Boo-fucking-hoo

Like many MPs, Nadine has had a stressful time: the lesson for all MPs is that you shouldn't lie repeatedly, smear your opponents and steal money.

Via The Englishman (who is not sympathetic in the slightest), I see that Iain Dale was listening to the radio the other day.

Earlier today Radio 4 broadcast a half hour programme on the MP expenses scandal. It is a close look at the effect the scandal had on MPs and their families. Among others, it features Nadine Dorries, Ann Cryer, Denis MacShane and Andrew George. Nadine's daughter breaks down in tears when discussing the effect it all had on her, and Nadine openly discusses the fact that she has thought about standing down.

Good. You should be pleased Iain: it doesn't look good for the Tories to have a proven liar as an MP—especially one who is happy to smear her opponents (and then try to sue people for smearing her) and who is is barking fucking mad to boot.

Unfortunately, Mad Nad won't stand down: it's just bluster.

I suspect that many people will have an adverse reaction to the programme and accuse the MPs of shedding crocodile tears and think they deserved all they got. Many did.

Yes, they did.

But several of the MPs featured in this programme were clearly driven to the edge of reason by what happened.

"But"? What's this "but"? Look, a while ago we were told that some MPs were on "suicide watch"—have we seen any suicides? No, no we haven't. It was simply a cynical ploy to try to gain the public's sympathy.

This is precisely the same: these colossal egotists just cannot stop whining about how unfair it all is and how there are going to be dire consequences, and how we need more rules, and...

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

No one cares. No one cares about your troubles because it was our hard-earned money that you were stealing. You stole our money: do you really expect us to be upset that you were slightly put out for a few days? Really?

You fucks have been repeatedly raping us up the arse, without lube, for years and years and years and you want us to feel sorry for you? Fuck. Off.

"Driven to the edge of reason"? Yes, I imagine that they were: after all, I bet that Bernie Madoff and the Enron management team were also "driven to the edge of reason"—I imagine that it is pretty fucking stressful when you have committed fraud on a grand scale and you realise that you are about to get caught. So?

The solution is not to commit fraud. Do you see? We don't need more rules, and we definitely don't need more self-pitying witterings from you slippery, solipsistic bastards. Because the solution is very simple—don't steal, don't defraud the taxpayers and don't be a disgustingly dishonest little cunt.

And if you get caught being a disgustingly dishonest little cunt—as many of you were—why don't you try employing some of that famous British stiff upper lip? At the very least, you should shut the fuck up about how you became a little upset when you realised that your crimes were about to be uncovered. Do you understand?

You were dishonest: you were caught, and you were fucking lucky not to be prosecuted—any one of us would have been. So count your lucky stars and crawl back under your rock, you thieving slugs.

I have absolutely no sympathy at all, for any of you: fuck off.
