Heads you win, tails I lose.

Posted on 10:15am Thursday 25th June 2009

The new speaker said the majority of members in Westminster are not there to feather their own nests. Every one of them, including the worst offenders, clapped with gusto. IF there are any who aren't, they are complicit by knowing about it and keeping quiet.
