    29 have been accused of spouse abuse



    7 have been arrested for fraud



    19 have been accused of writing bad cheques



    117 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 drunk driving last year







    Can you guess which organisation this is?

    It's the 535 members of the Houses of Parliament. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

    Yawn

    This is the same email which has being doing the rounds when it was originally the US Congress.

    It is was also absolute bunk when published then.

    It is also meaningless because it provides no date. So could refer to anyone from a number of years.

    see http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/congress.htm where you can see the original version of the email!



    Yawn again

      It's transparent bunk because it even says 535 people: that's the number of US members of congress, not the number of UK MPs.

      Enough of this American rubbish! Let us make our own.

          New Labour
          The conservative party
          The Liberal Democrats
          The TUC
          The BNP (Note that I put the BNP after the TUC simply because I think that the TUC are far more dangerous to the 'hard-working families' in the country)
          The BBC
          The Democrat Party
          The Republican party
          The UN

          oh, come on Zathras, you'll have to give us more of a clue.
          Why not?

            Why would being a defendent in a lawsuit make someone a bad person?

                It is entirely irrelevant whether or not these are facts or whether somebody made it all up. On any level that really matters it is all true.

                  There are 646 MPs. 535 relates to the members of the US Congress (as I think Expat has already pointed out).

                  Still, nice try.

                    Oh for chrisake, not another "sensible" opinion based on "fact". I always thought you had more sense Mordac! Looook! They are politicians!!! They are therefore guilty of absolutely everything they are accused of by definition!!! They are corrupt self-seeking self serving bastards!!!! There is absolutely nothing in the entire universe that is not their fault! Dodgy deserves post of the month for this one as it is patently true, or at least partially true, the truth is clearly much worse.

                    PS This is BUDGET week. I want everyone to think thoughts of HATE directed at Gordon-Fat-Ugly-Rumoured-To-Be-(Alledgedly)-Bent-Scottish-Lying-Bastard-Brownstuff. I want him to shrivel up at the dispatch box with the great waves of HATE flowing from the ether!
