    Dennis not Frank, love him or hate him you can always rely on him.

    Debate in House of Commons today following statement by Jeremy Hunt and news that one of Hunts advisor's had resigned,

    Skinner,"Isn't it always the way, when the posh boys are in trouble they sack a servant"

    Like a say, classic Skinner.

    They say he has the best attendance record of any MP , and won't drink in the subsidised bar out of principle.

    Long live The Beast.

    Skinner was one of the few mp's who actually came across as an honest human being.
    Tony Benn was another. Thought he would have made a great PM. Remember when the expenses scandal hit it was revealed Tony Benn was the only mp to have claimed absolutely NOWT!

    He is a national treasure and a modern day Oliver Cromwell. Represents a mining community and insists on remaining in the chamber as long as they are sitting. He does this because the electorate he represents cannot come and go as MPs do.

    If memory serves correctly he once tried to introduce a bill for MPs to clock in/out.

    A very good idea that. ,,,,,,,,,,<ok>

    Then at least we'd know where the majority of the greedy, self serving lazy bastards are.
