    I'm now tempted to believe that it was a set-up by Labour !!

    In other words the punters would be presumed guilty and would have to prove their innocence.

    It struck me the other day. Trafficked women also get roped into acting in porn films don't they? So shouldn't the home secretary and her husband be arrested and held in custody until we can be sure none of the women in the porn they were watching (at our expense!) had not been trafficked? Better safe than sorry.
    And definately held "under anti-Terrorism legislation". After all, don't get keep getting told that the proceeds of crime go to fund terrorist activities

    b) Whether there is any hypocracy - did he publicly oppose those kind of actions. I know John Major had his Back to Basics campaign at the time, but I don't know how what this MP (Steven Milligan) had to say about this at the time.


    I couldn't care less what MP's get up to in private as long as it doesn't affect the public and there is no hypocracy


    So I do take issue with
    a) John Major having an affair while issuing his Back to Basics campaign.
    b) John Prescott being chief prosecutor on Tory sleaze, while busily banging his secretary.
    c) Jackie Smith claiming expenses clearly unrelated to her work as an MP (porno films).

    etc.
    etc.

    But unless anyone can shed any light on the Stephen Milligan incident (e.g. he charged the stockings to his expense account), his actions rate well below all of these...
    I think we are supposed to do as they say : not as they do.

    Revealed: e-mails that toppled key Brown aide

    Nobody can believe another word that comes out of that party.

    I wonder how Brown's moral compass is spinning these days?

    Brown: Not a word, not a word, not a word now. Quiet, uh, Donations. You want me to make a donation to the public sector pension fund.

    ContractorUK poster: Brown, I'm from the future. I came here in a time machine that you invented. Now I need your help to get back to the year...1997.

    started a topic The rotting stench of downing street

    The rotting stench of downing street

    So one of GB's most senior aides is forced to resign following a leaked smear campaign:

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle6077061.ece

    This came right out of number 10. The suggestion by the labour lackey dolly draper that no-one else was involved is frankly ridiculous. That no-one else was expected to read it is also ridiculous. Currently the party and blogging faithful are trying to save Tom Watson and keep Gordon out of it, despite the fact that they attempted to save McBride first thing this morning.

    Fourth term anyone?

Working...
