THE VENDETTA AGAINST MR SPEAKER
We all know how the present MP for Mid Bedfordshire loves to trivialise and personalise politics.
She's now busy waging war against the Speaker of the House of Commons.
She's up in arms because, apparently, the Speaker has stopped wearing fancy dress.
Now, most of us don't give a toss what the Speaker wears.
Not so Nadine Dorries.
Taking off his fancy outfit will mean millions of pounds lost each year from our tourism economy, she believes.
So what's she doing about it?
She's refusing to stand back to the wall and divert her eyes when the Speaker walks down a corridor.
I kid you not.
She accuses the Speaker of eroding the authority of Parliament.
In the real world, nothing has eroded the authority of Parliament more than the MP expenses scandal, which has destroyed trust in politicians. Whether or not an individual MP was personally culpable, the fact is they all knew the system, they all approved it, they all knew what was going on. And they diverted their eyes, till the cat was out of the bag.

There is no doubt that Nadine Dorries is in her own way very entertaining. Perhaps she could have a role promoting Bedfordshire Tourism. Myself I would like a Parliamentary representative able to put forward a broad cross section of views.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Gareth.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we want an entertaining MP in Mid Bedfordshire, not even a comedienne. We need an MP who will work to reduce the shameful inequality in our country, which has grown under both Conservatives and New Labour.
An MP who will work to ensure that never again will the bankers and financiers with their astronomical bonuses bring us to the verge of ruin. And a Party that will take the global climate threat seriously.
