Have they ever?
He’s still a doofus who should shut up and go away.
That 50 will get him a nice flat with heat, hot/cold running water, and a bit of meat each week. Seriously, 50K pounds … are they punishing him?
The political system in this country is broken. I think we need to do the following:
1) Implement PR
2) Reduce parliment to around 400 MPs
3) Pay each MP £150k pa plus expenses
4) Limit MPs to a maximum of 3 terms
5) No MP second jobs
6) No directorships during time they are at parliment or conflicting ones afterwards
7) Abolish HOL replace with small elected chamber of new law reviewers.
8) Long prison sentences for Corruption in Public Office.
9) Political donations from UK residents only limited to max of £500 per year.
10) All political advertising paid for by the state.
11) Elections on a Sunday and voting compulsary.
12) No foriegn ownership of media.
any others to add to the list.
Just proves you can fuck up completely and still land on your feet if you know the right people
