Tacqui Smith

Sorry David. If you can say it to a police officer and not get arrested it doesn't count.

[BigPhil]

wonder if there were any tits , on the movies watched?

or were all the "tits" in the house of commons at the time

[bigbadwolf]

I don't know Phil but I'm sure there were plenty of cnuts in both the movie and house of commons.

Why is everyone asuming that it couldn't have been Taqui Jaqui knocking one out whilst watching porn? I am sure they said Mr Taqui wasn't at home on that particular evening.

[Marmora Man]

Evening Standard alleges it was the young 15 year old Master Taqui that rented the fillum - Mr Taquie simply took the bullet for him.

[LegalEagle-ish]

Not sure why it would look better for you husband to be watching gay porn than your teenage son.

[Marmora Man]

Children less able to handle the prurient press furore?

Getting back to the original subject, I just had a look at what is on offer on Virgin

There are hundreds of moved of seemingly all different 'variations' for ?5 or ?6

however.... you can also get a WHOLE nights viewing of certain channels for ?5. I am guessing these come up as 'additional feature' also.

I never knew there was so much - I have teenage boys in the house - crikey!! ::o

Not sure how anyone know what exactly was ordered

[david_carnell]

Marvellous. My girlfriend has just ordered Virgin media.

Good work beardy-Branson.

Oh, and to keep BBW happy, er... Pissflaps! There, I can swear too. Nothing serious or academic to see here.

Oh god, what have I become?

Polly Toynbee getting all over the EDF...

But keep all this in perspective. Our politicians are among the cleanest in the world - 16th out of 180 nations and bunched less than two points from the top, according to Transparency International. Below us are the US, Belgium, France and Spain. But from the uproar, MPs stretching expense rules has been made to look like the pork barrel, backhander and bribery scams that plague other countries.

Let's repeat this: our MPs are rarely corrupt. Our feral press, however, finds growing transparency and freedom of information - brought in by Labour - offers easy meat for cheap stories. These hyped up "scandals" are frivolous compared with serious investigations such as arduous and risky revelations on company tax avoidance. If only more newspapers gave the same space to investigating opaque corporate bad behaviour that they devote to expos?s of minor MPs' misdemeanours. Eternal trivia is not eternal vigilance.

[mockney piers]

Ahead of "US, Belgium, France and Spain" where political corruption is endemic. Hardly reassuring.

There was a time we never strayed out of the top ten, I think we've every right to nip a consistently downward trend in the bud.

Of course its FoI that's the problem, doh!!! Stupid me, stupid stupid stupid.
