Scottish Labour MPs no different to Non-Doms

THE double standards of this Government are legendry, but the latest outpouring by Sister Hattie Harman really does take the biscuit for downright cheek.

During questions on Non-Doms evading tax but being allowed to sit in the Commons and Lords, Hattie intoned: "We are determined to make sure that we can't have a situation where people purport to represent taxpayers in their constituency, or legislate in ways that affect taxpayers in the House of Lords, and yet not themselves be prepared to be registered as taxpayers domiciled in this country."

What about the phalanx of Scottish Labour MPs whom the Government calls to vote on English affairs which do not concern their constituents?

Of course, that's different. Bend the rules for Labour and screw eveyone else. 

One Law for New Labour, and one for rest of us.

I totally agree with that, the only answer to this is an English Parliament or independance for England.

Well spotted. I'd never thought of it like that. Has Hattie made any response? Thought not. Hopefully she won't be there after the next election (though I'm no fan of the Cameroons).

Alternatively - independance for Scotland and then you can sort out NI and Wales .
