No visa

Just an update on the long running Michael Crocker signing, last week he had his 2nd application turned down. He signed for South Sydney Rabbitohs at the weekend. To say I'm dissapointed about this is an understatement, (I've been sulking ever since I heard, hence the late post) but I think we all new that it was on the cards. Lets hope that our other overseas signing, Hame Lauaki, isn't waiting much longer for his visa. I first wrote about his signing in late February, nothing has been heard of him since!!! At least he hasn't any convictions for anything as far as I know. So at least we know he will be playing for us..........eventually!!

Crooks!

I can hardly believe some of the stories that the Daily Telegraph has been printing about MP's and their expenses. If this doesn't get the British people going nothing will!
It is absolutely outrageous what has been claimed for, from one MP claiming for having a chandelier fitted into his house, to someone claiming for a box of Tampax!
To put no finer point on it, this is fraud of the British people, and don't give me all that tripe about 'acting within the rules' Surely the thought must have passed through the brain of the MP who claimed for a bag of horse manure, that this isn't really ' essential in doing my job as an MP' Actually, that claim is about right because I think this lot in Parliament, and I mean all sides, have just been shovelling shit on us for long enough!
Maybe in the upcoming elections we should look beyond the 2 party system and vote for other parties. I don't advocate voting for the BNP of course, but look at UKIP, The Greens etc. We haven't heard how bad the Lib Dems have been yet, its their turn soon, maybe they could come out of this smelling of roses you never know.
A couple of posts ago I wrote about a speech given to Parliament by Oliver Cromwell in 1653, when he dissolved the then' Long Parliament'. History speaks truth once again.
Here's the link to that speech

MOT!!

I know I've been a bit lax with updates, but I have been busy of late and will do a catch up post soon. But today I just want to wish the football team I love, Leeds United the best of luck in the play offs today.

We're going to go UP this time! Marching on Together!!!
