I read a blog just yesterday which reminded me of something....

A few weeks ago I was in a large Chinese Restaurant following a day at the races. I think just about everyone else in there had been racing too and I think it is fair to say that some were a little worse for wear.

Anyway, i go off to the toilet and standing by the door are two women having a ermmmm heated debate (about a man of course).

When I came out, the debate was becoming more heated and was on the verge of a catfight.

Using my usual charm, wit and repartee I tried to diffuse the situation by suggesting that they should take it outside...preferably to a mud filled paddling pool where they could undress and fight naked, charging men a tenner to watch.

It had the desired effect in that a giggle was raised. hugs and kisses followed, tearful remorse from both of them but then......they had a right old go at me for being a typical man!!!

I wish I`d just read the Bible to them.

You may/may not have noticed but just yesterday our wonderfully honest Members of Parliament (the Right Honourables? Gimme a break will ya)voted through the Commons a Bill excusing them from the Freedom of Information Act.

This means that they will no longer have to publish their expenses for all to see. Only a reading in the House of Lords stands between this becoming "the law".

They even usued Parliamentary procedure to ensure that the Bill was squeezed through with the minimum of fuss (all peeing in the same pot or what???).

Now, we can just sit back and let this happen or at least attempt do something to prevent this going through. What can we do?

I ask that everyone mails their MP advising them of our disgust at their actions and if enough of us do it we might just make them feel ashamed and cause the Bill to fail. Also, I suggest that all mails are copied to a newspaper where they could be collated and a feature made of the public disgust we all feel towards the "Right Honourables" (the Daily Mail would be good for this).

Remember it is YOUR money they are spending and they are trying to hide their expense claims from you.

DO SOMETHING!!!!
