[Nick]

Plan B?

I was just going to post that!

Brown backs down in expenses row

 

[Nick]

Yes, but they will find a new wriggle 

[Uncle Mort]

Faffing about by the sounds of it.

We are becoming a third world nation on par with Nigeria, all politicians and those in the House of Lords are on a back handers.

Agreed.

Shocking.

He says he has done no wrong... 

There should be an immediate investigation into their finances... 

[grumpyoldsoldier]

I gather that if they are found to be taking back handers nothing will or can be done about it, it makes my blood boil

Well, they say there are no regulations covering their conduct... how about fraud, tax evasion, etc? Start looking at their bloody bank accounts and lifestyles and see if anything is amiss...

I really wish I was shocked and surprised. 

Ermine-covered crooks.

The Devil's Kitchen sums up my views on it nicely here...

Warning - foul language and the 'c' word!

These people are cunts and they must be removed. All of them. Our Parliament is corrupt to the core and rotting from the ground up. Our legislators serve no purpose but to enrich themselves and, if it requires them to put the sell us into slavery, then they will happily do so.

This has gone beyond a little light-fingered thieving: this is the selling of policy to corporate interests for money; this is collusion with big business to enslave the nation: this is fascism.

Raze the entire place to the fucking ground and hang every single inhabitant: let there be a bonfire of their vanities. These people are colluding against the people of Britain for their own selfish gain and there is now surely no reason to tolerate this disgusting state of affairs.

It's time to clear out the rot and start again.

Not that nice Mr Mandelson, surely?
