The End of the Age of Greed?

Tom Watson MP recently reviewed the book 'Meltdown: The End of the Age of Greed' on his blog last month. He describes the book as an 'uncomfortable read for any politician', without a trace of irony.

Tom is minister for Digital Engagement, presumably because he has a finger in every pie. £4,800 worth of pies every year, according to the leaked MPs expenses.

"Two Labour ministers, Iain Wright and Tom Watson, have used their parliamentary allowances to lavish more than £100,000 on a shared central London crash pad since the last general election."

The hypocritical oppulence of these thieving champagne-socialists has todays Labour party's poll ratings at the lowest ever recorded level. With Labour 'heartlands' wiped out just a year before Scotland votes on independence, chances are the corruption of Tom and his colleagues will seal the fate of the United Kingdom.
