Parliamentary Standards Commissioner John Lyon said of LibDem MPs…
“The effect of members not making over these payments to the House was to put their private interest above their public interest, contrary to the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament.”

Having said that I’m sure that before long the badly-drawn cartoon will appear and spoil everything.
The “badger” Darling has been caught screwing it now too….see todays Maily Dail.
Looks like Fivebellies is getting a little sideline going,did she get the idea from Mr Timney
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7986483.stm
Trough trough trough, nothing ever changes. Hang the greedy fuckers.
No, there were 650 fat piggies.
McTwat has better things to think about. Pompous or what!
“How much can we all trouser before we get dumped?” that’s what’s on his mind.
“To-day I is mainly – “saving the World !”
Some of Gordon’s favourite song The Eurythmics “I saved the world today”
….. There’s a million mouths to feed
And I’ve got everything I need
I’m breathing
And there’s a hurting thing inside
But I’ve got everything to hide
I’m grieving.
Hey hey I saved the world today
Everybody’s happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody’s happy now
The good things here to stay
Please let it stay.
How true, how true… That’s exactly what the game is.
I guess that on the basis that most of the free-loading bastards are going to be consigned to the political midden and may have difficulty in finding paid employment, they are going tom need al the dosh they can screw out of the taxpayer.
McTwat is in the same boat. How awful for the rest of them.
No wonder there are so many independent people now getting up to run in the euro elections. And the Mail has Eyebrows troughing as well
3 in Scotland – I’m supporting this guy and so are most of my friends.

I would love to see the Hoon given a good stuffing over this one.

Three points worth restating:
1. as these items are recompense and not remuneration, anything left over in terms of value (property, assets) at the end of an elected rep’s tenure should be returned to their employer, or if they want to keep it then fair value should be paid.
2. An MP’s proposed total compensation should be part of a personal manifesto at election time and set by the candidate/party, enabling the voter/taxpayer directly to approve the cost. The personal manifesto should also agree behaviour and attendance standards and, unlike the party manifesto, should be a legally binding contract.
3. Public officials should be held personally liable for actual or perceived malfeasance, to be handled by an Administrative Court system, as it now is in Italy.
Better still, why not let constituents set their MP’s salary on an annual basis.
And to encourage the others, perhaps a negative amount should be possible too.
Problem would be the temptation to vote down anyone in opposition, or vote up one’s own man regardless of performance.
“An MP’s proposed total compensation should be part of a personal manifesto at election time and set by the candidate/party, enabling the voter/taxpayer directly to approve the cost. The personal manifesto should also agree behaviour and attendance standards and, unlike the party manifesto, should be a legally binding contract.”
EXACTLY why I am voting for this guy: http://www.johnwallace.me.uk – well said Tony.
Eyebrows, he seems a good man: his site needs sorting out a tad on the visual side, but as far as content goes, good luck to the fellow!
Oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink
Jacqui Smith: Oink grunt squeeeeee oink oink grunt *root* (trans: “It’s all within the rules”)
Jacqui Smith after the next election: Squeal, squeal, squeal. Translation: I’m off to get several overpaid consultancy positions within various biometric, DNA and surveillance companies – and I get to keep every penny I purloined when in power.
All MPs should be given a suspended death sentence prior to taking their seats. When they retire, loose or quit their seat, the voters can decide whether to commute the sentence or carry it out for acts of fraud, theft and treachery. I have a freshly painted white wall and a stout post.
you must be in a good mood today to propose letting them down so lightly
I hope you obtained planning permission for these home “improvements!”
Our illustrious PM – in his role as Global Finance Minister and Saviour of the World has let it be known to the media that he is far too involved working for “hard-pressed British families” – to get involved in such minor matters as this !!!
“I’m aha, (shuffle…. busy doing nothing;nothing the whole day thu…
Tryin’ so … um… hard…(hand gesture) to find things not to do!”
Well, other than make stuff up on the fly, lie, and then get the Polly/Mrs Marr/Jazza to print or BBC to broadcast it as rock-solid, world-saving fact before scooting off on yet another school holiday.
At least my attempts at “encouraging growth” and stimulus have worked – all the work of my very own hands
They are just following the instructions set out in McBroon’s folllow-up to benefits cheating and free-loading as a student.
How about this for a bit of comedy, and most of it is so, today.
Ah, that was when Ben Elton was funny. Albeit unintentionally. Still its nice to see so many of those in the vid have done so well since then from the BBC propaganda ministry .
Never believe anything an actor tells you. It’s his job, you see. Example: T Blair.
There is an interesting article on sky this morning. People who are loosing their homes are being forced into council accommodation; the same council is then taking their children into care as the accommodation is not deemed suitable for young children. I am sure that these people are concerned about the global economy and terrorism. Politicians and supporters of both parties betray the people of this country, instead of trying to stop the sleaze and help the poorer people in our society they play silly games trying to score party political points.
When violence does erupt in this country it will come from a totally unexpected direction and will be devastating.
All it will then take is one gifted orator to stand up and say I will give the people their country back. I will try politicians for their crimes and I will introduce the death penalty for the worst offenders. They will win by a landslide. The country will then be sentenced to years of an extreme right wing dictatorship.
I once heard a saying which goes:
We are all travelling in the same boat. We may occasionally rock it or try to push one another out but only a madman would drill holes in the bottom.
Politicians and their supporters of all parties should consider carefully why they are so busy drilling holes in the boat.
We are already living under an extreme right wing dictatorship.
I am sure that the Ministry of Information will be re-running ‘Cathy Come Home’ to highlight the evil of ZNL. Not.
Let’s see if the Tories bother to mention it.
“When violence does erupt in this country it will come from a totally unexpected direction and will be devastating.”
You ain’t seen nothing yet…
The old bill won’t be able to contain it. Devastating will be an understatement of the effects of honest folk retaliating when they’ve just had enough of this crap.
I’m grumpier than you!
McGlobal has made a massive PR error in claiming that he’s far too busy to be concerned about the row over MP’s expenses. It’s a remark that’s gonna come back and bite him on his snout!
McGlobal has made a massive PR error
We wish! Let’s Make it so!!!!!
It’s a bit hard to do all the big stuff he so loves to wallow in when he has no moral authority or mandate from his electorate to do so, and especially when all those he is dealing with know it and are having trouble not peeing their pants laughing when he gets up there and starts waffling about ‘I…’ and ‘how he’s saved the world’. I am amazed he doesn’t come off the podium with a sign taped to his back.
That’s the thing about leadership… you need to do it by example. When the example you and you GOAT’s set is 180 degrees to what is demanded of your peons, and gets shown up daily as such… you’ve lost it. Make that them…: the plot, credibility, etc, etc. And, er, votes. The Labour Party is writing every poster the Conservatives (whoever, and wherever they are – is Daniel Hannan the only one who goes out to highlight these Titanic idiots? Speaking of which, I just got a hilarious email from John Prescott via the presciently-titled ‘Go Fourth’, rallying the troop to see if they can hit the 2M barrier by playing the man and another argument in the hope that something brown and smelly might stick)) require… using simply their own words.
It worked out OK at Nuremberg for a few vons, mind: ‘Don’t bother me with a few silly folk and their issues with forced labour… I have a V2 to build’
McGlobal is probably worried about what will come out about him….
A man too fiscally tight to pay for his own lightsbulbs and SkySports and instead leaving it to the taxpayer will no doubt have some more embarrasing disclosures to come…
The only time these MPs are resourceful and have any degree of initiative is when it comes to interpreting the rules to max their own expenses.
We are all looking forward to the p.m.’s expenses list.
This showers troughing really does make the tory’s isolated peccadilloes look positively saintly in retrospect.
Makes you wonder what tone’s expenses were.
“Makes you wonder what tone’s expenses were.”
Exactly. There was the telly licence for a start….and Chezza ( by Nick Park )’s Barnet maintainance programme with peripatetic snipper. That fuck pig should never have been let out of the country – treacherous Hoon!
I don’t think I want to know how often Cherie Blair gets waxed.
Can’t quite believe that Nick Robinson has left this load of tosh in his blog at the same time as the majority of the broadsheets have exposed Brown’s G20 Production as a complete con:
“Though merely a humble witness to the saving of the world and the turning of the page and the creation of a new world order, I do now feel in need of a lie down – so I’m off on my hols and back after Easter”
The BBC should fire the Hoon immediately!
There is of course another way to stop all this. When asked to vote by your candidate simply ask for a written pledge on what they will do when they are in office, such as scrap the license fee.
Consider that they are asking you to employ them and pay their salary, as such they are entering a contract with you. If they fail to vote accordingly then the voters sue them for breach of contract.
Gordon Brown has often stated his commitment to affordable housing. Well, do you think a hoon like Hoon could ever have afforded three houses without state subsidy?
Affordable housing is a laudable objective for any politician, unless they live in inner London where they can’t get the taxpayer to ‘afford’ it. Perhaps the best option for them would be to move out of London…
You are a Goldfish
Hoon doesn’t have nor has he ever had three houses.
You are easily confused.
The door’s just over there. Don’t slam it behind you, but just fuck off.
Ayn Rand was right.
By the way where has Atlas Shrugged off to?
Who cares?
Hoon, Darling, Smith and all of the other leeching bastards are due a joint COTY Award – Cnut Of The Year – and richly deserved if I may say so.
Just YOU lot remember that we know where YOU live
Ah, Albert, there you are. Fancy a month’s work?
I will pay YOU for the pleasure of this task
Some of the horrid, greedy, fat, ugly piggies are more equal than the other bacon suppliers
Oh and cyclopean piggies are absolutely the very most equal.
Not that I use it, but my bank has offered me, in a 5 page letter, a £250 overdraft facility at 20% interest – now what’s the current bank rate?
Tell ‘em YOUR terms. You’re a customer and by definition right.
When I bought a car recently they tried to stitch me up with
a vast-APR loan to pay for it. I told them the only kind of
loan I would be interested in was 0%. They said I couldn’t
have one of them so I paid cash up front. Hoons.
These Hoons simply don’t get it. All of this nest feathering makes them look so petty, so venal when as ministers of the Crown, supposedly they are running the country. Labour, new or otherwise, has proved that it really doen’t give a damn about those in poverty – they’re too busy looking after themselves. Ditto the union fatcats living in posh hotel suites while their members are kicked out of work.
No wonder this government’s performance is so poor- they’re more worried about their own Madoff schemes, than in doing the job they were elected for. Given this, is it any surprise the country is in a mess and what is the Great Larder in Chief doing – promising a review!! Yes – anything to clean the mess up before all the details get published and all the rest comes out. He really will be toast then.
Venality on this scale is unprecedented, even during the worst excesses of the 18th century. As a government, they are a laughing stock. I wonder if her Maj is thinking the unthinkable.
This country cannot afford these hypocrites any longer. They should be given the royal P45 and soon.
I forgot to add £1.40 for toothpaste and 80p for cotton buds – my supplementary claim attached – Jackie
You’ve forgotten to include your dildo love!
References to snouts in the trough are unfair to pigs.
Not an unreasonable view.
Pigs are more intelligent than many folk realise and consequently, suffer mental degradation in the agri-business environment Dogs and cats are brain dead in comparison but are of course oh so cute.
Too many MPs just don’t measure up to porkies’ high standards.
All second Homes and all goods such as television, bath plugs! Barbeques, Furniture etc etc. Should be the property of the state and handed back when they are no longer MP’s.
The houses and flats should be sold through estate agents and the money raised given to charity as should the other articles which should be sold at Auctions.
IF the former MP wishes to keep the goods they must pay the full price the Country paid for them. Any damaged goods should be charged to the individual.
These people must NOT get away with this.
I hope, when the full list is published, that people will not allow those MP’s, that have hammered the system, to be returned.
They should be thrown out.
Financial alert:
A new bull market is well underway in equity markets. This is not a bear rally or a bull-trap, it is a genuine market response to a massively oversold market.
If you want to make money then get in now before you miss the big rises.
All IMO of course.
You want to be over on share_rampers.com. Though I did by FTSE futures this morning, not convinced it isn’t another bear market rally. But you have to surf the waves…
This wave’s rising into a tsunami of a bull market. The amateurs haven’t even got their surfboards out of the attic yet and will jump on far too late as usual.
Come here Guido and lick the floor in front of me.
London listed companies with most of their revenue from outside the UK are worth a punt; those relying on domestic consumption are in a world of pain – see inter alia the car sales figures out his morning, an economic bellwether if ever there was one.
My kids + 1 box of manky Crayola could produce better. Im sorry, but People just cant recognise the characters. (Is the middle one Boris Johnson?)
Great subject let down by NAFF drawings!
Nah. My chin is bigger
Nick Robinson has had to take a holiday to clean out all the poo from his mouth. he’s been licking Brown’s backside for years now, poor thing. Does Gordon Brown ever claim for buying toilet roll? I bet now he doesn’t need it with 20,000 beeboids waiting to lick it shiny clean.
Mr Fawkes. Have there been any developments with regards to getting the un-redacted expenses list?
Nope.
Shame
We’re still censoring it.
Big surprise
Tra laa!
It will out you know. Or perhaps there’ll be an incident in the woods.
Ambrose! You’re back. Did you have a good holiday?
Labour.org had Haman Pride standing in for you.
It was quite embarrassing really. Couldn’t even get a decent Tra-Laa going.
Still, glad you’re back.
What do you make of all these Cabinet ministers thieving off the taxpayers?
I’m buying it and claiming the £300,000 on my expenses – Jackie
The revolving door in Politics:
Paul Clark MP’s website has been hacked. I think he’s a transport minister. Take a look:
http://www.labourisworking.com/
though plainly his website isn’t.
See that Sun political editor George Pascoe Watson has finally split up from girlfriend, Sky’s Kay Burley, according to page 42 of the Mail on Sunday yesterday.
Lorna Dunkley this p.m. then…..
Guido Fawkes astro turfer, bought and paid for Ashcroft bunny.
Conservatives lie with tax evaders.
Financial misconduct = Conservatives
I was wondering where you were.
Guido Fawkes, astroturfer Ashcroft bunny and now ‘how predictable’ sock puppet.
Financial misconduct = Conservatives
Actually that was me you tit.
Ah, here’s Kim Peek with his Monday morning insights direct from the ‘bin.
Inquisition. You are using words without knowing their meaning. From answers.com, “the term Astroturf is used to describe formal public relations projects which deliberately give the impression that they are spontaneous and populist reactions. The term comes from AstroTurf — the fake grass used in many indoor American football stadiums. The contrast between truly spontaneous or “grassroots” efforts and an orchestrated public relations campaign, is much like the distinction between real grass and AstroTurf.”
Mr Fawkes has attacked Spellman, the Wintertons and Conway, all Conservative politicians. This dosen’t seem to fit your description to well.
Labour = Financial competence – not.
Eerily silent about Ashcroft taxes and Spencers’ stock exchange problems though.
The reason for that is because Guido is a bought and paid for by spivs astroturfing operation. Mildly attacking selected Conservatives also serves the objective of underming the public’s trust in parliament, that is the aim of the PR exercise, reduce voter turn out which benefits the Conservatives and distract attention away from the financial sector corruption, which resulting monumental losses the electorate itself will have to bail out.
Financial misconduct = Conservatives
The Inquisition is a paranoid conspiracy theorist – Atlas Shrugged returns!
More non-jobs. We’re so happy our hard earned tax is being put to good use.
1) Extended Services Development Co-ordinators – £34,605

http://jobs.guardian.co.uk/job/842431/extended-services-development-co-ordinators/
2) Safeguarding Adults Promotions Officer – £26,139
Your role involves making sure nobody discovers the porno material council employees put on expenses.
http://jobs.guardian.co.uk/job/842592/safeguarding-adults-promotions-officer/
3) Anti-Social Behaviour Policy & Projects Officer – £35,000
You role involves teaching yoof to behave in an anti-social manner like many MPs, like shagging hookers on government property.
http://jobs.guardian.co.uk/job/838287/anti-social-behaviour-policy-and-projects-officer/
4) Short Breaks Co-ordinator – £45,000
Your role involves arranging free jollys for under-worked council employees.

(*** Disclaimer *** all non-jobs run the risk of being terminated at the next election unless you vote for Labour)
I see Mr Dale is running a post about how Gordon The Great Saviour of the World claimed £16k in ACA.
WTF?
He had a flat in London classed as his second home – as soon as he sold it – he redesignated his family home as his second house.
Erm – now how is that different from Hoon since Downing St is clearly a grace and favour home same as Admiralty House…
Oh yes and Dharling has been playing musical homes too according to the DT. Is there anyone in HMG that isn’t taking the piss?
Admittedly you are spectacularly stupid and deserve some latitude.
However the allowance in question is the Additional Living Allowance. It is an allowance consequnet from having two residences. It is not a second home allowance.
Yes it’s plain that this is beyond your powers of comprehension.
Never mind.
Defending the indefensible is a clear sign of lacking a grasp on reality.
More medication is required, if not incarceration in a secure unit.
Or just go back to Dolly and prepare for a slap.
Why don’t you contact them directly and tell them what you think

And BTW Jacqui Smiths web page is a SCREAM.
http://www.jacquismithmp.labour.co.uk/
Especially the headline:
Use government money to keep down Council house rents urges MP
I liked this title:
“Jacqui’s video library”.
Could you add G Brown as well – I have just read that he has been filling his boots as well – surprise surprise – NOT
This is the type of thing that led to George W Bush being elected, twice.
Car sales 140,000 down. Mandelson gives Indian Tata billion pounds of taxpayer money. UK laughing stock.
The Hoon pig is spot on.
And I don’t mean the Jacqui one.
I literally mean the Hoon one.
As in Geoff Hoon.
The thieving hoon.
The answers to this one over on LabourLost might be interesting
http://www.labourlist.org/tell_me_why_i_should_continue_to_support_labour
Sadly, they won’t let me comment. Perhaps I upset someone?
Mr Penguin. As you well know you are banned from every wrong thinking site on the internet.
no lost me on this one guido , is the middle one boris ??? LOL
How is it that there are so many people in the country who are absolutely livid to find the politicians living off their hard earned money paid in taxes and NOTHING is being done about it. The majority of the nation are affected and completely helpless to correct the situation.
What a society and what a gaumless lot of complainers we are…..
Don’t vote your M.P. back in at the next Election. Select completely new Candidates who are honest, trustworthy, and fair.
