A big, fat, greasey Suffolk turkey
There is a God and I shall never doubt Him again! And let's hear it loud and clear for the good Tory people of South Suffolk who last night heaved this dodgey greaser out of their selection list for the next election. According to 'm'Lord Bishop' Hill, this less than Honourable Member, whilst serving (himself!) as chairman of the Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee, made £400k out of various 'Greenie' schemes including those totally useless but eye-wateringly expensive windmills for which we pay! The only words I can think of are 'good riddance to bad rubbish' but a witty commenter over at Guido's place sums it up better than me: I shall erect a wind-powered pig-trough in his memory!
A shit summarily dispatched: well done the yokels!!

All to the good, I am sure, and very happy for the people of his district, but remember the fundamental principle,"Politicians are like cockroaches. It's not what they carry off that's important, but what they ruin by falling into it."

Indeed, Michael, and also they share the characteristic of being able to sustain any number of blows and then scuttle onwards without injury!

Could this be the Tories obtaining a social conscience. What next maybe getting rid of food banks and properly caring for the British poor and the vulnerable. Maybe screwing the spivs that run the banks and energy companies, fuck I just woke up and UKIP have been elected. There is a devil.

Naturally he'll pop up in the House of Lords quite soon, and continue just as before.
