*Up Against The Wall Motherfuckers

Politicians, you can't live with them and you can't shoot them. Well not often in this country, although didn't some Liberal MP get attacked by a nutter with a Samurai Sword not so long ago? Yes in fact he did! (Google's amazing isn't it "Samurai Liberal MP" and Bob's yer uncle) Given Kennedy's current difficulties, its not surprising Liberals are wary around any kind of sharp blade. The really bizarre part of the whole affair though is that up until now his parliamentary colleagues have been well aware of Charlie's fondness for the odd dram. They've been happily covering it up for years, now its out there, they want shot of him. If anyone was under the illusion that Lib Dems were some sort of squeaky clean alternative to the mudslinging that was two party politics then its time to think again. They're obviously just another bunch of back stabbing bastard politicians.

What's with George Galloway. Wasn't he elected to represent people in Parliament as opposed to arse about as a TV celebrity? Is this another "Carnal Knowledge" moment or has he calculated the air-time he'll get and the numbers of viewers who would never watch a party political broadcast. Has he a) Shot himself in the Foot b) Pulled a Shrewd Propaganda Coup or c) Shamelessly promoted the Galloway Personality Cult?
