iirc it was our home secretary who was all for making 'violent' pornography or porn that depicts 'staged violent acts' (made by consenting adults) an offence to possess or watch.
BDSM is not my cup of tea, but I'm sure it is for some who have no sinister motives other than getting their rocks off with, or by watching other consenting adults.

Quote:

Ms Smith had given her husband a "real ear-bashing".

oh really, was it just his ear she was bashing?

This woman never ceases to amuse me. For someone occupying the position of home secretary she sure leaves a lot to be desired.

Quote:

Jacqui Smith said in a statement: "I'm sorry that in claiming for my internet connection, I mistakenly claimed for a television package alongside it.

This seems like a fairly stupid mistake to make; I'd have thought she would have at least read the terms and conditions of the service she was buying especially if she was intending to claim it back on Mp's expenses.

When you view this alongside her sketchy use of the second homes allowance, for which she is currently under investigation by the parliamentary commissioner for standards. Using taxpayer funded allowances for a second home while living with her sister, no less.

I'm inclined to agree with this chap:

Quote:

Conservative MP Mark Field told the BBC: "I'm obviously glad Jacqui Smith has decided to act quickly and repay, I'd also like her to act as quickly and repay the second home allowances that she's also taken.

"She says it's all within the rules, which I'm sure is right... but the reality is it's not within the spirit of the rules.

"If she doesn't recognise that I think she's really a bit too stupid to be Home Secretary."

Honestly, every time I hear her on the radio I lose a little bit of respect for British democracy.

Jacqui Smith's husband would be sleeping on the sofa tonight, but luckily they have two houses.

I am absolutely horrified by the news that Jacqui Smith's husband has been claiming public money out of MP's expenses to watch pay-per-view pornography.

Has he never heard of the internet?

I guess the 'great-big-labour-free-for-all-grab-as-much-as-you-can-whilst screwing-the-taxpayer' drive occluded his reason, causing him to forget the reason that the internet was invented in the first place

Mind you, if I were married to that... that thing, I'd be watching jazz-tv pay per view too. Tax payers cash or no - desperate times call for desperate measures and all that

What the husband does while he watches TV, the wife does to the country???

Breaking News........ Tory's call for Jacqui Smith's resignation in the wake of a second leaked expenses claim.

A news source has revealed yet another dubious expense claim by the Home Secretary. This new claim is said to have included 2 boxes of Kleenex tissues and a bottle of Stain Devil upholstery cleaner.

"Jacqui Smith has been quoted as saying that she "doesn't give a toss" however she added that she would be "taking her husband into hand as it's all been very messy"

One of my favourite Radio4 interviewers, John Humphrys, grilling our failure of a home secretary.

Shifty cow

Go on John, Get some!

I watched he being interviewed on BBC News 24 last night....how embarrassing

I feel really sorry for Jacqui Smith: she worked long and hard to get where she is and her husband has 'tossed' it all away.
