Unbelievable!!!!!

Can you imagine working for an organization that only has a little more than
635 employees, but has the following employee statistics?

29 have been accused of spouse abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
9 have been accused of writing bad cheques
17 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 various lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year

And collectively, this year alone, they have cost the British tax payer
£92,993,748 in expenses!!!

Which organisation is this?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons. The same group that cranks
Out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
What a bunch of crooks we have running our country - it says it all...

And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension
Scheme in the country - whilst trying to ensure that everyone else has the
Worst possible!!

Disgraceful behavior. I will write to my MP and see if we can't get a stop to this.... no, wait.

'zackly!

two words: Silvio Berluconi.

Sounds like the U.S. Congress

Many politicians the world over display worryingly similar characteristics.....

The problem's twofold: First in order to become a politician you have to believe that you know what's best for people and how they should run their lives, which is always a dangerous and usually wrong assumption.
Second it seems that even if you really do care, know what you're doing and you only went into politics to genuinely help people it doesn't matter, because it seems that power really does corrupt you. http://www.cracked.com/article_18777_5- ... ecommended"

I thought they were talking about our parliament. One of our former ministers spent last night in custody as part of a fraud investigation.

Because it's mostly misinformation, and wasn't even originally written about the UK House of Commons

Thanks for posting that, DJBenz. I was hoping someone had fact checked it!

I use the same principles as most politicians, never let the facts get in the way of a good story...
