		<description>Agreed McFeagle. 
But Westminster has to be re-named &#039;The English Parliament&#039;
If the MP&#039;s from Wales, Scotland and N.Ireland are removed, that would be a reduction of 120 approx. 
I would have thought a Parliament of 300 would be plenty for England alone.</description>

		<description>&quot;We have a situation created by Scots Politicians&quot; ?? 

Err not rally - it was created and maintained by every single member of the wasteminster parliament  irrespective of where they came from . Some are outright rogues and charlatans, but the majority are guilty of not doing something about it. I don&#039;t give a tinkers cuss about where they come from every single manjack of them needs to be kicked out and start again. 
The whole damn system needs to be reviewed, with a reduced number of MP&#039;s, strict rules about expenses, public accountability , total FOI on everything. With no Scottish or Welsh MPs elected to the Westminster parliament , but representatives from the Scottish &amp; Welsh parliaments when UK issues are being discussed. 
And NO party whips .. the party politics that we have now is disgraceful with local MPs being forced to vote for the party not their constituents. 

National Election NOW !</description>

		<description>Oh yes, the English are to blame. What else is new? Wait a minute. I am shocked. Mr anti-English Galloway has actually thought up something original. Well, when else have you heard the scots blaming &quot;English snobs&quot; for one of their fellow scots demise? Of course, it was English snobs who forced Michael Martin, to take his wife on taxpayer-funded trips costing £150,000. English snobs coerced them into going to (1)Hawaii, (2)the Bahamas, (3)New York and (4)Rome. Each was approved by a Commons committee, which he chaired. [Which he chaired????????? Unbelievable!!] No doubt it was English snobs who made Michael Martin watch porn films to! 

Mary Martin ran up a bill of almost £25,000 on foreign flights. In addition she spent £24,000 flying from the couple’s Glasgow home to their grace-and-favour apartment in Westminster.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that Mrs Martin claimed a total of £23,885 to pay for regular return flights between Glasgow and London.
The figure has risen steadily and reached £9,033 last year or more than £250 a week for the eight months that Parliament was in session.
Mrs Martin also received £24,485 for foreign flights when accompanying her husband on ten official trips during the three-year period.

It was disclosed that Mrs Martin has claimed £4,280 from public funds to pay for taxis to take her shopping.
Glasgow MP Martin and wife Mary have jetted off on 16 jaunts in six years. Mrs Martin went with her husband on all but one of his official trips. Mark Wallace, of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said: “It’s an insult to tax - payers that the Speaker and his wife have been gallivanting around the world at our expense. 

Mr Martin switched the Air Miles earned on official business to help pay for business class return flights for seven relatives from Glasgow to London for a new year break in 2008. 

I won’t even mention the millions he used to “refurbish” his home! 

Officials said figures covering Mr Martin’s first four years in the Speaker’s chair were not available.

What a surprise that is. I wonder how much they got away with!

What about this for scottish snobbery or...who is the real snob here?

“...Mr Martin’s diary secretary, Charlotte Every, who had worked amicably with Speaker Boothroyd, was forced out. The Speaker called her a “typical Sloane” who probably voted Tory. Sir Nicolas Bevan, his private secretary, went next, amid claims he was “too pompous”. The contract of the Serjeant at Arms, the respected Maj Gen Peter Grant Peterkin, was not renewed after a series of arguments.”
“Typical Sloane”? “Too pompous”? “probably voted Tory”? Merely code for English so and so&#039;s isn’t it? Of course there’s also the small matter of people being able to vote for who THEY want; not who, the obviously bigoted, speaker approves of. I find it hypocritical and offensive in the extreme for him to whine about being labelled Gorbals Mick. I would say the typical sloane slur is the equal of Gorbals mick. 

It was Mr Martin who was responsible for the abysmal performance of the Commons fees office which failed to monitor MPs’ allowances. The fees office has also been complicit in assisting MPs to make wrongful claims on their mortgages.
It was Mr Martin who used £150,000 of taxpayers’ money in a four-year High Court legal battle in an attempt to block the publication of MPs’ expenses under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. 

What really amazes me is how these corrupt, indefensible, gold-diggers get into power in the first place. I suppose we should be keeping an eye on them more.</description>

		<description>Ooh, I love a bit of English snobbery. Annie Walker of Coronation Street was my first TV role model. Living in the gutter like wot I did, the only way to look was up. But Michael Martin went because he was an arrogant twerp, not because of snobbery. Basically, he was one of the Chief twerps in a parliament full of twerps.</description>

		<description>We English need to be rid of Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem MPs. They have all systematically and deliberately failed the English people.

I don&#039;t care which party each English votes for as long as it is not Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem. 

The CEP is not party political, but there is nothing wrong with urging people not to vote for the parties which have failed England so dismally, and urging people to vote against these same parties in the Euro elections.

Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem are extremist parties motivated by malice against England and the English people.</description>
