Up man. If they deal great. But out means out.

Former Labour MP Fiona Onasanya struck off as a solicitorTribunal decision comes after conviction for perverting course of justice over speeding Amazing that her criminal act meant she had to be struck off as a solicitor yet did not prevent her remaining as an MP. Well in the toss up between 1. '3 points and £60', and 2. 'Your reputation, your freedom and your career', number 2 seemed like the better idea at the time. One less crooked solicitor and mp, Surely Peterborough council could employ her to clean the toilets! She had enough of the councillors cleaning hers! 30 days in jail not one day of community service, looks like she had some friends in important places.
