David Laws goes, mown down by collective cowardice and hypocrisy

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/27/david-laws-profile

Gosh, we're so clever, aren't we? Obviously, our government is already so STUFFED with talent that we can afford to cut MPs down like grass over some petty rule about whom one may pay rent to if we hire their premises, especially if they show a bit of talent.

There are so many petty rules that even the politicians who made them can't keep up. That is the long and short of it.

The best people (and I include Peter Mandelson because he is loved, hated and feared in equal measure) are now out of office and staying out, while fools and knaves increase in number.

The media as expected are pompously prating about integrity and the reputation of MPs.

Anyone earning less than an MP - and you have to be something of a loser, don't you, to be prepared to settle for the paltry basic salary of just under £65K per annum an MP gets these days while being spat and sneered at by members of the public - seem to be gloating obscenely, pissing and shitting themselves with delight at yet another opportunity to kick a member of the political classes in the teeth.

Cameron and Clegg are very obviously not defending him but managing to make a few weak squeaks of regret and support.

Two metrosexual men in charge, but still no balls in British government.

People deserve the government they get, and boy, do we deserve the government we are going to get.
