"No reward for Failure!", shouts Brown from the rooftops...

[Asterix]

...and overrules a vetting panel warning that Michael Martin should NOT be awarded a peerage as it would damage the Lords' reputation (I'm pretty sure Blair has already ruined the Lords through overt cronyism anyway).

"No reward for failiure!"

I couldn't agree more. 'Ol Winky and his bad of merry men make Madoff look like a petty theif.

I guess Martin knows where the bodies are buried, so to speak, and this is the pay off.

If there was no reward for failure then the cabinet would be handing back their wages.

[The Contrarian]

How about awarding him the "Order of the Stammering Trough Snouters"?

That would be fair.

The non-news that he "wasnt" being released led the evening news , no mention of Mick's entry into the Lord's.
