The political crisis in the UK
3 sitting MP's are being investigated by the MET for criminal fraud
I have lost count of cabinet resignations now, but I think about 10
Gordon Brown has gone to the press and talked about his wish to just walk away from the whole thing.
For 6 weeks now, we have seen a slow drip feed of revalations of our MPs using the expenses system to maximise their take... every day we see a few more of them are on the take.
The govt releases redacted info that is blacked out and censored, 6 weeks after the papers put it all into the public domain anyway
The Gurkha's crisis, a govt in a national election polling less than a sixth of the share of the vote, a Prime Minister who clearly has no authority left (the Iraq inquiry will be private, no it will be public, well of course the army will be involved.... etc etc)
To quote words that were used a time ago... "In the name of God, go!"
We have no parliament, we have no leadership, the whole of our government is held in absolute and complete contempt by the majority of the people. They must go to the people now. Surely they can see they have no mandate. Surely they can see they are finished.
We face the real prospect of our elected representatives in court defending themselves in charges of criminal fraid.... and not just one bad apple, but dozens of them...and those who dont face charges are simply the cleverer ones who had better scams. This cannot carry on.
Brown is losing it, he went on TV to talk about his honesty and how he was raised to abhor lying, and then ten seconds later told a lie (that he never considered sacking Darling)... the Lib Dems are under investigation for Proceeds of Crime laws and Money Laundering, we have Tory MPs with fucking moats and duck houses and undercourt heating on their private tennis courts which they see no issue with putting on their exes... a chancellor who is guilty of tax avoidance (not tax evasion fair enough, but definitely avoidance), we have a banking system in utter crisis... we are the laughing stock of Europe and the world.
You are no parliament!
This crisis will only deepen, they cannot just ride it out... they must go to the people and face OUR justice.
