Alan Johnson steps down

Mad Roadie

curious and curiouser!

an affair suggests the BBC, with a policeman - that must have "come out of the blue" then :shock:

Think you will find that it was his wife having the affair with the policeman.

Never mind.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story!

Mad Roadie

the next news is he will have recently bought a pizza, but shows no evidence of cooking it - what was that all about?

every pizza buyer is at risk, or a suspect?

daviesee

Getting the munchies yet? :twisted:

I was enjoying the rather obvious Johnson out, Balls in yesterday.

I think we need a thoughtful article in the mail retracing the steps of his policeman

I wonder if that would end up pre-empting the headline Johnson out, balls in? :twisted:

That must be a 1st then - an MP with morals?
Unlike those two faced liars on question time last night, Alistair Campbell, Simon Hughes and Caroline Spelman! Love him or hate him George Galloway does seem to have a point about the iraqi war.

Agreed, at least he was open in his admiration for Saddam

To display your moral courage you have to lose your job when your wife has an affair with a policeman who is meant to be protecting you?

Can't help feeling sorry for the chap, has always seemed a genuine sort.

Caroline Spelman got a pasting on QT last night. Good.

They all did really, except Galloway. I got the impression that they were all crapping themselves just 'cos he was there. Alistair Campbell seemed to be picking a fight with anyone just to keep Galloway out of the conversation and from picking on him..

I heard that Alan Johnson advised his wife to use Protection for sex but obviously failed to define the term.

Concur that he appears to be a genuine sort, unlike that idiot Bliar who is so slimy.
Good job he was in opposition though as he seemed to have little idea of his
facts and was arrogant enough to think he could read enough over a weekend to be
competent.
Should've concentrated more on his home life.
More worrying however is that the two Eds are both Brown cronies.

brin

Even more worrying is that 'slimey-fingers in every Dept.- arsehole' peter mandelson is keeping a low profile

Blimey, I had honestly totally forgotten about that horrid turd! Then again, Gordon Brown seems to have disappeared completely too (must have bought one of them there invisibility clokes).

Le Commentateur

Doesn't this come on the heels of the revealtions about the undercover policeman having a relationship with one of the "eco-terrorists" he was supposed to be embedded with (Hmmm, wait a sec...) ?

So do these plods think they are James Bond? What amateurs, eh?

OffTheBackAdam

Bonking both Johnson's wife & his secreatary!
If he were Italian, he'd be trainee Prime Minister material!
