The tsunami is just getting larger and larger over there.
When you think of U.S. corruption scandals, none even comes close to this.
Although, frankly, I would LOVE to see half of the U.S. Congress cleared out in one election.

We're too stupid, apathetic, and uneducated to the real things that matter
to be bothered.
We'll just slip our chains on and go back to American Idol.

Can't say as i'm surprised. Anger against the left in Britain has been growing for quite some time because of the left selling the country out to foriegn invaders. Their whole culture is being undermined and they arn't going to sit still for it like the French will.

Well there is something to admire about liberal Brits, at least some of them are honorable enough to resign.
I wish Pelosi was honorable enough to resign after undermining our national security when she unjustly accuses the CIA of lying to Congress. American liberals will sacrifice anything for political power, including our national security.

Said the ghost of Christmas future to Nancy Pelosi.
Barney Frank alone can probably out scandal the entire British Parliament.

Because I've been following a scandal called baby P, I've sort of seen a lot with the government lately in Britain.
The difference is that their press will call out their government compared to our PRAVDA in america.
The media lack of coverage is becoming frightening.

Britain Is Becoming Revolutionary.
I've never known people over here as politicised as they are at the moment.
Some of the revelations about out M.P's are truely shocking IMO. One guy claiming for horse manure on his expenses, another claiming £1500 for a duck house, another putting in a bill to the tax payer for his moat to be cleaned (a ****ing MOAT for gods sake!), the list is endless. These, however infuriating, don't compare to the rogues claiming for mortgage payments on property that doesn't exist.
I know what has happened though. The established politicians came to see expenses as an entitlement because their pay grade had fallen behind other professional rates of pay like that of doctors and head teachers. The problem is though 90% of our politicians see it as just another career to enter into. They have no real political or ideological belief system, it's just a job to them.
People have seen through the fascade and are going to vote the established order into oblivion in the upcoming Euro Elections. Personally I'm voting for a new political party 'NO2EU - Yes To Democracy', a union led, left leaning anti Europe coalition.
My biggest worry is how many people are openly voicing their support for the B.N.P, a party who regards anybody who isn't ethnically white as non-British. My own father said he's going to vote for them because he's so full of anger towards the establishment. Personally I don't know anybody who is considering voting for Labour or Tories in the upcoming elections.

One of his boy toys has to be found hanged in an apartment he's paying the rent on with taxpayer money, then he'd be close.

Normally I despise some people's obsession with going along with whatever European countries do, but in this case, I'd make an exception.
Congress needs to be sent a message.

How about the unreal scandal that just unfolded where Gordon Brown's advisor and a head labour party activist were busted for their plans to smear the Conservatives and their wives?
If anyone wants to see dirty politics at it's worst you have to check out this scandal.
These top two in the liberal party had gone so far as to set up a blog where they were going to fabricate affairs that conservatives were having (there were no affairs happening but hey why let the truth get in the way)
Complete lies but with a vile streak.
Much like the fake blogger who sent out so many lies mostly directed at Sarah Palin as a "McCain" advisor.
Liberals are insane and vicious these days.
I miss the days of gracious democrats; those days are gone forever.
Check this out. The liberal tactics will set your hair on fire:eek:And they will seem eerily familiar.
But it has emerged that Red Rag had been registered and set up in embryo form last November, while the leaked emails date from January: the Observer understands the plan was only placed on ice this month.
Senior Tories are particularly furious that two of the proposed targets are understood to have been Samantha Cameron and Frances Osborne, wives of the leader and shadow chancellor respectively.
The emails are understood to discuss putting in the public domain a mixture of previously unpublished rumours and rehashed stories,
such as allegations by a prostitute two years ago that she took drugs with George Osborne – which he angrily denied.

Liberal tactics these days are so gutter. Doesn't matter what country your in, it just is a liberal "thing".
