Just finished watching Question Time as well as reading the various blogs online, and the general consensus amongst us was that if the mood of those in the audience in the genteel city of Salisbury is anything to go by, then we could see some very nasty flashpoints between now and the General Election, whenever that will be.
There seems to be a feeling in the country that some members need to do some serious time at Her Majesty's Pleasure and with good reason. William Hague on the aforementioned Question Time described some expense claims as bordering on fraud. That is an understatement, young Willie. What we are seeing is the uncovering of an awful lot of dirty underwear.
Do members not realize yet what is going on in the country? The country is going through a recession and with people losing their homes and jobs, the likelihood of extremist parties getting a seismic breakthrough was very possible. In the light of the avalanche of sleaze and fraud allegations which is submerging parliament, the chances of a Fascist MEP getting elected at the forthcoming European elections is more likely than not - I would suggest somewhere in the North Of England as being at greatest danger of the slime getting a seat.
The public are getting very restless, we have seen the anger of a mainly middle-class audience tonight. Just imagine how those of the population who live in the poorest areas of the country are feeling right now. It can be argued that they would be excused to kick off right now - it is those who live in the poorest 10% of the country who would be the targets of the benefit cheat adverts and yet the very same people who have been accused of stealing taxpayers and have supported the government's hardline on those who are on benefits, are fiddling the system for their own wanton greed.
The French know how to get their politicians to listen.
Perhaps we should take a leaf out of their game-book.
Night, Night.
