Which rumours?

Did he jump?

Was he pushed?

What was he wanting to say before cut down in his blaze of gory (sic) by the Deputy Speaker?

Wikipedia is already updated with this;

On March 12th 2008, Spink announced to the UK House of Commons that he had resigned the Conservative Party Whip due to "criminal and other irregularities" in his constituency. This announcement was later rebutted by the party and they described the whip having been withdrawn from him. This separates him from the Conservative group in parliament.

And of course like the good Tory boy you are you kept those rumours to yourself. Of course if any other Party had "failed to deal with serious criminal and other regularities" (in Spink's own words) in the constituency of one of their MPs you would have had shown the same discretion???

4.41: "failed to deal with serious criminal and other regularities"

Good description of the Labour party too, Labour blah blah boy. I notice State Police Commissar Blair has taken no action yet in response to the outrageous Donorgate scandals all about your rotten party and your rotten government and your paid poodles in the BBC are keeping very quiet about it too.

I wonder how much Gordon bunged Spink to do this now and divert attention from a really crap budget?

certainly one of the greatest irregularities so far from mr spink .

not quite as good as the 74 yr old in cornwall who was asked to go outside to break wind .

When he did a gust blew him over and gave hime a cracked rib.

he said "the real wind got the better of him"

mr spink take note
