Perp plundering

Cynics are wondering if the coppers with body cameras who did over the Mandelsleaze residences with a meeja presence will sneak the stuff back when they find nothing new in the ‘boxes of evidence’ removed for clicking cameras.
    And how much the whole stunt will cost the taxpayer.

When asked if she wanted to move up from deputy to PM, she said: “No chance. It would age me 10 years in 6 months.”
    So just another Labour liar? No one surprised by something like that from the woman who kept yelling: “Tory sleaze!”, and failed to pull off a stamp duty dodge on her £800K seaside holiday home. And who still hasn’t paid the £40K owed because the tax mob are being made to drag their little feet.

Masses of me-too

Amazing, isn’t it. Some film actress recalls a fling with an older male star (now deceased) and the newspaper scribe has her own older bloke story to fill up the majority of her page. No, a whole bunch of flings!

‘Nick’ out of it

The criminal fantasist C. Beech, who bamboozled gullible coppers with tales of a VIP paedophile and murder ring, is out of gaol (see Operation Midland).
    He has been confined for less than half of his 18-year sentence thanks to Labour leniency.
● Former Labour deputy leader T. Watson collected a peerage despite his part in the scandal.

More cluelessness

Repairing the crumbling Palace of Westmonster will take 19 to 24 years and cost £16 billion if MPs, peers and their hangers-on  can be moved elsewhere. Otherwise, with that lot getting in the way, the job won’t be completed until 2087 at the earliest and the bill will top £40 billion.
    The result of the planned changes, according to former MP J. Rees-Mogg, will be something that looks like a tart’s boudoir, not restoration.

Medically misleading

How much can you trust the people in the world of medicine? A review of the side-effects attributed to statins has found that 94% have been bogusly blamed on statins and lotz more people could benefit from them. As well as the manufacturers.

Elfishness no excuse

I was interested to read that Alton Towers has stopped people with ADHD disability cards from jumping the queues for scary rides, and I agree with the observation that it’s weird that people with genuine anxiety who can’t cope with the real world would want to be on one in the first place.
