  1. Workers made this! Brilliant!

  2. Daryl Taylor says:

    Good job by Oliver there getting in that great final point! If it was up to me, people would have the last Friday of every month off too.

  3. John Tummon says:

    Well said Oliver! Not much time for you, there, but you made the most of it, making a couple of key points in support, unlike the Lib Dem who just asserted “the English need a national day to celebrate Englishness”, which, of course, went unchallenged. That’s what we face in future interviews – we need to predict in advance the challnges ou position will elicit.

  4. Chris Carr says:

    Brilliant. Your life belongs to you and it’s important. Sod bosses, they own no one and nothing, they just get a hard-on thinking they do.

  5. Dave K says:

    Great work Ollie – last point was particularly clever.
