Would you employ Hamilton on any job that gave him access to any money other than his wages? I would not employ a Politician and certainly not one that was ever in Brown's Gov. I see that his two henchmen have the temerity to put themselves up as the best Captain and Navigators of the economy. I would cry if I thought they were serious.

Deleted User	One conclusion which an objective observer might justifiably draw from reading the leaked letter (if genuine) is that the leaderships of the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat Parties could learn a great deal from UKIP, on how to effectively conduct their internal affairs with integrity.

And this is a bad thing? If only the Big Three had such honesty. All The Best I guess it would be a good thing if everybody was asked to do the same. If you have read the letter demand, then you must understand that its authors are going for far more details than you'll ever have from anybody, UKIP included. For example it's not like Farage ever gave anything close to what's asked in the letter, yet you could expect exemplarity from a spiritual leader. Sounds more like a weak attempt to discredit somebody based on something that most people than anything. And I say it independently of the fact that I wish political leaders were held to a much stricter control of their expenses.

Socialists from Islington and weak chinned public school boys who also have never had a proper job should consider suicide. In my opinion of course.

The clue to finding it quickly is the 'q' ........ that led to 'question' as a possible word, and following that it was easy ...... if you know Hamilton's past record.
