Panache - noun - a grand or flamboyant manner; verve; style; flair: The actor who would play Cyrano must have panache.

Probably best if you run those two lines together - I take the blame with great panache and in the meantime spend your cash.

I'd be very surprised if you didn't find a good few of our MPs had drug problems. A magazine article I read a few years ago about Corporate America reckoned 1 in 20 employees had an undisclosed drug problem, so if you extend that to the Palace of Westminster we could easily have 30 MPs who are completely off their face.

Do you think it's accurate to suggest that the MPs are drug addicts? Or is that just an exaggeration to reinforce a point?]]> Sunday Songwriters Group martin-6 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-7-week-29-alan-green/#post-329211 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-7-week-29-alan-green/#post-329138 Wed, 20 May 2009 16:26:45 +0000 Nothing like good old politics . . . to get the blood pressure up . . . is there?
They say it is the second oldest profession . . . that very much resembles the first.

Anyway, our politicians have been hitting the news this past week or so, and it seems that every single one of them has been fiddling their expenses, especially on the Government side (the Home Secretary's husband claiming for his porno DVDs made me laugh) although there are some great stories about opposition MPs with moats round their houses and tennis court sprinkler systems (I wonder if they're covered by the hosepipe ban that we've had since the start of the drought in England LOL). Now they've been exposed by the dishcloth known as the Daily Telegraph and heads are starting to roll. It inspired me.

This is how Britain's politicians treat the people who put them where they are now.

Title: Feather the nest

Vote for me and give me all your money
That is how the system works
Don't you tell me something's smelling funny
I'm entitled to some perks


You're just a gossip column reader
I'm your elected leader
I take the blame with great panache
And in the meantime spend your cash

Rules and laws for ordinary people
Standards have got to be maintained
Fine food and champagne, coke and needle
For me to do my job and all reclaimed




If you dare to stand to have your say
I'll change the laws to make you pay
And keep it secret from the world
What you don't know doesn't hurt



No time to run the country I‘ve been busy
Making a pile at your expense
You people make me sick you're f***ing crazy
Don't dare talk to me of common sense
