    We're in greater danger today than we were the day after Dunkirk. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.Thanks to Broon and Osborne .

    It will be interesting to see if Leveson's QC can outwit Blair QC. Hope Brown loses his temper. because the only use I see in this expensive exercise is its comedy value.

    BBC News - MPs brawl in Ukraine parliament chamber

    Just in case we'd prefer our political process to be less procedural see above.
    "As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. At the back of one of the houses a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. I had time to see everything about her - her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye."

    I'm starting to wonder if there's not a few people in parliment starting to wonder why hey ever caled for this enquiery.
    Seems to me that apart from teh Dowler Familly and a few celeb's getting a pay out from Murdoch there only seems to be three out comes.

    Journo's are cunts and will do anything for stories.
    MP's are cunts and are happy to suck up to whoever will put them in power and keep them there
    Police and other public offuicials can be bought for a price

    The first two I pretty much knew and the Sweeney taught me about the third.
    We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
    As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
    This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
    The shame will always be with us.

    Considering the amount MPs get when their constituency fucks them off, the pension the PM gets from the moment he gets office, the expenses that MPs steal, all of which are robbed from the taxpayer, with no remorse at all, she deserves it. She has taken the fall for her boss, who might have made verbal promises that she will be looked after, who knows? If promises were made, at least they have been kept, unlike the collection of greedy, lying, scum who will promise anything, or pledge the rest to get elected. Then ignore anything they said and wriggle out of any committment.

    Journos may lie, but only the people buying the paper pay for those lies.

    She's well fit so innocent in my books, even though a ginger.
    Warning, this post contains some flash photography.

    Possibly, but I'm secretly hoping that the outcome of next year's trial is a custodial sentence and a fine of, ooh...about £7m?
