Chris Huhne - will he do time ?

[hyperD]

There is good in the world and well meaning people.

I've always liked the liberals and they've had a lot of votes from me ; it's really got me down that the crooks rise to power even in this org.

Well Scoobos, you're an idiot.

Why do you pin your hopes in the aspirations of the yellow team, or the red team. And yet, you still throw the knee-jerk, ingrained Guardianista jibes against the blue team, as is want of those that are inherently partisan. Because the blue team is awashed with the same self-serving balm of temptation as the rest.

Once our so called "servants" enter the belly of the beast, they all descend to the same path of corruption. It is a tainted hallow, and it is prolonged by people like you that are distracted and try to disseminate a difference between those that wave a different coloured flag.

The very nature of politics is a wallowing soup of self serving corruption. By wasting your time in trying to justify one party over another just shows your lack of understanding of how the real world works.

Bien pensants such as yourself are the main problems why this scourge still reigns over us.

Don't look at ways to pity them, reject them all, for all the misery that they inflict upon our selves, and realise what they do.

I've had a pig.

While I've explicitly stated to Mr C that I'd squeal if the same thing happened in our household, I think that this instance had nothing to do with cowardice.

It's not cowardice. She has plenty of personal gain at the time, protecting his job/income. She made a calculated move.

That said, I agree that he was a bit daft (ok, extremely daft) to underestimate what women do when scorned.

Can't say I pity either side here. They were a pretty good match. Shame it didn't last.

There are large numbers of young people mostly male who are in and out of trouble in this country. they come from single parent families and or families that are unlikely to have a member who has worked. they have underacheieved at school and have little prospects of jobs.

Some of these youngsters are being recruited and trained (in my opinion considering their backgrounds) very well. To sell door to door. It is hard work and requires them to be managed with ruthless determination. They often fight with other gangs who dare to invade their sales pitches. So who is going to solve the problems:

1. The average Tory will ignore them and say that they should chuck them in prison.
2. Your leftie liberal will throw more and more money at them, thus keeping them trapped where they are. They will give out lenient prison sentences and employ large numbers of people to counsel them. Above all they will smugly be able to pat these people on the head and expect gratitude. They will feel virtuous and generally good about themselves, and populate the political on line forums with their self righteous bulls**t
3. The gangmaster sorts out the problem.

Please do not tell me that there is a lot of good coming from well meaning people.

This is a massive blow though , I've always liked the liberals and they've had a lot of votes from me ; it's really got me down that the crooks rise to power even in this org.

They're the most duplicitous, back-stabbing, double-standards keeping bunch of the lot. Look at how many of them keep getting "found out" as a % of sitting MPs.

I moved from Winchester (Mark Oaten) to Eastleigh (Chris Huhne) last year. I know as much as I need to about the Lib Dems thank you very much.

My assumption is "They're all as bad as each other".

I have no idea whether I'm factually correct in this assumption, but I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in it.

Back in the 80s you had one nation Tories who had already made a fortune in business and entered government to do something for the country.
No you have politicians of all stripes who enter politics to make contacts for themselves that they can parlay into money when they leave politics.

If they are as bad as each other then what does it say about the rest of us? Answer - our indolence makes us are worse by letting them get away with it

Indeed. Every time the turkeys have a chance to change something they keep voting for the same old Christmas.

Every nation gets the government it deserves.
