Unbelievable?

This is unbelievable, but true!

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following employee statistics .

29 have been accused of spouse abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

9 have been accused of writing bad cheques

17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year

Which organisation is this ?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in-line.

What a bunch of *******s we have running our country - it says it all. And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country!!

    I don't believe it. I saw this doing the rounds on another forum 12 months ago.

    Just another piece of internet chain nonsence.

    Oh I'm sure you're right and that nice Matthew Parris is another great advocate of cyclists and cycling.

    The original post is an interesting collection of subjective allegations not derived from any researched data and originally circulated as a description of US senate members.

    Still, we do like to believe the worst of our elected leaders - maybe we should stop voting for them.

    I think Clarkson is quite smart and knows what he can get away with, and he knows who his audiance is. I still don't think I'd let myself say some of the things he does, especially about the environment. So even though I enjoy his programs, I have to conclude that he's a c**k :)
    Why not? My bikes.

  • I used to be posted in parliament protection a few years back and I can vouch that some of those in there are the most arrogant, abusive, rude, obnoxious, un-law abiding people I have ever met. I know 100% fact that they regularly drink-drive (even drink-cycle!) I've been told to f*ck off on more than one occasion and got spoken to like dirt on a daily basis. Biggest pile of hypocrits! Don't get me started about the Lords!

    To go back to Clarkson, yes, he is indeed a knob, not to mention a coward who hides behind a camera or a newspaper column to take his cheap shots.

    Replace "parliament protection" with "France" and "Lords" with "Canadians"!

    Winston Churchill was kicked out of offfice, drank a quart of whiskey each morning and dabbled with opium.
  • And Clarkson goes up even further in my esteme with his highly accurate description of Gordon Brown! :D

    My brother sent me a similar thing a while back, only it was about the U.S.Congress.
    I have my doubts about it, but then again there are some sleazy politician's out there.
