Meanwhile...in the real world.

Whilst yet again the media-ocracy are raging at the failure of the democratically elected government of the day to topple at their every whim...

...in the real world, the real government confirms a 6% pay rise for the lowest paid in society, and a 10% pay rise for the lowest paid 16 & 17 year olds.

But anyway, back to the really important stuff, did you hear the one about the government who introduced tough new laws on political party finance and then stuck to them, to the letter?

I know, terrible isn't it.

It's almost as bad as taking bribes for asking questions in parliament. Almost as bad as lying on oath. Almost as bad as covering for your mates when they sell arms to dictatorships. Almost as bad as getting your 17 year old daughter to perjure herself to save your political skin. Almost as bad as denying you've given gifts from fugitive millionnaires when, you kind of have.

Almost, but not quite.
