MPs and the next big con

I'm indebted to the Daily Mash for putting this story into better words than I ever could.

Safe standing - Labour loathes listening

Its almost impossible to count the ways that Sutcliffe has missed the point. he has ignored the wishes of those supporters who simply wish to stand at football matches; he uses a safety argument, but not necessarily the safest - that might include adding seatbelts to chairs!; he has sucked up to the money men as Labour seem prone to doing.

Still, its not a fight that they can win.

The Torch

Konnie Huq: "The Olympic ethos is a great thing, it's just a shame China has such a terrible track record when it comes to human rights."

Thats ok then. You tell em Konnie.

Relatively speaking

Kind of ironic that whilst recipients of Direct Payments are not allowed to employ relatives, even though every penny has to be accounted for, our sleaze ridden MPs can use their income to employ any family member on any spurious activity without proper accounting practises.

Great eh?

Turkey of 2007

The name escapes me, but a BBC documentary a few months back featured a guy with a disability who, aided by his parents, books trips to Spain to visit prostitutes.

But its not him who gets the award. I give it to his parents. It seemed that they rather foolishly believe that this is somehow an act of supporting independent living. That by travelling with him to Spain and getting him 'ready' to see prostitutes, they are somehow 'right on' and forward looking.

In my view the parents should be actively encouraging the guy to get out and mix within his own community. Perhaps they should even be loking into exploring the possibilities of independent living.

Once hes made that step then it will be up to him who he sleeps with.

Hypocritical Labour

How much more hypocrisy will the public stomach from this Government? Not content with supporting a Tory Private Members Bill bill which will rather coveniently allow them not to reveal their overblown expense accounts, they now want to introduce yet another clampdown on the people of this country by giving the police even more power than they need.

All of this under the guise of protecting us from those nasty terrorists.

Labour are attacking your freedom and mine. Its time to vote them out.
