Reply to: White Dee for Parliament

Why is she called White Dee?

I believe there is a Black Dee across the road. I have made a point about the capitalisation of the white and black, it should be white Dee but they have to pretend that it is a name and capitalise.

Why is she called White Dee? I don't watch the program but won't this be a problem if she lives in a racially diverse area?

She has been offered a four figure sum to pose naked for a lads mag. That isn't going to help her political career. Hopefully someone will double whatever the offer is for her not to do it though.

I've never seen the program but I read in an online tabloid that apparently there is also a Black Dee who is her non-white friend. As for going in a lads magazine, surely that is a plus point now. I mean look at some of the current female MPs, jungle thingy, diving thingy, dancing thingy, etc. so the more media exposure, particularly that which relates to the cretin class, can't be a bad thing...

Not a bad idea!

Maybe everybody should vote for whoever is their independent at the next election.

Individually we have little power, but collectively we could with wipe out every existing MP from westminster!

My guess is her name is Dee and she's white.

Well there are a couple of problems here...

She has criminal convictions for theft from a council already.

Saying all that I guess it won't matter as some people in Britain love a loser so she will get some misguided support. Not saying she shouldn't, anyone can have a go. Just says a lot about some of the voting public if she does get a look in.

Well, we wouldn't want MPs supported solely by private companies either would we.

We'll it works for the Americans..... Ah, wait, see your point.

I think you might want to re-read what I just said.

So existing MPs should be excluded unless they are independently wealthy then? As should anyone currently working in public service, so doctors, policemen, military, or anyone collecting a pension. Oh yes and anyone with children or anyone terminally ill would be ruled out too.

Doesn't make for a very representative house does it.

A candidate paid by taxpayers should have the same opportunity to enter the political affray as a candidate paid by a private company.

Should those on benefits be excluded from the political process?

MPs already sponge off taxpayers, it just mean one less claiming benefits

Of course, they share, like most that wake up one morning and decide to become a political minion, the same attributes and bias that make them the most unsuitable to represent the views of a democracy.

Thats what I thought. Is it going to come from benefits?

Where's she going to get the £500 deposit from?

It's a Labour seat so good luck to her. I'm sure she won't have too much trouble getting donations for the fee.

[KentPhilip]

I see she's going as an independent - no party will touch her.
