Over the side

The news has been filled with the story tonight of the Speaker from parliament resigning his postion having been essentially forced out due to the outcry over Mp's exspenses. He's only the 2nd speaker in 300 hundred years to be forced out. Now I know some people would argue that he should have fallen on his own sword when the extent of the problems became apparent but it's hard not to feel that he's been made a scapegoat and thrown over the side in a attempt to save all the other MP's.

Now some MP's have done the honorable thing in stepping down when it became apparent that they had been milking the system and you have to at least respect them for that. The one's who have been milking the system and try to shelter behind the thin excuse of " everything we did was in the rules and you should blame the system" are the one's really getting everyone's back's up.

The weathers been also playing up again. It was raining really, really hard on the way home. We're talking Mega-death rain, which meant lots of surface water which in turn could only mean one thing. Lots of idiots speeding around gleefully failing to notice the dangerous conditions. My route home was on the very edge of this bad rain and you could see the dark clouds rolling in over head. It was sort of liek the start of independence day only without the flames or aliens.

Anyway, Institute tomorrow which should be interesting as always. Hopefully the weather will improve as I don't fancy driving into Leicester if the rain's that heavy again!

Later folks!
