It would seem that justice has been done. These dishonorable “fat cat” members had their snouts in the trough for too long and got fat at our expense . No sympathy for either of them from me. As far as I can see they got their “just desserts”.

I strongly agree with “Derek of Dorchester” who commented on the Mail-Online article and made the following observation…..

“There is now sufficient (and ever-mounting) prima facie evidence of massive financial wrong-doing in the Palace of Westminster for HMRC to launch in-depth tax investigations of all who have served as “Hon. Members” in recent years. HMRC have more power than the Courts to investigate, and can declare people guilty upon a lower standard of proof, before demanding payment of tax, with interest, and imposing penalties of several times the amounts wrongfully withheld. What are they waiting for?”

MPs’ expenses: Eric Illsley jailed for a year and Jim Devine found guilty | Mail Online.

This is total bollocks.

I can’t even get a non-emergency appointment to see a doctor when I’m stood in my doctors surgery. I’m told to call up on the day I would like to be seen !!!

If this is the sort of service I get now just how much better do you think it will be if I have to ring NHS Direct ?

Well I’ll tell you….. It will be 10,000 % worse.

This will be as good as all those other centralised call centre operations that we already have to deal with.

It stinks.

Call NHS Direct to book GP appointments, patients to be told – Telegraph.

Once again we prepare to kowtow to the faceless bureaucrats, of the EU & The European Court of Human Rights, who dictate to us how we should behave. Slowly but surely our national identity and our nations right to self-determination is being eroded.

The criminals that inhabit our prisons carried out crimes on British soil so it should be British courts and the British Government that decide their punishment.

Equally, it should be up to us the British people, through our duly elected representatives that decide if these criminals can have the vote.

My view is that they jettisoned their rights when they broke the law. By breaking the law they effectively stuck a finger up at normal decent law-abiding folk. So they don’t have the right to vote.

Given all the other problems that this country has, I do not believe that we should be wasting time  and funds debating this.

Its time for Ken Clarke to stand up and tell the EU to butt out

Prisoners will get the vote, Kenneth Clarke says – Telegraph.

When will the message get through to all users of todays technology with particular emphasis on blogs and Twitter……

If you publish anything on the internet it is almost a given that it becomes public property.

If you don’t want anyone to know what you are thinking don’t put it into your blog. Don’t tweet it.  I think civil servant, Sarah Baskerville, has finally taken that message on board.

Twitter messages not private, rules press watchdog – Telegraph.

Wow

That’s all I can say. Just saw this on the news this evening. This lady deserves a medal but in this addled country of ours she is more likely to be prosecuted for assault.

It’s a shame there aren’t more like her in this country.

Hero granny stops thief

6.55PM   Mon Feb 7 2011

A fearless granny has been branded a hero after attacking a gang of jewel-thieves with her handbag.

The incident in Northampton was caught on camera by a passer-by.

One robber was floored by the efforts of the elderly lady and held down by members of the public until police arrived.

Three other men were arrested later.
