HOLD ON - HOLD ON ---

I reckon its GREAT !! -- I mean, at least you know where to look for all the criminals, don't you? There all in the Big House -- and when they are really naughty or caught with their hands in the till, ( ACA's ) , -- well, they are sent to the BIGGER HOUSE in Brussels !!!

And i feel sorry for the likes of us, who if we want info on it, they vote a special clause into the FOI act - and if you complain, they make it "legal" -- and if you actually start winning - they make up ANOTHER law to silence you, and then bring in ANOTHER law to tax you for it as well !!

AND STILL YOU VOTE FOR THEM !!!!

IT'S GREAT !! -- YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP !!!

Mr Aitken should stay out of the public eye ,then again look at meddlesome. mortgage fraud, a false passport for a illegal immigrant and he gets a promotion.

IS THIS A JOKE?

11.11.07, 6:34am

We all know that politicians have difficulties with such simple things as being entirely truthful and savvy to the ways of the World.
But recruiting an ex con come MP guilty of calculated perjury with a spell at one of HM's Select Guesthouses for his sins is not the way allegedly responsible people act, is it?
Still I guess he will be happy back amongst old friends and acquaintances
It has got to be a wind up surely! !

TORIES CALLING ON THE SERVICES OF AN OLD LAG

11.11.07, 3:55am

Its nice to see the "old boys networking" in the Tory party. I would have thought...Cameron would do better distancing himself and the Tories from the likes of Jonathan Aitken....even more so in todays climate of distrust and lack of confidence in politics...and here we have the Tories calling on the services of an old lag....
