The Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth admitted he's not as clever as military top brass. And he bleated he suffers because of his thick Midlands accent and gravelly voice. Mr Ainsworth, 57, quit his summer holiday this week to deal with the MoD's bid to cut compensation for injured soldiers. But yesterday the ex-Coventry factory worker gave an extraordinary interview in which made clear he thinks he is a victim of snobbery. He said: "I speak with a Midlands accent. I drop my aitches, I suffer with an asthma-related condition that means I speak with a gravelly voice. I have a moustache some people appear to take offence to. I don't know what motivates these people." The Sun revealed that he had become the first Cabinet minister to sport a moustache for several decades. Mr Ainsworth, a surprise choice in June to replace John Hutton, went on to reveal he does not regard himself as clever. He said: "I have strengths and I have weaknesses. I don't pretend to be able to write a great thesis or doctorate. I don't try to pretend I am cleverer than a general or the chief of the defence staff." He had been deputy to Mr Hutton and stepped up after persuading Gordon Brown he was popular with the military.

 Failed Home Secretary Jacqui Smith yesterday admitted she was not up to the job.
She said she felt unqualified for one of the Government’s biggest tasks – and should have been “better trained.”
She told a politics magazine: “When I became Home Secretary I’d never run an organisation. I hope I did a good job but if I did it was more by luck than any development of skills.”
Ms Smith quit last month following a series of blunders.
Meantime, back on the ranch, her battered husband took to pornography for psychic protection, for which he cannot be blamed

 



John "I dun note that wore wrong" Prescott
He had his lavatory seat repaired twice in the space of two years at taxpayers’ expense.
The former deputy prime minister, who has admitted suffering from bulimia, claimed the maximum possible amount for food – £4,800 a year.
 

 


After it emerged that he was not paying council tax on one of the four properties he stayed in, Mr Prescott rang the fees office to check if he was breaking any rules but they told him not to worry.
It shows how, while sticking to the regulations, MPs are still able to claim generous amounts for groceries and furnishings.
Mr Prescott, a former ship’s steward, named his grace-and-favour flat at Admiralty House as his main residence. It was there that he conducted an affair with Tracey Temple, his assistant private secretary.
He also paid peppercorn rent for a two-bedroom flat in Clapham that was owned by the RMT rail union, and had free use of Dorneywood, the country estate where he was photographed playing croquet while supposedly in charge of the country.
To claim the Additional Costs Allowance, Mr Prescott nominated his second home as the eight-bedroom, turreted house in his constituency of Hull where he lives with his wife, Pauline.
His files show that he regularly put through bills for repairs and redecoration. In 2004-05, he claimed £1,187 for the outside of his house to be repainted and £609.92 on white goods including a new LG washing machine. In December 2004, a plumber charged £210.79 for repairs to pipework and taps and to “refix WC seat”. Mr Prescott also put through another £22.50 claim to “replace linkage between siphon and handle to WC”. Less than two years later, in September 2006, Mr Prescott was reimbursed by taxpayers for a £112.52 repair bill that included “refit WC seat”.
He claimed £6,772.27 for repair work to the house that included replacing sash windows and a charge of £312 “to supply and fix mock Tudor boards to apex of front gable”.
Taxpayers also paid £2,479 for rewiring of an “extension or office area”, £580 for a saffron-coloured carpet, £2,076.83 for redecoration work that included doing up his downstairs lavatory and £658 for repairs to a “section of drainage”. Mr Prescott claimed the maximum £4,800 on food in 2004-05 and 2006-07. In 2005-06 and 2007-08, he claimed £3,200 although the amount was reduced slightly in the earlier year because of the dissolution of Parliament.

WARNING: The three people mentioned above are just a few of the Left who are intent on destroying this country. Their agenda has basically three elements:
1.Disarmament of the UK.

2.The injection of the homosexual agenda into the minds of our children, who are being virtually sodomised with the full support of the Government, the Church, and the Media.

3.Allowing limitless immigration.

Haringey Again!
