Can you imagine working for an organisation that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics?

29 have been accused of spouse abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad cheques

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organisation this is?


























It's the 535 members of the UK's Houses of Parliament, the same
group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the
rest of the Brits in line...


(Note: I personally haven't verified those figures.)

I had almost the *exact* same email a few months back claiming, of course, the same things about the members of the US Congress!!!

I was going to say the District of Columbia (Washington DC) government - but those numbers are likely far far too low.
