poohbear 1,360 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 So Maria Miller has resigned...surprise surprise...but...Andrew Lansley, the Leader of the Commons, has rejected calls for the complete reform of the parliamentary standards system, telling MPs that making the Commissioner for Standards wholly independent of Parliament would mean it was no longer covered by parliamentary privilege. So the system of MPs policing themselves continues....Next time you're stopped for speeding,you won't go before a judge.Your sentence will be decided by your mates and family.What a joke!

Cliff Ton 10,488 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Only from her post, unfortunately. As quoted in the other thread, it's amazing that Cameron is being sympathetic towards her http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26951464 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
