Scallywag to cop: Oh ah um right, no problem, I'll put some of them back on the shelves. What comes next?
Some meaningless drivel, a badly executed punchline, another failed attempt at demonstrating how clever you are.... He does have a talent for it, at least he is good at something |

An MP should work for the taxpayer, not TV gameshows.

Just shows the level of intelligence of the people running our country. Hancock has the whip removed for going on TV. Braverman is promoted to minister for sending sensitive info on her private phone. You couldn't make it up. I very strongly suspect that was far from an oversight or accident on Braverman’s part. We already ‘know’ through the grapevine there was an almighty row over immigration and I do rather suspect the woman saw a golden opportunity to make an “error” and then do the honourable thing ministers do, it used to do, which is resign for their error, and in doing so dump a huge “this is how you take responsibility, but then you wouldn’t know how to do that would you” kicking. If you can’t see Fishi Rishy gave her back the job as a thank you for sticking the knife in ….. |

By the way, did you hear how much Hancock is being paid for going into the jungle? Apparently a cool £400,000. I still wouldn't do it. Oh I think I would, for that much |

Oh I think I would, for that much Mrs R and I have discussed this at length. We are both of the opinion that no amount of money would temp us to take part. Of course, that's safe in the knowledge that we're not going to be asked. I wonder how different it might be if we were shown £400,000 in cash and told, sign on the dotted line and it's all yours. |

I think that’s exactly the point. It is supremely unlikely either of us would be asked to partake in such a show. All I will say is that at the height of Nigel Lawsons stupidity over the extermination of dual income MIRAS relief, on the very eve of the end of dual tax relief for the sinful denied to the married, a prize teat in an XR3i rocked up to my door where he saw the “For Sale - SOLD” sign I had lazily not bothered to remove and burn from when we bought it and opened a briefcase in front of me with what he said was £65k in cash and offered it all plus a £25k mortgage payment on top if I would sell him my home there and then. We had bought it for HALF that the week before the budget. It and every home on the street would tank down to £55k in seven days time, giving me the choice of almost every home in the town currently on sale. The only thing that stopped me saying yes was the certain knowledge my body would be found the next morning in the railway cutting, bludgeoned to death by the wife for making her move again. If you did refuse and I got to hear of it, I would send you a case of whatever tipple you enjoy, as a mark of respect for one having such high standards, if you would accept it from one of far baser viewpoint |

At least in the jungle the moron can only harm himself and not cause more damage to the Country.

For £400,000 I would do it No MP should be able to, without resigning their seat. I'd apply the same standard to any of them. The now ex MP George Galloway, Nadine Dorries, doesn't matter who. When someone is employed by taxpayers to work for them, they should not be getting extra pay from a gameshow, or anywhere. |

When someone is employed by taxpayers to work for them, they should not be getting extra pay from a gameshow, or anywhere. If you feel that way, maybe you should start a campaign. It'll be a difficult though. MPs have always been allowed outside interests and jobs and I can't see them being too keen on giving that up completely In recent times rules have been tightened up, but its always been considered a potential benefit that MPs have some experience of the world outside of Parliament, and it could be argued that it is even more important these days given a lot of them come up through the ranks, rather than via the outside world like they used to in the past. |

I missed chancellor Lawson by some margin, and I had to google MIRAS. However, if I'm honest I'm pretty sure I wouldn't take the money. As attractive as it sounds, I would turn down the opportunity of flying to the other side of the world to eat some animal's eye's washed down with blended penis. And if you did hear about it, it's Glenmorangie.  |

When someone is employed by taxpayers to work for them, they should not be getting extra pay from a gameshow, or anywhere. I don’t know if that would really help. I guess the problem is I don’t know enough about what MPs do for the entries in their register of interests. Too many come to the ballot paper with no experience save working as an unpaid intern. I look back to my days as a postgrad and recall a researcher who was maybe a little too left wing and anti military for my liking, but he was a geologist who had done surveys all over the place for oil companies and come to work on alternative energy research and was standing for Labour in Tory safe seats to ‘show willing’ in hope of a miracle or a selection to a more likely seat. If he did make it at least the house would have had one on their side who understood what working for a pay packet meant. |

I've been to Australia, it would take more than £400,000 to make me go back there.
