http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8019745.stm – A debate on Gurkhas will be had as Lib Dem’s secure time

I wish I knew which article Newswire was trying to link to with his provocative headline, and I’d fix it…

Have the eeevil Tories killed any small animals too?

What have the Tories done?

Do you mean object to Brown’s off-the-cuff panicky proposals?

Did you see the YouTibe video btw?

Play it without sound – it’s hilarious…

And Lord knows, there’s nothing we Tories like more than killing.

In this case, though, Dave had to share the joy of kicking this one in with Lil’ Nicky Clegg from down the road. Dave sat on his head while Nicky stuck a boot in his groin.

whoopsie, link fixed! thanks Jennie.

Odd description – technically it would have been ‘expenses reform’ of course, but another way of putting it would have been ‘counterproductively giving away unaccountable free money, with it going disproportionately to MPs who live near London and don’t need the expenses’…

Andrew: but that would have been FAR too long!
