Grrrrr - 'Jacqui' YTC. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Krusty Why? Every Home Secretary appointed recently has been more rabid than the last. I'd not be surprised to hear that Nick Griffin had been made a life peer and given the job if she does go. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and go and talk to the Catholics.
I week or two ago I might have been doing a little Happy Dance, but now I think that whoever replaces will be as bad, if not worse. Cynicism is such a drag.
Things definitely won't improve while she's there, but they /might/ with someone else. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Krusty Oh bless. <pinches Krusty's cheek> You're adorable, you sweet naive thing, you. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and go and talk to the Catholics.
Ah that's better, that boil on my arse has been bugging me for weeks. I know! -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Krusty That wasn't a boil. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and go and talk to the Catholics.
With a bit of luck the one-eyed scottish idiot will be gone shortly after tomorrow's European clusterfuck and the whole sorry lot to follow at some point in the next twelve months.
Quite. My post of yesterday said pretty much the same thing. And then there's this poll: http://www.ipsos-mori.com/content/home-page-news/ipsos-mori-expenses-poll-for-the-bbc.ashx Some selected stats: Three in five (62%) think that MPs put their own interests ahead of the interests of their party, constituents and country Three-quarters (76%) do not trust MPs in general to tell the truth. Two in three (68%) believe that half or more MPs use power for their own personal gain Two in three (68%) think that most MPs make a lot of money by using public office improperly
of course, just because those members of the public polled believe the above, it doesn't make any of those "stats" true.
Well, no. Maybe my use of the word "stats" was misleading and I should have used "soundbites". It still shows peoples general perception of MPs, though.
sure - basically people think MPs suck, and this is devaluing the basis for the democratic process itself, and will probably also lead to the likes of UKIP and the BNP gaining ground.
Sadly you are right - all this recent furore about nothing really, serves mostly to ensure that the isolationist (from the EU) agenda of the Barclay Brothers becomes a reality.
did you see the BNP's party political broadcast[1]? They've obviously employed a better Public Relations firm than previously - they come across as almost reasonable. [1]
Take a cold bath. "Furore about nothing" Half the house have become lying cheating thieving cunts. Any company would have prosecuted such actions. And we also have two labour peers admitting they would take bribes to support legislation, and they said it was normal business. It's Britain and it won't happen but I'd happily watch a military coup drag the fucking lot out and execute them on the riverside. 50% might have been claiming honestly but they all kept their fucking mouths shut.
