Another with his snout in the trough...the ones who lived there previously were obviously living in squalor!

Politicians - almost to a man (Tory, Labour, LibDem - it doesn't matter) they're a bunch of self-serving, corrupt nest-featherers totally detached from the real world and the concerns of ordinary people.

I lost faith in politiicians long ago and wouldn't vote for any of 'em because despite all the promises they make around election time, the end result is ALWAYS the same, i.e. yet more sleaze, corruption and the man in the street getting shafted (taxed to the hilt) on a grand scale.

I recall watching a television programme, can't remember the name, where the previous Speaker (Betty Boothroyd) allowed cameras into her apartment & she very proudly showed off & boasted of the splendour of the furnishings & fittings saying how lucky she was to enjoy such a priveledge.
Has Mick been having some of his Scottish pals round for a few beers & a knees up, wrecking the place while he entertains them on the bagpipes?
Perhaps a lot of the money went on soundproofing to deaden out the sound of his bagpipes!
I know that he wasn't the Speaker but is this the same flat that Derry Irvine(another of Blairs mates)
spent an absolute fortune on hand made wallpaper, "One can't simply nip down to B&Q for a few rolls of cheap DIY wallpaper" he said, or are there even more oppulent apartments being maintained, decorated & furnished to the extavagant tastes of the occupiers out of the public purse.

Trumpton summed it up perfectly in the thread about the arrogance of politicians when he said this:


"There was a time when politicians were paragons of probity, retitude and honour. However, in the past 25 years there has been an erosion of these old fashioned attributes which has now been replaced by unashamed greed and mind numbing arrogance."


Hope you don't mind me quoting you Trumps, but I think you summed it up perfectly with that statement. Very well put.

No that's fine. !thumbsup!

I was listening to a radio show the other day where three politicians from the main parties were being interviewed about their salaries and expenses.
They all unashamedly agreed that their ?60K annual salary was not enough!!

It's just another example of a 'socialist' politician who will pontificate to us on the virtues of 'equality for all', but once in power those virtues very quickly disappear to be replaced by institutionalised self-serving greed.

Nevermind all this work that has been carried out should keep a couple of hundred Asylum Seekers in jobs for a wee while yet ...

PEOPLE think Stephen Hawking is so clever, but when you ask him a question and he is typing in the answer on his little screen, how do we know he isn't just looking up the answer on the Internet?
