Eric Joyce is my new favorite person in the world

…just because we’re both mad as hell and won’t take it any more.

Shamed politician Eric Joyce admitted he was lucky to avoid jail today for brawling in a Commons bar then telling police: “You can’t touch me, I’m an MP.”

The train did not run at the hour I had to go, so I had to hitchhike, twice.
