MPs are by and large a sleazy lot: from brown paper bags under the table ala Hamil­tons to ‘inno­cent’ for­get­ful­ness when employ­ing rel­a­tives or dou­ble claim­ing these pricks are milk­ing the sys­tem. They claim for the John Lewis list of tel­lies fridges cur­tains and the sec­ond homes that they claim they sim­ply ‘must have’ to do their work.

The Speaker of the House, the almost incred­i­bly inept and incom­pe­tent Michael Mar­tin, recently lost a High Court action to allow his fel­low sleaze­bags to con­ceal their dis­hon­esty. Were it Geeklawyer or you that would, save an appeal, be the end of the matter.

We two, how­ever, do not have the abil­ity to make up self-serving law. It’s a perk of the job of being an MP per­haps. All the crooked sleazy & dis­hon­est MPs & Min­is­ters have got together to draft an amend­ment to the Free­dom of Infor­ma­tion Bill that will allow them to con­ceal their fid­dling. Not because they are crooks, oh no, but because it would be expen­sive and time con­sum­ing. Oh yes and, erm, ter­ror­ism. You see FOI requests might help Al Qaeda locate MPs. Yea, hon­est and you wouldn’t want to help ter­ror­ists would you? You being in favour of democ­racy & all?

Many of us suck­ers, aka tax­pay­ers, aren’t hav­ing it. Myso­ci­ety run They­Work­ForYou the famous web­site designed to keep MPs hon­est despite them­selves. are run­ning a cam­paign via Face­book group to get peo­ple to write into their MPs  and demand that they oppose this legislation.

Geeklawyer has writ­ten to his scum­bag Neo-Labour yes man and expects an uncon­struc­tive response. But ya gotta go through the motions.

It seems amus­ingly ironic that the same scum who are intro­duc­ing ID Cards and the data­base state so that they can mon­i­tor every­thing we do, from tak­ing a shit to drink­ing too much, want a lit­tle more pri­vacy for them­selves. Hypocrites.
