can you trust them?

[la gran siete]

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following statistics?


29 have been accused of spouse abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing 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
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year



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

Does that include members of Sinn Fein?

Possibly the DUP as well

If it did include Sinn Fein members then I think that you have missed some things of your list because most of the Sinn Fein members that take up space in the commons have been in jail on serious charges including being caught with explosives, don't think many members of the DUP could say that.

I'll tell you who you can't trust....

People posting idiotic things like this without even the slightest of fact checking.

But one could say they fermented the hatred which ultimately led to the IRA ( as opposed to Sinn Fein)carrying out their crimes

Like who me? out of the 4 Sinn Fein members that go to the house of commons, 3 of them have been in Jail they are Martin Mcguinness, Gerry Adams, Connor Murphy the only one that has not been in jail is Michelle Guildernew. Connor Murphy was in Jail for IRA membership and being caught red handed with explosives, Martin Mcguinness was caught with a huge car bomb and thousands or rounds of ammunition and admited to the court that he was a proud member of the IRA, on the other hand Gerry Adams is an angel, every time he has ended up in jail it was a miscarriage of justice even though for a time in the H blocks he was OC in charge of cage 11.

EDIT - Oh there is another member of Sinn Fein that takes space at the commons he would be Pat Docherty, don't know if he has been in jail or anything about him but it would'nt surprise me if he had been in jail being the vice president of Sinn Fein.

Not you no. I should have quoted the person I was responding to sorry.

I was refering to the original post by LGS that was actually written 9 years ago about the American Congress and not about the UK House of Commons and for the most part it wasn't even true then.

Is that little gem actually true?

Of course not! We have enough bitterness in this country due to the media misrepresenting many issues without people posting rubbish like this. It would have taken him seconds to put a line of it into a search engine and see the same thing written about America, Canada, India, etc.
