Makes you think !!!

[Blister]

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600
employees and has the following employee statistics:

29 have been accused of spouse abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

9 have been accused of writing bad cheques

17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 cannot get a credit card

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shop-lifting

21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year

Which organisation is this?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that
cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us inline.

What a bunch of *^->/*;s we have running our country - it says it all.
And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country .

How absolutely amazing. That is exactly the same figures that I have seen quoted for both the American Congress and the Australian Parliament.

Do you have any evidence for these statistics?

84 arrested for drink driving in the last year?
They may like a tipple but nope.

Ah, but it's not party political.
As WC Field commented, I'm not biased, I hate 'em all equally!

Welcome to the forum Caroline

I think you'll fine that this is an Urban Myth. pretty much confirmed by Andrewm's post.

It used to be said, that Estate agents were the lowest of the low, they are now held in high esteem compared to politicians.
