Title: The whole world is going wrong

And our Government feel it right and proper to continue their Summer Recess until 12th October 2009  eeek:

That is some holiday 21st July to 12th October.

 rubschin: Room for thought here. If we can do without them for that long ~ do we need them at all?


Just to make my point this is the schedule for 2008/09

In addition to the recess dates listed above, the House will not sit on the following Bank Holiday: 4 May.

Compare that with our forces in Afghanistan who get 6 weeks annual leave or the "entitlement" that Nulabour has so graciously passed into law that we are all entitled to 4 weeks (including Bank Holidays) pa
