Bye-bye Mike!
The Jerk has kept silent these last few weeks. I’ve been waiting to reserve judgement about this expenses row before I let rip into my usual rhetoric. The more this unfolds the more saddened and disappointed I am by the greed of those people in Westminster. True, they have only got to their level of government by their own ruthlessness and greed, but are there no one left in politics that has a moral fibre left? It is not too much to ask that a person in a position of power realise that what they’re inputting onto the monthly expenses form might not actually form part of their job?
I don’t really know where to go with this, because you all feel the same as I do. What’s the point in commenting on an issue that has the general consensus that it is all a bit unfair?
What must be brought up is these scoundrels are still looking for a scapegoat. Poor old Mikey-boy has done exactly what is expected of him – to uphold the integrity of the house and protect the interests of all parties. It’s a bit difficult when the house has no integrity so he can hardly be blamed. Still, once he has gone for good, where is this Obama-style replacement coming from? Who is whiter-than-white in the parties that is willing to reform the system?
One of the Millibands? - Too young.
“Ming” – potentially too many skeletons.
Cormack? - Too traditionalist and scary.
Ann Widdecombe – Really does not have the voice.
Ken Clarke – far too Tory to be unbiased.
So here’s my solution – forget the speaker of the house having any allegiance and hire Shami Chakrabarti. Besides from the Jerk being a little bit in love with her, she really would call the bluff of those calling for “radical change” and would tear the house down.
Forget this suddenly “new” tagline of “Vote for Change” (how original, Dave) – and “Vote for Shami!”
