Grant Shapps MP, waffling again!

[walpurgis]

Did anybody catch Grant Shapps being questioned about the proposed MP's pay rise from £66k to £70k on TV this morning? What a performance!

I've never seen such unconvincing squirming and issue dodging in my life. He would not give a straight answer as to whether he would be accepting the rise himself. Each time the point was put to him, he sidetracked and spouted nonsense saying MP's pay should not cost people money (well obviously it will).

This man is there to represent his constituents. How can anyone have faith in a person who can't be forthright. It's only a few weeks since his last TV debacle. He needs to resign and get a job he can manage. I'm sure he has all the qualities needed to be an estate agent or car dealer.

Come now, Geoff...Neither profession is in need of a further lowering of standards:)

Yes, I just felt the need to air my thoughts.

I'd love to take him for a beer round my local, bullshit is not popular there, so I'd give it five minutes before somebody gave him a right hander.

I wonder where he goes for a pint............

Or he would have flogged someone a dodgy mid-nineties Beemer:lol:

They don't get lamped that often and it's not because we're a polite nation. I think he may be more plausible in person.
