Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

maxk . if he does not resign or sacked then it is pointless to vote

MrT .... i'm sure this episode (there are plenty of others from all spectra to choose from too) will keep you and your drinking (drunk?) chums well occupied from opening to closing time for at least the next fortnight

cynic if that is your view then your views are not worth reading again
as you have no views .

that is not being dishonourable to you as a person.
but not be interested in some one being greedy by being a MP
is not good

cynic I have a great life and loads of money all got by honest ways
would never break the law ,
I am honest and will speak out if something is wrong .
and not scared to say so

now off for a breakfast

sure as hell i'm not much interested in the tripe you post from opening to closing time

for myself, i'm happy to await judgement based on all the facts and shall not be surprised whichever way that coin falls

Red Ed accused of willfully 'averting' his gaze as he refuses seven times to say he'll reopen vote-rigging probe

Labour leader responded vaguely to questions surrounding the scandal
Mr Miliband said: 'we're determined to deal with what happened in Falkirk'

Former Chancellor Alistair Darling and Labour's Scottish Leader Joann Lamont have called for the investigation to be reopened






Ed Miliband was accused of ‘wilfully averting’ his gaze from the vote-rigging scandal engulfing his party yesterday – as he refused seven times to reopen the inquiry into the activities of the Unite union.

The Labour leader came under fire amid fresh evidence of the extraordinary pressure placed on Lorraine Kane, who sparked claims of Unite attempting to fix the selection of a candidate in Falkirk.

But despite growing evidence of a cover-up, Mr Miliband conceded he had dismissed the new claims on the basis of one phone call to Mrs Kane from a senior Labour official.


The scandal erupted over the summer when Mrs Kane and three other members of her family alleged they had been signed up as members of the Labour Party in Falkirk without their knowledge.

Another revelation! not only is Alf deaf... He's blind as well.

Must check with Hays later what the latest mantra from con party HQ is.

Bing Crosby must be working overtime.

I suppose it will start with it is all due to the previous government or the next one.

I wonder if Wavey Dave is going to get his gun boat for the Thames from?

Stan - more relevant is that i can't get very excited by this whole episode ..... in my cynical opinion, 97.5% of all politicians regardless of the colour of their ties, are bent to a greater or lesser extent or at least sail very close to the wind

do you recollect how 95% of us were gulled by Bambi and Iraq?
that distortion of the truth was far more tragic and far-reaching than a few quid purloined (or not) by assorted MPs
even more disgusting, are the swags and swags of cash still being trawled in by "that man"

It is not a party political problem. It is more to do with the way we recruit and pay for MPs. There have been corrupt MPs from all parties. Like cynic, I am happy to wait for Parliament to report.

Excited? What's excitement got to do with it? Your meant to be feel ripped off, thought of as an absolute Prat for voting for them, supporting and defending such corrupt and or Crony conduct on "your" behalf... Unless of course you secretly expect and condone such activity.

stan well put .

I am sure that I am not the only pure and perfect individual on earth, but there are very few of us.

However, if I am ever found out, I hope that I can walk away with my pockets full!

none of those Stan, so try again :-)
