Politicians To Stand Trial In Criminal Court

Paddy Samurai

No not here in Ireland..........unfortunately,that kind of thing does'nt happen in our Banana republic.
One thing I admire about the brits they deal with their wayward politicians more seriously than we do here.

Three former Labour MPs and a Tory peer will stand trial in a criminal court accused of fiddling their expenses, a judge has ruled.

What's that phrase again ? "Chance would be a fine thing"

We can live in hope, I guess, but in this banana republic they'd probably get a promotion from their superiors! :mad:

They take this stuff very serious in the UK unlike here.

Not to mention compo for loss of office, if they had the decency to resign.
