Where does the title Honourable come from, did they award this to themselves. Also where and who is in charge of the Breathalizer, which most industrys have to endure before proceeding towards their place of work. Or do they think themselves above the common plebs. John Sabourn

i think its the polite way of saying hey mate they cannot beat their whips up anymore other wise name calling would be used some words like liar conman and such are banned and its etiquette in the hallowed halls of parliament? although crook conman liar toerag should be more well placed in there nowjp

Sorry fellas but you have got it all wrong. If you stop them drinking then consider the concequences, you would then have a rabble incapable of thinking, not that they do much of that now, let alone speaking. You would get a parliament capable of making sensible decissions, a governmnet thatawould be there for the people not their pensions. You would get MP's who would reply to your letters, give sensible advice and even visit you in an attempt to get your vote.
You as the elctorate would have nothing to complain about, the counry would cease to lurch from crisis to crisis and you might even run out of illegals.
Oh I must get my tounge out of my cheek.

I may sound quite anti-labour party sometimes , if not all the time . I lived near the Belper constituency of the late Lord George Brown 1914-1985 , he spent his Saturday surgery time at the Belper Labour Club totally inebriated and aggressive , I learned that the Member of Parliament was not there for his constituency , but the constituency there for it's member . A Londoner by birth , a politician , after a job in the Unions , imposed on a safe seat . I just wish that politicians were local men or women , at least five years living in the area they represented , and not a political favour .

Hi shipmates we had a local M.P. like him a few years ago, A True blue Tory who never done a days work in his life, he was a public school boy whos parents were very well off he was our M.P. for years , I had a small probelm with some partying students so called to see him? in my local cons club on the saturday lunch-time not a good idea, he was a bit under the weather, too many free whiskys and told me to go away, in a not very nice way???{ he had a few houses in my area let out to students} I did not know at the time , so was not happy about my gripe, I was asked to leave after a few choice words, were exchange He lost the next election? won by a labour rite a total waste of space he was clueless, The Tory M.P. became the chair of the new N.H.S. trust "Welsh" on £68,000 a year until he retired a few years ago jobs for the boys!!!

When Mrs Thatcher was selling off Sealink to her American Buddy James Sherwood , I wrote to our local MP , he wrote back , as a board member of British and Commonwealth , and w eknow what tubes that went down , and basically told me that I did not understand the shipping industry . What a pillock , I vote the next election fot the Havant JHot Bread Party , who had one policy to get more hot bread shops in the constituency , we moved boundaries soon after , and had Michael Mates for a few years , now we are Meon Valley , and we have a very good local MP .

some time ago, i think on the old site, i said that if an MP lost his seat(constituency) he was out, but if he was out he was allowed to go to another seat and get voted in again. this was so that if he was the PM or shadow PM he was still in. i said then that any MP must reside in that constituency for at least five years. this would stop MP's flitting from one nest to another and they would be more inclined to serve the place they lived in.
