Ethics

Common knowledge?

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and 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

* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

* 8 have been arrested for shop-lifting

* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

* 84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year

Which organisation is this?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
