Quote from: Sky News
Cabinet Minister Peter Hain has resigned after the Electoral Commission announced it had referred the issue of undeclared donations to his deputy leadership campaign to the police.

He must be guilty then...  whistle:

Bugger me! So he has. I never thought the arrogant b@st@rd would.

Call it a hunch but I suspect that he was given the choice of either walk or be sacked.  rubschin:

Just a thought but if Paul Murphy has taken over from Hain does that mean Wales is now subject to Murphy's Law?  drumroll:

Re Hung or Hanged ~ According to Fowler's Modern English Usage ..... Hanged is the past tense of the verb To Hang. Otherwise one would normally use Hung (as in "Taken from this place and hung by the neck until etc....."). On balance and since the deed has yet to be done I think "He should be Hung" is correct. Only after someone has done us that favour could we properly say "He has been Hanged ..... and a damned good job too"
