So, another milestone of this whole expenses scandal is the constitutionally significant resignation of the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin.  Can I just explain to the readers from outside the UK that in the last month or so everyone in Britain has been going schitso about our Members of Parliament blowing taxpayer’s money on porn, Sunny Delight, Febreeze, moats, tie racks, Jaffa Cakes and other essentials.  Some of those items are yet to be officially confirmed, but not many.  Find out more after the jump.

Yea so Michael Martin, a man as annoying to listen to as he is bulbous, suffered the worst political mauling since Caesar was stabbed in the senate.  MPs were openly telling him to fuck off, and so he duly resigned today, and is to leave his position on 21st June.  The reasons cited were that he represented a barrier to reform, by speaking for a house full of benefit thieves.  But he had to go.  Apparently.  Surely everyone else should go too?  Nah, fuck it.  Who’s for some free hob nobs?  On a serious note, I wish they would sort this thing alot quicker, because this business is so boring that it’s sapping my will to live.
