"Let Them Drink Tap"
Frank Doran is Chairman of the Commons Admin-istration Committee. His Committee has decided that MPs will continue to drink bottled water.He claims the decision was taken on "cost and hygiene" grounds. Guido doesn't understand. How can it be cost effective to ship 30,000 litres of mineral water in bottles up the motorway compared to pouring tap water into jugs?
If London water is not hygenic enough for MPs to drink, why is it good enough for the people of London?
This Scottish lawyer (another one) sounds more like Marie Antoinette than a tribune of the people...

Cos tapwaw'er tastes like piss, dunnit.
Snot our fowl', it wuz aw' parsed by ve Torees in 1996.
Guido,
For tomorrow, can we have a summary of where we are with Bottler Brown and his pathetic crew? He and they are so inadequate we tend to forget. Can we have:
1) Your @Brown is a Twat' list of all the twattish things he's done like picking his nose, appearing with an orange blob on his forehead, having wee-stains on his trousers, etc., and
2) A summary of all the criminal cases against each of them, the amount of money they have laundered, etc., so "Wee Wendy 1", "Hain", "Wee Wendy 2", etc.
We need a useful statement of all of their mong behaviour and criminality up to now.
Ot but 18 per fuckin percent ha ha ha poor old snotty.
we should all mail him a 10p piece just to rub it in.
Because New Labour have authorised the addition of floride in water. Floride is a poison, and you see, the MP's don't want to be poisoned, they just think it's okay for the plebs to be poisoned.
And who knows what else is added to the water, after all, we have had New Labour elected THREE times now, and they still have a huge populous willing to keep them in power despite all the corruption and fraud of the past 11 years.
well let the eat cake indeed .
however given that thames water is useually recycled 7 times these days would you really want to drink somthing ken has pissed into at some time ??
Just one more of the limitless number of examples of their fucking arrogant, 'Do as we say, not as we do', 'We're all right, Jack', snouts in the trough piggery.
This is typical of our political elite and will be their undoing! Have they become so removed that they believe people will not see through their lies? Have they become so far removed from the struggles of ordinary people that they can no longer see us as human beings?
Do as I say, not do as I do?
Let them eat cake?
All animals are equal BUT some are more equal than others?
Its not who votes that counts its who counts the votes that decides the matter?
And the animals looked from pig to man and then from man to pig and then again at the pigs but they could no longer tell the difference?
Will the Tame lobby and MSM speak up?
If only some of us stuck to tap water rather than several pints and a bottle of wine then life would be a whole lot easier and our wives would think we were a total cunt.

Cost and Hygiene Grounds?...
They still don't get it, do they - no wonder they are so hated.
Wasn't Nick Harvey responsible for not changing the policy, rather than Scotland's greatest parlianmentary expenses claimer (Doran)?
Another useless fucking Scottish Labour twat MP. Do you realise that currently we are totally fucked in Scotland. Try a choice between bottled petrol, pumped petrol or NO PETROL. That the situation here in Jockland.
Snotgobbler doesn't give a fuck. He is more concerned aboot his 10% tax fuckup and the Tories 18% lead in the polls. In fact he is probably laughing his fucking head off about it and hopes he can pin the blame on the SNP. Can he for once get his finger out and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? We are heading for a kind of MAD MAX hell up here!
Cost and Fucking Hygiene ?
For Fucks sake they have a public water supply into the building on tap and I would expect they do pay their water rates.
So how can it be cheaper to buy in water from a third party, in the third party's containers?
Look, let's do away with this shite gravy traib democracy and go back to being a Monarchy. There would be far far fewer pigs at the trough.
Dear Guido,
Any chance you can assist moaning at the lack of support from politicians in the "House" to the murder of Paul Gallagher's son in the Bahamas?
He's a relly and deserves support from the morons in "House"
Make them do something useful please!
Looks likes the hot shot who owns the company responsible has got away with murder! And as usual the "House turn a blind eye"
Best Regards and keep up the good work against these lying cheating money grabbing B'Stards!
Many Thanks
Tom Fullery
Probably because you got to pay some to clean jugs out.
Btw has this story been on here at all yet ?

14,000 just to come up with some wankers self portrait :)
Well it made me laugh
Time to roll out the Guillotine (or perhaps the Scottish Maiden) and lose a few self serving heads.
"30,000 litres of mineral water in bottles up the motorway"
Probably more like 30,000 litres of Evian flown over by Lear Jet, bugger the carbon footprint.
What do Londoners have to say about being condemned to an "unhygienic and costly " water supply as supplied by Pennon Group PLC ?
I don't know what poor old Frank Field MP has been drinking but it must have been something a lot stronger than water for him to have fallen for Brown's lies over compensating the victims of the abolition of the 10p rate of tax.
Poor old Frank is going around telling everybody that Brown is going to compensate every one of the 5.3 million losers: LIES.
Frank is also claiming that Brown is going to backdate all the compensation to the start of this tax year: LIES.
Poor old Frank has got some backpedalling to do if he doesn't want his hard-earned reputation as one of the very few Labour politicians to have principles to be destroyed, and be labelled as just another lying, toe-rag like the rest of them.
I'm delighted to note that all the water consumed in the House of Commons has been passed by Frank Doran
Stupid Twat Boy - If not for the sake of the public purse, for the sake of the environment. How many bloody lorries does it take to truck that lot through 'congested' London ?
They just don't get it, do they ?
The whole lot of them in Westminister are just totally out of touch. Can anyone tell me whether we have got any closer to ensuring that MP's expenses are properly audited?

Five MPs employ more than one relative - including husband and wife DUP MPs Peter and Iris Robinson.
Mrs Robinson employs their son Jonathan as office manager and daughter-in-law, Mr Robinson employs their daughter and other son.
Surely the emloyment of families cann't continue. Many people in business work long hours often away from home, and they would not be allowed to employ their wives/children/inlaws etc.

How difficult is for them - if the Thames's finest just ain't clean enough - to stick in a water filter? That's what we did in my last job - fizz the old 'council pop' up a bit, stick it in your own label bottles and charge a fiver a pop. Easy money.
Look. we all like a different flavour. I like elderflower and Guano.
Ian Ducan-smith likes apple and Mash.
But the real reason is if Gordon had to have a jug, someone filling it might spit into it, or worse, before taking into his meetings. He can't take the risk.. plenty of, single, no kids just been 10p tax clobbered young people doing pretty meneial jug filing non jobs around here..
Then again hasn't he got his own water carrier already? That unglamourous yet vital midfield holding role.. isn't it the minister for social housing and social climbing, Caroline Flint?
Hygiene? Bizarre.. tap water is much cleaner than bottled water, which contains tons of bacteria.
Any comment from Phil Woolas? He must be keen to, given his previously expressed views on the consumption of bottled water.
To be fair, the tap water on the parliamentary estate is FOUL.
On the other hand, there are water filter/chiller machines in some locations, like the canteen. If they fitted them where the little kitchenettes are as well, we'd be able to drink that.
But that doesn't provide extra income for the catering department, does it...?
Frank Doran is another Labour MP with a dodgy past. Surprised he wasn't struck off as a Solicitor.
A contemporary of George GallOWAY in Dundee before GG was forced to leave in disgrace.
there are rumours that flouridation aids dumbing down , wether this enables more perfect celebrity nashers to be on telle more .
quite obvious bottled water would need to be consumed by the polit bureau to rule the peasants !!
seriously some studies says flouridisation is very bad , any techies look it up
It's not Fluorine. It's Oestrogen, from the Contraceptive pill. Background level in London tap water is way way above background levels. Don't forget that the average glass of London water has been through about 10 people. Many of those will have been women on the pill.
Perhaps the MPs are not being so stupid in this case. After all, who would want to be gradually chemically castrated.
Hygeine? Why? Don't the filthy fuckers wash their hands after going to the toilet?
MPs aren't keen on their testicles shrinking because of all the female contraceptive hormones in tap water which can't be filtered out.
Guido, you say, 'Let them drink tap.'
I say, 'Let them drink carbolic acid.'
NOT TALKING ABOUT BORIS ON QUESTION TIME...I THOUGHT NOT
It has finally dawned on you LOT that Boris is NOT going to win.
HENCE THE SILENCE FROM RIGHT WING BLOGGERS
Ken was on top form, and Boris was a disaster. The audience were holding back their laughter every time Boris spoke, he was abysmal and you know it.
How do I know, normally after an event with Boris on show, all the right wing bloggers come out hailing victory for Bozzer…but not anymore
Come the 2nd of May poor old YouGov will need to start an internal inquiry
nebb1 birkenhead north ender, Frank Fields reputation is already gone, in my opinion.
Just another chancer with his snout in the trough.
I am bitterly disappointed in Frank. Did the whips have something on him, I wonder? Vote our way or we reveal what we know?
ok who played the wrong question time joke , yeah i fell for it ha ha ha .
on question time special , it appears were treated to BBc entertainment. It was like watching a WWF wrestling match
pouncer paddick : seems to now have a tan and is not as reserved as earlier debates seems to have found a good tactic, accurate and displays authority although audience nearly deserted when he said how much he loved nick clegg, definitely fastest on his feet, looks like all his met training was useful afterall.although why he didnt clear the streets when he was deputy to ian blair ,suggest he was better in the office than on the beat. clapometer rating 60
Ken evil weevil: tonights match has to rate as one the best bravdo acts i have ever seen , still knows a few moves , including the slippery eel which alternates with the jellied one .
recieved boos now hated by grannies but still has diversity coalition .now publically thinks gordons an idiot to gain votes clapometer rating 2
Blagger boris: puffed did a few set tory peices but some that were all of his own, speciality move historical and hysterical slam dunk. the people cheer for boris , but is in danger of being made entertainment now whilst paddick steams on .
its a matter of catching him in his more serious moments , but he just loves intellectual lattitude a bit too much but improving .voter concerns if he will grow up in the job.
but bumbler is definitely wrong title , get too close and you get slam dunked and out .
BREAKING NEWS
The row over water in the Palace of Westminster continues.
Gordon Brown insists he has not changed his position on bottled water. Where as he previously was in favour of tap water he is now looking at the possible re-introduction of bottled water to MPs whose expenses are betwwen £5000 - £18,000 PA.
The latest revolt by Labour MPs demanding compensation for poor MPs who are losing their sparkling or still bottles of water has caused Mr Brown to get the Chancellor to hold a meeting to thrash out a solution.
The PM had previously pledged himself to the abolition of bottled water on 'Green' ecological grounds.
At the time he was applauded by his backbenchers as having 'Done one over the toffs' and their 'Snooty Evian posh exclusive lifestyles'
But since the emergence that Highland Spring, Pennine and Buxton are also going to severly lose out under the Labour parties proposals Labour backbenchers began to panic.
The Prime Minister continued to insist that no-one would lose out by his 'refillable transparent container inititive'and refused to consider an amendment.
But since up to 50 rebel backbenchers have been threatening to give the PM a good kicking he has 'made a motion not unlike a semi-circular parabolic geometric shape.'
Alistair Darling has agreed a proposal that will make three major changes to the original motion to head off the rebellion.
1] Some additives of a ribena or hi-jus nature will be phased in under the existing MP meal allowances formula.
2] Avaiability of Sunny Delight at major meetings and seminars and quangos backdated to May.
3] Vimto, Irn Bru and Tizer to be avaiable after means testing, and allocated after recipt of a 12 page tax credit , new deal beverage application.
"This is the same basic agreement as before and I have bought an end to global warming. This government has
presided over many years of freedom from Ice, and has seen an end to thirst and dust."
The Leader of the opposition commented..
"Its another dither. The Bottler has Bottled the Bottling issue. He can't even Bottle it properly."
Vince Cable also commented "The man's a Twat"
The Press continued to berate the Prime Minister outside number 10 today.."Did you touch the jug Mr Brown?" and " Oi! Dannone"
MPs who employ more than one member of their family include
the Tory MP Sir George Young, chairman of the Commons Standards and Privileges Committee, and Sir Stuart Bell, the Labour MP who is among the senior politicians reviewing Commons expenses
While MEPs have voted not to employ any family members, a practise already held in some Europe countries including Germany.
Let them eat shit and drink piss!
"Don't forget that the average glass of London water has been through about 10 people"
Total myth - think about it. Water doesn't just disappear or re-emerge as "water"...
Those MPs who believe they are too important to drink tap water could always buy their own bottled water out of the very generous salaries and expenses the taxpayer allows them.
It just keeps coming doesn't it?! I mean it really does.. one bit of hypocrisy after another with these politicians! Perhaps the original Fawkes was correct to blow parliament up! Guido had it right when he stated that it was fine for Londoners to drink Thamaes water but not our Scottish MPs!!!!!
but ofcourse a rotten parliament should have the finest water!
come on, you sound like a bunch of fishwife-spastics.
party politics has caused this barefaced selfishness by our elected and non-elected officials.
and as they have amassed such excessive expenses and allowances so they have become disassociated from the economic realities facing most people.
note to speaker martin: why haven't you resigned yet, you lying cunt. your wife is a thief, have you no shame man?
you are dragging parliament's reputation through the mud you fucking idiot.
MPs extravagance exposed once again.
Keep up the good work Guido.
You'll have to photoshop the picture.
Marie-Antoinette is supposed to have had bigger breasts that Jayne Mansfield. (Such a pity about both of them then.)
They CAN all get tap water in all the canteens and dining rooms, and if they want bottled water they have to pay for it. (Freedom of choice, Guido.)
Staff cost of preparing and serving jugged water to committee rooms each day, for witnesses and MPs, to an acceptable hygiene standard?
Oh - sorry - didn't expect any rationality on this blog. (Just the usual chippy fuckwittery from 4-days-a-week Fawkes).
What sweet fucking difference does it make if he's scottish you racist bastard?
Very restrained, Guido, - I mean the title to this story.......
Which company supplies the bottled water? How much did they give to the Labour Party? Now you see why it's cheaper.....
