Cambria has been sent a press release by the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers (ALMR) quantifying the amount of booze our alcoholic elected masters in Westminster get through at our expense. Apparently the consumption is about the annual turnover of 35 pubs (and London pubs at that) and nearly £9000 per MP.
It would be interesting to know what the bar bill of the politicians that frequent the Eli Jenkins pub near the Senedd where the AMs drown their sorrows or forget to stub out their cigars.
Now many of us like a drink or two and some of us may even pay for a round but this is simply taking the piss.

I wonder if Big Don is partial to a tincture? Perhaps he’d be prepared to spend a few bob of his recent London property speculation windfall in the pubs of his constituency, and even buy some of the good people there a lotion or two. (But not during an election campaign, Don, or you might be done for contempt of the Electoral Commission’s strict rules!) The odious Kinnock (aka The Baron Kinnock of Bedwellty) was noted as being fulsome in his generosity when it came to less fortunate working men and women of South Wales. It was, after all, his way of keeping them in the dark about his own shameless social climbing and empire building:. As overheard a few years back in an Islwyn pub: “‘Ere Dai ‘ave a drink on me butt. Eh! Glen! (that is, the Lady Kinnock) get wun in for Dai…yeah…an’ Will boy, wot yiw ‘avin butt? Get another one in for Will Glen” etc etc. But the poor dabs never woke up to it.
Now it’s Big Don’s turn. Go for it Don, but remember to buy the good ol’ boys a pint of whoosh when you get into the Lords yourself. Who knows, grovel as low as your Brit butty Leighton Andrews, and you might get an OBE along the way. Wouldn’t that be just great ‘n’ dandy?!
