Police Investigating McNulty
Police have been asked by a member of the public to investigate a claim that Tony McNulty may have ‘obtained pecuniary advantage by deception’. What would Father Dominic say McNulty?

Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
Can’t wait for all this foaming at the mouth to reach its conclusion so that we can all concentrate on attacking the government for being, well, shit at being in government.
HM QE2 could, of course, increase her popularity by just dissolving Parliament it is about the only power she has left. Her representative, John Kerr, did just that in Australia.
It started in America…
While this story is the talking point of the day down here in Brisbane, there isn’t even a single mention on the BBC’s international webpage – until you dig. Then Nick Robinson decides that this isn’t a big story at all – ‘small beer’ he calls it.
The question should be ‘ who’ll be the first against the wall now that the revolution is here?’
You couldn’t make it up.
We’ll be transporting a boatload of crims down to Oz soon. No wonder you’re all talking a bout it.
No it started in thew HoC
By the looks of it some of them won’t be in Govt, they’ll be in prison.
Really? Honestly, what do you think the chances of that happening are?
Just rename “Her Majesty’s Palace, Westminster” to “HM Prison Westminster”.
It would have all been more tolerable if it wasn’t such a shit treacherous government.
GUIDO,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE START A CAMPAIGN TO MARCH ON PARLIAMENT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.EVEN IF IT WAS A CROSS PARTY MARCH. WE NEED TO DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY AGAINST THESE FRAUDSTERS
PLEASE I BEG YOU GUIDO.
SEMO
Yes ! Yes! Yes ! Lets do it lets march!
Yes, lets send them all home and petition the Queen to dissolve the current Parliament.
The solution is the ballot box not the courts.
In all the cases of fraud we need people to run in that constituency on an anti fraud platform at the next election to give voters the chance to register a protest vote against the sitting MP without necessarily supporting an opposition party whom they wouldn’t vote for.
This might be suitably targeted in each case eg an anti porn campaign in Jacqui Smith’s case or just a don’t vote for corruption, spoil your ballot in others.
Most of these candidates will not win but they may so undermine the sitting MP as to get them out and scare the shit out of the corrupt, lying dishonest rabble and now infest Parliament.
The solution is JAIL. That’s where fraudsters belong.
Its not just the petty thievery worth millions the Ikea-carrybag hooners are indulging in, its the multi-billions Bliar and McRuin and the 16-home-flipper Darling minion have bequeathed the next three parliaments that merit a dungeon each in the Tower.
We need both. Brown and his merry band of thieves are not going to investigate their own.
1) Tories stand on their anti-fraud platform and see of the incumbent;
2) Tories in office initiate police investigations into all Labour criminal activity, including the Iraq war.
Labour should be ground into dust – crushed totally.
http://faustiesblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/crush-your-enemy-totally.html
Hmm. This tactic might just succeed in splitting the votes against the sitting sleazebag and allow him/her/it back for another fraud fest.
Sh*t at government they are alright, but they are obviously sh*t hot at thieving from the public purse.
Lovely video, Guido!
And what about the rest of these muthas?
Quite so.
Especially that greasy, corrupt snake Keith Vaz who it seems has been caught out trousering thousands of GBP for a “second home” i.e. an expensive flat just 12 miles from his main home – a 1.2 Million GBP residence in London, which is located close to Westminster. Vaz also has another house at his constituency in Leicester, for which he has also claimed second home allowance by switching.
I’ve always thought that Vaz was a sly bastard with his nose permanently in the trough. He deserves the same kind of police investigation as McNulty.
Vas represents 26% of the UK oil reserves and is untouchable.
So report him then
I am. I’m a member fo the public after all.
Report them all. Everyone.
http://cms.met.police.uk/met/boroughs/city_of_westminster/09contact_us/index
Contact them using the above numbers, tell them you think a fraud is being committed. They HAVE to log it and they HAVE to investigate. By law.
Vaz is a Huhnee
Vas ? Vas ?! Pleas,e the correct form of address: The Right HOOnourable, Keith Vasoline, the most oleaginous MP in the Palace of Westminster.
We need a Vazectomey at the next election!
Why all this ‘GBP’ stuff? Stick to £ please.
when I knew Vaz he called himself Nigel Vaz not Keith. He cahnged to Keith because he thought it more socialist……………and yes he was a real banker
McNulty and Vaz greed comes as no surprise. Both are arrogant pigs.
For those on suicide watch my advice would be take a short walk from Parliament across Westminster bridge and
JUMP
you scumbags.
Yes, please, a mass suicide of Labour troughers over Westminster Bridge.
“Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty.”
We don’t want to pollute the Thames with this trash.
From the Great Stink of 1858 to the Great Sink of 2009 – nothing really changes much.
If some of these sleazebags fell down a conveniently opened manhole just outside Parliament, would that count as sewercide?
A rush by the elected Gadarene swine (“for we are Legion”) de nos jours. I’d pay to watch that.
If one of the sleazebags fell down a “manhole” just outside Parliament it would mean they had been walking over Phil Woolas by mistake.
Let us not be deceived by the throwing of a lamb to the wolves
If these are the lambs – by God, the sheep are going to be bad.
Let the wolves have ‘em!
It’s an odd thought that HMG may have been taken over by a criminal gang.We mock East European”Mafia” states but are we any better now?
One group that I suspect may be totally demoralised are the constituency party activists.Whatever their politics they try to keep the democratic process going.They must feel incredibly let down by these pirates.
Many of them were either muscled out of the way by greedier people or gave up in disgust years ago. The Labour Party where I live has to pay to deliver its glossy leaflets: the party has collapsed even though the MP is actually quite well liked personally and commutes into Westminster on the underground. He is retiring, expected to be replaced in his hitherto safe seat by a policy drone.
What is not coming out of all this in the national press is an understanding that the fish has been rotting from the head for years. Many local Councillors have the same parasitic attitudes these days as well.
I would bet that many ex-Labour party members are disgusted but not really that suprised by what has been going on. Hence the schadenfreude.
The wolves are hungry though. Thinking about the phrase ‘there’s no prude like a reformed whore’ – you can’t lecture folk with bullshit – it has to be facts & interesting. These conceited bunch are having a laugh – not one of them is doing a proper audit – first fucking job you do. Hey ho – I want scalps.
We need Georgia Gould in Labour!
348 – and we’re going to get an 18-year-old Bennite as well, the infantilisation of the nation is complete, well done the psychologically flawed snoteater.
What we have is serious organised crime at Westminster.
What we need is to do the same as the Italians had to do with the Mafia. A dedicated police team, an independent and hard nosed prosecutor, and a judge or judges that has not been bought.
How much do they cost? I’ll put it on my expenses.
Memento tangentopoli?
What we have is serious organised crime at Westminster.
What we need is to do the same as the Italians had to do with the Mafia. A dedicated police team, an independent and hard nosed prosecutor, and a judge or judges that have not been bought.
As for arresting the person or persons who put the criminal information into the public domain, I would urge the police not to do it.
There is such fury among the public that such a disgraceful act has the potential to provoke widespread public disorder
Let’s have Elisabeth Filkin back.
Give her carte blanch to go where the money has gone.
Her own prosecutors (no CPS manipulation).
Sorry for the repetition, my computer has a stutter.
The problem now is that our Government is regarded with the same derision and contempt abroad as it is at home.
What can be done about it?
Anon77 – quite provocative language in an election year – we don’t ‘need’ to do shit. It’s what you do that counts. Lifetime of struggle for glimpses of glory. Fuck this ethic and fuck this cabal – i’ll do it as hobby.
Let them arrest the leaker. Let them call for his or her liberty, then let them feel the publics’ wrath!
Yes indeed. Imagine being asked to pay your subs and deliver leaflets in order to keep these shits at the trough!
When he starts bitching, can we say “It’s all with in the rules.”
Who is “A spokesman for McNulty?”
And who is paying him?
You are going down McNulty:
“7. There are two basic requirements which must be met before any of the three limbs of the new offence can be charged. First, the behaviour of the defendant must be dishonest.[2] Second it must also be his intention to make a gain, or cause a loss to another.[3] However, there will no longer be any need to prove that a gain or loss has been made, or that any victim was deceived by the defendant’s behaviour. Each of the three limbs of the offence carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.
8. Section 2 makes it an offence to commit fraud by false representation in any form. For a representation to be false, the representation being made must be wrong or misleading, and the person making it must know that it is, or might be, wrong or misleading.”
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/about-us/publications/home-office-circulars/circulars-2006/042-2006/
Jonathon, the problem with that is, well, erm, that’s the rules for us plebs. We all know it’s a different kettle of fish for the current administration. Stand by for:
‘Insufficient evidence of wrongdoing.’
‘Not in the Public interest.’
‘It was within the rules but perhaps not within the spirit.’
‘Administrative error.’
while for anyone outside the ‘club’ the rule is “no ifs, no buts”, “ignorance of the law is no excuse”.
unless of course your BT in which case its “no criminal intent”
money talks, as always
What about the J.Straw defence – ‘Accountancy is not my strongest suit ‘.
I think that’s an absolute bareface classic.
The BBC had a tax expert explaining on Saturday morning that MPs’ expenses are already in a special class – ‘exempt expenses’, if I heard him correctly.
Unlike the rest of us* they do not have to show that the expenses they claimed are necessary to do their job.
I wonder who legislated for that exemption.
To my surprise, they also broadcast a commentator describing MPs as participating jointly in a criminal conspiracy. If even Auntie admits it, things are getting bad.
—
*Apart from ministers of religion, he said. Presumably their purchases of sweets for choirboys are automatically deemed OK.
….and of course parliamentary privilege
@ Eric:
Interestingly, the legal term for participating jointly in a criminal conspiracy is having a “Common Purpose.”
Hmmmm…
or “what fraud”
Unfortunately, I have the utmost faith that either the police or the CPS will declare that “a prosecution would not be in the public interest” or that there is “insufficient evidence to prosecute”. The system works against the public and in favour of the ruling party; we, the people, deserve better.
Due to tremendous public demand “His Lordship” has asked me to advise you that he has decided to reconvene the Court to sit in “Special Session” to hear evidence before delivering his judgment. He is of course related distantly to those eminent lawyers who so ably conducted the prosecution at Nuremburg and can be relied upon to deliver the just sentence once the jurors have deliberated and delivered their verdict although he feels he should indicate that he is not disposed to exercise Mercy if the defendant(s) are found guilty but alas Mr Pierrepoint is no longer with us so we may have to settle for “Community Service” with the obligatory orange vest marked “Thieving Hoon” in black on the reverse !
“……..we, the people, deserve better.”
Maybe we have got what we deserve.
Good to see you’re UK ruling class are following my fine example. Hyperinflation soon and widespread corruption in your ruling elite. Keep up the good work Gordon. Next stage is for you to start murdering the opposition
“…murdering the opposition”
I thought they had already done that with a couple of pain killers and a blunt knife, in the woods.
Don’t forget John Smith’s death:
http://didnwofabiansmurderjohnsmithmp.blogspot.com/
That was very convenient for New Labour.
I actually thought that was convenient for Conservatives. It caused serious disruption in Labour ranks.
John Smith
Dr Kelly
Robin Cook
Hugh Gaitskell
The list grows . .
“soon … widespread corruption”
What do you mean; soon?
Where have you been to be so out of touch, Zimba…oh, yeah well
He’s only been out of touch because he reads Toenails’ blog.
Has McBride turned up yet?
and MiLady Baroness Udderly disgusting?
I wonder how many Dishonourable Members of the House of Common Criminals are now on suicide watch?
All of them, I hope.
What makes the whole scandal reek even more is the fact that on the very same day it was announced that child poverty in the UK was at it’s worse since the 1960s.
No-one has jumped off a cliff yet. You just can’t believe a word from the Labour spin machine.
I’d pay to watch some of these troughers commit suicide, even if they had some help.
All proceeds to charidee; the British Taxpayer
Obviously a good day to bury bad news; what were we supposed to be burying again?
Democracy
It must be quite Harrowing for the poor fellow.
Nope not nearly enough – when he’s dangling off a lamp-post will come close.
Hear Hear.
More power to my elbow which appears to be stuck in the s-bend.
Ahhhhhhhh!
I do love the split splat sound of the shit hitting the fan in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rumour has it he also hits the phone,wall and printer!!!!!!!!!!
Its all in the DATABASE!
haha.
it’s hard to read between the lines because you don’t have any. say a bit more if you are in the know
This current NeuLabour trousering makes the so-called Tory sleaze years under John Major look quaintly inept in comparison.
Spin Doctor
Sobering thought for you.
What we are experiencing now ,will,in a few short years be:
“The good old days”
It is only by the efforts of people like “Guido” and our support of them and our constant vigilance that we can look back and say that we are progressing.
Yes I hear the Hamiltons are worried about their celebrity status now they have been exposed as penny ante rank amateurs.
Oh no, that’s not true – they have the peculiar advantage of being tried in court about Brown bags.
Not like this mob who’ve swag-bagged under Brown!
You know, you’ve just got to hand it to Blair.
He milked the system for all it was worth, he stitched the country up big time, he took cash for honours, he lied like a trooper and allowed parliament to degenerate into a cesspit of corruption.
But he got out before the shit hit the fan, no one yet no one is feeling his collar and that deserves respect.
What do you expect, he’s a lawyer – articulate guano
There are some things that having a legal privileged wife can get a prime minister that even MPs who are lawyers can’t get.
Yeah, but to have to wake up to that face every morning. I think I’d prefer the Scrubs.
I couldn’t bring myself to even admit that I’d even shagged that whilst pissed let alone marry it of my own volition. Even worse to impregnate it for the benefit of public opinion whilst fisting the country is the mark of a true professional; someone who goes through and beyond what could be reasonably asked of a human being for the good of his own pocket. The very thought gives me a terminal floppy…
Flacid – you owe me one new keyboard, this one is now covered in coffee.
Thank you.
What did you expect? Bliar is a jock twat and jock twats have been fucking up the Country for 12 years.
I want to see Phony B’liars’ expense receipts. Anyone got them?
Why wait for the police to fcuk up or otherwise muddy the waters and make any charges meaningless? Turn the thieving scum into lampost ornaments ASAP. It’s the only language they’ll ever understand.
Great mash-up.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Rumours are that the Tories are up on Monday so the Sunday edition must be a corker.
The Times are in real sour grapes mode and holding their nose about ‘cheque-book’ journalism. Silly them for not publishing.
The one person who appears to have got away with it so far is one Tony Blair – old Teflon just shredded his ‘by accident’ when he doubled his expense claims
Balls and Cooper have not yet featured. I do enjoy a Sunday roast
The three Labour backbenchers having an affair on me should also be named & shamed.
Especially if it is a spit and she is one of the good looking birds from Channel #903
I hope Guido can feature this photo – it deserves iconic status, endlessly repeated, like Brillo Pad and the tart in Private Eye. Slotgob’s face in the background makes it work so well.
Where is it?
http://plato-says.blogspot.com/2009/05/sharpest-cookie.html
Thanks Dogger.
McShifty, Udders Uddin, Jacquboot, Meddlesome of Boy – top four for pruning. Where’s me secateurs? I’ll personally hand down some fine-scale habitat management, long overdue.
Uddin gets a sort of triple protection due to her ethnicity, religious beliefs, sex and being a member of the party…erh sorry that’s four. Anyway being a Muslim shouldn’t she be distancing herself from the pigs with snouts in the trough? Obviously greed takes precedence over belief when it’s such a lucrative trough to feed from.
Hey, Uddin – OINK!
For precisely which reasons, the porker should be halaled without further delay.
I;ve seen it all now. Some Labour MP bint just came on Sky and said her £250 m for a new bog seat was frugal. you are Wrong love, a bog seat from the pound shop for £1 is being frugal, a bog seat for £250 is taking the piss out of the taxpayer and I suspect is most probably criminal fraud.
why would they need bog seats. the only shit that comes from them is through their lying mouths!
Why oh why will no New Labour MP buy me? Do they not want to plant their fat arses on my (admittedly non-luxurious) melamine-shrouded chipboard and dump a load through my adequately sized posterior aperture? Why am I always losing out to John Lewis? What makes their butt-cutout any better?
I’ve broken more bog seats than I’ve had hot dinners.
Well … actually … on second thoughts, it’s about the same.
John Prescott: “I couldn’t give 2 shits about the public, and I have the seats to prove it!”
Have you seen my arse? To be honest, I’ve not seen my feet for 20 years. This is all water down the pan to me. I’m getting out of politics now that my constituency has turned down my lad as a replacement. Made my stash and ‘er indoors can have her hair done twice a week. Thank you very much. Gullible bloody voters the lot of you. Feck off.
Just read the court reports in any local paper up and down the country to see what happens to the “little people” who are found to have stolen or defrauded anything of such a frugal value !
and……… what did you find? As if we don’t know already.
“frugal ” – Nicolae (solid gold bath fittings) Ceauşescu told me so.
I wonder how this lot will cope in the real world when they get kicked out of Parliament Can you imagine it – Shopping “Gawd darlink that toilet seat’s ONLY 20 quid are you sure what’s wrong with it cos that’s sooooo cheap “
what is it with all the toilet seats?
Please do not forget that Brown in his first budget
gave a 75pence rise to OAPs. The greedy load of gits
What the OAP’s?
… the relative pronoun should refer back to the antecedent. Sigh, the things you were taught back in the 50s.
I have never claimed benefits in my life and you sound like a right Huhne.
No, you had a Romanian Community Outreach Worker claim them for you!
Paid for out of the shagging he gave people saving into pension plans by removing dividend tax relief—the very first thing he did in 1997 the snivelling devious bastard.
Kit Kat from the mini bar on expenses, caught in the act, they are all nothing but amateur shoplifters………what a wholly pathetic lot.
To be fair to Hazel she was feeling lonely in her hotel room.
The three Kit kat chunkies melted very quickly & they didn’t have any fun size Mars bars left in the mini fridge.
Dwarf redminges are insatiable
Note the Communities Secretary(well until 5 June ) – There is a perfectly good Travel Lodge at the “old” County Hall building – £59.95 a night AND it’s a two minute walk from House of Commons(where there is a subsidised “Restaurant if you do not wish to avail yourself of the £4.95 Breakfast on offer at Travel Lodge!) So why stay at “Zetters” which is further out and charges £200 per room per night ?
Excellent hope the scumbag goes down and rots in jail
Thinking hypothetically, if the whole greedy lot of the thieving gits went to gaol, would they get the OAP not paying her council tax on time tariff (the maximum) or the serial burglar tariff (comunity service)?
Interestingly, during a recent court martial held in Portsmouth several junior service persons were convicted of making fraudulent claims and punished accordingly; I wonder if any tried the clerical error, within the rules but not the spirit, or it’s now been repaid (bugger I’ve been caught) lines of defence?
Thinking hypothetically, if the whole greedy lot of the thieving gits went to gaol, would they get the OAP not paying her council tax on time tariff (the maximum) or the serial burglar tariff (community service)?
“It’s all within the rules”
Didn’t Hitler’s supporters say something similar at Nuremberg?
This morning’s Times editorial says that it’s “simply untrue” that MPs “have established for themselves a remarkable package with rules that allow them to line their pockets at public expense. ”
The Times also appears to think that it’s the press’s fault for printing the claims, and the hypocritical taxpayers’ fault for being outraged at discovering the secret behaviour of their elected representatives.
I wonder which Government apparatchik drafted this stuff for them to print?
Bnndsh Uunffd Oikslk MMMMnsss
probably just miffed they haven’t got the details first.
this uncensored stuff on wikileaks yet?
Just for the record, I talked to an old workmate of Two Arse-Holes Prescott this week and the Fat Ignorant Bastard was a cleaner in the ferry galleys. Wearing rubber boots and oilskins to protect him from the shite, he cleaned the massive cooking utensils and soup tureens. The creativity over his cv came much later, when he was being groomed for politics. The workmate had no recollection of him ever doing service as a steward.
Even a steward was known as a piss pot handler and was considered one of the lowest ranks in the merchant navy, they were paid a pittance and were expected to suck hole passengers to earn a crust, most of them were golden rivet spotting extrovert raving benders as well.
So that’s why he served me gin without the tonic…untrained bastard…
But now he sings…
The working class may kiss my arse
I’ve got ,the foreman job at least
to the tune of the Communist International…
They all had visions of grandeur.
They would mix with the rich cruise passengers while on duty but be banned from passenger decks when not, they also had to sleep in bunks of up to six to a small cabin below sea level and with very little ventilation.
We were under strict instructions to wheel key and drop over the side any of the morons we caught anywhere near the engine or boiler room.
The engine room crew out of the kindness of their hearts once tried to teach a few of them to swim while we were anchored off one of the Fiji islands by putting a rope around their waists.
(Fuckers didn’t even make good shark bait!}
The seamen’s mission is full of the lonely deluded wankers with visions of grandeur who only got to see the good life from the sidelines.
How far can you trust the Telegrapah these days? Plenty of people think Za-nu-Lab has it’s greasy tentacles in their somewhere? Drinking buddies of McBride etc etc etc etc
55,280 signatures this morning
If he quits, does he get a pension? What happens if he’s simply impeached?
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/please-go/
If he has a STROKE and dies… do we have to still pay the koonts pension to that FAG-HOUND of a bitch whore wife of his ?
Another 4000 and it’ll have double the support of the next most popular petition.
it needs a million to be effective
He’d enjoy picking up the dropped bar of soap in the jail shower.

When do we let the dogs off the leash on Euro expenses. Timing must be soon with the Euro elections.
The current UK stuff is merely a drop in the ocean compared to that story. Clearly we should limit expenses to a set amount until under proven control. Quite happy to stop the gravy train going to Strasburg on a mega fest once a month.
Just a another thought, is the UK’s €3bn (£2bn) annual budget rebate, which was won by Margaret Thatcher in 1984 still in force? Im not sure, a lot seems to have happened, under this new management.
Most of that given away by Blair as a bribe to amend the Common Agricultural Policy (not). Also EU subscriptions now denominate in Euros. Watch the UK costs rocket as the pound sinks as quantitative easing continues.
EU accounts have not been audited for 14yrs. Apparently, no honest accountant will sign them off.
What do you mean that no honest accountant would sign them off. If you dared to question them you got sacked. Ask Marta Andreassen. But then Neil Kinnock was a trougher at the EU pigpen too. They couldn’t even get an EU Accountant to sign them off.
animal farm lets not cloud the issue shall we Get these bastards 1st & the others 2nd
I expect as McNulty is being investigated, that he will resign his post “To clear his name”
It cannot be right for a person to be investigated for dishonesty when he is in charge of a department that investigates and prosecutes benefit cheats.
Resign now… better still … admit contrition and resign your seat and in your resignation statement bring the rest of them down with you. at least that way you will have some vestage of honour left.
Sorry .forgot my tag above at 45.
Let it be known that Tom McNulty never, ever (well hardly ever) claimed for a vest on expenses. Certainly not one with the words Honour on it. He only ever claimed for the one with Mr Thief on.
Thugs don’t do honour…
If a Police officer is being investigated for a serious criminal allegation he is suspended immediately. Why doesthis not apply to Government ministers ?
Is it within the rules?
Little wonder then that Phil Woolas can’t look brave and patriotic Ghurkas in the eye.
I suppose that the claims for nappies were a year or two ago?
I am no expert but from the way Joanna Lumley dealt with him I would say that he had been out of them for a year or more.
Does Phil Woolas wear nappies and womens’ clothes or something? I just don’t understand.
That would be the charitable explanation. The alternative is that he claimed for something which was not “wholly and exclusively” pertaining to his employment – and that might give rise to criminal charges.
I don’t have photoshop. Come on can’t somebody produce a picture of Prescott with a loo seat round his neck standing alongside Draper with the lifebelt around his. Would sell well as a poster
Please could you add Woolarse dressed as Captain Blackadder, with a tampon up each nostril, and a pair of frilly knickers on his head, going “wibble, wibble”. Actually – don’t – it might encourage him to plead insanity. I’m off to get my gourd sharpened.
In any other walk in life, people who do these things are:
dismissed immediately
required to repay misappropriated money
considered for prosecution
oh, and not paid compensation for being out of a job.
What is it about MPs that makes them different?
“What is it about MPs that makes them different?”
That most of them have never held down a proper job must be near the top of the list.
I dunno. A lot of fat cat executives enjoy similar, if not better, lifestyles at the shareholders’ expense. They are rarely challenged as you’d be out of a job in an eyeblink. I think something similar has been happening here, that those checking the expenses had precious little management support when it came to challenging flagrant abuse of the rules. It may be obvious they’re at it but getting the proof is very difficult and you need that to make serious accusations against a powerful person. That is one of the reasons corruption flourishes. That and human greed of course.
I think you have it there – can you imagine some lowly Clerk standing up to an MP (especially a Minister) and getting away with it?
Poor impulse control.
http://thenarcissistandpsychopath.synthasite.com/their-smear-campaign.php
What? What? What?
Pleasing to see Peter Oborne on BBC news having a go at BBC journalists for their inability to criticising MPs and the government more forcefully. We need more people bringing out the truth of what goes on in public bodies we as tax payers finance.
Wonder what Police top brass and heads of government quangos can claim on expenses?
I saw that. What a great performance from Peter. He went fkin apoplectic !
Much of their cowardice still comes from them backing down on the PROVEN RIGHT 45 minutes claim. After that ZanuLabour has used the BBC as their overly obedient talking shop.
Campbell has a lot to answer for.
He accused Robinson of ‘parroting’. I didn’t know he could crack peanuts in his beak…
I thought I’d heard of just about every kind of sexual perversion. But what is ‘parroting’?
A bit like the mallarkey with hamsters ‘cept the parrot can tell you when its had enough.
Sarah, I believe the reference here refers to mindlessly repeating whatever nulab tell him to say. However, if you wish to further explore sexual exotica drop round to my place.
Could a kind tax inspector explain to me why these M.P.’s are allowed to get away with what looks like tax evasion – perhaps some of them could/should be included in the 50% tax rate? There seems to be one rule for the average taxpayer and one for the M.P.s
It’s because there’s one set of rules for MPs and another set of rules for everyone else. That’s why.
Simples…
Grandma B, it works this way.
MP’s salaries are taxed, just like everyone else.
However their allowances are “exempt income” which means that they are not subject to tax in any way.
Everyone else who receives allowances or expenses has to show that they are “wholly, necessarily and exclusively” for the purposes of their employment, and to see how tight this definistion is look up on the HMRC website “Mallelieu v Drummond” in which a trainee barrister was refused a claim for clothing which was only used in court because it also provided “a modicum of warmth and decency”.
Note also please that MP’s are not allowed to use the on-line submission of tax returns like the rest of us plebs.
Perhaps the way to deal with it is to change the rules so that the allowances are subject to tax backdated to say 1983 when the rules were first changed to provide serious allowances.
Dear UK Fred
Thank you.
All I can say how very, very, very convenient for our M.P.s to be taxed, or, more appropriately not taxed like this.
I’ll read the HMRC website with interest, but there’s no way they’ll get this plebs tax return on line.
UK Fred, grandma B,
Interestingly, although MPs exempted themselves from tax rules on their expenses, their own rules (the Green Book) are very clear.
The Green Book states that the expenses must be “wholly, necessarily and exclusively incurred for the purpose of performing parliamentary duties”.
Just like the tax rules.
Obviously, mock tudor beams are wholly necesary for an MP to perform his parliamentary duties.
Any chance of getting them on capital gains tax?
Interesting suggestion in the article by Charles Moore (under the cartoon entitled Cleaning Services) in the Telegraph, which says “One hopes that the Inland Revenue will also correlate the sale of “second” homes by M.P.s with its tax records…….or did they suddenly decide that the house was, after all, their principal residence, and so avoid paying any tax at all?
What do you think? I guess these Hoons have got that one sorted!
That Bitch who claimed £250 was frugal for a toilet seat !
DOES SHE THINK PEOPLE ARE FOOKING STUPID. ?
I have trawled the internet & the most expensive one I can find is about £100. The most expensive one that John Lewis have is £92 for a solid designer walnut one.

ivory toilet seat with gold dust?
I am reliably informed that these were a “themochromic” toilet seats.
Prezza needed it to ensure his fag warmed the seat nicely before he sat on it.
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/01/thermochromic-t/
A proper Police investigation would cross reference receipt with invoice, just to ensure the two were the same. Any difference would be where the fraud is.
A front loading extra-wide commode costs £269.25 here http://www.firstaidwarehouse.co.uk/xpl-toileting__521,xpg-page-0-size-10-order-price_desc.html
Maybe she keeps her shit afraid she might end up on the DNA database.
This one is nice… Computerized Toilet Seat with Twelve Button Remote Control. Features two separate water nozzles for the anterior and posterior that spray the user with warm aerated water. mmm.
http://www.resourcesforlife.com/docs/item1421
Its driving me phooking nuts. Even is I search the world – no koont sells a toilet seat for £250.
I am selling mine for £300……. scratched and wonky….. do you want it……10% off for cash
Don’t know if I want to drop the price…..it is already a good price. However, I do have a second toilet seat which although slightly worse wearing ( crack on the rear end, through heavy use after eating two helpings of curry) which I am willing to sell for a bargain of £230.
Given that your employer may smell a rat…… buying the two together and then spreading the cost over two financial years, could work………. creatove accounting you see. Clever eh?
What do you think, do you think you could get away with it?
I suspect it was £10 for the bog seat and £240 for a little man from the village to come out and fit it.
Needless to say, the little man would never consider voting for anyone else.
Quite a lot of these expenses come under the heading ‘buying votes from the locals’.
How dare you…… I utterly refute the allegation, I will be consulting my solicitor and consider suing you for such a slur. Libelous I tell you. I am a Honourable Smurf in fact I am the Papa of Smurfs. I get smurflings to do my cleaning. The Rules state that all papasmurfs are entitled to change their toilet seats once after every crap. How do you think we papasmurfs survive on the pay that the smurflings manage to pay after scouring the Commom(s)???????
You will hear from Smurf, Smurf and McSmurf by return of post.
Would a bathplug do? Might let you have the Jaquiboots discount if you gurn nicely.
maybe £250 includes fitting
You can have both of mine for £100. My arse doesn’t fit properly and aim is poor. Wife chose the mock Tudor finish.
I expect it was lined in swansdown, like that of a famous Victorian Mayfair tart. Top seats for top bottoms!
I remember that seat….
Went to that tarts place with my girlfriend..
it was luvly…
250? Now where did I hear that number before? Oh yes… if you went over that you had to produce a receipt.
So do we have anything other than this MPs word for the price? Or even that the bog flap existed in the first place?
Brilliant, tourism Minister spends 25K on security, ‘ because she feels insecure in London’ . Those of us who thought champagne socialists don’t do irony, were clearly wrong !!!!
Dear old beeboids quick to run with ‘police investigating leaks’ interference play. How about ‘police investigating complaints by outraged members of public’ ?
I saw that on the BBC news (labour ,propaganda service)earlier. How does a potential police investigation in to a possible criminal act eclipse actual criminal acts occurring daily by the ruling classes? I wonder who called in the police in the first place? Was the same folk who didn’t like opposition MPs telling everyone about their dirty underhanded sleaze campaigns?
Cost to the public purse for keeping neurotic, scared women in London = £25,000
Cost to the public purse for keeping one gang rape victim a virtual prisoner in her own home for 4 years =
A failed police investigation.
A failure in case building by CPS
A failed IPCC investigation.
A second failed police investigation.
Cost = Unknown, possibly 100,000
Counselling services for victim over a four year period, £10,000 – ongoing.
Social Security cost dues to deteriorating mental and physical health. approx £30000
Lost of career/business to the victim, approx £100,000 to date.
Compensation paid to the victim by Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority = £0.00
You should be glad that violent crime has been reduced by 99 per cent since Labour came to power.
Otherwise, just think what I would have had to charge for my private security arrangements.
You know I was mugged myself a few years back by three Ruskis. Unfortunately I could not get the taxpayer to provide me a free round the clock security service so I had to take responsibility for my own personal safety. I stopped walking home alone half drunk at 3 am through the back streets of provincial central asian cities and I’ve never been done since. Those are the rules you need to follow.

Why are these fuckers using the excuse of “its the system”. Do they not realise they are elected to GOVERN over the populace? Who gives a fuck what the system allows. Expenses are a rebate of costs incurred of doing your job, not free fucking gravey.
Good governance doesnt allow you to pillage the system just because the rules are lax. Good governance means delivering the best possible outcome to your stakeholders / shareholders / electorate at the lowest risk or cost.
Without the ability to govern themselves as individuals, they clearly have no legitamacy of governing over the rest of us. Election Now. Prosecutions to follow. A good long spell in chokey for the lot of them.
Looking for Balls and Ball’Sac expenses being revealed.
As for McNulty hope the tub thumping bullshitter gets dry humped in perpetuity.
They created the system, so its self admission of incompetence.
WTF has “Good governance” got to do with zanulaba?
If the government had done a great job for the last 12 years, I wouldn’t want them strung up*, but they haven’t and I do.
* I’d still demand they were treated and taxed like a normal employee.
Its known as acting in good faith or acting in bad faith.
For this tribe bad faith is all they know.
Nice vid. Who is the fat git drinking the Guiness though?

When are the police going to wake up to the shit-storm they are creating by allowing themselves to be politicised. The public expects them to enforce the law of the land with an even hand and not be influenced by anyone, regardless of position, in pursuit of the truth.
The powers given to the police have allowed the worst officers to act like little Hitlers. The rights of public assembly are being eroded; anti-terrorism laws are being used and abused to suit any purpose they see fit; tactics such as kettleing, in itself a danger to the public, is seen as the norm; and officers that in their day to day conduct treat the public like scum, harassing and swearing at the man in the street, arresting member of the public under public order laws if you so much as swear to/in front of them.
I don’t expect the police to investigate anything. The upper management are as career driven as the MPs; the public is regarded as an inconvience at at best, a future criminal, or a pain in the arse that needs controlling.
They are also placemen who have risen through the ranks because throughout the interview panels they have shown they can parrot the political dogma of the day whether or not they really believe it ( which most of them dont) however this does not weigh heavily on their concience as the important thing is their promotion prospects and to hell with public service.
The worrying thing is , all the PC Drones which were cultivated and promoted throughout the Ian Blair Regime are now being sent out to hold office in the rest of the UK’s forces.
The police have lost all sense of right and wrong. In the last day or so they have been shouting about how wonderful it is to keep the DNA of innocent people (naturally the police don’t allow their own DNA to be on the register, hypocrites!). Totally politicised, lacking all credibility, and having lost all respect.
Incidentally, I went for an interview for a clerical job with the police. It was an absolute disgrace. Not one question related to my experience or abilities, nor to the requirements of the job. The whole thing was about whether I was a suitably touchy-feeling pc tosser – turned out I wasn’t!
So why does a junior Tourism minister no one has ever heard of need security outside her second home 24/7, when the Home Secretary who everyone has heard of lives in her sister’s spare room in Peckham ?
Could it be that both are making shedloads of dosh out of their arrangements? Surely NOT, wash my mouth out.

As i keep telling you all…
All my clients are innocent and pure as the driven snow…
Did anyone see the “useful idiot” doing this mornings papers on SKY just there? Apparently we shouldnt be making a fuss about MP’s expenses because corruption is much worse in other countries and Gordon Brown is far to busy running the country to be bothered about filling in expense claims . (Wondered why if he is so busy he even bothered to see his brother alright then ?). Quite clearly this chap will be part of an organisation receiving grants from the Government and is probably hoping for recognition in the honours list for the work he does in the inner cities. Makes sense “innit”
He appeared to have been pre-programmed by the Government’s rapid rebuttal unit. It was awful. And to be honest who the fuck cares about other countries and what they get up to. I live here.
Expect him to be up for a safe seat at the next election.
This contributor also thought it was important to realise that inapproriate expense claims are also evident in the Private sector. What does this idiot not understand, this is THE PUBLIC PURSE we are talking about. Private business is not funded by the tax payer and any scams there are between the claimant and his boss. Fuck me with such fuckwittery about no wonder this government have had an easy ride of it !
There are no safe seats anymore. For Liebour ze war ees over !

No mention of Balls and Cooper yet, is this because:
a) they are running a black op through the Telegraph to damage rivals
b) the DT is saving them for a Balls special on Sunday that will destroy them
c) there is nothing questionable in their expenses
d) they have better lawyers than everyone else
e) any other reason (please give details)
Answers on a postcard…..
Sunday’s big scoop, if they are double dipping they need to be taken down, especially if they are both claiming the full second home allowance.
Bit of a wild guess here but just maybe…… they only took their wages ?
I’ll get me coat.
The wages of sin?
The internal battle between the ST and the DT over who gets the choicest titbits has apparently been fairly spectacular and appears to have been refereed by the twins personally(as was the decision to pony up for the information)
It looks pretty well certain that Mr and Mrs Balls are going to be served up as the main course on Sunday and the obvious implication of the delay is that the ST’s hounds will have been truffling through both sets of claims looking for double dipping.The Fees Office has almost certainly NOT cross checked both claims in tandem and the gruesome twosome will not have been able to repay any moneys without admitting a criminal offence
I wonder what sort of print run the ST will have this weekend??
Rumours on ConHome are Cooper and Balls will feature BIG Time tomorrow.
Please let it be true please
It’s b), but it won’t be this Sunday. They are saving Balls and his odious wife for a time when things have died down a bit. Perhaps just after they have blown the gaff on a few Tories just to take the sting out of it.

Fees Office: ‘collusion’. Is that too weak a word for their role in this?
No…. more correct term is Conspiracy, Aiding, abetting, counselling and procuring and Malfeasance in Public Office.
there is also the criminal offence of “Defalcation” which applies to public servants who fraudulently obtain pecuniary advantage through fraud.
Don’t you mean defecation……… ie as in Defecation is the final act of digestion by which organisms eliminate solid, semisolid or liquid waste material……. MP’s from a corrupt system of government?

Bathplug on it’s way to Rt Hoon Jacqui Sniff MP.
I ordered a butt plug.
Put it on your exes anyway…
i recon she likes it there…very nice indeed
To rebuild confidence in both houses of parliament I suggest we take up the proposal below.
It should be an honour to be an MP’s and serve the electorate and the country so MP’s pay will stay the same. As MP’s do not need qualifications to become an MP the wages should be designed to keep them in touch with the average worker. While they are MP’s Lords and Baronets they will not be permitted to have any other job or consultancy nor shall they be a member of a local parliament or council.
Lords and Baronets will be given a flat rate for voting, no more sign in and leave.
We need to build possibly in an old Army or TA location in central London, MP, Lords and Baronets Apartments. The apartments will be for MP’s Lords and Baronets who live outside a 75 miles radius form parliament (If an MP has a constituency within the 75 miles radius but decides to lives outside their constituency they will be given the option to stay at the apartments at a flat fee of £75 per night). MP’s Lords and Baronets can take up the offer of to live there or not. If not they will not get any living allowance in consideration!
The apartments will be 2 bed roomed with a cooker, fridge, washing machine, tumble dryer and carpeted. They will be cleaned for the MP’s, Lords and Baronets by an appointed firm and have free telephone, sky/cable TV, internet, free utilities and council tax, maintenance and guarded by the Met or a security firm.
The MP, Lords and Baronets will provide all the furnishings and food, when the MP’s leave parliament they will move out and the new MP will move in after the apartment has been a cleaned and painted. If unelected an MP’s will get a one off payment of £1500 to move out of the apartment, if they retire they will cover the cost themselves.
The apartment will be for the sole use of the MP, Lord and Baronet. They cannot be used for any other purpose, i.e. children, family or friends unless accompanied by the MP, Lord and Baronet!
The MP, Lords and Baronets will get reimbursed for flights in economy class, fist class rail travel, bus journeys, and after 8pm a taxi from Parliament to the apartment only and only after producing a receipt. They will get 10 free flights for their partners a year non transferable, no other subsidy for partners.
MP’s Lords and Baronets will get 35 days holiday a year. MP’s pension entitlement will be as that of the Armed Forces. Only after 22 years service will an MP get their full pension, not the 12 years currently.
They must advertise all jobs in their offices; no family member will be automatically given a job. Constituency offices will be owned and operated by the party, constituency offices will not be owned by the MP’s family, extended family or friends. All MP’s will get a flat rate office allowance set at the average for financial year 06/07 and a flat rate motor mileage allowance set at the average for financial year 06/07.
If there are other constructive points add them here we can then send them to the commission into MP’s pay and conditions for their consideration, and if they come up with something that is outlandish we can inform them that this is against public opinion!
Well thought out!
Good luck with getting more people to read it….
Our MPs are always holding up the Swedish ‘model’ of just about everything as a shining example of democracy and the Swedes have a similar housing system. If communal living is good enough for them I wonder why our own MPs haven’t jumped on this particular bandwagon as well …
I thought they had – and then charged the affair as expenses!!
OHM…
They will start putting their communal orgies on expenses then…
I cant’ defend that…going too far do’”nt you think..two by two M/M, F/F/, M/F that’s fine on expenses but not FFFF/MMMMMMMMMMMMMM
well thought out; a bit unlikely though. Interestingly, you mentioned the armed services, during a recent court martial held in Portsmouth several junior service persons were convicted of making fraudulent claims and punished accordingly; I wonder if any tried the clerical error, within the rules but not the spirit, or it’s now been repaid (bugger I’ve been caught) lines of defence?
Does the 22 year thing count for the Ghurkas as well?
That all sounds like good common-sense. What’s in it for me?
“fist class rail travel”
….sounds good.
Seriously – that is a great idea, but they won’t buy it, as they would whine about being a target for terrorists.
Milady the Baroness Udderly Disgusting would not approve of the proposed accomodation, too close to the office.

I know many of you are saddened at that Charles Hardwidge was deserted us, hoplefully he will be back, but he has just posted this gem on Labourlist, concerning the possibility of a Cruddas -Purnell partnership [nightmare ticket?] to oust Snottie. Brace yourselves…
…..”Recalling the hype around Duke Nuken Forever, development hell, and subsequent collapse of 3D Realms, this potential leadership team may have some traction. I like the general idea of “invest in loss”, and Cruddas has the style and Purnell has the intellectual capital to deliver a blockbuster. Whether this GB (Gordon Brown) can rekindle his spark or be quitely put out to pasture like the other GB (George Broussard) remains to be seen. Whatever happens, now is usually a good time.
I like the basic idea of “invest in loss” but the implementation and media storm is getting in the way. I’d already decided in my own mind that if Gordon Brown didn’t put in a convincing performance at the last PMQ he should leave. While I had hopes he’d rise to the occasion I’m more interested in the goals happening than propping up an individuals ego. Like Broussard, Brown may have aimed to high and just got tangled up in the realities. This happens but the world moves on. Sometimes, you have to cut your losses and get with that.
Hail to the King, baby! ……”
Brings a tear to the eye, doesn’t it?
We miss you Charles.
He must have been pissed as a newt when he wrote that rubbish.
I no longer read Fuckwidge’s emissions. There’s a point at which my sense of humour deserts me completely, mainly due to the venomous bile which he sprays around like a spitting cobra.
Combined that with his eerie sense of self-importance (google him, and you’ll see what I mean) and utter inability to follow the flow of a conversation and you have a ‘care in the community’ candidate, with all the charm of a box jelly fish.
Still, I’m glad he amuses others, as laughter is the only defence against such high levels of utter fuckwittery.
‘care in the community’
Would that be of the Baby Peter kind?
Noted. He always put me in mind of Eraserhead…
With his vocabulary, he is so obviously a product of ZaNu Lie Baah education. He doesn’t know the difference between to and too, or quite and quiet. Obviously bog standard comprehensively educated, and it shows.
But there’s good news for John “two bogs” Prescott….
He’s had a heavy duty toilet seat named after him…honest….
Why doesn’t he just park his fat flabby swine-butt on an industrial skip. Should be big enough to take a massive arse-blast of half-digested pies and chips.
Oi!!!
Ooh, I wish I hadn’t read that while eating my breakfast.
They get broken by his headbutts when he’s chucking up his fois gras, caviar and champagne breakfast.
As Jonathan Cook’s already indicated, Guido, the offence of obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception has been repealed – the person who complained isn’t aware of that, or else the police don’t know what they’re doing. Anyway, it wouldn’t have covered McNulty’s case (it was about getting a job by lying on your CV, basically).
If there is an offence to investigate here, it must be fraud under the Fraud Act 2006, sections 2, 3 or 4. Or conceivably false accounting under section 17 of the Theft Act 1968.
I doubt anything can be charged here, though. While saying “it was within the rules” is no defence politically, if a claim really was within the rules, then it’s difficult to call it dishonest in legal terms, and all these offences require dishonesty.
Anyway, the really interesting fact isn’t the police’s possible investigation of Tony McNulty; it’s the outrageous calling in of the police to investigate the leak. The Speaker’s doing a Jacqui Smith, using the police to try to stop embarrassment to politicians.
Wouldn’t it still be the correct charge, given that the alleged offence took place before the Fraud Act came into force?
As must be repeated desp[ite the official line, MANY of these claims are clearly NOT WITHIN THE RULES.

What’s this after a member of the public had complained? So if no member of the public had complained, plod would have just sat on his arse?
Surely plod could have acted on the fact that a crime appears to have been committed and investigated it, when did it become necessary for the public to prompt them.
They were certainly quick off the mark when Boris trousered Tariq Aziz’s cigar box. Even when Aziz said it was ok..
Time to form an Anti Scum party.
Labour – Bankrupting Britain since 1929!
Sunday’s revelations – I’m predicting:
1. Ed Balls and Yvette
2. Peter Hain
3. Tony McNulty
4. Harriet Harman
Is Cameron immune because the DT dare not raise quesions in case the expense concerned could be linked to his disabled son?
Cameron seemed very relaxed when he was interviewed, as if he had nothing to worry about and seemed to have everything in hand, he is a PR man so will know when is the best time to anounance/release/leak the actions he is/has taken with the Conservative party.
If home improvement payments were linked to his son, it would be difficult for New Lab and their friends in the press to spin this as an abuse.
You missed out tricky mickey, or do you think he will get the monday edition to himself.
Please please include those troughing pigs, Peter and Iris Robinson.
Harman lives in London, so no second home, right ?
Maybe she did an Uddin ?
Police may use water cannon to control violent demonstrations.
Headline from Times Online. Latest News.
Are they getting frightened?
So un-British. We prefer them with little wooden batons and whistles and tit-hats that we can knock off.
It would suit these Hoons to have a little bit of chaos, so they can overreact, clamp down with the goon squad and lord it up ‘see? Terrorists! Only we can keep you safe! ID cards would have stopped this… somehow… woooo-ooooo Terrorism!’
Delicious isn’t it?
What these arseholes seem to forget is that they may have used Parliament to set themselves above some of the laws of the land, but not all of them.
Plod, get off your fat backsides and do some proper police work for a change.
McNulty in a few months time: McNulty where he belongs
Plod isn’t interested. After all, Nulabour spent a decade installing their friendly patsies into all the top police positions, for just such an event. “We shall be proceeding in a westerly direction to parliament to arrest fiddling MPs. So long as they is Tory.”
The HOC is roughly due east of New Scotland Yard, so you’re right…. they’ll be heading 180 degrees in the wrong direction as usual
No matter, sir. We’ll have our lights and woo-woos going so it doesn’t make any difference which way we go. Efficiency, you see. Over.
June 2010. Gordon Brown and Cabinet seen running down Whitehall with free poppy wreaths.
That is just so good!
Who cares about the Tories details being published? I mean they are not in power at the moment, so whats the point. It is the Labour expense-claiming revelations that are having the biggest impact. Those in power must be the one’s that should be held to account in case of power abuse. And boy, have they abused their power. And our tax money, to no ones advantage but their own.
Get the wall and the rifle ready for these greedy red ragged piggy’s.
A member of public? – that is just fantastic.
I wrote to Pola Uddin to resign and she didnt. The more the public get involved, directly with their MPs, Police, councils – the more they’ll start to realise who is in charge!
If my MP appears in any of the soon-to-be-published reports in the Telegraph, I will be one member of the public getting involved. Dear me, yes.
Well, what was the promise when they were elected?
Trough no Crime and Tough on the Cardrivers!
They do not like it up ‘em! They don’t like it up ‘em!
Please let me volunteer to be the one to put it up ‘em, sir.
I hope somebody has complained to the police about that other possible fraudster and cheat, Baroness Uddin. If not I will do so myself. Is there anyway of finding out whether this is being dealt with by the police?
Complain anyway the more the merrrier
MPs seem to be closing ranks. Very very few of them are sticking up for the public they serve. Only Kate Hoey and Nick Clegg are able to hold their heads with pride so far.
Kit Kats and bath plugs. What a pathetic bunch of grovelling cowardly Shoplifters our MPs and Ministers are. Have they no balls. Bernard Madoff Admits 50 Billion Dollar Fraud, now you’re talking.
Hey Hazel baby, forget the Kit Kats, I’ve got all the fingers you’ll need.
Have they got any Balls?
Nope – he’s done McCaverty Cat!

3000 steelworkers about to lose their job in Redcar-by-the-sea and Lord Mandelson, (genuflect-rise) spends £3000 repairing his roof to stop leaks.
£1 for every steelworker.
Actually Mandelson only spent £385 on his roof, according to the Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5293035/MPs-expenses-Questions-over-timing-of-Peter-Mandelsons-house-claim.html
which rather throws into doubt his melodramatic claims on TV yesterday about water pouring down his living room walls – or was it sitting room? It definitely wasn’t his lounge though.
It was his pink boudoir.
Sharp!! Well done…….just need someone on this site that reads it to pick up on that and put it to him.
No doubt Mandy reads it too so will get his defence up and running though.
He had two loose tiles, mate.
Precisely – loose tiles – he knowingly gave the impression that it was a huge job – £3,000 worth though.
So the decorating was done first, and the roof repaired 2 months later. Doesn’t quite square with the melodramatic stuff he was giving out about rain pouring in on him…
You know, Redcar beach is where they filmed the Dunkirk evacuation scenes in the film Atonement.
If you’d actually been there you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they had to clean the place up before they filmed the battle scenes, not after.
Well it’s going to be a helluva lot more depressing now. And even more so if the Boro go down.
If the MPs repaid all their ill-gotten gains, would the Bank of England be able to stop printing money?
Love the Save the Mimimum Wage Banner…Guido.
Could turn it into a demo against Parliamentry Corruption.
You could demonstrate until you’re blue in the face, to no avail.
Oh! Wait though…
You can imagine these labour MPs when they were at uni having a debate at one of their student communist societies. All those young idealistic Wolfie Smiths:
“Yeah, like, those fat tories with two houses, all fiddling their expenses! Down with capitalist thieves!”
Spin on 20 years…..young commies have morphed into trough-snaffling porkers with, er, two homes and massive expenses….not to mention mock tudor beams.
I sincerely hope you’re not including ex NUS president Phil Woolas in that remark – he’ll sue you, you know
I’m entitled to claim for all my pads, panty or otherwise.
We don’t have to imagine – we can remember. You’re dead right – I remember Dave “Spart” Aaronovitch, doughty defender of NuLab, standing on a Broad Left ticket (anything from CPGB to Labour) before he got thrown out of Oxford.
Woolarse comes from the cesspit that was NUS in the 70s/80s, as well.
But at least they are not fat Tories!
They are all in on it. Even the few that had enough conscience not to thieve like bastards are party to a massive criminal conspiracy to defraud taxpayers.
China has the right idea – she executes corrupt politicians. We should do the same. It would be great to see MPs whipped to death in public.
A few heads on spikes at traitor’s gate would be better.
Didn’t we privitize that?
Leader of The Monster Raving Lunatic Party:
“Go back to your constituencies and prepare for government”.
Has he lost the plot? That is NOT a daft idea.
Bloody hell. Are we still going?
Things OK up here – just having a chuckle at the shit you’ve got in parliament these days.
Vote Loony – you know it makes sense.
GUIDO,
PLEASE PLEASEPLEASE START A CAMPAIGN TO MARCH ON PARLIAMENT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.EVEN IF IT WAS A CROSS PARTY MARCH.OUR DEMOCRACY NEEDS TO BE DEFENDED AGAINST THESE FRAUDSTERS. PLEASE GUIDO. I BEG YOU. SEMO
You could call it Ar..Guido’s Status for Justice.
We could all climb onto Harriets roof.
Which roof?
we call start a dirty walls campaign. Write slogans in public places, such as:
MPs do it with my tax.
Stuff a Hoon for Christmas.
Ministers have deep pockets – our cash is in there.
New Labour, Do Hard Labour.
HM Government – crooks in cloisters.
The ‘march chant’ could be ‘we want our money back’
When do we want it?
NOW
Nov 5th might be good?
NO THE SATURDAY BEFORE THE ELECTIONS WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE 30TH MAY THAT IS

We are queer

My take on the moustache parade chant
Groundhog Day
Rather than go for the M.P’s the police investigation should be directed at those who physically approved the payment and the recipient M.P. then joined in on the charge sheet. the persons concerned should also be immediately suspended as clearly a system exists and is as laid down in the green book.
This is rather like the old style Lloyds where potential names for a modest investment of around £24 k were promised unlimited returns for life whilst also accepting unlimited personal liability – sadly for those names the whole thing turned sour. But back to our tale.
Once a conviction is obtained, the rest can then be charged and it all becomes a legal process sausage machine, churning out convictions at a rate of knots, resulting in wholesale resignations or retirements overseas or to warmer climes where an extradition treaty has yet to be established.
I wiould advise buying extra copies of the Telegraph as before long they will be collectors items as through this series of scandals the whole face of parliament as we know it is about to change, it is a brave MP seeking re-election who goes out on the stump knocking on doors and kissing babies who does not have a cast iron rebuttal.
In fact next May would be the ideal time for individual members of the public to ask for a police investigation of his/ her MP if they appear in the Telegraph or in any way involved in this shameful exercise whcih will be revealed when the supporting documents are published. Any spin doctor or junior lawyer will tell you that existing police investigations have to be formally declared on election literature!!!!.
I would also offer a lifeboat to our MPs if they unreservedly withdrew all their cliams since being elected and repay all monies in full without deduction. Then their honour remains intact.
Finally for no good reason too many Anonymous says: on GUIDO and other blog sites, show people you are angry use your real name publish and be damned and i’ll be damned if these pedigree snouts in the trough are allowed to get away with this. The money they spend on tampax. loo seats, faux tudor beams, chimney sweeps, flat screen tellys, new kitchens, kiddles furniture. tesco food bills ans the rest could just as easily ensure many old and recently unemployed people actually survive next winter by being able to switch on more tjhan one bar of their electric fire….It not only stinks buit all parliamentarians have known it was wrong and until exposed have done nothing about it….indeed tried to prevent it entering the public domian.

Investigation, sir? This is a party political matter. Over.
Oi! This is my real name!! Cheeky.
They’re going after BBC expenses next. Free TV licences for all BBC workers on less than £1 million per year.
Jeremy Pacman with hundreds of bath plugs and no bath.
I’ve never had a tv licence, don’t see why I need one. Don’t watch Aljabeeba
Think kindly now on poor Paul Boateng. He will probably wish that he and his nasty family hadn’t screwed up in Cape Town so spectacularly. Kicked out of the Governor’s mansion his sinecure lifestyle has been abruptly terminated due to his egregious behaviour and that of his wantonly vile wife.
When he gets back to blighty he will find the gravy train half dismantled in the sidings. So, on to the EU then!
It all started when Blair made them take off their anoraks and start wearing suits and ties. Since then they have got above their station.
“Report benefit cheats… so we can pocket the cash for oursleves.”

I’m reporting my MP – Margaret Moran.
Problem – I reported a drug deal going on outside my flat. 4 large bags white powder being exchanged at 21:30 at night. Result – Bedfordshire police didn’t bother! Must’ve been caster sugar!
Police have been neutered!
Now that the proverbial s**t has hit the fan on MPs expenses…. what about the same for local councils?
I’m sure that the epithet ‘As above; so below’ is grounds for having the same level of transparency working in local government. When it takes four men to paint a bus-stop in Nottingham – something’s amiss!
I wonder if Heather can start a campaign on THIS one!!!

And dont” forget the Lords.I already have Baronness Udders as a client…But i need dozens more please …
To correct you it actually takes two workpersons to conduct these works in Nottingham; of course we do need three administrators to initiate, check and approve the expenditure; a Health & Safety officer to ensure the risk is adequately managed; one Diversity Officer and an Assistant to ensure compliance with diversity issues; plus an onsite visit by a community nutritionist to discuss healthy food options with our workpersons as part of our “Five A Day” campaign.
This was on a “good day” of course. On a bad day we get through another Chief Executive too here.
All was going well until on the day, in error, our Community Football Task Force team called by and the two workpersons spent the rest of the allocated time playing football on the street.
That is the only reason we had to call upon the two additional workpersons to attend and complete the job. By 4pm this was a priority because we had closed the city centre to traffic the night before to facilitate the said works to the bus stop and the resulting queue of traffic was affecting by this time rush hour on the M25.
I hope you used organic freetrade paint – otherwise you will have to do it all all again (having assembled a team of diversity officers, elfin safety operatives and hazardous substances removal executives to remove the old paint first).

So it is corrupt then, arrest them all.
My reputation has been damaged. I am considering consulting my lawyers but am unable to comment on whether the expense would be within the rules. I will not let this detract me from clamping down on immigration by letting in as much foreign filth as possible. Naturally, the Ghurkhas do not qualify.
I am determined to maintain the standards and reputation of the Government and Parliament, as will all my colleagues. It is the right thing to do.
Woolas is a HuhneE
Can’t find out the ages of Woolas’s children. Presume they were at nappy age when the claim was made?

According to the Telegraph, he bought panty liners, tampons and a lady’s blouse in a Tesco’s in Horsham, that’s in West Sussex. What was an Oldham MP doing down there. Bit out of his way for a shopping trip. And to think Winston Churchill used to be MP for Oldham.
I have never seen so many pigs flying all at one time…Quite surreal really…Makes me feel quite dizzy…How about another round Guido ?!
Horsham; visiting the in-laws? Where he got married.

” I don’t belieeeeeeve it “
I have just swilled an excellent bottle of port (paid for by you). Earlier I had a very fine luncheon with an excellent Bordeaux (paid for by you). The taxi ride (paid for by you) to my beautiful London pied a terre (the second one paid for and furnished by you) was high lighted by my stopping to buy groceries, plasma screen tvs etc (paid for by you). my home is clean and secure becuase I have a contract cleaner and private security (paid for by you).
I have a safe seat and I WILL be returned to parliamnet come the next election no matter what, because my constituents have always voted for my party and always will. What a wonderful system we have in this fine country, a bastion of decency an moral rectitude. A good day to you all ladies and gentlemen.
‘Ay I thought my seat were safe too lad but fook me when I were droppin’ a large one the other day the bastard gave way from under me. Ah bollocks now everyone knows.
Odd thing. A former colleague who WAS a civil servant got sacked for stealing her own pay. Her pay branch overpaid her, she queried it and was told it was in order. 6 months later she was told she was being investigated for obtaining that money by deception then sacked for Gross Misconduct. No police called, mind you. You’d think they would given the nature of the offence.
This civil servant was also known among managers as a ‘trouble maker’ (what used to be called ‘asking questions about policy’) Great way to get rid of someone. Put money into their account then accuse them of stealing it.
?
Yes, surreal, isn’t it?
But true.

Who are these ungrateful rabble; I spent a lifetime in student politics and local parish councils listening to plonkers moaning about their dustbins not being collected and petty crime such as random muggings to get where I am today. Don’t they realise such personal sacrifice deserves some reward.
I have acted totally within the rules I helped write.Just stay at home as usual next election and let my brainwashed voting fodder; err I mean loyal supporters vote me back in.
Unfortunately for you, I am going to change my name by deed poll to Phil Boot, and stand as a Laber party candidate. As a gcse english marker, I am confident that the tosspot hoodies, that are your core support can’t read or spell well enough to tell the difference.
Guido, are you hearing rumours that Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper are next to be exposed? Lots of noise in that area, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer couple.

A whole Pandora’s Box has been opened here. It is beginning to spread like swine flu and I’ll bet, before long, we shall be seeing similar popular outpourings of resentment in the EU and beyond. Who knows where it will all end!
My God, it all started over a nudged spilling of some Guinness. What the hell would have happened if McBride had knocked the whole pint onto the floor? Armaggedon, I shouldn’t wonder.
I know of another loose collection of suited individuals who pass themselves off as Men of Honour.
Theyre no different to this shower of bastards who have the gall to call themselves “honourable”, what an insult to the term.
If any of them have even a modicum of morality left in them id expect them to do something radical, like apologise, or resign, or maybe Sepuku.
I dont hold out any great hopes of seeing an “honourable” member actually doing anything of honourable worth and i remain unimpressed by their pathetic bleating chorus of ” we aint done nuffin wrong Meester”.
The real truth of the matter is they know exactly what theyve done wrong, they know we know theyve done wrong but they simply dont care.
Its two fingers up to the voting public and bend over we need to ream you some more.
I propose a ducking stool in parliament square for the worst of them and a set of stocks for the lower orders of the thieving scum.
