Besides the latest furore over cash for access to Cameron, we have the news John Bercow is alleged to have made a £600,00 profit on the sale of an apartment on which he claimed taxpayer support coupled with the news that MP's expense receipts are to remain unpublished.
MilibandE promptly jumps on the bandwagon demanding an independent inquiry - one which could run in tandem with one into union financing of the Labour Party and also considers what influence has been sought, what influence has been gained, and what impact it has had. While those two inquiries are funning, how about a third into MilibandE's election as Labour Leader, one he obtained with union votes, with the same remit.
Already 'holes' are appearing in statements being issued - witness Downing Street sources who initially said it was "immediately clear" Mr Cruddas had to resign when the story first broke last night - a statement contradicted by the Sunday Times, who told PoliticsHome that they first contacted Downing Street at 3pm yesterday, when the initial response was non-committal.
When the Expenses Scandal broke all party leaders agreed that politics and Parliament required cleaning up - yet it seems that politicians are still continuing to 'clean up' in politics and Parliament. As with everything else, in an extremely short period of time this will be forgotten because another 'story du jour' will divert the public's attention - one no doubt engineered by those who have the most to hide.
That our justice system is completely skewed can be witnessed by the fact that we imprison petty thieves - and appoint the great ones to public office.

Without wanting to be placed under the scrutiny of our ever so clever security services, I have believed for a long time, and continue to do so, that the only way we are to cleanse our augean stables, is for the sources of the excrement to be culled. I just wish I was the man to do it. Unfortunately, I'm too old and too much the coward.
Even as we fume, the NWO presses on virtually unnoticed or touched.

Armalite and the Ballot Box was the response to Northern Ireland Politics when it disenfranchised whole swathes of the population

jic: 'Sok - I'm in the same boat age wise, although not a coward.
Or: Yup, I read that too.
TT: And it will happen here too, eventually.
Sigh. And thus the circus continues, with Bercow's wife doing party tricks.
