Westminster's new low.

I did a tractor search,ten pages and not a scrap of bare flesh in sight 

Oh well perhaps I should plough through another ten......
I'll get my coat 

Where I am at the moment will only give me access to the trailer...

Try Googling hard core for your drive and see what you get 😂

I remembered this joke and found a half decent version:



Mick walks into Paddy's barn and catches him dancing naked in front of a tractor. Mick says, "Oh, no, Paddy, what ya doing?"

Paddy says, "Well me and Mary haven't been getting on in the bedroom lately & the therapist recommended I do something sexy to a tractor."

Angela Rayner is accused of using leg movements to put Boris off. Someone has been spotted on the Conservative benches viewing porn during proceedings. A Labour front bencher reckons that a woman MP is a secret weapon since MPs want to bed her, while Ben Wallace considers the bars poisonous. Whatever is Westminster coming to?

Has Politics in this country sunk so low that only the dross of society considers it a worthwhile occupation? Is the lack of accountability at the top percolating down through the ranks to the point that no-one has any thought for standards of behaviour which could well be a sackable offence in the real world?

As I have said on here before

There is no record in Hansard because it was a conversation reputed to have taken place on the terrace. But Gladstone and Disraeli are supposed to have had a dialog that went

''i predict, Sir, that you will die alone and unloved, or in a bedlam asylum driven mad by some vile social disease"

"I believe, Sir, that which of those two await me depends heavily on whether I choose to embrace your political views, or your mistress"


There is no record of this but none other than Black Rod assured the 18 year old me on a visit to the Commons organised by the sitting MP in the constituency that this really did happen.

The 40 and 50 year old me saw first hand how dirty politics gets. Nothing surprises me any more.

Nearly everyone sits with their legs crossed at times and after a while it's normal to shift position, which involves uncrossing and re-crossing one's legs. Most MPs probably do that including (shock horror) male MPs. It's a somewhat old-fashioned notion held by men of a certain age that women crossing and uncrossing their legs is a sexual signal when, in truth, it's a normal everyday thing that all humans do if they're sitting for a prolonged period - unless they're driving a vehicle of course!

Even ducks do it.

Well now we know Neil Parish was the bloke watching porn in the commons ,silly man will probably get the honourable order of the boot.

Right there you have a case for automatics — two pedal and crutchless driving...

It's probably better than it has ever been, just the internet and news is on overdrive these days. Same with the royals, they're no worse than they have ever been, now every person is a walking journalist with a camera. No where to hide.

Perhaps I am out of sinc with others but I am so disappointed. I want my politicians to go into Westminster to do a serious job of work. I don't want them to be dull and they should of course let their hair down like everyone else, but not on my time. While they are in Westminster I need serious, sensible minds doing the job they are paid for. It's not as if they have a brilliant record up to now and mistakes and misjudgements are coming thick and fast. While they treat their job and Westminster as some sort of holiday club they are not worthy of their calling.

To be honest, I'm beginning to wonder if the UK believes it is entering a new Victorian era — ie, decrying what's easy to identify and criticise — even harmless activities — but not too worried about what's kept hidden...

I don't think it is something we should take lightly, particularly the suggestion that Angela Rayner was showing her ankles in mixed company.

Apparently our Ang was also dancing the night away with Starmer. I am not so sure that will have a negative effect. Sir Stodge is such a dreary bastard that the news that he has been drinking Newcastle Brown out of Mrs Rayner's socks might well show his human side and increase his popularity.

It was interesting to hear Tom Harwood on GB news accusing people in the HoC of being perverts.
I switched it off at that point.
