Dennis's "Dodgy" Doings

How could I not miss Britain, sometimes, with stuff like this going on in their politics... makes me quite nostalgic for the old days it does. The MP being upbraided for calling the Prime Minister, David Cameron, "Dodgy Dave" in the video is Dennis Skinner - a good lefty, former coal miner, and Sun Aquarian. Last time I saw him on TV back in the UK, his hair was still mostly black.

He has always been, and continues to be, a thorn in the side of Conservative MPs.





More Skinnerisms at this link - including my favourite:

Skinner:"Half the Tory members opposite are crooks."
When told to withdraw this remark by the Speaker:
Skinner: "OK, half the Tory members aren't crooks."

There is, by the way, a list of words not to be tolerated in UK's House of Commons:

blackguard
coward
dodgy
git
guttersnipe

hooligan
hypocrite
idiot
ignoramus
liar
pipsqueak
rat
swine
stool pigeon
tart
traitor
sod
slimy
wart.
