Thomas Salmon (historian) (b1679) used the quote of his speech, whoremaster etc. The links and the historian who lived a lot closer in time than either of us would beg to differ about whether he made the speech. As to who would be the Lord Protector well I would of course Edited by johnno42000 (21 Mar 2019 11.54pm) I think you would make a very good Lord Protector J.

Edited by ChrisGC (23 Mar 2019 9.49am) The Ayes have it all ... politicians know how to milk every last penny out of the taxpayer and get all the perks going. That's aside from what they can pick up from their other interests. Their troughs are certainly well filled.

Their troughs are certainly well filled. You’re right there H. They also manage to secure positions on various boards and other sinecures when they leave the House of Conmen. The gravy train takes some derailing even by those who really try.

Are you suggesting that MPs don't claim for cleaning the moat around their home or for building a floating duck house or even claiming £20,700 for repairs to the bell tower in his stately home

David Lammy claims £100 a year for a Jaffa cakes. Not for his cat I assume.

Have always thought that anyone who wants to be a politician should be automatically barred from the job. Should be a fixed term 5 year post selected randomly. They are supposed to represent us not themselves.

Maybe he's expressing his hatred towards persons of orange. Trump should come out and defend his people. Edited by Stirlingsays (30 Mar 2019 9.54am)
