Tory MP struck by train
See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/b...s/10357834.stm
for more. Was this Victoria mainline or Underground? Lucky to be struck by a train and receive minor injuries. Couldn't have been a slam door anyway! MaxB |

Lucky to be struck by a train and receive minor injuries. Couldn't have been a slam door anyway! Sadly, press reports in the last few hours suggest it was a failed suicide attempt by the MP. "Ruffley was known to have been devastated that he missed out on a post in David Cameron's new cabinet due to the prime minister having to find room for coalition partner Liberal Democrat MPs." "Mr Ruffley was also said to have been humiliated by revelations during the MP's expenses scandal where he came in for severe criticism for claims that he had made." It sounds like attempting suicide isn't the only thing he's not very good at. -- Brian "Fight like the Devil, die like a gentleman." www.imagebus.co.uk/shop |

Latest says he threw himself under a train: Doing that at Victoria is just silly, given how slowly the things go there. Much better to hop onto a train to, eg, South Croydon, and jump in front of one of the many trains that zoom through without stopping. Even better, of course, to not be such an inconsiderate *******, and just off yourself by slipping a sharp kitchen knife between your ribs and into the heart. Do it in the bath to make it easier for your landlord to clean up the mess. -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice Repent through spending |
