Another Great Day in the UK

Well what have we today. Another normal day in the "mother of paliaments". Our esteemed Prime Minister has to repay almost £12.5k he claimed for cleaning and gardening. That's 12 thousand pounds. A lot of people in this country hardly earn that in wages a year. Clegg (you may not know this nonentity, he is the 'leader' of the Lib Dems) has to pay back almost a grand for the same. Cameron is being asked for clarification on mortgage payments he claimed for.

Then the ex-home Secretary Jacqui Smith "apologises" to the House of Commons for a little local difficulty with her expenses. She designated her sister's house in London, which she shares, as her main home and then claimed second home allowances on her family home. And there was the fun with her hubby's porn film. No repayment of the money, and the apology seemed more like a child shouting "It's not fair".......with a rubbish little ditty about not being able to work for her constituents because of it all. She won't have to worry about that after May next year.

And finally they wish to sell off the last of the family silver (including the Tote, Dartford Crossing and the Channel Rail Link) for raise £16 billion. That sounds impressive doesn't it. Unfortunately that will pay off about one month of our debts.

And these clowns wonder why the public don't trust them. They are a disgrace.

Tonight's music is Sabotage by the Beastie Boys. A far cry from their early stuff and all the better for it.
