do we need write letters to the new home secretary John Reid?

I'm listening to the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, on Radio 4 discussing how this election was a wake-up call for the Labour party. He's just said that the party must now listen to people instead of coming across as arrogant and inaccessible. Interesting. I know that I voted against Labour as a protest...

as far as i knew, tutu raised hand several times when they were talk about clark. no joy tough.

i have no idea. ftp deosn't work either. it seemed ok this morning.

There is a Action Plan and an Overall Strategy (see below). What we need is people, at least 12. We have got about 3 people who are doing their job according to the plan (nonothing is collecting MPs replies, rooi_ding is contacting Tory and Lib Dem leaders and media people, and I am trying to creat...

As the reply was quiet weird and absurd ,I have written again to him and requested for a personal appointment. I would like you guys to give me some input on how I can use this meeting effectively. thanks for informing, mate. i've updated my table accordingly. but the reply you've got does look lik...

if you've contacted your MP, please keep me informed.

cheers.

In the UK election system the marginal votes are the most important ones as they can decide whether the constituency will be a Labour / Tory or Lib Dem one. Immigrants were traditional Labour voters and as employment based migrants are more educated they tend to vote more than the average populatio...

this's a great plan.

i take the person b's job.

this is from LKCN.net (chinese forum). is it "a clue for the start date of new law" (the poster's word)? i think it's too soon, but who konws. don't you think? Why all these HSMP form and guidance only "Valid from 03/04/2006 to 18/06/2006" ? (See the water mark on the footnote of...

But a spokesman for the Home Office, responsible for immigration rules, said transitional arrangements drawn up with the Department of Health would apply to some of those affected. Junior doctors and dentists in current training posts would be allowed to complete those placements. it seems the demo...

now, we've got two important points. 1. Hidden Dragon discovered the way the HO deliberately ignore the Impact Assessment breached the RIA (Regulatory Impact Assessment) rules. “A final RIA must be laid in the House alongside legislation and published on your department's website whether or not ther...

for me, it's an important discover. well done, hd.

nonothing, good reason to update your records.
btw, don't forget about those three MP's who already signed EDM 1912, even though we don't know who actually got in touch with them.

got it, it's done. cheers, mate.

that's encouraging.

hi, guys i'm doing a table of all the MPs to track their action for the Anti-Retrospectiveness Campaign. i need all of you give me a big hand. here are what you could do: 1. raise the issue to your MP by either email or post. 2. tell me what kind of appeal you send to your MP, general appeal or EDM ...

The title can be "The Petition Against the Retrospective 4-to-5 Year Change in ILR Qualifying Rules". What do you think? might "The Petition Against the Retrospective Implementation of the 4-to-5 Qualifying Year Change in ILR Rules" be better? or "The Petition Against the R...

can you see the contradiction in statements of Home Secretary and Under Secretary. In other word Home Secretary is accepting it to be retrospective while Under Sectretary is denying it to be retrospective in another letter i guess the home secretary did think Retrospective Effects are not significa...

(3) On the monitoring tool, as far as I know, “nonothing” has the same idea with yours, ie to produce a table of all MPs, update who were contacted and who weren't and what their reaction is etc. It is a huge task and need to get data from both BTCD and Christine Lee's Team. He might have started t...

New programme is entirely different than old one and since they are applying that programme to us.isn't it Retrospective ? it definitely is Retrospective but the problem is the HO don't admit it. so we need more MPs to be aware of it. only when a substaintial number of MPs are aware of it and agree...

However it seems to me that there is a window of opportunity in the 2nd part of the Under Secretary's response: Nevertheless we are ready to to listen to you about any unintended hardships that are directly instigated by this change - but for most areas of life, if not all, things are simply contin...
