Declare an Interest

nice one on the Daily politics. Trust you not to say that you have some sort of Peston exclusive, we can take it then that National Insurance will go up with immediate effect then can we. Or from April, my sixtieth birthday is on the 7th. Remember my earlier links to the fact that I was conceived almost on the day that the NHS came into existence. Well what a great birthday present, what with my bus pass.

By the way I love that little smile of yours when you tease us. You are quite attractive when you do that, careful you may be acquiring a new fan base. I think you are quite a cheeky chappie really.

I wonder if he will also announce some help to councils over the bus pass, because even though I won't be using one, I walk a lot, they are very expensive, a four stop journey into the City centre, Exeter, is one pound sixty pence last time I looked. It is not possible to buy a return ticket because I might not actually catch the bus and therefore it would be fraudulent, taking money for a non-supplied service.

Talking of councils, we down here in Exeter are perplexed by government reorganisation at a local level, our MP wants Exeter to be a uniatry authority and every sane person can see it cannot be afforded. So, I wonder if they will instruct the Boundaries commission to stop looking into government reorganisation on the basis of the economic crisis.

I wonder if you will be effected by the increase in taxes for those on earnings over GBP150,000, should you not be declaring an interest, as should all the other BBC commentators. Or would that be some sort of bias, interesting, very interesting thought that.
