    holding the position of member of parliament

    OK, no apologies if this has been said before but i have had a few weissbiers and framboises and dont really give a monkeys. Bit down, as yet again we are loosing the flowers of our youth on the altar of political kudos. After reading the latest obituary i am of the opinion that to hold political office in this country of ours, every minister has to have held a post whereby he, or she, serves the public and the greater good of this country by working in some sort of public service, be it the forces, police, NHS or any other worthy cause. The latest bunch of solicitors and mealy mouthed products of a skewed education and to be honest, "slimey used car salesmen" make me sick to think i swore an oath to serve these ministers appointed by Her Majesty. As a youth i held the local MP as well as my teachers and headmasters in high regard, as most were of the generation who fought during WW2, (quite a few were part of the forgotten 14th army), and as such many knew the horrors of conflict and could put into perspective any decision that was made. This bunch only see as far as the next soundbite.
    P.s. this applies to all parties not just the shampaign socialists in office (and thats not a spelling error).
    Given to the House of Commons 20 April 1653

    It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

    Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you?

    Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter’d your conscience for bribes?

    Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

    Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil’d this sacred place, and turn’d the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress’d, are yourselves gone!

    So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!
