Why do we need this Westminster Parliament?
|
The year is 2050. This large Gothic building on the Thames was once a proud example of Great Britain's heritage but now it has fallen into ruin. |
|
A central hall, divided by a long, cracked table, has benches on either side, all covered in mildewed, faded green leather. At the end of the hall is a large throne, bulging with threadbare cushions (one of which has burst open to reveal a wad of antique pound notes). The rain pours in through holes in the roof and forms puddles on the rotting carpet. This building, once called The Houses Of Parliament, is dead. The British people eventually lost patience... |

The reason it is dead is that the British people eventually lost patience with the greed and corruption exhibited by M.P.'s and they abolished the impotent institution. They finally realised that all the country's laws were now made by the EU and were simply forwarded to Westminster in the form of orders to be followed without protest. A better system was brought in: a group of Civil Servants checked the EU laws for spelling and grammar and then forwarded them on to County Councils, who put the laws into effect. A few redundant M.P.'s were good enough to get jobs with the County Councils but the majority were last seen selling fish at Billingsgate. The financial savings were colossal and Income Tax was reduced by nearly 5 pence in the pound. My gripe is therefore simple: why do we continue to support and pay for this redundant Westminster Parliament? By: Oracle2008 |

More to the point we fort the second world war to keep out the Germans from England and now you would like to hand us on a plat to them who are trying to sneak in by the back dower.
A long with the french who would like to turn us in to part of France, all because of Waterloo and the fact they lost, we will not change the name one off our most famous rail stations in London it strange that they for get that we thought for there freedom and now they would like up all this, and why so they can get richer.

We have a Parliament that governs on be half of the people which we elect and of the crown,
if we gave up thees and let the EU pass the laws we would loss our indecency and just become a stat.
For me this would unforgivable and I am proud to being British and loyal to the Crown.
We all know that the EU is bleeding us dry along with others, it was for trading only but then I can not say who decide to extort country's of money and miss use it.
And this will never happen now or in your written past as the EU has become a Far's

Though shall not covet thy neighbouring opposition MP's ass. Honour thy mother (and father) of all Parliaments. Worship the lord thy god, Mammon.
Do not make any grave image, forged notes are OK.
Do not break the Sabbath. Ok take 4 months holiday every year instead.

It has been suggested that the Ten Commandments should be posted on the walls of Parliament and in every court in the country. Nice idea, but it's been rejected. It was felt that posting 'Thou shalt not steal', 'Thou shalt not commit adultery' and 'Thou shall not bear false witness' in buildings full of lawyers, judges and politicians would create a hostile work environment.

DSG – This originated in 1999 in the US on a website called Capitol Hill Blue, it never referred to the British Parliament and it was not even true of the American government then. It is just one of those apocryphal stories passed on in emails by the gullible.

• 29 have been accused of domestic violence

• 19 have been accused of bouncing 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
• 4 have been arrested on drug-related charges

Which organization is this?
It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that churns out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
B******s.

In Oracle's scenario, parliament has been made redundant by a decision of the people. Once full integration into the Franco German Empire is complete, however, there should be no further need for an administration any larger than a couple of adjoining port a cabins could accommodate, though the process that brings this about will not have involved the British People.

We don't really need a Great Big Building to House over 600 MPs DO WE?
If they were to Gut it out and make it into a Hotel it would be of Good Use,and perhaps?give the Ordinary People in London and surrounding Areas Job's.
Or if Westminister Council do not like the Sound of that how about making it into Affordable Homes for families that cannot pay Large Mortgages?
,Mr cameron doesn't want Council Tenants living in there Council Houses for Life,so Let's Make the Houses of Parliament into Homes for Kicked out Council Tenants,at least they would Benifit from it rather than living in Council Properties that {some of them} were Built in the 1919s and are never going to get anything done to them,Like my daughters House in Burnt Oak,Edgware.

If we got rid of West Minister? The EU would take over and dictate to us and the valuable common law that we are used to would go and we would be under 90,000 new laws under the Lisbon treaty with Napolean way of thinking which would be far worse for the UK. We must not let the West Minister building go as one law we can hold on to, that is Magner Carter 61 Lawful Rebellion, once that goes you might as well hand your butt over for the police to have they way. It not West Minister we got to get rid of, it the ones that devaluing our rights to live our lives the way we want. So we must interpret that we must make sure West Minister is strong to keep the European Union at bay. I would like one day we could come together but not the procedures that taking place with EU and America behind close doors that taking our rights away.

Who needs our Parliament? Just turn on the Parliamentary TV channel on Freeview and you would think you have turned on Dave TV: two stand up comics performing a ridiculous comedy duo. an Abbott and Costello, a Laurel and Hardy show, while a Parliamentary chamber full overpaid, bloated sheep look on. Just think of the cost of the show and all its expenses. You are paying for this nonsense, and all it is is Repeats. The real business is never touched upon.

Gordon Brown's leaving present
__________________________
Gordon Brown decided to resign.
His colleagues decided to name a railway locomotive after him. So a civil servant went from Whitehall to the Railway Museum at York, to investigate the possibilities.
"They have a number of locomotives at the NRM without names," a consultant told the civil servant. "Mostly freight locomotives though."
"Not very fitting for a prime minister", said the official. "How about that big green one, over there?" he said, pointing to 4472.
"That's already got a name" said the consultant. It's called 'Flying Scotsman."
"Oh. Couldn't it be renamed?" asked the official. "This is a national museum after all, funded by the taxpayer."
"I suppose it might be considered" said the consultant.
"That's excellent", said Sir Humphrey, "So that's settled then... let's look at renaming 4472. But how much will it cost? We can't spend too much, given the expenses scandal."
"Well", said the consultant, "We could always just paint out the 'F'...".

Let's have a vote. Who's worse? The Great Train Robbers or The government or The nation's bankers?
Who's worse? The Kray Brothers? The government or the nation's nankers?
Who deserves to be locked away forever?
Would Broadmoor suit any of them?

Have we forgotten the crooked bankers? Are we so incensed with our corrupt MPs that we have forgotten that they only stole a few bob, and not the nation's heritage?
Forget the Pratt's proposal. We need 500 years of foreign domination to rid our country of its present Godless establishment. Oh Serbia how honest were you!

Mugabe´s government is more honest. I didn´t imply that they are any better than your lot. They are a bunch of thieving self-interested conmen. Just like Westminster.
The difference is that nobody expected anything different there, whereas in a so-called Western democracy one has higher hopes.

I have been to work today and you know what, I feel much better for it. I really feel like I have done my bit, I have contributed.
I would be feeling like I had let the side down and more importantly, myself if I ever began to think I'd not assisted the home secretary, Jacqui Smith and her husband Richard Timney to the lifestyle they so deserve.
If my humble and wretched contribution permits Richard only thirty seconds viewing of adult material on Pay Per View at his own home in Redditch then, my contributory efforts were not in vain.
What an honour it would be if Richard was to call upon me. I would be on all fours, be his human footstool whilst he viewed his favourite channels on his TV.
I have the honour to be your obedient servant.
