Lest we forget

The only MP who had the courage to appear on Question Time last night was Ken Clarke. Apparently over a hundred were asked, but declined. They have some sense of shame then.

You wouldn't know it from reading the blacked out expenses documents published yesterday. This must amount to monumental arrogance. The Telegraph has already published the uncensored version and they are in a position to make comparison with "the stuff they didn't want us to know"; yet they went ahead anyway. You couldn't make it up, as they say.

They must believe that after we all go away for a sumer holiday we will forget about this and it will be business as usual. This seem to be the thinking also behind the election of a new speaker, and they think they can get away with an unreformed house.

Message to MPs. We will never forget this one!
