Yesterday (Sunday 13 June 2010) it came out in the wash, that Britain's MP's are no more than glorified thugs wearing suits.
After Parliaments expenses scandal, a new expenses system was installed called IPSA. This was supposed to reassure the public that the new parliament was to start with a clean slate.
However, it appears that even this new set of parliamentarians are 'naturally' corrupted. Apparently, IPSA staff have been threatened with assault and attacks, that were so serious that legal action was threatened against certain culprits.
Now it turns out that one of the most senior IPSA Chiefs has been forced out of his job for his "own health and sanity".
One has to ask the question, what kind of characters have the public voted for to represent them both as constituents and possibly as government ministers?
We have heard for years, that it is "normal" for parliamentary staff and even MP's to verbally and physically attack members of the public with impunity.
We have noted that complaints are only now being taken seriously, when senior IPSA staff have been 'run out of town' for 'interfering' in the comfortable financial traditions of that place.
It seems to me, that it may be time for one or two constitutents to start sharpening up their 'recall' loins to show these MPs who is boss.
As they say, you can take the man out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the man. Or put another way by Charles I, you can make anyone a peer, but you can't man them a gentleman.
