Just when you thought that our MPs could not sink any lower in talking complete bollocks as they engage in populist pre-election vote grubbing, they turn up en masse to surprise you with a new act of idiocy. Leading the charge on this occasion is the economic illiterate business secretary Vince Cable and the matter at hand is Quindell (QPP).

Ah……………. bit of a short squeeze this A.M . Feeling a bit sweaty Wasser ? Dont worry it will come back down with a bang . That Vince Cable really is a gullible twat . I dont know why the liberals carry on in politics . The Student loan “U turn for power fiasco” made them totally un electable with the new voting generations coming through . They may as well take 20 – 30 years off and wait for the memories to fade . That was the biggest strategic political blunder in the last 30 years ……..well done Clegg ……….. what a 24 carrot plonker Rodders . Yes Clegg, you wrote of 30 odd years work done by your party workers at a stroke with one silly policy pledge not kept .

They might succeed in getting Swindell’s shares suspended as there was a strong case for suspension once the PWC investigation was announced. But they won’t be able to polish a turd. There has been a campaign in the forums to get PIs to complain to their MP and this is the result. MPs can’t do much else until PWC, the FCA or some other official body exposes wrongdoing.

Peter Hain.
Protesting on a benign Surrey cricket field is one thing, in the Township of Soweto is another. I served a 2 year custodial sentence in South African prison for peaceful protest with continued disregard for the South African Apartheid laws, Peter Hain, they never heard of him in South Africa. Take it from one who knows, that loathsome is a con

Tom,
No surprises there then, dumb and dumber, twat and twatters,welcome to NUMPTYLAND,!£?&%#.
Hanging is far too good for them
Wait a minute! This rings a bell.
Way back when, didn’t the political blogger Guido Fawkes make his name by applying forensic journalistic techniques to the question of MPs expenses?
And didn’t he find that one MP had a six-figure discrepancy in his accounts with respect to his campaign expenses as he challenged for the post of Deputy Prime Minister?
And wasn’t there a well-respected Canadian billionaire involved?
And isn’t it illegal for MPs to accept donations from foreign nationals?
And shouldn’t the MP involved have been tried, prosecuted and thrown in the nick and the key thrown away?
If only I could remember the name of the crooked MP involved. I think his name rhymed with ‘plane’.

Nothing surprises me with Quindell. Cameron may come out in support of it because of the votes ha ha. Still it has shot up today creating another great short opportunity :-0

It comes as no surprise that Vince Cable has jumped on board with the pro Quindell crowd. As proven numerous times the man is the biggest opportunist in the present parliament, going any lengths to court publicity and garner populist acclaim.
The very fact that he will replace the ambitious, but hapless Clegg, should ensure the Liberals will indeed wander the political wilderness for a generation.
