Well, what do I think about the expense claims?
Gordon Brown welcomed a "Lumley" of Gurkhas into Downing Street. He looked delighted having them there... a pleasant change mixing with a group of people who only want one house each. The Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, has resigned. He wants to spend more time with his houses. Did you see him try and worm his way out of it? He looked like someone was shovelling sausages down his throat till his was choking on them, and for once, not enjoying it. When the camera zoomed in on his swollen, vodka induced capillary burst face, I seriously thought he was having a stroke, even then the Clarkes surrounding him trying to help him would just be trying to force his pin number from him so they could get the money back he owes, or take claim of his £170,000 pension.
One Lib Dem MP has received death threats over his claims. He is said to be thrilled someone has noticed him at last. Only a handful of MPs have been shown to be not abusing the system. Animals and wives yes, but the system, no.
The MP Sir Hope Peter Viggers was forced to retire after spending £1645 on a "duck island". Looks like a great investment as he'll soon be living on it. He has now lost his job because of those ducks. I think the next time he rehouses them it may well be in a pancake with some hoisin sauce.
A new body will control Parliament finances. The government has set up OfParl. They should add F**k to the start. The Tories say only a new government in Westminster can save Britain. I agree. The Swedish one.
In any other profession they'd have been replaced years ago by an Indian call centre. I think that's how we should go at this. Sack all MPs and just have a team of 600 guys in Mumbai, working 24/7 running the country. "Press one to speak to your elected representative, press two to complain about the bins in your area, press three to declare war on Iran."
