just my thoughts about a few things

Obscenity

So our Home Secretary is said to be furious with Mr Smith. Was this because he has been found out watching "adult movies" whilst wifey is away protecting our citizens from cut-throats and muggers. After all it was Mrs Smith that put in the claim for her TV package with Virgin Media as part of her allowances windfall. Apart from the question as to why we should be paying for her TV package at all- there is a perfectly adequate free digital TV supply available, is it the case that the "blue movie" charge has just opened the door to the fact that we had been paying for her TV for some time and this new revelation has merely let the cat out of the bag? 

Ms Smith is also the Home Secretary that wants to tighten up the laws to protect women from the sex trade. Does she condone her husband watching these films or does she consider that the women  in them are as equally exploited as those who work in massage parlours or walk the streets. She has said " I want to do everything we can to protect the thousands of vulnerable women coerced, exploited or trafficked into prostitution in our country and to bring those who take advantage of them to justice.

"That is why I am determined to shift the focus onto the sex buyer, the person responsible for creating the demand for prostitution markets which in turn creates demand for the vile trade of women being trafficked for sexual exploitation"

Does the honourable lady consider that these late night escapades by Mr Smith equate in anyway with the lap dance customer and the curb crawler?  Or are "adult movies" a normal part of the Smith family weekend viewing pattern after a hard week in the House? 

Men will always be willing to pay for sex just as women will always be willing to have sex in return for favours, monetary or otherwise. The stately homes of England, and the House of landlords, are full of families descended from such principles. 

Mrs Smith, who's morals are not open to doubt after claiming around £100,000 in allowances for the occasional use of a room in her sister's house, perhaps needs to spend more time with her family, as the saying goes. 

The fact that Mrs Smith, and several of her cohorts have been caught with their pants down over their expenses, no doubt loaded down with doubloons, shows the lack of moral character amongst our elected members. Or is it just shear incompetence? But no doubt we do get the Government we deserve.

What does not surprise me as much as it should, is the fact that the Government, who we trust (?) to run the country, can't even think up a equitable method by which to pay those we elect to Govern us.

Oh yes, I remember now! Ms Smith has said that she didn't realise that the Broadband connection she had signed up to included a TV package. I hope she reads the small print a little better before she signs her ministerial papers.
