Well fancy that!

Can you imagine a company that only has a little more than
635 employees, but has the following Employee Statistics.

29 have been accused of spouse abuse,
7 have been arrested for fraud,
9 have been accused of writing bad cheques,
17 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 drink driving in the last year,

And collectively, this year alone, they have cost the British tax
payer £92,993,748 in expenses!

Which organisation is this?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons.

Why do people get emails like this then believe everything they read.

Do you really think 84 out of 635 people in ANY organiztion would have been arrested for drink driving in the last year. If it was MPs it would be in the headlines.

And if you have been in prison for more than 6 months you cant be an MP anyway so saying they have "done time for assault" is not likely.

Put this in "jokes" if you like but not news.

May we have the stats on the numbers convicted?

[Baldric]

Isn't it amazing that the US Congress has almost identical stats to the House of Commons?

it's a sort of international pairing agreement, Baldric

I'm very disappointed; I thought it might run a little longer than that :-(
