So the speakers done the honourable thing and stepped down. Or according to Hilary Ben, has put everyone else and the rest of the House of Scheisters, I mean Commons first before himself.
Or was it that the effusive apology and attempt to cling on to his position just wasn't enough to stop the back stabbing trough snorting power mongers demanding that he go, and take the blame for what they have been doing for years?
Getting someone to resign doesn't excuse the years of fingers deep in the pie of 'rules allowed' expenses claims, just because they were unable to keep it hidden from the great unwashed. Or is that the real reason he had to go - because he couldn't obfuscate the freedom of information flow, and keep it hidden from us?
Whatever the case, some MPs are now worried that if public opinion could get the speaker's head to roll, then which one of them is next?
