Instead of some original writing to day I thought I would pass on this e-mail message received from a friend. It isn’t possible for every one of them to be whiter than white – whoops! Scrub that. It isn’t possible rather for every politician to be like Caesar’s wife but… Poor Caesar’s wife having to be virtuous or at least give the impression of being virtuous when Caesar was not only having it off with the Egyptian, he was known, so I believe, as “every man’s wife and every woman’s husband”. If there is no truth in this slanderous statement I am sure someone will set me right.

So I thought the easiest way of passing it on was by Blog.

Benjamin Disraeli, one of Britain's greatest Prime Ministers, entered Parliament in order to escape his creditors - at that time the MPs enjoyed immunity. So it's not new.
Some rocky starts can go right!
