He goes in five weeks ~ very poor show. Load the revolver and pour him a drink someone, then close the door and wait for the bang.

I read that Scargill's Socialist Labour Party did well at the last election (Glasgow North East) because great numbers of voters didn't recognise the word Speaker alongside Martin's name...

According to Conservative MP Anthony Steen my outrage is purely because I'm jealous of his "very, very large house".

I knew it end up being my fault.

Found on the intermong


A
Quote
listair Darling is among nine cabinet members who used £11,000 of taxpayers' money to pay for personal accountancy advice, the Daily Telegraph has said.

Hold on. This is the guy who, together with Gordon Brown, actually devised the tax system. Now it seems he doesn't understand it.

Why the hell is he Chancellor of the Exchequer? Wouldn't it be a good idea to have someone in that post who can count to 12 without taking his shoes and socks off?

He's come up with a tax system so cumbersome, convoluted and unwieldy that he has to employ someone to explain it to him. What chance do the rest of us have? Unlike Darling and his colleagues, we can't just shove it on expenses along with everything else.
