Jim Knight MP (Labour) - speaks out on dangers of Facebook, & he has hundreds of friends on facebook.

Oh how I laughed reading this one. Schools Minister Jim Knight has spoken on the fact that children are spending to long on social networking sites.

Yesterday, Mr Knight told them it was their responsibility to stop youngsters from obsessively ‘cultivating their empire of Facebook friends’.

**Yes I have added my self to his "friend list" the amusment of that appeals to my sense of humour.

Instead they should send them outdoors to enjoy ‘healthy activities’ and ‘learn about the world around them’.

But the minister failed to disclose that he has his own vast empire of friends, who follow his exploits online through regular ‘status updates’.

This includes such revelations as the fact that he has ‘finished painting the bedroom’.

His 883 friends can also view holiday snaps, including a shot of the South Dorset MP wearing a beret.

In a speech to head teachers aimed at encouraging greater parental involvement in education, Mr Knight pointed out the perils of spending too long on social networking sites.

Still this is what we expect from our MP's, overpaid and of the opinion that they know best and who are we to correct them.

Jim also voted for 42 days, which put him on my cunt list of mps who voted yes on this.

On top of his rather nice ministerial wage, Jim also blagged a cool £137,970 in expenses for the year 2006/07, expensive job being Schools Minister: link to mp expenses

He is also in favour of ID cards and I am sure that he will be claiming the cost back through expenses unlike the rest of us who will have to pay for the "privilage" of an ID card.

**Never trust a grinning MP in a beret...

New Labour - "I want them all dead. I want their family's dead. I want their houses burnt to the ground. I want to go there in the middle of the night and piss on the ashes."
