Toxic hamsters!

Can we go back to how vile a person Margaret Beckett is, please?

The way she treats her security detail as personal servants is utterly shameful. And she has a caravan, yet more reason to loath her.

Another MP has said they're off as well, I gather, Tom Watson,

AS for the OP - its not a party political matter - indeed the Tories are worse - far worse.

We should loose half the MPs we have and there should be criminal prosecutions

TJ -

the principle of the NHS is "all without favour"

That argument is rather undermined by the geographical variation in both drug and treatment provision.

is that because he bought a Segway on expenses as the walk form the chauffeur rank to the chamber was 'a bit tough'

AS for the OP - its not a party political matter

and the OP hasnt made it a party political matter.

Im talking about the Cabinet and the government unwinding like a slow motion car crash.

mrmichaelwright, having seen the man in person in some of the finer dining establishments of Westminster, I can confirm that he likes his pies.

Watching fat people eat is strangely fascinating.

Stoner - yes, two different issues. But bound up in many ways... unfortunately. 🙁

Now, now, Stoner, you know full well that the demise of the current government is all the fault of the Conservatives. In fact, surely Thatcher is to blame? And, before I forget, everything in Scotland is perfect.

It's a bit like watching that video of the rolling rally car the other day, but in slow motion, and the car is full of ostriches, and every time it rolls another ostrich comes flying out, and as each ostrich hits the ground it starts whooshing like a catherine wheel, and all the orange penguins who are watching the crash come running out with brooms and try and put the ostriches out by hitting them with their brooms, but the brooms just catch fire and the penguins panic and start rolling around on the ground surrounded by exploding ostriches as the car rolls on and on spewing out ever more ostriches.

mrmichaelwright, I am deeply touched. 🙂

CFH - now now!

I don't think either Rudeboy of I could blame this on Thatcher - oh maybe - her grasping me first mentality affected them?

At least the Scottish parliament sorted out a similar expense scandal.

BD - still makes me spit my coffee out every time I read it

I was wondering why she might grasp you first....?

dominatrix fan are we TJ?

Coffee/Keyboard Interface Error. 🙂

Thank you Stoner, you put my point more eloquently than I.

Sorry Julian - you are wrong. Not one life has been saved by these drugs and never will be - they simply mean it takes you longer to die. If NICE says these drugs are inneffective thats good enough for me.

I wasn't suggesting that a life had been saved by these drugs, rather that it was wrong to allow people the option of taking something that may extend their life if they wished to pay for it.

I assume from your second sentence that you take the utterances of every official body as true then?

As for paying to study the side effects, you can't argue it both ways. If there are going to be side effects surely the person will have to live longer for them to become apparent? If they are going to die, do the side effects matter [i]that[/i] much?

This is on a different level, obviously, but paying for extra goes on elsewhere: I heard a story that only basic wheelchairs were handed out at a certain place, but if you were prepared to make up the [i]extra[/i] cost ON TOP OF THE BASIC PRICE you could have an upgrade.

Besides, life is two- (or more) tier - those who have money can have more things than those who don't. Simple.

And when Tony Blair came to power, he banged on relentlessly about ending sleaze in politics. 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

there are some real haters on here!

Well earned hate!

Ed Balls and the poison dwarf also have allowances questions over them, if our Glorious Leader appoints either of them (or retains them) his claims for cleaning out the Augean Stables at Westminster will not hold water.
It's horrendous and un-missable stuff.

Balls isn't happening as Chancellor, didn't he admit to regulation cock-ups whilst at the Treasury? Mandelson would spit feathers...

people want low taxes yet an infinately funded nhs

get real people

Yes, we get the fact you find it boring. Isn't it time for your afternoon nap?

Ah, but RudeBoy, think of the glee with which you would attack the topic were it to be a Conservative cabinet in this much of a cluster****!

cleaning out the Augean Stables

Perhaps he should divert the Thames through the House Of Commons?

can you imagine the amount of Claret and Brandy that would put into the sea? We'd have to have ABV% on fish and chips.

On an outgoing tide, please, would rather not have the stench over my part of the world.

That would make going for a swim a rather hazardous activity!

On another note, RB can be an incredibly boring tool sometimes, can't he...

RB can be an incredibly boring tool sometimes

quite the understatement.

[url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8078508.stm ]Former Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt is to stand down as an MP at the next election but has said the move has nothing to do with the expenses furore.

The Labour MP for Leicester West was health secretary during Tony Blair's latter years as PM. She said she wanted to spend more time with her family. [/url]

[i]The Daily Telegraph, which has obtained the details of all MPs' expenses for the past four years, has not published any details of Ms Hewitt's claims. [/i]
Yet......

This really is car crash politics.

Ive seen written somewhere that The Telegraph havent released anything on Patsy yet...could be fun tomorrow! 🙂

Do you think she registered her House as her primary residence and her caravan as her second home so she could get the tax payer to pay for pimpy net curtains, a gold plated porta-potty and a lifetime membership of the Caravan Club on expenses? 🙂

I have just murdered someone and will be leaving the country, but only because I want to, not to escape justice. I was going anyway...

The Fun only starts when they start on the Vicars/Tarts in the Other Place.
