Mother of Parliament or Parliament of Mother --s?
The TV pictures of the pathetic disarray in the House of Commons, beamed around the world today, irreparably damages our Monarchy, our Constitution and our standing in world affairs. The ugly ignoramus who could not even read the apology that had been drafted by his corrupt minders and who manifestly displayed his complete ignorance of the procedures that he is employed to administer and invigilate, has presided over and indulged himself in almost a decade of venality that makes Sir Robert Walpole look straight by comparison. The Queen should act, not with a nod and a wink, but by firmly demanding Gordon Brown's resignation, then she should prorogue (and de-rogue) Parliament and call an election. If he refuses, she must call upon the Head of the Armed Services, Sir Jock Stirrup, and the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis, Sir Paul Stephenson, to arrest Brown and detain him. They should then organise a general election with the assistance of all the senior civil service mandarins. All the MPs (and the Speaker) exposed as corrupt and venal should be arrested, charged and remanded in custody until after the election. Failing this, the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail should collaborate in organising the biggest demonstration over convened in this country to march first the Palace of Westminster, then Buckingham Palace, demanding a general election. Moreover, I want my money back you thieving bastards!

Isn't the English language a wondrous thing: that something can be at once shameful and shameless.....
You do realise, of course, that under the current rules, every MP who gets booted out gets a £42,000 "redundancy" payment... and that, unlike anyone else's, theirs is entirely tax free.
And they wonder why we're pissed off?
Michael Martin is s Womble. But regardless of the role he and the Fees Office have played in this, it all comes back to Gordon Brown.
His consistent strategy as Chancellor was to avoid direct, transparent, comprehensible taxation and instead hide it as indirect taxation, increases in duty and national insurance, reductions in allowance bands, and so on.
He has applied the same approach to MPs' salaries: knowing that the public would not wear the kind of pay-rise MPs were drooling for, he has connived at a system where the 'headline figure' is capped, and MPs have, we are told, been promised that it will be 'made good' in the form of "expenses" and "allowances".
He is clearly a serial twister, incapable of tackling any potentially unpopular issue in a straightforward, honest and open way.
He's got to go.
Stand by for for a wave of hypocrisy, general o/o and msm generated public sympathy as the first of the Scotia Nostra falls on his sword. Gordon the Godfether will be more difficult to oust, but that just means that we must try the harder.
My word, young Mylene over on the right there is looking particularly fetching this evening.
As I fumbled my way through the interweb to get here, I noticed Cuirthe's cry of impotent rage some while back anent the Sun and Alfie the Midget Progenitor, or "that little fucker" as we used to say when I was at school- I attach below;
"Well, at least the question posed by the title of this post has now, at length, been answered. What it's about, Alfie, is circulation figures.
Now, I'm certainly not one to suggest that The Sun should have access to anyone's DNA profile, let alone that of an alleged 12-year-old father... but in the absence of proof of parenthood, what the juvenile fuck were they doing running it as a front-page story?
No doubt they will claim "public interest", making the customary reptilian argument that 'anything of interest to the public is in the public interest'."
Well, bugger me crouching if it hasn't emerged in the popular prints today that the little fucker had nothing to do with it.
Trapped by his DNA, yer knaa...ironical, what?
Still, this is all somewhat off piste.
Frank, I cannot begin to tell you the pleasure I have derived sitting out here in the sandpit reading about the 24 carat crass cupidity of the Hon Members of the Mother of Parliaments (The Envy of the World, by the way.)
The only thing that has given me greater pleasure was reading Yasmin Alibhai Brown (some relation, probably) lamenting how let down she felt by some of the rogues being black or Asian, as she felt they of all people should know better.
Well, I think white middle class graduates should know better too, but I would get short shrift if I tried to get a national newspaper, even one as flatulent as The Independent, to print such a cri de coeur. They would be round to rip my Union Flag off the garage before you could say Idi Amin wasn't the worst, so he wasn't....
And another thing... even with the mob stoking the tar and dragging the second-best pillows off the top of the wardrobe, El Gordo can't resist using his press conference to imply that the whole problem with parliament is rooted in some outdated, class-ridden institution "like a 19th century gentlemen's club'.
No, Gordon, with you and your like in it, parliament is "like a 19th century gentlemen's club", but in the 21st century and without the gentlemen or the gentlemanly behaviour. Your sweaty, scuttling profiteers couldn't begin to aspire to the ethical code of a gentlemen's club.
Arse.
Idi Amin - what a good Speaker he would have made - with his Scottish connections 'n' all.
[with apologies to the late Alan Coren..]
Let's face it, dis de bottom line: dere's nuffin' like a four-foot gole mace for really gettin some serious agreement goin' in de chamber.
Wat I failin' to understand are, why dese MPs gettin' any expenses in de firs' place. Why don't they jus' follow de estabberlished procedure an' beat some cash out o' dere constituents like de res' of us?
Where Gordon goin' wrong is lettin' go o' de keys to Nummer Eleven in de firs' place. If you got de PM by the ever-popular wallet, de res' bound to follow. Hearts an' minds, Gordon, hearts an' minds.
I available at extremely reasonable consultin' rates, by de way. Jus' email me at idiamin.phd.vc@presidente.ug
Dis de twenty-firs' century, after all.

Excellent skit! Heh,heh, heh.
we have some real gems on this side of the pond, should you decide you'd like them. we have Nancy "oh shit, I did know about waterboarding before I didn't know about it" Pelosi, Barack "about that transparency thing I mentioned during my campaign" O'Bama, Joe "someone stole my brain" Biden, and Hillary "I love cuntry music" Clinton. Assorted others if you'd like - all fleecing the taxpayers. A bunch of fucks, really.
Yeah, we noticed!
OK - I know that, as Tom Lehrer said when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize, "satire is dead"... but what is one to say about the elections?
The morons who voted BNP are clearly beyond redemption, but it's the UKIP voters who boggle the rational mind: nothing a UKIP MEP can do in Brussels will have any effect on whether Britain stays in the EU or not.
That decision would have to be taken in and by the Commons, where they have... no MPs. They claimed to have a UKIP MP after one Spink-Nottle went AWOL from the Tories, but apparently he has since repudiated his membership.
