I seem to remember your suggesting that your answer to unemployment was for us all to get on our bikes (or mini-buses for those of us with families) - ample enough proof that she bit enough adherents to have left an army of her undead behind her - including you and the member for leafy Cambridgeshire.
"You lot over there might not like it; but it IS, SO, the way the British people want it."
