Delta Forced-out

Eric Joyce – the Chuck Norris of the House of Commons Bar.  He’s now resigned in disgrace from the Labour Party, perhaps to avoid a party challenge to his right to represent the constituency of Falkirk.  The indignity of being banned from every pub in the country for three months may hit him harder.  He was silly saying to police officers “You can’t touch me, I’m an MP,” forgetting the experience of then-shadow immigration minister Damian Greene several years ago.   

But when one hears über-right-wing arseholes, such as Douglas Carswell or Dominic Raab, pronounce conceitedly and with such thwarted entitlement on issues, whilst wiping the foam from their mouths, Joyce’s line “There are too many f*****g Tories in here,” before he launched a one-man take-down of the entire Conservative Parliamentary Party present, seems distinctly appropriate in both tenor and substance.
