The stench is overpowering

The British people are being taken for mugs by the political elite.

Last year we had the sordid spectacle of MPs and peers gorging in the trough of public money to fund their lifestyles.

We had to endure the distasteful episode during which manifesto promises were broken as the politicians grubbed around to gain power.

The latest revelations concerning hacking show the depths and lengths to which politicians would go to curry favour with the Murdoch empire.  Let there be no doubt, Labour sucked up to Murdoch in spades, so the self-righteous pontification  by Ed Miliband leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.

Recently Miliband stated that Rebekah  Brooks should resign as the wrongdoing had happened on her watch.  I agree, but when was the last time a government minister or local authority leader resigned for something that happened on their watch?  What we are told by the person overseeing a failure is that they are best placed to retrieve the position.  Pass the sick bag please.  More a case of politicians wishing to preserve their power and perks than take responsibility.

And politicians wonder why people are reluctant to vote!
