Funny and informative piece in the Telegraph.

Gromit, not sure if it's funny, sharp, and to the point, just goes to show why people have lost faith in their politicians, crooks and charlatans.

If that is all true she's in the right job . They can compare notes and next time try not to get caught.
I see that so called donation was a few surplus plants from her garden .

Just goes to disprove that widely held myth that Labour is the party for the working classes.

Perhaps it was at the time of it's formation, but now it seems that most of them are in it simply for their own benefit.

We know that the present coalition Government isn't ideal, far from it, but hopefully at the next election before some voters vote them in again, one hopes that they won't forget the 13 years that Labour were in power, along with their inability to control their spending, the criminal expense's claims and their disastrous mass immigration policy.

People haven't thought that for 40 years. It was the working class who continued to Vote for Margaret Thatcher. Blair got elected by abandoning the working class and courting the middle class.

Unfortunately, that wasn't just confined to the Labour. Are you coneniently forgetting the pair of Conservative Peers who spent time at her majestys pleasure?

[anotheoldgit]

Blimey Gromit, don't you ever sleep, are you trying to imitate those two great leaders Churchill and Thatcher?

/// Are you coneniently forgetting the pair of Conservative Peers who spent time at her majestys pleasure? ///

No I am not, I know some Tories also made unlawful claims, but I think they were in the minority compared to Labour.

[Gromit]

Yes they were in the minority. Which is why Labour were in Government.
