For fighting in a bar at Parliament. Again.

Interesting. So he'll be an independent for two years.

[Pesty]

What a prick that guy is.

[Victor McDade]

Again!

Very sad, really.

Although he was, obviously, of the Red Tie persuasion, I remember him being quite an eloquent, informed and committed politician in his early days - but those days are far behind him now.

It would appear he hasn't managed to address the personal issues he mentioned after the last incident, and if this arrest leads to a conviction, hard to see how he could expect to remain as an MP until 2015.

Labour dropped him after the first one. However I here even the independents party don't want him;)

Can't stand fighty drunks.

He preferred a high speed Nokia to the head.

How does one go about drunkenly fighting him for his seat?

The Sports and Social Club was said to be packed for its regular karaoke night at the time of the incident.

And next up Gordon Brown singing Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eye Off You

Sorry, that's terrible, unoriginal and dated - but it is almost 4am. I'm sure you can all come up with better!

Hang on - this was a House of Commons bar, and they were having a Karaoke night?! Okay. And what night has the Vatican bar got the strippers in?

Is it worth the effort?

As a person living in the Falkirk area (didn't vote for the tosser) I would be happy to see this idiot removed from the country and all his supporters when I hear them saying hes the next best thing since sliced bread

It could lead to a potentially interesting thread on what songs the politicians would sing.

It could indeed. Especially if anyone has written a song entitled ''I'm a lying, cheating, thieving bd,(please take my points)''

[MartG]

[tongueincheek]Obviously the availability of cheap booze in the Commons bar caused this - I think they need to slap a minimum charge on drinks in there that will discourage this sort of behaviour[/tongueincheek]

Well, they seem to think that approach will work in the rest of the country, so why not there ?
