2009 So Far

As i sit here on the 15th of July 2009, i have been thinking about the year so far.

Obviously this year has been dominated by going on's down Whitehall and the Houses of Parliament. Having not been blessed with glory when the Credit Crunch then Recession hit us at the end of 2008, our trust and faith in Parliament was rocked when the Expenses Scandal hit us and shocked us.

When it was discovered that politicians had used tax-payers money for second homes, dodgy DVD's, Moat Cleaning and a Duck island/home everyone was outraged, and with voting for the European elections around the corner this heavily influenced the mind set of the voting British public.

Despite MP's pledging to pay back around £100,000, and admitting to taking advantage of the expense's system, i believe that for most people the damage is done and it will take alot of work and maybe a goverment who know what they are doing to repair the damage.

At least we have the legend that is Boris Johnson as Mayor Of London, he may be a wally but he is a 100% golden legend!
