He believed fanatically in privatisation the same way that a convert to becomes bound up with the rules and not the spirit of their chosen religion. The same way that ex-patriots fein obsession with the minutia of their home county.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&amp;blog=2000120&amp;post=2178&amp;subd=talkingbollocks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I also am angry. I am angry that MPs knew the system was being abused yet when given the chance to reform the system in July 2008 they voted 172 to 144 to reject reform. Since there are 645 MPs in The House of Commons this means that 330 MPs could not even be bothered to vote. Since they were complacent about expenses in 2008 I suggest they blame themselves not Sir Thomas.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&amp;blog=2000120&amp;post=1268&amp;subd=talkingbollocks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Archbishop of Canterbury complained that the revelations could undermine faith in democracy. It’s odd how the establishment always trot out arguments like this when they’ve done something wrong. It amounts to, “We’re too important”.
It would be interesting to see a teenage shoplifter use the same argument: “You can’t prosecute me m’lord, it would undermine the public’s faith in the youth of today”.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&amp;blog=2000120&amp;post=779&amp;subd=talkingbollocks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
