Really kimbers, I sincerely doubt Mr Cameron would be quaffing champagne from a wine glass. 🙄

Disappointed the odious woman has been allowed to resign, she should have been sacked.

Cameron approves of your quip sbob.

Which presumably makes the doubling of the House of Common's Champagne consumption since the Tories came back to government absolutely fine.

Although quite what the Bullingdon Boys have been celebrating I'm not sure.......shafting everyone and getting away with it ?

We don't have a Tory government, we have a coalition goverment between the Conservative party and the Liberal Democrats, incase it escaped your attention.
Maybe if violent drunkards like Labour's Eric Joyce drank a little less, the bill could be reduced.

I sincerely hope you don't interpret this post as suggesting that spending that much public money on champers is absolutely fine.

Everyone, the house of commons champagne budget has gone up - let's rise up against the greedy shampoo-swilling overlords..

“The increasing trend is to sell more receptions than dinner events which attract a higher number of guests and is the reason for increased consumption and sales in alcohol. To accommodate this increase in demand, banqueting has increased its order of champagne stocks." (house of commons food and beverage buyer)

Of course we have a Tory government. The LibDems are quite inconsequential and are simply aiding and abetting.

And I could be wrong but I doubt Eric Joyce got drunk on Champagne.

He also got expelled from the Labour Party as getting drunk and having fights with Tories in the House of Commons isn't Labour Party policy.

In contrast I assume David Cameron fully supports the doubling of Champagne consumption in the House of Commons since he became Prime Minister. Or have you got some proof that this has all happened against his express wishes ?

Prehaps a good day to remember that a guy who stole a £3.50 bottle of water during the riots went to jail for 6 months... 😕

I think Eric Joyce should be congratulated for punching Tory's. He's only doing what an awful lot of us would do given half the chance.

Lets be honest, given the 'Permanent Austerity' they've imposed on the nation, I'd imagine a bar full of the guffawing, champagne-swilling, chinless hoorays would have that effect on most right-minded people

Ignoring your initial fallacy,

I doubt Eric Joyce got drunk on Champagne.

this just exposes your prejudice, which was why I was careful to include all three major parties in my post.
They are all self serving shits, but some people will only look to pick up on certain negative traits of an MP if they are from a particular party.

I would be interested to know why you think you are aware of the record breaking expense claiming MP's drinking habits though, but for the record, he was drinking wine.
Red, so probably ok in your manifesto. 😉

Eric Joyce, top expense claiming MP on two seperate occasions and the first MP to claim over the £1,000,000 mark.

Maybe you need to think a little about your prejudices too binners.

its that kind of thing which means MPs will always regulate MPs and not let the judiciary get involved.

I really don't need to think about my prejudices. I loath them all! I just find some more punchable than others. Frankly you'd be hard pressed to find anything on the planet more eminently slappable than this….

Piers Morgan excepted, can you think of anyone?

Ignoring your initial fallacy

What fallacy sbob.........my claim that [i]"the Tories came back to government"[/i] ?

You know something which the rest of the country doesn't know sbob.......the leader of the Tory Party isn't really Prime Minister ?

Go on, explain yourself.

Piers Morgan excepted, can you think of anyone?

Edit - of course, I predict that Harridan Harperson will be on telly by the weekend decrying Dave for forcing a fellow 'wimmin' out of the cabinet unfairly and telling us how the Tories are evil pigs for not supporting her!

Personally, I find the way MPs conduct themselves in parliament disgusting and abhorrent.

An emotion you probably share with 99.99999999999% of the population sbob

[s]Simon Cowell?[/s]

No, on second thoughts.....you're right. 😀

And he's been deselected by the Labour party. What's your point?

I think his point is that unlike Labour Cameron likes to hang on to bad eggs. At least that's the point he appears to be making.

Not read all of this but has anyone explained why, if you live in wimbledon, work at either parliament in town or at your constituency office in Basingstoke (c45 miles away from sw19) you even need a second home? Or is it just a snout in the trough thing?

I'd love to slap David Camerons big shiny, botoxed forehead repeatedly like this….

Then set about George osbourne with either a hammer or a frying pan, like this….

Eric Joyce.

Top-claiming Member of the House of Commons for the 2005–06.
Top-claiming Member of the House of Commons for the 2007–08.
Banned from driving in 2008.
Banned from driving in 2010 for failing to provide a breath specimen.
Et cetera.

So when did Labour [b]suspend[/b] this upstanding MP?

Yes, you're right ernie, Labour definitely don't like to hang on to bad eggs. 🙄

Was he a minister?

So you think being the "top claiming" member of the House of Commons should mean that you are expelled from your party ? 🙂

When was he thrown out of the Labour Party ? Well when it became clear that his alcohol-fueled criminal behaviour made him unfit to represent the Labour Party I would have thought.

But anyway, if your point [i]isn't[/i] that unlike Labour Cameron likes to hang on to bad eggs, what is it ?

BTW Maria Miller hasn't been thrown out of the Tory Party.

oh cmon stumpy01, Simon Cowell has to be the most slappable MP shirley.

Haven't read the thread as I know it will only be the usual lefty/liberal STW rantings, but Cameron made a big mistake here.

Please point out where I have said that.

Think all you like, and I would encourage that action, but he resigned.

But anyway, if your point isn't that unlike Labour Cameron likes to hang on to bad eggs, what is it?

Do you really need that much help?
I think I've been fairly clear.

BTW Maria Miller hasn't been thrown out of the Tory Party.

Ooh, now we're getting close.
Honestly Che, we may disagree but I never before took you for being such a simpleton.

PS. again, what is it you do for a living?

Seems we mis-judged her

He resigned after he was suspended. A case of jumping before he was pushed.

That's conjecture, and doesn't help to make the point that ernie was failing to make.
Miller may also have been sacked had she not stood down. That's my point. Self serving shits the lot of them.

Eh ? What do you mean "may also have been sacked" ? Eric Joyce wasn't "sacked"...where do you get that from ?

He was kicked out of his party (whether or not he resigned his membership before formal expulsion is completely irrelevant) and he received no support whatsoever for his thuggish behaviour from his party leader.

In contrast Maria Miller received full backing from her party leader and her membership to the Tory Party remains totally secure.

There is absolutely no comparison at all between Eric Joyce and Maria Miller, either in what they did or in the consequences of their behaviour.

I don't have the slightest idea why you brought the case of Eric Joyce onto this thread, and you appear to have completely forgotten that it was [i][u]you[/u][/i] who was trying to make a point with regards to the Eric Joyce case, not me.

BTW I love the irony of you calling me a simpleton 🙂
