PART TWO, THE SCREWING OF THE TAXPAYER but NO FOREPLAY.

 

1. > Does that say something about the state of order dis-order here?

   Tons.

   And as to politicians bilking the system and misusing the taxes they were supposed to be good stewards of:  It’s not like they’re going to willingly subject themselves to the same laws they write, they view themselves as above the plebeians.  They have to be scared of the people.  If they aren’t scared of them, they’ll walk all over them, each and every time.

   Short of guillotines on the lawn of Parliament Hill being used to execute a few of the politicians who egregiously abused the public trust as a way to encourage the rest to be forthright and honest in the remaining days in office, and to demonstrate to them, without doubt, that the people are only willing to be pushed so far, I don’t really have a good solution for you.

2. What infuriates me even more is them repeating the mantra “it was all within the rules” The rules that is that they made. It is not a party issue either. Both sides of the House are at it and they fought tooth and nail to prevent the publication of these outrages. They even passed a law making the revelations sufficiently diluted that it would not have been possible to expose the true extent of their thieving. I have never seen anything like it in my lifetime. The level of public fury at this is tangible. Hopefully it will lead to an election to kick Labour out once and for all. Hopefully the incoming administration will start an investigation into tax evasion and outright stealing these scoundrels have indulged in. Argentium I’m not sure about guillotine a bit to Fwench for my tastes. Piano wire and lamposts would be more in keeping.
