Appologise, yes!, but is it true?

What government is meant to sort out
Special investigation: The streets where Alfie, 13, grew up offer a disturbing glimpse of the moral anarchy engulfing Britain (Read the story)
Well
here it is explained the today’s Daily Telegraph; "The Ministerial Code
of Conduct is based on a single, overarching principle: “Ministers are
expected to behave in a way that upholds the highest standards of
propriety.” (See the full story by clicking on today’s incredible
story) It then goes to explain that the detail is spread across 28
pages of text. Great, at least we know there is one, but unfortunately
the Telegraph doesn’t publish the actual document, so we can only guess
what it says ... my thoughts on some of the probable statements within
the document are below, please feel free to add your own.
1. When you meet the Queen, refer to her as "your Majesty" do not call her old dear and no hugging or kissing.
2. Members should leave the chamber when requiring to urinate, failing that please move to the back benches.
3.
When referring to colleagues on the opposition benches you should use
the term "The Honourable Member", and you must not laugh.
4. Tea will be served in the commons at 3pm; those who are late will get no biscuits.
5. Travel must always be first class so you don’t mix with the riff-raff.
6.
To ensure that expenses are paid correctly "expenses classes" will be
held every Tuesday titled "How to make a fortune". You are expected to
attend at least ten of these a year. Expenses will be paid.
We know
from the expenses debacle that it cannot be much more than this type of
statement, or no-one or only a few have actually read it, perhaps they
can’t. That’s a good point because if they were educated in our
wonderful school system they may struggle. Perhaps the code of conduct
should be put into pictures making it a bit easier to understand.
Lets
be honest here, even if there was no code of conduct what some of the
MP's have done is corrupt, perhaps not illegally corrupt but morally
corrupt. So I think that the code of conduct needs to be tightened up
and who better to do that but us, so if you have any ideas...
So off to work
Time for a revolution (
Read the full story)
Well
what we see in Today’s Guardian is that the government is going
into meltdown. Perhaps it is time for a revolution but let’s just
consider why?
No police on the
streets, we can catch the villains after they have
committed a crime because we will have video evidence from the million
and one cameras that we have in your area. Cameras are a great idea for
government ... it means that although crime is not stopped they can
improve the detection and conviction rate. MP's can of course claim for
personal security guards.
No
Fox hunting, poor little furry things, but lets go off to
the middle east and let the local population hone their killing skills
on our young men.
No
smoking, because it cost the NHS too much money repairing
smoking related problems. Well we all know that the numbers do not add
up, so lets be honest about it. Don’t smoke because we don’t like you
smoking ... there.
No drinking, again it cost the NHS too much money
and we as a government want to mother you. What about this ... we don’t
like you horrible irksome people having a good time, you're placed on
this earth to work hard and give money to us (government) so that we
can have a good time, so don’t drink... ever.
The list goes on and
would just get boring. What about all these fat cats like professional
footballers who earn oodles of dosh a week, why don’t we just make them
pay more tax, which would enable the MP's to have an even better
lifestyle and get off the backs of the ordinary "folk". Good point here
and would no doubt go a long way in the corridors of power, but how
about this for a revolutionary thought! We could work out a tax
equation that means that everybody takes home the same money and we can
fix that at say £20,000 that seems fair. Or we could say to all those
who don’t earn £100,000 a week that our aspirations are that everybody
will earn that and therefore pay loads more tax. This would enable the
MP's to continue or enhance their lifestyles. Of course this won’t
happen because the people that are in politics, that we elect to
manage the country don’t seem to have a clue about managing paper bag
exits. So politicians listen up ... if you want everybody to be the
same then don’t pull the rich people down, make the poor people rich
and you will get your money just the same.
