    Is it still the case that the Lottery council is allowed to discriminate against charities for the ex-military because there are insufficient females to satisfy sex-equlity rules?
    If so this is a disgrace, and should be rectified with a little common sense & decency.Comment Tags: force charities, sex-discrimination

  2. George Morley on said:

    What about the lottery of the frozen pensions. Despicable , unnecessary, unjust and unworthy of men and women who are respresenting the electorate and who should be above suspicion of any underhand and immoral policies which do not hold up to question. You are proving to all that you cannot be trusted and are do not care a damn. Comment Tags: frozen pension
