Willie Rennie: In The Sea, In The Sea, In The Sea


Cllr John Leech MP's buddy Willie Rennie MP is getting all knotted once again. Remember, the pair of them stood up together and asked probing questions about dumb cluster bombs and both have signed three laudable EDMs on the matter.

Only trouble is that Willie used to part-own and work for McEwan Purvis, the PR Agency which glossed the truth for multinational Raytheon - one of the world's biggest arms dealers and a maker of cluster bombs, bunker busters and all sorts of nasties. Rennie has even been to their factory since his shock election - a couple of constituencies away - and glad handed and soundbited about how great these purveyors of fun sized amputations and worse actually are.

He was well-paid to spin for the firm. He was well-paid for his shares. And now he is well paid to make hypocritical speeches, at the HoP.

Well, Ridiculous Politics brings a new twist. While slapping the Unions at Rosyth on the back and saying he is on side he has also been spotted in at least five clandestine meetings with bosses.

I've got to be honest I think Gordon Brown may be getting a new MP at the next election as this Lib Dem is even worse than the mediocre average.
