Three things I’m infinitely bored of…
1. Susan Boyle – is she really that good?
2. Ronaldo’s overwhelming ego and transfer rumours – he wants to go so just let him
3. The MPs expenses scandal – day 109…
Enough already!
…mushrooms?
Only recently have I come to realise that a large amount of people really can’t stand the fungal delight that is a mushroom. Why are people so aggressively negative towards this food which is a perfect ingredient for a whole range of dishes? I must say I don’t understand this discrimination and will continue to advocate their cause. If anyone can enlighten me where this has “stemmed” from please let me know.
Honestly, do we really need to have a political leader that never seems to respond to any crisis? Gordon Brown show yourself!
In my opinion the most important aspect of the Parliament expenses scandal has not yet been fully picked up. It should be about us, not them.
The context – In recent months the Government forced the public’s hand to make us bail out the banks and we will now be paying this back for many of our lifetimes – a massive travesty for all of us and something that was never our decision to make.
What does the expenses story mean with this in mind? Well, I feel that it blows the opposition parties’ argument of caring more for the British public out the water, because if they really cared why would they spoon off us? “I like you so therefore can you pay for my moat to be cleaned?” This is emotional blackmail at its finest.
What is next? Well I think the reaction of each of the party’s leaders is paramount and being a Conservative I hope David Cameron comes down hard on those that have simply been taking the piss. A shake up is required and it takes a real leader to make bold and appropriate changes. I have no doubt that he who does will win votes.
Somewhere down the line the whole Westminster machine (politicians, the system and even the media) has forgotten about what they are here to do, serve the British public, its needs and standing in the world. Listen up Westminster – we require action and if we don’t get it our disillusionment will no doubt be reflected on June 4th and beyond. Please remember why you went into politics in the first place.
Update 16:08pm – Well done David Cameron, you are on the right track.
