Plugged In

As Rod Liddle puts it:

And then there’s the husbands, the spouses, these flawed individuals wheeled out to take the blame, blinking before the cameras, every time some gross manipulation of the rules has taken place. First, Richard Timney, issuing an apology to his missus for having charged his porno-fest to the electorate. An apology to his missus. And we are presumed to believe that Jacqui Smith was wholly oblivious to the fact that her husband charged every conceivable household expense down to the taxpayer. We are expected to believe all that when we know that she herself charged the taxpayer 88 pence for a f***ing bath plug.

  1. Well obviously B Liars Babes are not the superwomen they told us they were.
    Obviously Jacqui Smith could not have known ANYTHING. I predict a divorce.
    Likewise as all married men know, wives NEVER asked questions which is why Tessa Jowell is also an innocent victim of her hubby.
    I mean what would motivate ANY wife to query any mortgage form put in front of her for signature.

    Wives sign these things on a daily basis.
    So Jacqui Smith...innocent.
    Tess a Jowell......innocent.
    Er obviously.

  2. Jowell's is a particularly odd case. The household was suddenly vastly richer, but she didn't notice...?
