Serious fallout is now occurring  eeek:

Esther Rantzen has said she has received a "very warm" response to her proposal to stand for election against a Labour MP criticised for her expenses claims.
The TV presenter has suggested she might take on Luton South MP Margaret Moran, who has agreed to repay £22,500 she claimed for treating dry rot at her home in Southampton, 100 miles from her constituency.
Ms Rantzen said she had not yet committed herself to running and would now visit the Bedfordshire town to judge whether local people wanted her to stand.

Given that 50% of Luton is Muslim I shouldn't think a Jewish lady called Esther Rantzen would stand a cat in hells chance.
They'd embrace someone like Keith Vaz tho'.

I assume the silly bitch has never been there.

Answers to the name of Rudi Vis.
Golders Green now includes Finchley once the personal fiefdom of Our Blessed Lady of Finchley and personal friend of my MiL.

Rudi enjoys a very small majority of 741 and currently holds the seat for Labour.

Oh and his name is Rudolf but he likes to be known as Dr Rudi Vis ~ no idea about family/wife etc as no web site mentions them.
I therefore make the usual male assumption.

This is a better pic tho'



Guido seems to have doubts about him http://tinyurl.com/cex3jd

Being joint first for claiming the most in "Additional Costs Allowance" is all one needs to know really ~ a trougher of the first order.

Poet Laureate  - Carol Ann Duffy has read an improvised rhyme about the MPs' expenses controversy to highlight how anything can inspire new verse.

The quick verse read: "What did we do with the trust of your vote?/ Hired a flunky to flush out the moat."

Duffy said: "I think as a poet I did consider the MPs' expenses thing, but it's just too much of an open goal for me so I'll wait for something a bit more subtle to write about.
