World: The Daily Telegraph took down a British Commons speaker. Not bad.
- Michael Martin is the first speaker to resign since 1695. Martin, whose parliament became embroiled in political scandal after days of reports by the Daily Telegraph about huge personal expenses made by members of Parliament. We’re not talking a couple of reports. We’re talking a massive f&*!(&% subsection of the Telegraph’s site about the expenses, which they got their hands on months before the Parliament planned to release them themselves. So, yeah, let’s just say that about half the British Parliament is screwed. High-five to the Telegraph for looking out for the common man. source
