IN THE run-up to the most hotly-anticipated season of Doctor Who since it was relaunched in 2005 (season 31, if you’re counting), here’s a remarkable video tribute to David Tennant’s portrayal, brought to my attention through Twitterpal @lilianedwards and produced by HogwartsProductions.
Warning – this is for true Who fans only. Eleven minutes long and featuring clips from every single Tennant episode. Bloody marvellous.

Hmm… You can remove your tongue from your cheek now. It’s nice to see someone from HP who is suitably embarrassed on their behalf.
I notice that an annual salary of £65k puts MPs in the top 8% of earners, given your constituency Tom , I would think you are probably one of the highest earners there.
Actually £65K seems a pretty good wage for someone who requires no expertise or skills or formal qualifications or experience, they just need to pass the employment panel (albeit a large panel) who really don’t care about the individual they really just care about the individuals boss.
The fact that they all think they are worth more than £65K for a part time job (it must be part time otherwise they wouldn’t be able to take on other roles) is actually funny.
As someone who has always worked in the private sector but sometimes on public sector sites I can say that the public sector really does attract and encourage some of the laziest and least capable individuals I have ever met. I once encountered an IT Director (arms length agency) who had spent £40m on a system redevelopment who’s IT expertise ran as far as an English Degree and daddy being terribly high up at the FO. The project:
1) Didn’t need done in the first place, it was a vanity project.
2) Was originally costed at £6m
3) Was recommended against by the existing supplier in writing.
4) Was recommended against by independent consultants in writing.

I should add that if Scotland’s (or the UK’s) population were in terminal decline, a way to redress this and show respect to the domestic population would be to work against emmigration and/or to encourage greater birth-rates.
Instead, materialists like New Labour and Fraser advocate importing cheap labour from abroad which doesn’t require the expensive set-up fees (i.e. child-raising).

It was a really classy series. I thought the ‘angels’ episode with a few tweaks could have been an adults’ horror story and I loved the Agatha Christie one, very clever.

[...] anticipation for the new. No, of course not. I was minding me own business when I come across this post by Tom Harris MP. Your question is, why am I reading a blog by an MP? He’s not my local, I don’t [...]
