What can we say ........ I hope this is true. Maybe somebody out there can verify.
Can you imagine working for a company that only has a little more than
635 employees, but has the following Employee Statistics.
29 have been accused of spouse abuse,
7 have been arrested for fraud,
9 have been accused of writing bad cheques,
17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses,
3 have done time for assault,
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit,
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges,
8 have been arrested for shoplifting,
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits,
84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year,
And collectively, this year alone, they have cost the British tax payer
£92,993,748 in expenses!
Which organisation is this?
It's the 635 members of the House of Commons.
The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed
to keep the rest of us in line.
And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate'
pension scheme in the country - whilst trying to ensure that everyone
else has the worst possible!
er......hasn't this, and variations on this, been doing the online urban myth rounds for some time?
Thanks Lynne, So it looks like america but unproven and a very old notice. I will not be apologising to our MP's as I do believe that corruption is also still rife amongst some of our MP's and certain councillors.
@Lynne. you're right that this urban myth is very old hat now. i wish people who claim corruption would provide evidence to back up their claims. i also wish that i'm going to win the lotto jackpot tonite!! ;-)
Nelson/AndyMac Take your head out of your butt,
even the esteemed T Blair when asked about corruption stated " My Government is not as corrupt as some"
@Webmaster. Could you please ask the above User to stop making personal and offensive remarks. I've tried to ignore him, however he keeps insisting on trying to incite a reaction. Surely this person's actions need pulling up? Thanks.
Try less sarcasm and maybe it would stop, after all you started this months ago when you continually put my name on here but couldnt take it when I put your name on, and you asked the webmaster to remove it which he did, he also asked me and I said you had put it on so many times to leave it on.
@Webmaster. Please remind the above User, of the posting where it was agreed that he and I would ignore each other. I'm sure you, as guardian of this website, will understand the difference between banter and abuse.
You forget you put this on under my comment "i wish people who claim corruption would provide evidence to back up their claims" and you think that is ignoreing?
@Webmaster. I'm sure you won't mind pointing out to the above User that the @ symbol is a reply to the named person. Maybe an FAQ section would help those who struggle with things like the Internet. Thanks.
Funny how you can dish it out but cannnot take it, but you can as I have said before take my dogs name as your posting name when you changed it to Nelson from AndyMac and also made up an email nelsonthealsatio@.......... if thats not personal I dont know what is.
I quite agree he really is not worth the response, so I will leave it until the next time he makes a snide remark
I know i say things 2 wind you lot up but it's not worth it.
Life is shit & we die . So make the best of it.
@jools88. well said that man. whilst some people have really empty lives, you're nonetheless 100% spot on.
@Webmaster. I think the case for the prosecution rests their case. This latest outburst from the above User is really not on. Yet again. Thanks, and sorry for continuing this.
@Nelson. at it again good at giving it out and trying to second guess peoples identities, but cant take it back.
Totally confused me with someone on what I understand is a facebook page last week and now continues to have a go at user 4549.
Its you the webmaster needs to ban
Whats more interesting is what are ordinary people going to do about it. This country is so close to a national rebelion that will make the London riots look like childs play, and the goverment at all levels just keep ignoring it whillst feeding their greedy bellies off the national debt.
Did anyone voting for a PCC know they would be able to do this sort of thing?
remember this from the Express and Echo jobs for the boys.
A senior police figure has been reported for allegedly breaching data protection rules after twice e-mailing officers urging them to vote for his preferred candidate in the upcoming police and crime commissioner election.
Mike Bull, chairman of the Devon and Cornwall police authority, encouraged police officers to vote for Brian Greenslade, who is standing as an independent and has reportedly promised to appoint Mr Bull his deputy if elected.
My opinion is that the entire Police system needs a total overhaul from the top down. There are to many so called bosses and the poor people on the front line dont even seem to know the law or what their doing on a daily basis.
Only the other week my boss was pulled in a lorry on the A30 by a so called highly trained traffic officer, it took 30 mins for the officer to confirm that what he had suspected was a breech of the traffic law actually wasent, no apology of course. What is needed is continual training not more management.
Would it be fair to say that if an elected PCC needs one or more deputies then he/she is not capable of doing the job and should be replaced with immediate effect
