There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Now you've completely lost me.

Yes I do. I lived in Scotland for a couple of years.
Boothroyd came from Dewsbury, you know, Shannon Mathews country. Not exactley salubrious. I'm still lost on your point though.

Naturally, I do not know who most of the candidate speakers from the poll are.
Just posting here to say that I am fascinated by recent events in Britain. This time, it's serious. The British electorate means business. Exciting times!
(Do they by any chance have a handful of inconsequential vagabonds and drunks locked up in a small prison tower in London somewhere? About to be freed by a pitchfork-armed mob?)
Aren't they? And they certainly put paid to recurrent British whining about corruption, absenteeism and the expenses culture in France or Brussels. Makes one wonder how the British public will react? Will they chop off some heads (the French way) or elect a brute to do the chopping for them (the German way)?Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat
In the background of all of this, I hear the constant drumroll of forces affirming that democracy is a shambles and that there is an alternative, that we deserve better.

So, with Mr. Martin being sacrificed, is this the end of it? Or just the start of inquiries, inspections and investigations? And will/would those i,i & i's thwart the House's ability to do its normal business?
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Not the end by a long chalk. People are furious at being bilked by our elected representatives. Combined with the general ineptitude and incompetence of our present government, the people are in no mood to be lectured to by these no marks.
I expect that the three main parties will take a hammering in the EUSSR elections in June. I also suspect that come the general election there will be an awful lot of independent Mps in parliament.

the end of it will come after the next general election, which will be a bloodbath for those perceived to be at the forefront of the sleaze.

I thought the convention was debated? --> something like the ruling party had always appointed the speaker, but it happened that each time the speaker changed, the parties changed.
I didn't vote on poll, as I have no idea who is best suited to the role - although Menzies Campbell presumably ruled himself out with the expenses thing, and IMO it should be a conservative, just to even it out a bit.
