    Cabinet minister Francis Maude promises action after lobbying scandal

    "The Government will bring in a statutory register of lobbyists and give voters the powers to sack disgraced MPs, Cabinet minister Francis Maude has said. "

    It's completely unacceptable that fake lobbying firms can run stings at ease - it's time to make politics safer with the register of those who are allowed to pay politicians money.

    Francis Maude is the guy who was promising all the IT business leaders, CTO's, MD's of the big consultancies, etc that if the Conservatives won they would keep the uncapped ICT work visa tap wide open to allow ever more Indian nationals to come in and work in the IT industry, all done under "Chatham house rules". While at the same time the party was telling the public they were going to control immigration. The man is a two faced liar.

        He is a politician for sure, but to be fair to all lying politicians in this case it's entirely possible he was telling the truth.

          It's possible I'll win the lottery. Whether it's probable is a different matter.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
