on here. At least, until we get an official band site with bios, clips and other nice bits in. Fortunately, this post from now on is going to be totally about what the band's been up to...
WEDDING GIG: 21/08/09
With everyone's coursework now out of the way for another year, the band are free to concentrate on final preparations for the gig at Jenni's wedding. It was largely felt that, when things did go right at the Hatter gig, the band didn't sound too bad at all, and there was definitely potential for the future. Encouraged by this, we continued to rehearse this summer in the absence of our drummer Emma, and today have had a very productive rehearsal, learning Son of a Preacher Man, Mr. Brightside, Summer of '69, and Pretty Woman. Next time, on Friday week, we aim to be rehearsing Mercy and quickly revising Son of a Preacher Man in a different key.

in ADR
Okay, well finally my DPS case is being processed through the ADR service. This apparently involves outsourcing the actual case to an external, legally-trained company on behalf of the DPS. This company makes a decision on the available evidence (which I must say, should work in my favour as I have ample documentation to prove everything) and then notifies the DPS, which in turn notifies me.
It turns out that Christine is claiming a ridiculous series of amounts of money from me; £196 to replace the locks at Avon Close, along with sets of new keys? I cannot believe how many times I have to repeat my statement to her that Royal Mail lost the damn keys, not myself, and that the keys were processed through their recorded delivery system, which means that I have written and online proof of postage, which can be easily verified by the external company.
She is also claiming in excess of £300 for 'water damage to the lounge ceiling due to usage of the shower'. Seeing as she was in Africa at the time it is rather interesting how she aims to provide any sort of hard evidence that I was exclusively to blame for this so-called 'damage', particularly as all occupants of Avon Close were using the shower facilities at the time. It is not unreasonable to expect people to wash themselves at least daily.
She claims an undisclosed figure for 'failing to provide a forwarding address for correspondence', and yet she has not even asked me for one in the time that she was in the country. Beside that point, virtually every communication I have had with her to date has been via email, so why is a forwarding address necessary?
I have to say that if this is her basis for contesting my claims to the adjudication service, I remain hopeful and confident of a favourable outcome.

pisstake
Christine is really taking the piss with my deposit from Avon Close. She has not returned it because she believes that I still have the keys, even though these were posted on the 27th April via Royal Mail's recorded delivery. In that time period, Royal Mail have confirmed to me that the likelihood is the keys have been lost in a sorting office. I cannot see how it could in any way be my fault that she does not have the keys. I haven't yet ruled out the possibility of pursuing compensation from Royal Mail.
Since she hasn't returned my deposit in full, I have had little option except to use the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) service from the DPS. I believe that I have excellent documented evidence which will ultimately result in a decision in my favour. I have also drawn up a summary of communications which will neatly correlate with all the correspondence I have ever sent her, whilst simultaneously highlighting how long it has taken her to respond to each of my points.

17 Avon Close
---ORIGINAL MESSAGE START---
Thank you for leaving the room locked and clean. Please can you return the keys to me at 121 or to 17 AC ASAP? Thanks
I will read the meters this weekend and reimburse you accordingly.
The lounge looks like a water disaster from the shower which was brand new in July 08. The shower works fine so I wonder what happened. Perhaps you can tell me? Meanwhile I'll get a decorating quote. Thanks
Our contract said you would give me verbal notice and whilst I agree that talking to me in Tanzania is more than normal cost it woud lhave been good to know that you have spoken to me or to Stephanie, my appointed represenatative that all other 10 tenants knew of.
I didn't recieve any voice messages or I woudl have sent you a reply; you know that I would always make clear all arrangements. Christine
---ORIGINAL MESSAGE END---
Why is it incumbent upon me to tell her what happened to the shower? Why not Nathan, Rebecca or Ellen? The real subtext of "I'll get a decorating quote" is "sit back while I find a ridiculously high price to charge you for something that isn't your fault".
Bizarrely enough, if Christine had read her own contract, she would have discovered that I am eligible to leave after two months. You just have to love the total hypocrisy dripping through this email. "Our contract said you would give me verbal notice." Oh yeah? Well, if the only contact number you leave me is your mobile phone number that's constantly switched off, is it not perfectly reasonable to leave voicemail, text message, and an answering machine message on your home landline? Yes, all other ten tenants knew that Stephanie was your appointed representative, but the other tenants aren't the ones having a dispute, are they? It would be helpful in the extreme if you had deigned to name your representative, but you didn't.
Bizarrely enough, if Christine had read her own contract, she would have discovered that I am eligible to leave after two months. You just have to love the total hypocrisy dripping through this email. "Our contract said you would give me verbal notice." Oh yeah? Well, if the only contact number you leave me is your mobile phone number that's constantly switched off, is it not perfectly reasonable to leave voicemail, text message, and an answering machine message on your home landline?

the end of Avon Close
I notified my landlady, Christine Holyhead, exactly a month ago that I wished to vacate my room at Avon Close. There are several reasons why I have chosen to do this, each as valid as the next, although two reasons stick out in particular: one, my life of quiet solitude, revolving around work, eating, and sleeping had led me to become evermore reclusive and at some point I developed a worrying gambling habit that definitely needed nipping in the bud; two, these aforementioned reclusive tendencies developed because the houseshare was not the most social or extrovert house one could find. In other words, all the current tenants of the property live their lives according to their own agendas, never seeking to find company from anyone else in the house or even to spend some time getting to know one another. Increasingly over the last two or three weeks, I found myself disillusioned by this social fragmenting, and did not particularly ascribe to this way of life. I have always thought it important to try and get to know your housemates, and interact with them in a mutually compatible way.

just once
Just once, it would be nice to live in a house where something didn't go wrong. There is a problem with the bathroom at Avon Close, in that the shower enclosure is leaking water onto the floor, even though I have been running the water for barely three minutes. In the past, I have dried any residual water up with my towel; the other housemates have noticed this maintenance problem too. The issue is that Christine, the landlord, is in Africa at this time, and so there cannot be any guarantee that the problem will be fixed any time soon. For now, I will have to have showers back at my old house on Devonshire Road.

a praise chorus
The theme for today is maintenance - we finally got our washing machine fixed after a couple of weeks of mysterious leaks and random flashing lights, and in a couple of hours I'm going to pick up my restrung badminton racket from the sports shop in Cheam. It's a little annoying to have to meet this extra cost, but I guess these things happen. It's better to have the whole racket restrung than only doing the half dozen strings that have gone - think what would happen if you had to call the piano tuner in to only do the middle two octaves. The rest of the notes would sound a bit weird! In any case, I'm pretty happy with how I played on the Wednesday session. My 1st serve percentage was higher (less unforced errors) and the accuracy was generally better than last week.
I'm currently reading Out, by Natsuo Kirino. It's about four Japanese women working a soul-destroying night shift in a factory. One of them discovers her husband is spending all their money in strip bars and on gambling, so she kills him and seeks the help of her friends at the factory to dispose of the body. Problem is, the police are starting to ask questions, though the women are starting to find themselves up against more dangerous enemies, including a yakuza-connected loan shark and a nightclub and casino owner who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Buy it!

flatlining
Ok, well let's start this post with the bad news, which is that I didn't even get an interview to the Brits School job. 70 people applied for it and, like Dorking Halls, among the candidates were previous box office/theatre managers; just my luck. To make things worse, I also lost my quarter finals men's doubles match at my badminton club. Except for a few wayward serves, I doubt I could've played any better than I did on the night.
It doesn't get much better this week, sadly. A work colleague has taken the entire week off sick on compassionate leave, and I've plugged every available gap to the tune of 56 hours. I write this as I have just got through my front door after 35 consecutive hours of work. With shifts finishing at 10pm and having to be back at the office by 8am the following morning, there just isn't time to socialise in between and find that oh-so-elusive female company, which is a shame as that's obviously one key component of evolving and developing my pathetic life. It's all I can manage to make dinner, eat, glance at the news, and collapse into bed.
Perhaps it's time I tried Prozac, or as they call it in the industry, "artificial happy"?

like a human resource
Deploy me as you see fit.
Give me a number instead of a name.

Electronic resources: the internet. online libraries. email interviews.
Human resources: people. in cattle grids.
Making bleating noises and such. Over and over.

continuum
Whilst sitting in my room with nothing better to do and nobody to be around, I dug this up from my blog archives: the following was written five years ago to the day.
"I hate today. The worst thing about it is how bad it makes you feel when you see all the smug happy couples out around town."
Isn't it bizarrely fascinating to conclude that I personally feel no different towards Valentine's Day now than I did when I was 19? Or does it just mean that I remain the eternal sociopath? Perhaps, in time, the unthinkable may happen and my world view may alter unrecognisably. But in the meantime, it seems that solitude is here to stay.

no news is good news?
As far as my application to the BRITS school goes, it certainly seems that no news may be good news. Like most other companies at this time of year, they have had to contend with a larger-than-normal amount of staff sickness, which means that nobody at their end has sifted through all the applications. I may not have an interview offer, but I haven't been outright rejected either.
However, news regarding the band is extremely heartening. Rehearsal went very well today; I definitely think today was one of our better rehearsals. As you may already know from glancing at my Facebook page, we will be playing a short set at the Cricketers pub in Kingston on the 20th February, at approximately 8.30pm. (Hint: Navigate to my Myspace page, look up the 'Upcoming Shows' to find a little surprise!)
We will then follow up our little stint at the Cricketers with an entry to the Battle of the Bands contest, to be held at the Kingston Hill campus of Kingston University. Bands are required to play three original songs. The first song we will play is Beseechingly, written by me. The second song is .... shhh, it’s a secret. The final song is written by our wonderful talented singer Dee McGruddy. Cross your fingers for us! There will be a music industry expert in attendance. First prize is £400 to spend on band gear and the promise of headlining more local gigs.

stupefaction
Hi all. This is a real spur-of-the-moment thing, as I thought it was high time I actually wrote something engaging.
How the hell is it February already? Seems that January has roared on by, in my usual alcohol/work/sleep combination. I'm in perfect sync with the rest of the nation's workforce - chained to a job by the need to meet rent and the usual multitude of bills. Pay something off and something else will undoubtedly spring up in its place.
I'm on 58 hours this week, as the manageress is on holiday and I have to cover. There's this inescapable feeling that I should be doing something better, something altogether more purposeful with my life. Unfortunately, this is the worst possible time to try and find alternative employment, because the
unemployment count is nearing 3 million. Nobody is recruiting new blood.
Money is the perennial problem; I know it's tricky for everyone to manage at the moment. It just seems that if I'm not working, I'm probably (a) sleeping, (b) staying at home, (c) watching tv or (d) on the computer. I don't have nearly as much spare money as I would need to go out and enjoy myself a bit more. I didn't make any New Year's resolutions this year so I suppose that would be the first one.
When you get into the vicious retail cycle, you end up praying that there's some light at the end of the tunnel - because all those long hours combined with low disposable income ultimately mean there's hardly any time to go out even for a social drink. Sometimes I finish work at..10pm..- by the
time I get home, shower, change, and head back out it will be almost..11pm...This makes it almost impossible to socialise or dare I say find female company.
I guess I should be grateful that, unlike an increasing number of the population, I still have a full time job. Yes, it may be below average earnings, but it's still something. The obvious depressing counterpoint is that it will take months, if not years, to find something I would actually enjoying
doing that simultaneously pays well. Truth be known, I've had enough of retail. Nobody should ever have to do it for more than 5 years, and I've already done it for 7, albeit on and off.
In an effort to be more positive and end these posts in a more upbeat manner, I'm going to try identify some silver linings:
1. Holding a managerial job for this length of time will probably look good on a CV when the right job does come along.
2. House is soon going to be syndicated on Channel 5.
3. This month's paycheck will be very good, because of all the hours I've worked. (Shame it will still go on bills!)
4. I am free to move out of my current houseshare at the end of June - this will probably be the subject of a later post.
5. If this government ever get back in at the next election, I'm emigrating.
Parting advice: wrap up warm, the forecast is for more snow over the weekend.

a time to kill (25 random things...)
Boredom is the trump card.
==========================
==========================
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
==========================
25. I've almost drowned three times and as a result have a phobia of water.
24. I'm paranoid about bees, wasps, and other irrational flying insects in general.
23. One of the best years of my life was being at Bungle in Leeds.
22. Whitney Houston was one of the first artists I ever listened to.
21. While I can control my fingers on a piano quite well, I am actually very clumsy with cups of coffee.
20. I enjoy going to Black Sheep on a Friday night because it perpetuates the myth I'll actually pull.
19. My musical taste isn't, as some think, limited to punk and rock. I also dabble in classical, jazz, blues, and ethnic music.
18. When I was 15, one of my cats practically clawed off one of my testicles.
17. When I was even younger, I rode my BMX bike straight into the only dustbin for miles at Carshalton Park. I fell head first into it and smelt of trash for about a week!
16. I blew up the cooker in my house.
15. When I was hungover in Leeds, I washed my car with a scouring pad.
14. I tried to win a scholarship back to prep school at age 5 but failed it because I didn't know who the sixth president of Russia was.
13. I'm secretly obsessed with House MD, even though it's not as good as it was.
12. While my mother gave birth to me, my dad was busy watching the ladies final at Wimbledon in another room.
11. My childhood TV viewing consisted of Rolf Harris, Pat Sharpe, Neil Buchanan, Bob Holness, Jon Fashanu, and David Bowie.
10. I think summer is truly the best season all year around.
9. I think I could have probably found a job in the music industry by now, if only I was born and had studied 20 years earlier. Shit.
8. I would probably vote Conservative. Sure, they're not perfect either but on balance they are almost certainly the lesser of two evils.
7. I dived into a skip when drunk to search for "treasure".
6. Having babies is the last thing on my mind - actual sex would be a good first step.
5. There are times when I wonder how people remain so hopeful and optimistic given all the negativity in the world.
4. I advocate atheism. Most international conflict in the last 200 years would be obliterated if there was no such thing as religion.
3. While I don't like my job, with virtually 3 million unemployed in the country I'm more or less stuck where I am.
2. Ultimately I'd like to write music for a living, as a solo pianist, in a band or for film.
1. I believe that money might not make you happy, but it might make being unhappy easier to bear.

'communications'
---ORIGINAL MESSAGE START---
Jamie,
hope you got through to BG.
I am concerned about contact with you; I think you have sent me a text 2x since you moved in and I have responded/acted upon instantly and yet I have rec'd no reply from you to my texts and the last email - to which everyone has sent a response.
I do understand that we did not go through your room for a through check but I know re the chips in the wardrobe and the drawer corners etc as I checked it out with tizzy when she left dec 23rd.
However, pl reply to my messages if you can and let me know that your DPS HAS ARRIVED.
Chrisitne
---ORIGINAL MESSAGE END---
Am beginning to have serious doubts about Christine's suitability as my landlady. It is one thing to express concern that I am not keeping in contact with her - and yet this seems a somewhat falsified concern, given that nothing in the house has gone wrong - but it is quite another thing altogether to be so ridiculously patronising, typing whole sentences in UPPERCASE TO REALLY HAMMER YOUR POINT HOME. I feel like screaming at the bitch that she is talking to someone with two degrees, a very high IQ and someone of above average intelligence. Come to think of it, she hasn't even spelt her own name right at the end of the email. Lol.

gas man cometh
---ORIGINAL MESSAGE START---
Hi all,
I popped in Sunday to read the meter as the weather has been so cold. sit down now with a nice drink!
My estimate is that the last 2 weeks cost you £129 so £30 each which is £20 more than I allocate in your bill payment for a 2 week period. Your electricity , in my calcu;ation was bout the same as b4 and as last year at this time. About £12+per month.
I suggest that you prepare to pay an extra £10 a week in gas if you keep the house heated most of the time. This is fine by me..
The next meter reading will be March 3rd so I need to have your extra cash in by the end of Feb. please.
At present I need you to choose when to pay an extra £20 to A&L on your £50 bill as long as I have it well b4 march 8th [ when I pay the gas].
Alternatively you can ring with the real meter readings and get the accurate costings almost as often as you like.
I am conmcerned that you will think I am horrid about this but actually I'm trying to make sure no -one gets a £200 bill which they'd loose off their deposit.
Pl could you tell me if you have rec'd notificatio fof DPS deposits recently?
I'm going to get my own house gas reading this am and just don't want to do it at all!
Pl keep in touch, Xine
---ORIGINAL MESSAGE END---
I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm getting fucked here. I appreciate that the price of gas and electricity has risen in the last year, but to charge each of us the equivalent of £60 a month is absolutely criminal. I will be ringing each company individually to ascertain the real figures.

solitary
This house is actually doing my head in. I'm the only one 'living' here at the moment, on account of the fact that everyone else has gone home to see their relatives for the Christmas period. It is unbearably quiet here, save for the occasional morning where the small Chinese boy starts crying next door.
The others won't be back until the middle of January. Perhaps it's just me, but I have always been accustomed in my uni days to get to know my housemates, and try my hardest to become friends with them. It's obviously a lot harder to do this when they're not around. For now, it seems clear that I should try and expand my range of social activities so that these situations don't happen so much in the future.

outsourcing
Ah, success! I've set up my computer in my new room at Avon Close, and have got the cheerful stereo on whilst I unpack the remainder of my things. The room is the biggest in the house (and for £380 a month, I should hope so too) though I haven't yet been able to meet the other housemates, as they've all disappeared back to their families for the Christmas holidays. Christine (the landlord) says that they are called Nathan, Ellen, and Rebecca. Nathan works at Yorkshire Bank in Sutton as a CSA, Ellen works at a book-binding company, and Rebecca teaches Spanish part-time at schools in the area.
Didn't actually realise how much stuff I had brought with me until it arrived at this end. I must make a mental note within the next few days to sort out a TV aerial - the reception is terrible here. The ceiling light also seems peculiarly dim, but I'm fairly sure it's an energy saving bulb. In any case, I can always use my bedside light. (thank you, Habitat!)

taxing times, Mr Brown
I note with increasing disdain that the current Government's big idea of getting out of this economic crisis is to borrow more money in order to provide a "fiscal stimulus." But hang on, wasn't irresponsible lending (borrowing) the prime cause of this in the first place? All of this from an unelected prime minister who is whoring himself around the EU like he's omnipotent.
This present Government inherited a perfectly serviceable economy in 1997. Since then, under the watchful (and no doubt admiring) gaze of bumchum Blair, dearest Brown has seen fit to increase income tax to 22% and 40% dependant on earnings, implode pensions, sell off a sizeable chunk of the national gold reserves, and redistribute wealth. (read: make the poor rich by making the rich poor) This is, of course, not to mention the huge amounts of waste that go on unelected quangos, think tanks, committees, advisors, spin doctors, etc.
At last count there were 126 directors at Transport for London each earning £100,000 a year or more. The unions should be fucking ashamed of themselves, but, fascist Nazis that they are, they will no doubt go on strike when their next undeserved pay rise rolls in, and blame the incumbent government for it. In a completely unrelated service, there is a job advertisement in Wiltshire for a "teenage pregnancy co-ordinator", whose starting salary is £42,000. At the time of writing I am unsure if the purpose of this job is to advocate conceptions or discourage them.
The worst thing about this situation is that it was completely foreseeable. Since Lehman Brothers went bust, the Government has borrowed £32 billion shoring up national assets - and don't think for a split second it's going to come out the gilt-edged pensions of Mandelson, Blair et al. There are two obvious ways to remedy the situation: spend less, or raise taxes. Historically, since Labour governments have a dire record in money management, the obvious option that Brown advocates is to tax you more. The knock-on effect is that you have less disposable money in your wallet, less money to spend in the free economy, and so the whole cycle repeats itself. For Mandelson to turn around and accuse the Tories or George Osborne of "doom and gloom politics" is at best nonsensical. Can you even begin to imagine the reaction if the Conservatives claimed that, economically, all is well? All of this from a compulsive lying scumbag who illegally fixed passports for the Hinduja brothers, lost his Hartlepool seat, and, more recently, appears to be fascinated with sucking the cocks of Russian magnates like Deripaska.
So to recap:
Mandelson: A walking liability. Offer him a blank cheque and he'll probably let you piss in his mouth.
Brown: Served as Chancellor of the Exchequer since 1997, now unelected Prime Minister, and therefore completely culpable with regard to economic matters.
Blair: Of course, he's the champion of the working man, the Joe Schmo in the street. Never mind that he has six houses and an idiotic bitch of a wife who's made a career out of the Human Rights Act. (which coincidentally has opened the door to a whole new generation of ambulance chasers and litigation)
Darling: Has absolutely no idea, business leaders in the City have zero confidence in him. Latest "big idea" is to tax rich people even more.
Quite why 30% of this country still seems willing to vote for these self-serving fuckwits is completely beyond my comprehension.
