Busted.  Yep, that's the word which first sprung to mind when I read the Sunday Times's expose of MPs and their dirty lobbying work.  Hoon, Hewitt, Byers – they're all revealed as providing influence and access for cash, and a lot of cash at that.  But it's Byers who comes out of it the worst.  You can read his story here, but suffice to say that it in...

Yes, I do dislike politicians. Some days they just make me laugh, other days they make me angry. To my mind, most who go into politics do so for two reason - MONEY and POWER.

It's not about money. Life isn't about money. It's about how you spend the 655,200 hours you are given (no guarantees, mind) before you become absolutely nothing once again A quote from Old Holborn in the comments to the previous post. He's right, and I have to admit it gave me pause to realise it. I'm still thinking it through so this might ramble a bit. Politics and mone...
