or in excess of Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 To hear Labour luvvie Barry Sheerman on the news singing David Chaytor`s praises, you would have thought he was the new messiah. Absolutely sickening. What Chaytor did was indefensible, and i hope the people of Huddersfield remember what Sheerman said come the next election. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bear Monger Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 What did he say? Video How anyone can defend this man beggars belief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
or in excess of Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) What did he say? He said anyone who knew him, would know what a fine, upstanding fellow he was, and that if a list was compiled for likely suspects to carry out this fraud, he would NOT be on it. This really has wound me up more than the offence itself. I`m going for a lie down. Edited January 8, 2011 by or in excess of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gone baby gone Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Caught this on the 10 o'clock news. Lots' of MPs talking about Chaytor's integrity; what a great guy with such high levels on integrity Don't they understand he has been found guilty in a court of law of claiming £20k worth of false expenses? Makes them all look a bit easily led, and like people who judge things superficially, although after the Iraq war, and the dodgy dossier, I'm not really surprised.

lie to bet Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 It should have been 18 years not 18 months. The rest of them think this has all gone away. They need to be reminded of it every time they voice any opinion, since they are all tainted by this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Democorruptcy Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 What did he say? He implied the House of Commons is full of liars, cheats and thieves because Chaytor would not make the list of MPs that you would expect to be involved in corruption. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saying round my way "If you you sit near shit you smell of shit" Gobsmacked that anyone could be found to comment. If i was one of his family I'd wish a big hole would open up so I could disappear. Just goes to show that MPs still have no idea what the general public think of them. They are lowlife and I'm looking forward to the next time one knocks on my door.

Si1 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 the tories were in similar dissarray in 1997 , refusing to believe they had legitimately been dumped from power. Until and unless Labour understand their own corruption they will be unelectable for a similar period of time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not going to happen - Huddersfield is one of those northern constituencies where the idiot electorate would vote for a turd with a red rosette. Sheerman has more votes than the other candidates put together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diver Dan Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Westminster needs to be cleared out regularly. One of the main problems as I see it is that there are too many long-standing MPs who get re-elected to safe seats election after election. I'm of the opinion that MPs should have a 2 term limit and then have to step down at the next GE for a period of at least 5 years. You could possibly allow them to run for a third term if the MP has reached the level of senior cabinet minister at the end of his second term. Having a 5+ year break would allow the MP to see how the world actually works. I.e. you have to pay for your house and travel out of your wages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahBell Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 . Until and unless Labour understand their own corruption they will be unelectable for a similar period of time. We have a good test coming up with the Oldham by-election. I suspect Labour will win it but it'll be very close again. It'll be the tuition fees that have done it for libdems.

It'll be the tuition fees that have done it for libdems. maybe the bnp will win it. didint the bnp have 5 councillors there at one time on the council, the official opposition.
