Title: Margaret Hodge throws a tantrum
Post by: Snoopy on June 08, 2008, 12:38:49 PM
It seems that Ms Hodge cannot take the truth so storms out in a temper.

Meanwhile in a packed weekend for the Government:

Demonstrators from Fathers for Justice are camped on the roof of Harriet Harman's London House and it is reported that advertising agency "Ogilvy UK" have turned down the job of improving Gordon Brown's standing with the electorate. Ogilvy are not even interested in doing the research to find out why people don't love Gordon, which I would have thought would be money for old rope.
Even advertising men have scruples it seems.

This is getting funnier by the day ~ can they really last another two years?

Ah! The Portia of our Chambers.  cloud9:

A bottle of Pomeroy's finest would seem appropriate at this moment.

I detect a theme concerning the people you meet Nick, could there be a common link to their madness perchance?

Dont think it was Hodge, but I remember hearing an interview on the radio a while back where one of these vacuous tarts in the cabinet was railing on about how it wasnt teenagers stuffing as much booze down their throats that was the problem, it was the middle aged people having a drink at home and she went off on one like an evangelist scamming money out of the gullible. May have been Blears or Hewitt.
