they even claim for a TV licence, when almost every week the observer prints lists of people being fined for not having one, if an MP buys a gallon of diesel he claims it back, so why should they worry about us.
when is the electorate going to wake up to these greedy hypocrites, who are living the high life and leaving us to pick up the tab.  |
I can't help wondering how old you are den, myself I have ever believed in socialism, but like I have always maintained each to is own. When elected those people (of any party, parliamentary I mean ) forget all the promises they made on the doostep and have to buckle to the party line, Greg has made, to his credit, some moves to pacify the Hyndburn public, but he's a party man, first and formost, so don't expect him to do hand stands at any left wing request from you or anyone else, for Greg is now as left wing as I am, and I'm just to the left of Atila the Hun
