Otherwise, a spot on observation I think you are confusing "supporting" with "being supported by". You also fail to say that MPs should not need schmoozing in order to get them to do their jobs properly.  Other than that, a spot on qualification to Alch's observation.

Haha.  That was my first thought.  My second was that it took him five days to think of his response. That's quite sad.  My third thought was to wonder why he's being so consistently rude these days.  I do hope he's alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
