Sunak says one of the reasons for giving Mohamed Mansour a K/hood is because of his services to charities. Didn't know the conservative party were a registered charity?

I.do have a master plan.

Put them all up for election. The ones that haven't turned up for work for the last few years (Michelle mone et al) can chuff off and stop fleecing the tax payers.

the ones who don't turn up don't get paid so they are hardly "fleecing the taxpayers"!

PP – so except for a twist of fate  , you could have been our current Prime Minister.

indeed a twist of bitter bitter fate. 

fata mihi, Caesar, tum erunt mea dulcia quom tu maxima 

the Latin poem we found in Egypt - "my fate will be sweet to me when you have ( earned the greater part of history)"....

round about now ( Easter) in 1978.

You're happy for the Lords that don't bother to turn up for work, or to get a couple of hours kip to carry on as they are then? Fair enough.

there are (I've heard it whispered) ones who turn up long enough to claim their attandance fee, and promptly leave again.

tomus42 - who said I was happy about it? I think the whole lot need clearing out. I was simply refuting the erroneous assertion that those who don't turn up are fleecing the taxpayers!

Fair enough!
