The Times has published details of how much the Speaker of the House of Commons costs us:
The Speaker’s billWill he resign? Well of course not.
£137,000 Salary; he also gets a grace-and-favour apartment
£17,346 Expenses he claimed for a second home last year
£7,595 Expenses he claimed last year for running costs for using his Scottish home as an office, a practice from which MPs are discouraged
£50,000 Amount of public money he spent on air travel for his wife, Mary. She also spent more than £4,000 on taxis
£21,500 Amount of public money spent on legal challenges by Mr Martin’s office to newspapers, including The Times

Some years ago there was the famous phrase that New Labour "Did not do God", well both New Labour and politicians in general do not do many other things. They don't do guilt(even when caught), they don't do shame, they don't do honesty and mostly they do not ever fucking do the right thing and resign when caught out like fat cuntbubble Michael Martin.
Another day and another New Labour sleaze story.

Remember that glorious May evening in 97, when we could all hope and dream of a brighter tomorrow, (ha) - and the Tories? - well they were gone for all money and utterly despised.
What goes around comes around perhaps?.
Or next time, should we the British public just vote to abolish government all together?.
Either Party - Same parasitic, freeloading scum....
We need to vote, but we need less freeloading scum jumping on the assorted party bandwagons.
