And another one bites the dust..... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/damian-green-resigns-quits-latest-deputy-prime-minister-theresa-may-pornography-a8121271.html

Just watching the news report about him.
Who next?
-
It was a long goodbye right enough: a more effective PM who wasn't being held to ransom by her own party would have been more decisive given the writing was on the wall long before now.
Tempted to say it doesn't inspire confidence in our Westminster government but that ship sailed long ago.

As long as it is filled with self-serving egotists it will ever be thus! All 650 of 'em and don't get me started on the Upper House!

Talk about sweeping generalisations!
Whilst I share a pessimistic view about some MP's to tar them all with the same brush is as silly as saying all pagans dance naked around the seven stones of Hodron Edge every full moon.

It also seems a bit unempirical. I've known two MPs quite well, and they were both scarily weird, however, I try not to generalize on that.

I agree. I have met our own MP when he paid a visit to our home some years ago. We had a long chat, he seemed like a decent bloke. He is still a serving MP, there has never been any dirt dredged up about him.

... yet ;)

Oh yes - that had slipped my mind. C'mon David do the right thing. Oops forgot he's a Tory.
On a totally different issue - does anyone else have problems with The Indy's website. Whatever I try to view it on it takes an age to load or freezes, or shuts down my phone screen. Is it just me?
-
No, I avoid the Indy website, it's very slow and jerky. I don't know whether their ads take so long to load or not.

So it might be but I have noted on more than one ocassion MP's elected supporting one point of viw and voting exactly the opposite in the House.
Or saying one thing and doing another.
A Minister of Transport who had never, ever, driven a motor vehicle or held a driving license, and a Chancellor of the Exchequer who admitted to his only experience of finance being as a clerk in the Tax Office and not even a good one at that.
Vatrious crooked deals involving expenses, some extremely doubtful moral turpitude . . . .
And that is only the ones who got caught - another thread here about covered up abuse of children . . .

Indeed. And it's almost certain that she had never driven a train or flown an aircraft or captained a ship, either. Totally unqualified in every respect.
Oh ... and another thing - nobody in the United Kingdom has ever held a driving "license".

Because it is sooo important that the minister of transport be a motorist. Personally, I'd be more concerned that they had travelled regularly by train (in standard class) or on the bus.
