    MP's fears of expenses 'suicide'

    I'll give them the rope to do it

    Already done with mixed responses.

    In short, is it inhuman to wish an MP dead?

      Since they are barely human anyway then the answer is no.

      Put it another way, a ship is sinking and there is only room for one more passenger in the lifeboat.

      Do you choose the MP, the Recruitment Consultant or the puppy ?

      No brainer really.

      At least the puppy has an excuse.

      And yes, I really do hate the other two, I'm not joking. They are untersmench.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        Odd isn't it.
        They seem to be looking for public sympathy here but there seems to be very little.
        The buzz seems to be that it is their own fault, they have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

        There have been a whole host of suicides attributed directly to Government policy and the official response has been "it is sad but innevitable". Why should we give any other response to them?
        I am not qualified to give the above advice!
