“People are more worried about paying their mortgages and keeping their jobs. I think I have been made a scapegoat in many ways,” said Miss Smith.No, Jacqui, you're cooling right off now. And you were so close.
Of course MPs were targeted disproportionately over expenses. You were hammered because of other issues, so you're correct on that score.
But if you can't see that, as the front for a highly unpopular ID cards scheme, amongst other illiberal initiatives, your refusal to listen to valid concerns from your voters fuelled the gleeful kicking you and porno Dickie received, you really don't understand people at all, do you?
The public don't like being ignored, Jacqui, especially by those who are elected to serve them. It really is as simple as that.
You want to win the election? Tell the voters of Redditch that Labour will do what the people want in future and not whatever you damn well please in cahoots with your state-paid buddies.
Got that? No, I didn't think so.
Sigh.
