Further tales of feather-bedded politicians
Not entirely unreasonably, our MPs get redundancy packages of sorts when 'the people have spoken - the bastards', and I'm rather looking forward to a fair few tales of woe from unemployable Labour lobby fodder come the next election. However, most of them will slide into the quangos or otherwise find ways of making nuisances of themselves while leeching off the public purse.
However, in Sweden, things have been taken to a whole new level: there are ex MPs who have been ex MPs since the late 80s (yes, really) pulling in 'salaries' from the Riksdag of several thousand pounds a month. The silver lining to this is that it is Communists and Greens who have, delete as applicable, proved the most shiftless, lazy, unemployable, mooching etc.
Perhaps any of the numerous ex Swedish MPs reading this should pay heed to the many helpful suggestions made for new jobs for Labour ministers suggested here a while back.

As soon as i heard about oona kings ejection I thought , pound to a penny she will be on a quango within 3 months , and so she was, the smug patronising cow.
If you fancy causing some trouble, visit Oona King's website and note how at the top of the page (on the coloured bar) it says 'Welcome to the Oona King MP website'. I believe the Commons does not take kindly to such pretensions.
Further digging shows some quality spelling mistakes like 'biographys' and 'politcal' and my personal favourite, 'Betnal Green'. She also claims that she is the chair of the all party Great Lakes Region group. Her political biography page also has her down as PPS to Patricia 'very regular bowel movements' Hewitt.
Her interests include 'anti-social behaviour', so maybe she is a terror when she's been overdoing it on the Bacardi Breezers.
Theres a colour bar on Onan kings website????
Thanks for the oppurtunity to make two cheap jokes
