Troughers Don't Learn

Vomit inducing doesn't come close to describing the Dispatches prog on C4.

You are all vile, pitiful excuses for human beings.

Just fuck off and do one decent thing in your miserable greed ridden lives for once.

Following the scandal surrounding MPs' expenses, Dispatches delves into the mostly unregulated world of political lobbying. The programme reveals how politicians are offering to help companies and lobby the government for salaries of up to £5,000 a day.
Journalist Antony Barnett leads an undercover investigation which examines:
- How senior politicians are seeking to trade on their Westminster connections to earn money from lucrative positions in the private sector.
- Whether the regulations safeguarding the public interest in this regard are both adequate and effective.

They all deny any wrongdoing, but to me, it seems that they admit to lying in the interview for the job, which would appear to be an admission that they attempted to gain a pecuniary advantage by deception. Something for which, ordinary mortals would normally be prosecuted.

Operation Fightback

Gordon is on the warpath:

After nearly 13 years in Government, Labour is telling its activists that they should not use the party’s achievements in power when seeking votes at the election.

At a pre-election rally in the West Midlands, Mr Brown will warn his party to frame the election not as a chance to pass judgement on the Labour Government.

Instead, he will attack the Conservatives, as the party admitted in a leaflet for candidates that voters are attracted to David Cameron’s message of change

Shame You couldn't have come up with a slogan of your own Gordon. The BNP are already using that one here.

Gordon Brown Fans.

A teacher asked her class how many of them were Gordon Brown fans.

Not really knowing what a Brown fan is, but wanting to be liked by
the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little
Johnny..

The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be
different...again.

Little Johnny said, 'Because I'm not a Brown fan.'

The teacher asked, 'Why aren't you a Brown fan?'

Johnny said, 'Because I'm a Conservative.'

The teacher asked him why he's a Conservative.

Little Johnny answered, 'Well, my Mom's a Conservative and my Dad's a
Conservative, so, I'm a Conservative.'

Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your mom was a moron
and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?'

With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, 'A Gordon Brown fan.'
