I did not necessarily support the political positions of either Michael Foot or Tony Ben but these two politicians had more integrity in their little finger than the entire members of the House of Parliament have in their entire bodies.
I'm old enough to remember politicians with principles , even politicians such as Enoch Powell , Ted Heath , Margaret Thatcher as well as the , still incumbent ( hope he is clean) Dennis Skinner.
Their greed is beyond redemption , the British public has now realized what a bunch of greedy , undisciplined selfish money grabbing scumbags their MPs are. The risk now is that the voters will turn to fringe parties if only to punish the greedy MPs.
It was a very simple question too - (something about the minister claiming forty odd pounds for tights and other women's products! ). Just about every answer he gave was - and this is not a quote - ' that is the system'! (the 'system' he helped set up too!)
