RATS THAT HAVEN’T LEFT THE NEST ….

And you should see yesterday’s headline.  Worse yet because the thieving so and soz have refused the PMs order to return monies.
They say no way Jose.

Just about when I thought things were more or less settled with regard to the dishonest representatives of the people themselves, the Telegraph has opened fire again with banner headlines raking over not just old coals but they have apparently discovered some new scams by MPs.

Oh yeah, and the former speaker, Michael Martin, who was forced to resign but has friends in high places, has been made a “Labour Peer.” A people’s peer the lefties like to say. What it means is that a disgraced speaker now comes back to draw a salary PLUS perks. And all he has to do is show up and sign in. There isn’t any sign out I am informed so he can do as quite a number do.  Come in for a chat with friends and leave for the day. He’ll still be paid and boy he’ll be paid well. 

None of us here at BMEWS are members of Mr. O’s fan club BUT I bet even back home neither he nor almost anyone else (ok, that old bastard Robert Byrd comes to mind) would even dream of getting away with the things the Brit MPs do.  Or am I being naive?

Meanwhile, the wife and I have just today written out another check for house deed and have been reading the lawyers instructions for our signatures
which must be sent back. We’ve been stressed all day but alls well. There’s gonna be a mail strike and we don’t trust the mail so a friend is driving me to Southampton tomorrow morning where I will hand deliver the papers. Whew. 

Don’t have a clue yet how we are gonna work out getting back home.  Sell this place first I guess. When we can and of course once out of probate.
Then what?  Maybe back to warm climes like So Calif desert which we loved but may no longer be able to afford?  And live someplace while looking for something permanent.  ???  Decisions - decisions.  But FIRST ....

Gotta see if they’ll let her back into the states.  Oh Boy!

Another thing to consider ...  LYNDON.  Will they let me back in on my visa if I have to return for legal and or banking reasons?
I paid for the darn thing but don’t know if I can come and go at leisure.  Any ideas?

So then, Today’s Morning Headline.  My scanner not really big enought. Will correct with next one I buy.
The full headline reads as follows.

MP PAYS £100,000 TO THE COMPANY HE OWNS WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND

One the things that are so damn pathetic about this continuing scandal, is that many of these shysters are already millionaires. In fact, one is a BILLIONAIRE and even he fiddled and cheated the taxpayer.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
