Guess Who?

I don't know how many of the revelations about our MPs' fiddling of their expenses have reached elsewhere in the world.

One former minister, Elliott Morley, MP for Scunthorpe, has been exposed as having received £16,000 for a mortgage that had already been paid off.

In my youth there was a TV advert which went, "Who put the T(ea) in Britain? Guess who?

Typhoo!"

There grew up an alternative jingle which went, "Who put the 'cunt' in Scunthorpe?" but there was no answer till now:

Guess who? The voters.

  1. Very timely ... especially since "teabagging" is now a term used to describe ultra right-wing douchebags here in the states! LOL

  3. I'm sorry, but it makes me feel better that in other countries most of the politicians are crooks too.
