Why People Hate Politicians - Part 2

Liar!

As per my earlier post, Iain Dale snatched a screenshot, and caught him redhanded.  When a few right-leaning and especially Tory bloggers have now taken issue, this particular MP has shown what he is made of, and has resorted to lying. 

This will backfire - you can't lie on the internet and get away with it forever.  It will turn up in the cache, or on another live-feed somewhere and when it does the reputation of our MPs will have been dragged even further into the gutter.  It's bad enough that an MP would equate Torys as "Scum-Scuking Pigs" but if you are going to do so, have the balls to own up to it.

Update 1: Tim Montgomorie has caught David Wright MP using a similar term before on Twitter - #Toryscum.  It seems he has form for this sort of thing!

Update 2: Iain Dale says Jonathan Sheppard has picked him up on tonights message, having retweeted the unsensored original.  The speed of honesty in the Internet age eh!

Why People Hate Politicians - The Mini Series

Pic Lifted from Iain Dale.

People are dying in Afghanistan, people are living in poverty here in this wealthy nation of ours, millions are out of work, millions of more no longer wish to work, those that do work are ignored by politicians yet exhorted by the tax office.  People have lost faith in politics and politicians with the exposure of the greedy and corrupt the nation's newest and most active past time, but David Wright MP thinks that his opponents are "scum-sucking pigs" and clearly in yet another Parliamentary recess he has nothing better to do than piss his time away and set for himself the loftiest of examples on Twitter.

David, I don't know who you are or what you have done in your political career but you are clearly one of the 646 that does not get 'it' and you are EXACTLY why people hate and distrust politicians.  I hope you lose your seat in the most humiliating and miserable fashion possible at the upcoming election and that BBC Election night run this twitter message across the screen as the results are announced.
