Good riddance !

Retro. Some use custard instead of chocolate. As long as no one is watching.

Sqad...I was trying to finish off my cup of tea when I read that, and now I have to find another clean shirt !

Silver snorers are on the increase too

on the contrary, the older we get, the less we sleep

I'd heard the expression 'coked off his ***' before but never realised it was 'a thing'. :-)

Togo
Thanks. I'll surprise the wife tonight!! :-)

[douglas9401]

*** rhymes with bits

Mikey, should that have read as it should be in the house of commons.

[-Talbot-]

make ? ///

On the contrary, I think I have succeeded admirable, judging by your response.

/// His political affiliations are completely irrelevant to this issue. He was a Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, a neutral role, as it is in the House of
Commons. ///

Strange, for the fact that had he been a member of the Tory Party or UKIP you would have been shouting it from the rooftops.

I am off to work now boys and girls...enjoy your day !

You've got it or you haven't.

Just before I go AOG....what on earth are you on about ?

I started this thread, and I was aware that Sewel is a Labour Peer, but I have still brought to everybody's attention !

Not "shouting it from the rooftops " perhaps but I am condemning him all the same. So what is the point of your last comment ?

And I promise that when we have another case like this, I shall do the same, not matter what political party the offended is part of.

Off topic now mikey. Are you you thinking of entering a team in the AB fantasy football league. See lie inkings link. Just don't pick 11 left wingers or you have no chance.[*!=]

The story was published over here this morning.

Gawd, he obviously has a taste for the cheaper working girls.

Along with other substances ;-)

[Svejk]

The BBC called him a tory peer so all the usual suspects queued up to 'put the boot in'. Now that it's clear he's a labour peer, despite initial denials here, 'it doesn't matter which party he comes from' is the new claim.
All this on top of the farcical labour leadership contest. Lol, you'd need a heart of stone not to laugh.

[fiction-factory]

I don't think he was voted in, jordy- Tony Blair have him a Scottish Baronship (or whatever the word is) as a reward for services

[ummmm]

Does having sex with prostitutes affect how you do your job?

And if Mikey thinks that no teachers or GPs have ever used substances then I think that is pretty naive.

One always hears that our Politicians and our Lords should represent as much as possible the feelings of the "common man." Politicians in particular are criticised for leaving University and going straight into Politics, not experiencing life as we think that we know it....the life of the "common man."

We hear that the Lords should represent a cross section of community............ some elected, others non elected and of course, the "common man" (the Pork butcher from Dewsbury, the NHS porter from Barnsley)

So let me tell you about the "common man".......he often wears women's underwear, he often visits prostitutes, he may take hard drugs and when a Lord adheres to what many people are demanding of our Politicians, there is a mad rush to the high moral ground.

So......what do you want of our Politicians?
