Spending your own money is what we do (when Gordon has finished grabbing as much as he can).

She's stupid. She's smug, although what she has to be smug about isn't immediately apparent. She's FAT, which means she's self-indulgent and self-justifying. "(Oh, I really shouldn't! Oh, all right then, I really didn't have more than a couple of sandwiches and a slice of pie for lunch.")<BR/><BR/>She's got a smug, empty face that reeks of self-approval and an "I'm right!" attitude.<BR/><BR/>I do hope she takes Gordon down with her. Wouldn't it be fun if Her Maj dissolved Parliament and said we were going to be run by a military junta for a few months. <BR/><BR/>Who'll be the next Labour leader, everyone? My guess, Alan Johnson.
