It is shocking. mrtbag posted a link to this earlier today (A Golden Opportunity not to be missed !) but thanks for bringing it back to the surface. I think it's an appalling abuse of public money!

There are MP's with a worse performance record than GG....

GG http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?...=yes#divisions

he could be doing a lot worse....http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?...play=everyvote with expenses being inversely proportional...http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/ger..._west#expenses

You are paying for this as well.

Will a mod kindly remove the word "gorgeous" from the thread title?

Not setting a good example to kids...no lying and all that

In George's defence, at least he turned down the offer of an orgy from Jodie Marsh

Mods: if that word can be printed in a national newspaper, it can be allowed on a forum

An aspect of Jodie's behaviour that didnt endear her to the rest of the house
At least he was sensible to know it was a wind up.Imagine the reaction of his constituency if he had succumbed

Hmmmmmm..... Considering his track record with women, that says less about him and more about the repulsive MS Marsh tbh.

Anyone saw the so-bizarre-it's-funny female cat impression George did last night? Probably a bit late posting this as it's all over the newspapers now. If he had any credibility before he went into Big Brother, he ain't got any now

(Wonder if the wags at Westminster will leave a saucer of milk out for him on his return to the commons )
