A picture is worth a thousand words

In the case of this one, most of those words are curses.

While I agree with the greater point, I do feel the need to throw up a [Citation Needed] here, since this is unsourced and because any photos could be paired with that text (the BBC screenshot could even be from a BBC story on the debate running unrelated B-roll). Moreover, substantive debate on policy rarely happens during a full session of the House of Commons in Westminster Parliamentary systems - most of the substantive work is done in committee. If a full House debate were called, that's a big deal. I'd imagine most MPs would show up.

I'm dubious.

This. Definitely citation needed type material.

I should have gotten back to this earlier, I just forgot.
In Australia, the one legislation that went through almost always without any delays or objections was the increase to politicians pay.
Having watched this over the decades tends to form a lasting image. Age has the benefit of hindsight...
They ALWAYS vote to increase their pay.
The country might be headed to ruin. But, they ALWAYS increase their own pay.
Can't do a single thing unanimously, except, they ALWAYS agree to increase their own pay.
So if I see a picture that portrays politicians sacrificing 1 million babies on an altar of blood and giving their souls to the devil, to increase their pay, I hate to say it, but probably I'd believe it.
Based purely on the same logic that dictates that the Sun will rise tomorrow morning.

BTW, cheers. I've had a good day. Drinking sake, eating sashimi and drinking wine.
Early birthday celebrations. LOL

Again, in general, I agree. I just have questions about the validity of this image and these specific claims.
