Certainly didn't waste a vote on him. Not even 6th preference. He shouldn't be a minister IMO anyway. He is unreliable in the extreme IMO. But the Osborne et al avoidance is arguably a far greater problem than a late declaration or even a putative anonymising organisation, rather like the Tory MIC as it goes.<BR/><BR/>Has been going on for yonks too.

However, they seem to exist in a legal limbo, because you don't own them in the normal sense of the word, because if you fail to re-register you lose them (as I nearly did with one after the agent stopped operating and the registrar refused to do anything until very nearly too late for me - then the agent charged me lots of money to rescue the domain).dreamingspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324207120279777521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-83958084786846622272008-01-12T19:04:00.000+00:002008-01-12T19:04:00.000+00:00I agree with jon about the 2+2=10 pointGive a blog...I agree with jon about the 2+2=10 point<BR/><BR/>Give a blogger some random information and he will come up with a damning conclusion 9 times out of ten.<BR/><BR/>You try too hard to imply guilt without even trying to ascertain the truth. <BR/><BR/>Questioning the value and source of the domain names is a fair point but why then try to imply videos were done by silverfish and that this was inappropriate? do you have any grounds for suspecting 1. they made the videos, 2 the videos were gifts as opposed to purchases, 3 the videos were of any great value anyway as all the onesi saw were cheapo webcastsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-70831845005918911062008-01-12T18:15:00.000+00:002008-01-12T18:15:00.000+00:00As if Brown would abide by the rules.
