Skinner's silly behavior also meant that his important question about the PM's finances, and the benefits of the PM's free housing, went unanswered. Would he have answered them anyway? How many opportunities has he had to date to do so?

I loathe the Tory high command and all that they stand for but it is a touch disturbing how the tyranny of the masses seems to reign these days. If it's not illegal, then what rally is the issue? Maybe I'm missing something, I hardly ever defend Tory's, but calls from Labour for resignations can only destabilise the country, and on what real basis? To be honest, I was surprised it was just the 30k. Wealth is apparently an evil in modern Britain. It is ironic that those who are directing so much bile at Cameron, find the actions of this true socialist acceptable:

I'd like to see the PM's and the chancellor of the exchequer's, as well as their shadow counterparts' tax returns for the last several years. Get it all out in the open. Its a repeat of the expenses scandal waiting to happen, is my guess. Should have waited for PM's question time, when apparently you can do such stunts and get away with it.

I could care less about Russell 'not that interested now I've sold my book' Brand. Tax Avoidance and evasion through technical loopholes is a massive issue for the UK, and all nation states - as it affects the very capacity for state function and cohesion.

Actually, the petition you're talking about is nothing to do with this situation but instead is entirely about all the other lies the Tories have told. These include the forced privatisation of both the education and health sectors, enforcing new contracts on junior doctors, creating a real pay cut to public sector workers salaries and pensions etc. None of which were mentioned in their manifesto. It seems a fairly reasonable thing to want a reelection about really. It's not the people who voted Tory who are signing though is it.

Doesn't the technical capacity exist so that democracy isn't based around constituencies and elected officials, but direct participation of each citizen - With maybe MPs and Parties only suggesting issues to vote on. Except the nobenders with their endless facile petitions would probably hold us back.

It might well be some of them - Plenty of conservatives voters will be people who voted conservative because they don't like Labour or Milliband. Democracy in inaction, its who you don't want in power, that decides elections, not who represents you.

Skinner who fiddled his expenses like the rest of the slimy politicians takes the moral high ground.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

I've noted the names of everyone on this thread who thought Skinner's childish outburst was acceptable and supported him. Note to self - ignore these people from now on. As far as normal right thinking people are concerned Skinner is an utter waste of space as an MP and has let his party and constituents with all that hate fuelled, finger pointing, abuse with contorted face that made him look ridiculous. The Speaker was well within his rights to eject him immediately, but gave him plenty of chances to retract it and he refused. What use is he to his party and constituents outside the debating chamber? He's been doing this for years and those people that voted him in must be as thick as he is. I notice Skinner didn't ask Corbyn where his accounts/tax affairs were.... apparently he's mislaid them (and was fined £100 by HMRC for filing them after the 31st Jan deadline). We keep telling you lefties that no hopers like Corbyn and Skinner are not effective opposition on anybody's scale of acceptable, but you cheer on their rabid outbursts like cheering an England goal, not realising that we're losing 8-1. 2020 will soon be here and you'll still be telling us Corbyn has the will of the people, but strangely not the will to vote for him.
