One down

Loads to go

Alcazar

BTW: shouldn't TB Liar go too, as he gave Blind Git his unswerving support? Is TB fit to run the country if he couldn't see this coming?

Ahh weak government bowing to media pressure

So, any guesses on when he'll pop out the woodwork again and resume another cabinet position?

Think I'll send the b*stard a cheese grater, and hope he bleeds to death trying to read it


Alcazar

BTW: he was the guy who PROMISED to resign if achievement levels didn't rise when he was minister for education, and then got moved to home secretary just before the results were announced. When they hadn't risen he refused to resign, saying he'd only promised to resign as educatiom mininister. Lying Labour again

I LOATHE the git!

Its ironic he resigns on the day an allegation appears that looks like nothing serious and pretty groundless (the Austrian Visa thing) but hasnt when the previous things did. Still he hadnt slagged off the entire cabinet before I suppose

I too would fully expect him to be back in a well paid governement job inside 6 months - less if the "inquiry" results in the usual bland whitewash within its limited scope and Labour win the the election.

Unfortunately I don't think it will be that long I will be more surprised if the lying dangerous scum is NOT back in a job by easter

By the by, This whole affair has actually lifted my very low impression of 'two jags'. Only very slightly but lifted non the less

Unhappy

Im afraid I think this is a sad day. The man has ball's, more than any other in Westminster. He said what he thought, it was the other muppets around him that would back down. Left to him, he would of sorted out immigration. Now watch the floodgates open!! We will have some f-----g nancy take over now.
All mandelson wanted to do was get Gerry Adams over his leather desk. Portillo ran before more truth's came out. Believe me Howard and his shirt lifters, the ginger sweaty from somewhere in the middle, can crow but we have lost a man.
The most irritating thing is a f-----g immigrant, he helped joined the band wagon. Deport her and all the others that moan how hard it is over here.
This will probably be removed incase of any come back, but I can promise you there are things that not even the gutter press have let out. There are people, that could bring down any government. They just adhere to the official secrets act.

Nothing wrong with the fella ...... the media hounded him out of office,

He'll be back and fighting soon enough - we need tough ministers like him and Labour to sort out the wimps!

ID Cards - EXCELLENT idea!! If I had my way I would extract DNA from EVERYONE, start with every baby born. Keep a massive database ................... imagine the crimes that could be solved within seconds???

And all those pikeys would get their DNA taken too - that'll put an end to their criminal ways!!

3 crimes and you would be executed .............. imagine a Britain relatively crime-free in 10 years time??

It could happen but we all need to get behind Labour, they are the ONLY chance we have!!
