Why Laws Must GO NOW!!!

We are not going to pass comment on David Laws sexuality.

We are not even going to pass comment as to whether we think that David Laws has cost the taxpayer more or less money by claiming for his accomodation, the way that he has.

We are not even going to pass comment on the Liberal Democrats Election Campaign against the Parliamentary expenses scandal.

What we will pass comment on however, is the way in which Laws is wriggling to attempt to save his political skin.

'But the rules remain unambiguous: MPs are forbidden from "leasing accommodation from a partner". Laws's defence currently relies on a highly technical definition of partner that may not satisfy either parliament or the media.

In his statement last night he said: "Although we were living together we did not treat each other as spouses. For example we do not share bank accounts and indeed have separate social lives." '

(New Statesman 29th May 2010)

Sorry David, your story seems too far fetched. Some of us lived with our spouses and also did not share bank accounts and generally had separate social lives, especially when working in the media or politics.

You should do the honourable thing and say, you made a mistake and for the sake of your Party and the Coalition you resign immediately.

When will the day come when politicians will start thinking about others instead of themselves?

Has UKIPs Leader Resigned?

We must add, this is only supposition at the moment.

The rumour doing the rounds is that Lord Pearson has resigned his leadership of UKIP and is hiding at Rannock on his Perthshire Estate, hoping no doubt, to be able to hide in a cloud of volcanic ash and not be able to fly back.

If this is the case, the difficulty is, who will replace him?

It may prove difficult for Farage to return as everyone realises that the policy of trying to help the Tories at the General Election was his - a repeat of the battle he had with Natrass and others at the previous General Election. (He may also not wish to be tainted should UKIP declare Bankruptcy after the Appeal hearing next month) but he must still control the Party. They surely would not want an election at this stage in case the wrong person wins.

We believe, that as Deputy Leader, Farage sock-puppet (No. 2) David Bannerman will be annointed as caretaker. If the ship sinks, he will be seen to have been at the helm. If successful, they may keep him in post, or more likely front someone more appealing and charismatic as Leader next year.

Either way, no real change at the top.
