At last poisoned Tonge gets the boot! It should have happened years ago. She was sacked from her post in the House of Commons by then Lib Dem leader, Charles Kennedy; strongly criticised by the next leader, Ming Campbell and should have had the whip withdrawn by the current leader and deputy PM, Nick Clegg when she opened her ridiculous mouth about the Haiti 'organ theft' libel. Instead, she was demoted from her role as health spokesman in the House of Lords.

The daft bat goes on about the 'scars' she bears due to the actions of the 'Israel lobby', seemingly unable to understand that if she continually blames British Jews for anything she dislikes about Israel (which is everything) right-thinking people - not her imaginary 'lobby' - will notice and react.

The LibDems have got shot of their offender and although I welcomed Labour leader Ed Milliband's condemnation of Tonge, he needs to address those of his own party who, in word and deed, are of the same mindset.
