It's The Poor What Gets The Blame

So - while Baroness Scotland got off with a slap on the wrist, Loloahi gets banged up ! How we need some of that Freedom, Fairness and Responsibility ...



I got her from a bar down in old Soho
Where you don’t stay long
Or you catch a dose of Ebola
E-B-O-L-A Ebola

She walked up to me and she asked for a job
And I asked her name
And in a dark brown voice she said Loloahi
L-O-L-O Loloahi

Well she’d left Tonga just a week before
And I’d never ever hired illegals before
But Loloahi smiled and she looked the part
And said ‘OK lady, when do I start?’

Well I’m not the sharpest knife in the tray
But when she showed me her papers, they looked OK
They said ‘Loloahi’

I fired her today
I rushed to see Gord
I begged and implored
I got down on my knees
And he said I have his full support

Well I’m not the world’s most clever QC
But I know why Gordon appointed me …

The rules are the rules but it’s just a mistake
I got mixed up, muddled up in good faith
Over Loloahi ...

More grist to the Great Reform Bill? If the last lot could enact retrospective legislation at the drop of a Statutory Instrument, so can this lot. These cheats must be made to pay the price for their misdeeds.

I wonder how much longer we will put up with this sort of thing (and no, I don't mean songs about transvestites)?

I am told that a policeman got four months in jail for sex on the job, but Tony's mate Presclott gets a lordship. I think those that govern us should have harsher punishments for transgressions, not rewards.

Now, basically as a group, benefit claimants were more honest than the last crop of MPs, so what do you expect.
This is the framing effect - we are now not surprised if MPs are a bit spivvy.
Not so with the police. It still upsets and surprises me when a policeman is sent down - call me naive.

I will wait for Prescott's paramour to press charges as per the object of the Policemans unwanted attentions.

Such out and out liars, Labour. How they are still together is a mystery. Zero to do with freedom.
