Default Fact

I bet this makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! This is unbelievable, but can you imagine working for a company that has little more than 600 employees and has the following employee statistics........ 29 have been accused of spouse abuse...... 7 have been arrested for fraud..... 9 have been accused of writing bad cheques..... 17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses.... 3 have done time for assault....... 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit..... 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges...... 8 have been arrested for shoplifting...... 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits....... 84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year and collectively, this year alone, they have cost the British tax payer £92,993,748 in expenses!!!.......... Which organization is this? ......... It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line. .......... And, just to top all that, they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country!!


Sorry if its a Sial.

First thing I do when emailed something such as this is do a google search on some of the words in the text. For this one, I searched, "It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks." This brought up loads of other people who had posted this same thing on various forums, but also the fact it was started in the US in 1999. That alone would lead me to believe it was made up rubbish.
