+++ Greg Barker : I Will Pay Property Capital Gains Taxes +++
The Shadow Climate Change Minister Greg Barker is doing a Blears – he says he doesn’t have to but he will anyway. He is close (socially*) to the Cameron inner circle. It seems that the closer you are to Cameron the whiter-than-white you have to be.
Julie Kirkbride seems to have got off lighter than her husband, yet she is equally guilty of over-claiming…
*Someone once told Guido (unkindly) that Barker’s closeness to the Cameroon inner circle was largely a result of his willingness to pick up the restaurant tab.
first?
As others have pointed out, the revenue are likely to return the cash, or offset it against future income.
It’s only a gesture!
The MP could always make it clear it is a donation and should not be included in future accounts.
It is not unheard of for people to leave a sum to the Inland Revenue (as was) in their wills.
torydalekstrolls, are you on sleep mode?
WAKEY-WAKEY TORY TROLLS!
firstly I would like to offer my most sincere apology to any readers who I have offended by using the word spastic.
I did it for purely political reasons but that, ofcourse, is no excuse.
I will refrain from using that word in future.
note to MPs: you have lost control.
you have done the crime and so you must do the time. jail time.
you c’unts better start resigning very sharpish indeed if you wish to avoid the rope.
and we will not forget that not only have you committed a huge fraud against the public purse, you have also committed an even greater crime.
you sold out our democracy.
Iraq, Afghanistan, bombings in this country, ID cards, EU supremacy over The House of Commons,;people getting shot in the head by the police; councils spies; stop and search; the police stirring up trouble at peaceful rallies, and all the while you MPs were busy stuffing your pockets with stolen loot.
“UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHERFUCKERS!”
and gordon brown better make sure he has his american trainers to hand because once we have a few heads on spikes resignation-wise, he will then be obliged to put those fucking trainers on and hot-foot it to the palace.
Her Maj can take over from there.
this has been an untrustworthy parliament manned by zombies, vampires and fraudsters. there are too few good parliamentarians remaining for this parliament to justify its existence.
’tis time for a general election.
excellent!
Teles says tomorrow Friday will be worse – some Balls to be castrated at last? Bliar’s shredded expenses reappear magically, Speaker’s ditto, oh err.
btw – I’m still a virgin and i have spots and i know nothing about politics because the only thing i know how to read is the daily mirror. I troll on this site because i’m really lonely so go easy on me.
Just thought you all my readers here should know.
132, er, I don’t use uppercase at the beginning of sentences, unless it is unavoidable ofcourse.
please study more closely before you attempt to copy the masters.
thankyou.
You are the master…baiter, and I claim my £5.00.
An impartial HMR&C would surely take all these excuses of “mistakes” and poor “accountancy” as a cue for a drains-up on all past returns from these cheating bastards.
anonymous,
you are a dullard because you cannot even think up a name.
you must sshhhuurrlleeeey be a leading contender for
“the wankers’ wanker of the week award”
well done.
You’ll be eating my turds within a week shit face.
I’ll have you know that my uncle is high up in the blogosphere and can blow up your computer with the touch of a button, so I’d be careful what you say if I were you….you twerp.
Anonymous: “first?”
Twat.
While I’m here, Mackay’s sow, Julie Kirkbride, ought to get the boot too – she’s just as guilty. All these troughers should be cleared out – there are plenty of honest talented people who can replace them.
Mackay’s line about “only following advice from the former head of the Fees Office” is bull too – he knows his (and his wife’s) behaviour doesn’t stand scrutiny, but that’s not the Fees Office’s fault – it’s his. They should both go.
I am pretty sure that torturers and executioners working in death camps thought that they were working within the rules too.
THEFT IS THEFT, FRAUD IS FRAUD, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE!!!!
Quod ad jus naturale attinet, omnes homines aequales sunt! All men are created equal before the natural law.
Exactly, if the Fees Office had said, go and stick your head in a gas oven. Would he have done that? Man’s a twat!
Actually the head of the Fees Office should go as well – he clearlt can’t do his job competently
The “only following rules” defence was rejected at Nuremberg.
The public probably would tell him to stick his head in a gas oven and would cheerfully help him do it
anon 61: spot on. It’s a non-defence both morally and, in some cases, legally. Since these little piggies are meant to be the lawmakers, my view is that the first charge is actually worse than’t second.
So fcuk them. If they won’t go quietly – with an immediate general election, then maybe it’s time we bloody well showed them who’s really the boss – US.
http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/05/wind-of-change.html
Expulsions and chequebook apologies are not enough. Hangings might be a little strong – but only a little. I’ll settle for the election. That’s the deal.
Yeah, but Julie’s cute so we’ll let her off with a good spanking.
Agreed. But only if I can keep her knickers
By the way, is Damian McBride still alive?
http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/05/mcbride-is-back-shock.html
you’re probably wearing her knickers you c’unt.
Grauniad hoon, Helena Kennedy, has just patiently explained to me (via radio 4) how this mess is all Thatcher’s fault.
Phew! That’s all right then…
Go and get yer nappy changed, thicko. There’s a bad smell in here.
It seems that the closer you are to Cameron the whiter-than-white you have to be.
Haha! ‘White than white’? Like George Osborne you mean? Geddit?
(I’m here till Thursday)
I only know of one politician who ever claimed that he and his party were “purer than pure” and we all know who that was and how it has ended.
Mr Ned — since you are classically inclined:
Nihil ad me attinet.
Terence, it should be everyone’s concerned about the importance of these troughing MP’s. when our lawmakers no longer follow the law. The Legislature is the primary court of the land. If that becomes lawless, then the entire country is lawless.

MY BARQUE IS WURSE THAN MY SOUNDBITE

They are all at it – Nu Labour (Nazis), Tories (Nazis), Liberals (Nazis), IRA (those retarded Nazis who don’t come to Westminster), and Nazis (Nu Labour).
Kill kill kill kill kill kill MPs — burn the dirty Nazis.
They’re not nazi’s. They are facists.
Kirkbride is a former DT journo and got tipped off that it was about to break… husband got resignation out first before DT broke story.
Which suggests we may not hear what Ms Kilbride, as fragrant as she is, is going to do about her side of the scandal.
Much banknotes stuffed in suitcases in an empty bedroom, mayhaps….
She’s also the former squeeze of Stephen Milligan, when he wasn’t overdoing the auto-erotic asphyxiation that was. He was another twat. Where do these morons and their groupies like Kirkbride come from?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Milligan
Comes to something when he’d prefer a satsuma to Her!
Maybe this is why the DT held back 5 of the 9 stories they were supposed to publish today
Like her style, can’t see what she’s done that’s so bad.
Come on, Guido, it’s not the woman’s fault. Not that I am defending it, but (like it or not) under the 2nd homes allowance scheme, married couples are entitled to do what this couple have done.
In all seriousness, Mackay didn’t need to resign. I’d humbly suggest that he is the pawn that Cameron is sacrificing in exchange for the rook (Balls & Cooper).
With an enquiry that might hide anything when it reports in the future
However, he had the balls to go to his constituency
The Balls/Cooper story was all over the Mail On Sunday last year. If I remember correctly their excuse was the Fees Office approved everything. At the time that kept the media happy. It will be interesting to so what happens this time.
Surely to claim for a second homes allowance they must have registered a main home ? Otherwise how would the fees office have been able to authorise the £24K allowance ? Seems a bit odd to me. Common sense says they registered the opposite houses as first and second homes. To milk the system for 8 or 9 years. Mackay wasn’t sure how many years it had occured for. WTF. Another early onset dementia case. Spreading like swine flu so it is.
The Hunts are going to fucking fry this time.

Don’t worry just like that other fraudster Ernest Saunders, member of the guinness 4, he’ll make a full and miraculous recovery.

Bollox,
MPs need to wake up and LIVE in their constituencies and STAY in London. Their families need to LIVE in their constituencies so the MP can be anchored to the proles he or she represents. The place in London should be suitable only for the family to stay or visit, NOT to LIVE. So a MP married to an MP means two MPs NOT representing their constituents experiences.
And our MPs need to be dependent on our transport system, on our health system, on our police service, on our education system, on our council services and not some rich person’s alternative. How else can they understand and represent our needs and our complaints.
And while we are at it……… just like the Police Service…… MP’s should have restrictions on their family lives.
We have learnt on this BLOG that MP married to other MP’s,, Mp’s married or have family in the Press, MP’s that have family / partners in the Law / Quango’s etc etc.
There should be NO connections with areas of sensitive professions. How can it be right for cosy chats over the dinner table and deals done outside the proper arena.
It stinks of corruption.
What is happening now is window dressing to placate the majority of the public so another generation of corrupt public servants can be elected.
Give the man a ‘K’ – or two!
YES: they need to be in their constituencies to be in touch.
YES: they need to endure the same privations, inconveniences, taxation-levels, intrusions into privacy, that we do. Does anyone seriously imagine that when a politician makes use of the NHS s/he is dumped in a mixed-sex ward/on a trolley in a corridor, is ignored/shouted at by ‘Nurses’, ‘seen’ by a Doctor with doubtful training and even more doubtful command of English…? If they had NO OPTION but to send their children to their local school, what an engine for improvement in standards that would be!
Agreed, and they certainly would not be left to rot to death in their own faeces in a cubicle for hours.
If MPs were on fire, I would not waste my piss to put them out!

Interesting point you make. Trouble is that half the MPs are lawyers, a profession not noted for its devotion to morality and whose stock in trade is spotting and squeezing through loopholes.
All they’ve done is set up a system replete with loopholes that they have, with unimpeachable logic, happily set about exploiting. Any lawyer would do the same, given the chance. Some of them, anyway. How many? Gorbals Mick should ensure we know ASAP but he’s still busy trying to cover it up.
Unfortunately for them, this attitude is about 180 degrees from the view of most members of the public. Seems that almost everyone but MPs believes that the spirit of the rules is actually more important than the letter. Mick had the chance to stamp on this poisonous culture when he came to the Speaker’s chair, but he looked the other way, the traitor.
I’ve been very heartened by the good common sense I’ve heard in media vox pops: if ever I’m at the mercy of a jury I’ll confidently expect something approaching justice. They’ve also reminded me how much closer many people are to penury than I hope ever to be: the number of people who’ve said (of Morley’s refund) something like ‘it would be nice to be able to write a cheque for £16,000′ was striking.
On Question Time Ben Brogan was pressed on why the DT has not analysed all MPs’ expenses, and he explained that it is an enormous task that they’ve had 25 people working on for some time. Why is the accounting so chaotic? Why on earth was it left – and is still being left – to a newspaper to do this public service?
Because the Commons authorities have spent their time and trouble in concealment. And who is the chief officer of the Commons?
None other than that good union man, Gorbals Mick, who will no doubt be translated to the upper house as Lord Mick of Gorbals in due course.
That is how we punish miscreants in NuLab’s Britain. No wonder the leading criminals of the world bribe their way across Europe to get here.
What’s he bought and sold so far? Could be an empty boast. We need the numbers.
Incidentally, this ACA thing is now going to promote divorce among MPs (and illicit living together) just the same as Liebore’s standard benefit scams do. Claim two allowances if divorced, one otherwise.
Not if the new rules are changed to have to claim per residence, then you could have 50 MP’s squashed into a bedsit for a hundred quid a week all in… I’d vote for that!
I could probably find a few places in Notting Hill.
you mean like asylum seekers?
Exactly like asylum seekers, yes!
Guido
Can your friend say which restaurant tabs Baker “picked up” for Cameron and friends? Just for checking against the full receipts when they are published in July of course. (If we taxpayers are picking up the tab, why should Baker get socially close to his tablemates?)
DT is going to publish the married couples tomorrow apparently
And another Tory MP gets caught

Welsh bastard
Yawn that was last night. Do keep up!
Easy there boyo.
“Indeed, the switch of my designated second home from London to the constituency in October 2007 was actually suggested to me by an official in the fees office.”
says our Welsh friend.
This excuse is trotted out time and again.
Why have these Fees Office officials not been picked up for questioning, encouraging fraud is aiding and abetting surely.
A big boy told me to.
Nuthin’s MY fult ye understand !!
Any update on Incident Number (CAD2149)? Has Jill Pay signed the warrant yet?
Or have the Fees Office approved MoreLies claim for a new shredder?
That CAD number is only a MESSAGE logging system. The result of that message is a likely to be ‘referred’ ie passed to an appropriate person or department.
What is required is a Crime Allegation number eg the reference that one would need after reporting your house burgled. In the Met for these allegations it should start with the letter ‘C’ indicating a MAJOR crime.
The Commissioner has referrd the allegation to Commander SDC 6 (Fraud Squad) but has not yet made clear the extent of the scope of the enquiry.
If any of you out there have any influence at all in getting the Commissioner to make a statement or answer questions posed by an MP (untainted) I suggest you ask for the extent of the SDC 6 enquiry. If it is only to named individuals in my view it is inadequate.
This should be expidited and the police have a duty to ensure that justice is NOT delayed. It should gain a case number too soon.
Can we find out if the HMRC cashs all the cheques the bastards are sending in – none of that nonsense about returning the cheques uncashed through some shoddy little loophole ?
Worry-ye-not, we haven’t got the time to dig out their cheques out of the tens of thousands that arrive every day in order not to cash them. Not least ‘cos there’s not that many of us left to do what we should be doing, never mind anything else.
The money is all going into a special HoC fund, not HMRC.
What sort of “special HoC fund”? Not a special “hold it in this fund until the hoo-ha dies down, and then give it back to the drawer”? I hope.
HMRC automatically banks all cheques the morning they are received. They spend the afternoons working out what the hell the payment was for.
In my experience they spend the afternoon sending out threatening letters saying they HAVEN’T received or banked the cheques. Hoons
This is all very well about Elliot Marley, but what about his Wailers?
Takes the heat off me, – it’s Bangle-Wangle for me now!
Bloody Baroness Udderly Disgusting is being suspiciously reticient since she hired Carter Fuck. Anyone tried Google Street Viewing her place see if she’s still there.
Did she hire Carter Fuck on expenses ?
Can they do that these criminals ?
It’s all within the rules.
sorry OT i know, but i just see the labour party EU election campaign, my god what utter contemptable hoons they are, not one thing about what they will do just a blatant, smear attack on David Cameron. I realy hope people will see throught this crap
thats eu elec camp broadcast..
And precisely how mant times were the words “Gordon”, “Brown” and “New Labour” mentioned? Shows how proud they are of these assets.
It just shows how scared shitless they are. It will backfire on ‘em you see.
I thought it was rather clever – the basic message is to all scroungers out there, that nasty toff will take your benefits away and give it to his rich friends, especially the ones wot drives around in Rollers wiv “Tory” on the numberplate.
But are most of the Polling stations in schools, and these layabouts would’nt have a fucking clue where they are, I would suggest the Labour party would be better of putting Polling booths in the Job Centre or where ever they sign on these days.
Have polling where they buy their drugs and nicked phones from. labour would win a fucking landslide then. I would say put them in mothercare for their women-folk, but most of their girlfriends haven’t left school yet and are not old enough to vote and the few that are cannot spell X.
hmmm… you tory trolls just don’t get it.
dave’s a millionaire yet dave claimed mortgage interest payments from the public purse.
that would be fair enough if dave hadn’t gone on about building foundations and gideon hadn’t banged on about fixing roofs while the sun was shining as they filled their pockets with taxpayers hard earned cash.
these people have been taking the fucking piss, as well in some cases, breaking the law.
and dave’s been exposed for the money grubbing c’unt that he is.
he can’t help but chisel as much money out of the public purse as he is able despite not needing that money.
indeed, the very attempt to seek public funded support to buy very expensive houses would appear to any reasonable person to be a completely inappropriate claim.
dave thought it was alright though!
note to cameron: YOU’RE FUCKING DODGY, DAVE! DODGY-DAVE! good one.
you have exposed yourself to be a sneaky self server; giving it all the bollocks as you forced people on low incomes to fund your millionaire lifestyle, to pay for a luxury(how many houses dave, locations?) that you could well afford to pay for yourself.
tacky, innit?
not fit for office on that form, old boy.
not up to scratch.
neither is gideon the limousine osborne. cheap c’unt, no class.
note to osborne: if you didn’t blow all your dollars on gear you would be able to pay your own fucking way. go easy on that shit, for fucks sake dude!
it’s bad for you man.
it’s bad medicine.
Bollox. This jealousy over ‘millionaires’ is part of the British disease. I made a million. So what? It took me 25 years of hard work and I paid every penny I owed in tax. My American friends say: “Like your Jaguar. Enjoy it, man.” The Brits scratch it and carve insults in the paintwork.
Why does the fact that Dave has some money make him any less worthy than a bloke whose scrounged away his life on benefits? I know a guy in his late ’40s who’s done two weeks’ work since 1986. He has EVERY single bill paid for him, and will do for the rest of his lazy, pointless life. How about “Lord Wedgie Benn Don’t Call Me Stansgate” and his hugely wealthy late wife? Did the fact that she had money impinge on his lefty credentials? You can bet your last fucking pound it would have affected him if he’d sat on the Tory benches. Judge Dave by what he does, not the fact that he’s (relatively) wealthy.
you really are a shithead!
you miss the point. if one enters public life then one must be focused on serving the public interest.
do you think dave was acting in the public interest when he made a claim for his mortgage interest payments, which incidentally cost the taxpayer over a thousand pounds per month?
housing benefit for millionaires, very creepy.
and how very extravagant. is this an essential item for dave to do his job?most probably not. could he have offered vastly better value to the taxpayer?
of course.
fucking dodgy, innit.
I used to think dave was useless, but I was wrong, dave isn’t useless.
dave’s dodgy.
don’t leave your fags on the table when dodgy-dave the rave is scamming around for he is always on the scrounge. a real scrounging c’unt, and he’s loaded what a fucking wanker!
his close friend gideon is even dodgier. a real skanky fuck.
never tick that c’unt anything, even if he begs like a bitch.
never pays.
I agree with thick as thieves on this one. Not one of these theiving hoons should be exonerated. Cameron has done the bare minimum required in this position (caught with his hand in a very large cookie jar). Kudos to him for that much (pay it back or get sacked, don’t care if it was in the rules), it is much more than Brown did. (have a committee and see IF rules were broken)
But the point is, they are there and they take a solemn OATH to SERVE US. They have breached their oath of office and every single MP from the lowliest to the most senior should be recalled and removed from power IF they have abused the system. They have had their chance and fucked it good and proper.
Not all MPs have done this. There are a very few notable and honourable exceptions. (3 labour and 7 tories and half a dozen Lib-dems I believe) ALL the rest should GO and GO NOW! No re-election, no second chance, no appeal to the electorate. They have seriously taken the piss and should be GONE! They CANNOT be rewarded with re-election. How the fuck worse will they be if we reward them for this with their re-election? It doesn’t bare thinking about.
It is Local independent for me from now on. Let’s get some people in Parliament who care about their constituents, care for this country and will put US first FOR ONCE!!! For once, let’s all seriously DO THIS!
I think we are missing the point a bit here,They can all make excuses claim it was within the rules try and pay a bit back but and its a big BUT!!
THEY WERE ALL STEALING OUR MONEY,THEY GOT CAUGHT THE REST SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC….POLICE CELL,INTERVIEW,EVIDENCE,COURT,JAIL
NO IFS NO BUTS ITS A CRIME AND THE HOONS CONFESSED AND LEFT ALL THE EVIDENCE PLOD COULD EVER NEED.
YUP…
I know the mainstream media read this blog, including political correspondents. So, I shall keep posting “Quod ad jus naturale attinet, omnes homines aequales sunt! the lagal maxim that states unequivocally and clearly and beyond scope for doubt that All men are created equal before the natural law.”
Please Mr media people, stop sucking Satan’s cock for a moment and actually ask them WHERE IN LAW (not rules or statute) WHERE IN LAW IS THE EXCEPTION TO FRAUD FOR MPs?
THERE IS NO EXCEPTION IN LAW FOR MPS! They should be facing criminal charges ALREADY!
“This essential problem was posed by Plato in the Republic, his work on government and morality. The perfect society as described by Socrates, the main character of the work (see Socratic dialogue), relies on laborers, slaves and tradesmen. The guardian class is to protect the city. The question is put to Socrates, “Who will guard the guardians?” or, “Who will protect us against the protectors?” Plato’s answer to this is that they will guard themselves against themselves. We must tell the guardians a “noble lie.” The noble lie will inform them that they are better than those they serve and it is therefore their responsibility to guard and protect those lesser than themselves. We will instill in them a distaste for power or privilege; they will rule because they believe it right, not because they desire it.”
Didnt fukin work did it they invented the trough instead.
A barrister specialised in fraud was on radio 4 this morning and summed it all up.
He said “clearly there are indications of fraud which should be investigated and handed to the CPS, but trials all trials, are very expensive and any conviction would rely on deciding whether there intent to defraud was involved, and this will ultimately be a jury decision. As a taxpayer I’m not sure I want any more money squandered on trials that may not convict. Rather make them pay it all back with interest and penalties.”
So there you have how the law may well be applied.
I do not think that there is a jury anywhere in the country that would not convict on all charges, regardless of what the “defence” barrister presents. Oh you could add perjury to the charges. As soon as any MP opens his mouth in his own defence, he will lie under oath. These people KNOW full well what they were doing and they knew it was a fraud.
Apparently Peter Stringfellow is disgusted with troughing MP’s.
Now he knows how the slappers feel that have to sleep with him.
What’s that got to do with taxation of income?
First line of Channel 4 news report….
“Elliot Morley wasn’t at home today…..”
but 2 fuckin policemen were, paid for by us. Who the fuck do these people think they are?
Sod off back into history, Roundhead. You’re weirding me out.
Just the IR protecting their sequestred assets
Ot – but Coffee House reporting that the fat hoon Nick Brown has admitted to knowing about Morley’s frauds days ago but did nothing about it.
What did the stupid fuck think would happen- that it would all blow over and everyone would forget about
Whips in general and Nick Brown in particular are a cancer on the political body
True, and Brown himself apparently knew ten days ago and did … nothing.
Brown was given a report in Autumn 2007,written by an HoC watchdog saying that the Expenses system was being abused and needed to be sorted. As always, he did nothing.
Like bowels in hot weather – Gordon is incapable of moving – a comforting thought since he’s in charge of the country.
Nell. that would be the do nothing labour party leader then?
I just heard an ad for Questiontime tonight with Dimbleby introducing the Daily Telegraph Editor as “The man who caused all this.”, not the MP’s then.
They’re still at it. The BBC trying to blame the messenger.
I think you’ve got the wrong emphasis there. The Telegraph is the paper that caused all this, without them there’d be none of this…and that’s a good thing….
But instead of “caused” perhaps Dimbleboy should have said “revealed”.
An oversight, perhaps, but given the Beeb’s penchant for Orwellian sub-editing, one that is worth highlighting.
That is because the political correspondents at the BBC have known about these expenses for years, and they have done NOTHING about it. The BBC are happy to be complicit in this Government’s raping of this country. They are all HOONS of the worst sort!
They’re next by the way.
I want to see just how much Toenails is paid in salary and expenses to keep publishing the shit he does.
Always good that our Shadow Minister of State at the Department of Energy and Climate Change Greg Barker has developed strong links to the Russian oil companies.
In 2006 he left his wife and children for William Banks-Blaney, the painter and decorator of that main residence of his…
Cue jokes re painting back passage etc.
I think we should gloss over that one – it was obviously an emulsional decision
yes,brush it under the carpet…
(I’ll get my undercoat)
Is he the MP for Bristle then ?
Who are these pricks who think that they just “pay back” and continue as if nothing happened…
They are a disgrace to themselves, the Tory party and to Parliament..
BE GONE WITH YOU
Reinaldo my chauffeur tells me that the next time we get a speeding ticket he plans to tell the Magistrate that he’s very sorry (although he feels that the speed camera should have recognised that he’d taken my advice about getting a move on), but fortunately the car has now slowed down.
CGT is one thing, but not the only one. Blears has coughed up and so should the other subsidised property-dealers.
BUT what about the expenses they claimed that enabled them to play the property market? That was public money, misapplied, and should be repaid.
Gorbals Mick should be leading the clean-up, but sadly and predictably his sole interests seem to be defence and concealment.
There should be a judicial enquiry into all their exps with those found less than innocent referred to Plod for a fraud investigation.
BTW, that link to the Taxpayers’ Alliance report on MEPs’ troughing is a real eye-opener – thanks, Guido. MEP is a perfect job for the untalented, greedy layabout. Where do I apply?
I think there is more to come out on Gorbals other than his chauffeur expenses.
After all he has claimed £15k pa on his Glasgow home even though the mortgage is paid up. A lot of money for upkeep!
errrrr is this not the same thing wot has got Morley into all this trouble ?
You’ve hit the nail on the head re: Kirkbride. However the local BBC News programme featured her as their main headline. I suppose she at least has the excuse of blaming her husband for everything.
when it comes to the crunch all these so called high powered career wimim blame the men who “forced them into it “.
None of the parties are “purer than pure”, but I only remember one politician ever claiming that his party was – and it is poetic justice to see how wrong his claim has been demonstrated to be.
Wot party mite that be then!!
The one led by the person who thought people would say he was “a pretty honest guy”.
Oh, we never realised back then what a sense of humour he had!
Cardinal, that is one hell of a sense of humour he has. Hundreds of Thousands have died laughing at his one about the Iraqi’s having WMD!!!
If it is true that the HMRC will just return the money, perhaps these Hoons can make a donation to Shelter instead?
Thousands of Brits sleep rough, while these troughing scumbags use taxpayers’ cash to build up property portfolios.
Actually, on second thoughts, perhaps these homes bought with taxpayers’ cash could be given to Shelter?
Good idea all in London Centre they won’t need them they will be in clink,won’t work they have ordered 5 tankers full of whitewash and that’s just to cover the bullsh*t,the paint munufacturers are on a 24 day trying to supply the rest ,they have a fleet of empty the petrol tankers standby .
The repayment money is not going to the HMRC. It is all going into a special account.
Yep Mine….see ya, youse english gits
Please don’t give Shelter money, they are a fake charity who don’t provide any front-line services to the homeless. They are typical of the new charities who basically do fuck-all for the people they claim to be helping, but they “lobby” instead, pay themselves very generous salaries and spend millions on advertising.
I hate them all, especially NSPCC, Shelter, and Oxfam.
Yes, anyone truly wanting to help the homeless could better subscribe to the St Martin’s Trust (St Martin’s-in-th-Fields, Trafalgar Sq) or any of its regional counterparts.
There you KNOW that the cash goes to providing shelter AND – most importantly – help with rehabilitation, accommodation, clothes and finding work. They are utter stars, getting people who have fallen off the whirlygig back on board again.
This stuff matters – it’s not the clunking fist of the State with all that implies. It’s decent volunteers doung good work. And many of us are only a few pay-packets from the streets ourselves.
(My only relationship with them is as a very minor donor and major admirer for many years.)
Am I OK now?
Nut anyone?
If I were you, Hazel, I would hide those nuts in the grass. There’s a long cold winter coming soon for hoons.
strange.. it appears nick robinsons blogs are closed for comment..
Over Ran the servers
At least Andrew Neil’s is still open for the Daily Politics
Perhaps he is seeking political asylum in Moscow as well ..Putin likes chaps like him…
I am the only person capable and pure enough to sort this out.
Is that an impersonation of the person who 12 / 13 years ago was claiming to be “purer than pure”?
Actually “Whiter than white”
Thank fuck Cherie got me to arrange the shredding.
The meaning is the same and it is equally ridiculous whatever words are used. Ironically, your preferred version could actually get you in trouble with the PC gestapo that has emerged under this government, not least in the BBC.
But where did she stash the copies she kept for the family’s accounts?
MMmmm. Perhaps not, Hattie.
Haven’t you forgotten the confidential files I passed you which you accepted without challenge thereafter it resulted in me being thrown out of the Law Society ?
Why should either of us known that this was wrong – we are both solicitors, after all?
Sorry … we got caught.
As I always say, when things go tits up you’re in with a chance.
I notice Milliband is apologising on behalf of everyone but not planning to make any payments for errors made under the direction of senior officers of the payments office….I love all this honesty
Zbig,
I am being asked to remove wallpaper in one house here in Islington, drive to near Peterborough where cousin Marcin lives and rehang on other walls, apparently this is called refurbishment or this is what kind gentleman expained to me to write on the receipt. Maybe we call uncle Lech to come and fill political jobs no one wants here?
All this troughing in the lower house has diverted attention away from the shame on the upper house. I say A Plague on both your houses
A plaque of both your houses, surely?
I was beginning to think I was getting anger fatigue until I heard the report about “Lords” Truscott and Taylor tonight. There was the Tory leader of the House saying that their punishment would be harsh – 6 months suspension. What? These two are guilty of outright corruption – selling their services to companies wanting changes to legislation is corrupt. They should be stripped of their peerages and prosecuted as common criminals.
And to cap it all, I then listened open-mouthed to Nick Brown, the Labour chief whip, saying that the suspension of Morley from the PLP should not be seen as an imputation, and that he hoped things sorted themselves out for him. They just don’t get it.
Reform the Upper House and get rid of these idiots.
Baronness Warnock tonight ch 4…….”we philosophers don’t have the answers we only pose MORE questions…”
What use is that…… loads of questions …..nbo answers?????? Why is she still there?
B’ness wanrock is another Old Labour stooge dressed up as an “intellectual”..I knew here….the worst type of hypocrite…giving lessons all the time…
ITS QUITE SIMPLE NOW
GET ROD OF THE USELESS TROUGHERS
ABOLISH THE HOUSE OF LORDS
They did ‘reform’ the upper house. That’s the liebour type of reform that just fucks it up, an costs much more.
Bring back the hereditory peers I say and kick out these piss poor place-men and women.
321 Historian – ‘abolish the House of Lords’
NEVER! Even in its post-Bliar form it still has enough sense and vigour to vote down the more idiotic stuff fed up to it by the moronic NuLab masses in the Commons.
Reform it, certainly – firstly by kicking out all the post-1997 NuLab rubbish that defiles its benches. But for heaven’s sake keep it: it is our last defence against NuLab totalitarian lawmaking.
BENEFIT CHEATS: WE’RE CLOSING IN ON YOU! (thanks to the Telegraph and Guido).
Has anyone rung the benefit cheat line to report the Hoons?
Have I missed the big piece Guido was promising on Hoon?
No, but I’ve availed myself of the link kindly supplied by Old Holborn.
Anonymously, too.
The BBC’s Ben Wright is being a good Labour boy. Can you tell his father is the Labour MP for Cannock Chase? CUT THE CORD BEN!!!
Another BBC journalist with a family link to parliament …. no investigative journalism we may all presume…
Then he was in a position to know from personal experience what the troughing hoons were up to and DID NOTHING ABOUT IT FOR YEARS!!!
He is as complicit as the MP’s are.
This is going to lead to a ‘dutch auction’ of which party can stay ahead by throwing most ‘sacrificial lambs’ onto the barbecue..
Didn’t Nick Clegg identify someone he didn’t like in an indiscreet phone call ?
Perhaps he will be dispensed with as part of a leadership ‘circle jerk’.
Maybe even the arslikhan tendency will try and climb the greasy pole by writing even bigger cheques and then grassing up their mates..
When is McMental going to repay us for his char?
Goe and catch a falling star
Get with child a mandrake root……….
then we are in with a chance of getting it back (apologies to John Donne)
I would knock it orf thar wages. – ‘make it hurt ‘em a bit.
If people are sure they are entitled but want to make a gesture then they should give it to charity.
If the revenue later decide that they are liable… that is their look out !!
Sending the money to HMRC is just a hedge against being caught…
Give it to charity? You mean cut out the middleman? Most of these “charities” are taxpayer funded already.
http://fakecharities.org/
I like fakechariteis – I have submitted at least one myself.
But I was thinking more ‘Fawkses Tshirt and Hoodie Fund’ so people submitting material and not even asking for a credit can be *properly* rewarded…. Eh?… What you say GF?
Extortion funded fake charities.
Good news for Mr Abrahams. He may get his money back now.
So he’ll pay the capital gains tax. Big deal. Taxpayer money bought, at least in part, the property. It is only just that any profit from sale is returned to the public purse. same for Blears and the rest of the thieves.
Only 40% of the profit AFTER the first £10K or so pocketed at that
Women get an easy ride. That bint with the house in Southampton and Blears have been left alone. Why? Add in kirkbride as well. No doubt there will be more women, look at 5 bellies. she even fucking whined that she was being picked on fo rbeing a woman.
- and big tits – surely ?
PHWOORRR!!
anyone got a pasty? Pie? Cake?
and they have forgotten about my LOVELY MOCK GOTHICS
The Taxpayers’ Alliance said they’d instigate private prosecutions on all those with fraudulent claims that the police fail to investigate/prosecute.
That’s them all then
There are women and women!!
You only have to look at Television X and compare those birds to the mingers in Parliament to realise the truth in that statement and that Television X is greta value for money.
just tried to comment on bbc have your say, immediate rejection, stating i had used offensive language, puzzled i read through what i had wrote, the only word not in the English language was ‘troughers’ i deleted this word and tried re posting comment, same thing, i looked again, i see i had wrote ‘oh my god’ thinking bbc pc brigade may think that will offend, i deleted that, tried re posting, same thing, thought ahh maybe it’s the smiley face that was offensive deleted that, same thing. so i came to the conclusion, that the offensive language i used was (as written) ‘what an utter contemptable bunch labour are’ .. so i decided to cancel comment.
Perhaps you mis-spelt hoonemptible
You may have put a ‘u’ instead of an ‘o’ in contemptable.
“bbc have your say rejected” more like.Dont bother with the fuckers.
Tripped across this piss take of BBC website – it is vintage but could have been spoofed yesterday. Says it all really…
http://plato-says.blogspot.com/2009/05/spoof-bbc-website.html
Chris Hulme making a right Hunt of himself on Channel 4 News snapping on about his trouser press.
He’s having a Limpdick Opec moment.
LOL
It’s the small things that will finish them, like the bathplug…Like they got Capone for tax evasion, they’ll hang the Huhnester for his trouser press.
Cazn you see all these jerke drowing in a sea of bathplus??trouser presses, tampaxes, ladies underwear and Mock Tudor beams…not to mentioned silk cushions, multiple loo seats (they seem to have a fixation about smart loo seats), chandeliers, beds, cookers , flat screen TVs………..
IT BEGGARS (OR BUGGERS) BELIEF AS PREZZA WOULD SAY…
QUITE A THOUGHT
Well I have to look smart for work on £16,000 a year – and I cannot claim for my clothes.
Husband a farmer – and no he cannot even claim for his Farmer’s Weekly – at £1.00 a week.
The MPs just don’t understand
Yep – saw that on TV – seems to think that because he is 565th on the least expensive MP’s list,it means he is entitled to the Trouser Press that he claimed for – got very aggressive and arrogant to the member of the public to have the cheek to challenge his god fucking given right to claim for a trouser press.
By the way,he is a millionaire – shows money can never buy brains.
Stop being rude about
I know I attract attention because I look like a deformed toilet brush but really…
enough is enough
(PS As I keep saying, the girls love me – odd that no)
Agreed. What these Hunts don’t get is not the amount but the principal. Shop lifting is shop lifting.
Hoons hoons hoons
I wonder if the balls are all sweaty?
Sweating Balls ?
Better watch out or mincy boy might come sniffing round
if he keeps winking at me im going to spit roast his wife.
shrivelled Mitch surley !!
So Morley has been suspended, has he not the decency to at least resign.
I think he’s been expelled.
liebour doesn’t do resignation – its a celtic tribal thing.
Face it. HMRC have 6 years after receiving the tax return to get back to any of these MPs and say that they misrepresented that the house they sold was their primary residence and hit them with an assessment. So this “I don’t have to” is a nonsense. It should be “I got away with it so far”.
what about a wee taste of Sharia law for them – they’re so fond of allowing it – then Brown can have one hand to go with his one eye and the rest
seems only fair – they allow it – let them have it
or
a nod is a good as a wink to a half-wit
After reading some of the above comments, my 10 year old son just said; “surely these people will get into trouble with the Police for writing these things.” This is a perfect illustration of what happens to the young minds who have been born, educated and are growing up under this Liebour Government. They’ re not taught to think for themselves, rather parrot some line trotted out by the D 0f Education from their latest social experiment in levelling the playing field. Compare and contrast to his mother, a true Thatcher’s child, who was taught how to construct an argument and has never stopped believing that every individual is entitled to an opinion and should have the freedom to express it. (plus I learned how to spell and punctuate, which apparently, is not important anymore) It makes me want to cry for everything that is being lost.
Vee vill tell you vaht to think – and ven to think it!
Und vat iz your name leetle poy?
My son loved your comment, he can’t stop laughing! Sadly it is now bedtime for poor little boys who have their KS2 Maths SATS tomorrow.
Yes and the child would be arrested for racism if he or she said that they didn’t wish to sit with a brunch of other children who couldn’t speak English.
Don’t believe me?
Then read this?
Though an old story (2006), this is worth reading
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-410150/Schoolgirl-arrested-refusing-study-non-English-pupils.html
NuLabour appeared to have forced teachers and the police to behave like Hilter’s Brown Shirts.
I want my fucking country back from these hoons.
My wife is a primary school teacher and you would not believe half the shit the union send out to her, she seems to spend most of her time on diversity courses but she does not (and she assures me no other teacher in her school does either) indoctrinate the kids, the curriculum does it all for them.
Mummy ! That nasty man made my ears bleed. Waaaah.
Kids always rebel against what they try to teach them. Shouldn’t worry too much.
er mick, as you are an apologist for the murderers of the children of Palestine, it is clearly not appropriate for you to advise on childcare.
you really should address your mental issues mick.
lots of conflict going on in your mad head, eh?
Retarded As …,
You are projecting again. Has your mental deterioration got so obvious that you’ve been banned from close proximity to children?
If he was only objecting to some of the vocabulary used, rather than to the venerable sentiments so earnestly expressed, I would not blame him. Bad language is something that has flourished under THIS socialist regime, and in its brainwashing I mean broadcasting department the BBC, particularly on a Friday night. You only have to hear the kind of filthy language and associated violence used by our commitrash commissars in relation to each other, to have the measure of their degraded characters. A true conservative can always destroy an opponent in impeccable English. I am not certain what party Mary Whitehouse supported but I can have a pretty good guess at it, and at what she would have thought of the present malaise and those responsible.
I don’t claim to be a true conservative. I just want sensible adults politicians making sensible decisions with the money they’ve got. I don’t care if they’re Labour, Liberal or Tory.
But if you’re being governed by a bunch of fucking glib economic imbeciles then I don’t think we should restrict ourselves in using the full range of the English language to express ourselves.
It’s not big and it’s not clever not to swear.
Like Hazel Blears. She’s not big and she’s not clever either.
You’re not wrong, pal. We are descending into the Dark Ages. Then, however, the ignorant and illiterate knew that they were thus. Today everyone is told that he is just as good as everyone else, in every way, which, since everyone is in fact biologically unique, is patent nonsense — leaving aside differences in education and upbringing.
jgm2, there are approximately 200,000 words in the English language. Swearing is cathartic, but ineffective because it still offends many people. You want the widest possible audience for your righteous denunciation of the petty, conceited crooks and mediocrities who have debased, betrayed, and ruined this country.
Fuck ‘em, that’s what I say.
Wot farking bad langwage you onabaht?
Look, here’s me with messing abaht wiv Tom Cwuze. Qwality TV that. Well worth 500K a year.
With an attitude like that jgm2, you are bound straight for Hell (not in the swearword sense to which you are currently accustomed, but a place full of fire and brimstone).
Anyone who makes a habit of swearing is either stupid or bad or both, and is thus utterly worthless and contemptible. I believe Oliver Cromwell amputated the tongues of soldiers who swore, and he was well justified in doing so.
better not tell him about meltwater !
Strangely when my 10 year old was looking over my shoulder she was insisting that I call Gordon brown “stupid”
Tell your son he is a freeborn Englishman, winner of first prize in the lottery of life: he can say exactly as he pleases, any damn thing he likes. It is a free country, and we will kill anyone who tries to make it otherwise.
That ought to do it.
BOORAH!
Amen to that Blue and proud. Amen to that! We do not educate our children in the state schools anymore. We indoctrinate them. I have spent a lot of time re-educating my daughter (who is now 18). She would come home from school and show me what work she had done and what she had been told. I used to tell her the truth to give her a better understanding that there is a difference between opinion and fact and there are valid counter arguments to most theories.
Some of the teacher’s really appreciated what I did for my daughter as they were not allowed to educate her, just indoctrinate her with “accepted knowledge” Things like an inconvenient truth taught without question or pointing out the many errors in that polemic. Some teachers did not approve of my encouraging my daughter to think for herself, analyse information independently and form her OWN view. I am glad that they did not like it, I did it all the more.
I also like what David Icke said about education and what he was told about his son from a teacher at his son’s school. They told him his son was a disruptive influence. He asked how, they said, he keeps asking awkward questions. He said, OH? So he is thinking for himself then? Jolly good!!!
Cameron is a Hoody Hugging Hunt.
The Hunt is maxed out on property expense claims.
The Fucking Hunt has a cheek to critise others.
Fucking Hunt!!!
Just noticed the Ginger humanoid on the advert on the main page……… “She may lose her home” ……….. any resemblance to any living individual is purely co-incidental!!!!!
The reason that ‘Westminster was a very unhappy place today’ is the prospect that they’ll now have to fight like dogs to retain a wage of ‘just’ 60k.
Most of them would do well to command that in the real world and are now facing a serious change in their financial circumstances.
They could bring back bob-a-job, worked for me.
Have I missed something?
Our Glorious Leader doesn’t appear to addressed the Home Sec, Chancellor, SoS for Communities blah blah or McNumpty [can't remember his job title] for flagrant snouting???

I have a bunch of PUBLIC RELATIONS firms working for me
They contact the Labour Party when I want a new casino..
I say “How much”

Same goes for any businessman nowadays..
Just need to knwo the right public relations company
Guido and the the Daily Mail know their names…
They can buy anyone in the UK now…
Since Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson opened the flood gates of generalised corruption…
Never thought I would see the day when Britain was as corrupt as italy…
But the Mafia don’t target their adversaries’ wives & kids
Yeah remember how keen Liebore were to force super casinos on us, in fact was it not Tessa Jowell leading the charge….hmmmmmm suddenly things become clear.
Yea and that hubby of hers convicted in Italy !!
but he was not the only one friend
There is a book to write about casino openings in Britain since 1997 (for members of the Lobby who are soon to be out of a job !!)
There are some law firms and accountants who can provide the same service for me as well you know…
I (meaning you) spent £73,995 + vat of tax payers money on a JBF DCM industrial shredder, its been working 24/7. It was money well spent. The wife say thanks.
No No…
The Fees Officer shredded my expense claims…
BY MISTAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did the Fees Office also shred Speaker Gorbals’ expense claims ?
BY MISTAKE ?????????????????????
COME ON – LETS GET SERIOUS
OR ANY WE LIVING IN PALERMO????
If we were the shredded rubbish would still be piled up in the streets and could be reclaimed and stuck back together.
Even if the paper claims themselves have gone, the record of what was paid for each claim and some sort of budget descriptive will still be on the computer systems of the HoC fees office.
Just that detail could be revealing, cross referenced with dates already in the public domain about house purchases etc.
How many Barkers are there in that photo?
I see 6 of them and some screaming queer
Is Barker and MacKay form part of the “Cameron Inner Circle” God help us if Camron becomes PM…
He’ll be as bad as Gorbals…
I’m sure this makes sense to someone on here, but certainly not me.
Blogging from the pub ? (Hic !)
Being a child may give me a limited opinion about the government of this country ,but I’m still allowed to have my say about this. I think they are a bunch of stealing, robbing, lying, cheating pillocks ( no offence ). I totally agree with Blue&Proud (even though she is my Mum).
Do you want to see some piggies?
Sorry no, Tom has now gone up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.
Sadly no, Tom has now gone up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.

Instead of second home allowances, many MPs should have a free go to jail card.
Go to Jail. Go directly to Jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect £200!!!
Sure us tax tax payers would still pick up the tab for their living expenses, but a vast saving would be made.
I can’t escape the conclusion that today we have reached a ‘Lehman Brothers’ moment for MPs, where they know no-one is now safe, and all bets are off…
REGIME CHANGE MOMENT…
Every “Member of the public” that the TV channels interview say’s the same thing. Fucking jail em!
By a ” Lehman Brothers’ moment” do you mean MPs on TV leaving Parliament, carrying all their belongs in a cardboard box….
I think I will go along with that….
What about the public leaving Westminster with a MP in a box?
MP in a box? I’d DEFINATELY go along with that!!!!!!!
So far, apart from the Jacqui hubby porn, no other expense items relating to sex seem to have appeared.

Portraying the opposition as thugs is likely to backfire………
I do love the excuse “it was an error of judgement”. An error of judgement is something you do in a momentary lapse,not over an extended time period.
an error of judgement is something that happens when one course of action has to be weighed up against another course of action which requires some consideration of the merits of each case,. A decision is then taken in good faith which subsequently turns out to be the “wrong” decision when the situation pans out.
Claiming for a home you dont live in, a cleaner who deosnt exist and a mortgage which was paid off amongst otherthings arent really the best examples of these kind of situations when all things are said and done. Good day.
Lord Mandelson says:
” I feel greatly let down by the british people, really I’m not sure I want to govern them much more. New Labour has been totally open about MP expenses since day one. Indeed we televised all arrangements in a programme called Alan B’Stard. I have been informed the prolets understood this to be a comedy programme instead of current affairs. This only adds to my need to reflect on governing such ingrates when there are much larger salaries to be had in Europe”
Well, off you go, dear, if you really must.
De-selection is not enough. Resignation is not enough.
In the end: Elliot Morley is going to prison.
And he won’t be alone in there..
We should move on
Fuck
this shower of knuts make me look like a shinining beacon of probity,

That remains to be seen…
We’re coming for you later Mandelscum, fondlebum
Did anyone else see the Labour “trough” political broadcast for the European and local elections.
I don’t think I have ever seen such a nasty piece of propaganda. It reminded my of the Nazi’s.
My mrs did she say’s it was disgusting,full of threats that the Conservatives will do if they get in and grandma and grandad saying that they would lose there bus passes is the Conservatives get in,she says if that’s all they can come up with they are on a loser,funny she’s not interested in politics,so one lost voter.
I just fucking laughed at their piss-poor sense of timing. The ‘story’ went in one ear and out the other. Now, where’s me baccy.
You should have seen the Piece of pish masquerading as a Party Political Broadcast for Scottish Labour shown up here tonight . Iain Gray told us he was once a teacher in at a really happy school until 1983 when he left to do brave things in the jungle( or so the picture suggested) on his return a few years later ( remember folks the evil tories where in power by this time) all the pupils were depressed and the school was rubbish …boo hisss bad bad tories !!! Who writes this pish ! Jesus christ they are getting deperate.
Yes Ian Gray… character references from some Socialist School teacher, some Socialist ‘Activist’ and then some twat ‘businessman’ (Socialist surely) who probably is his best pal.
He’s a fucking joke, he’s even lower on the radar than Wee Wendy.
Yep – had to turn it off after the woman appeared with her “son” in their back garden – this advert must have been conceived by Hitler (Balls) and approved by Goebbels (Mandelson).
Sorry about the typos Im still laffing my arse off at the shite spouted by Gray.
Yes-it was similar to the one they used against the SNP in 2007!
And it NEARLY did the trick!
If I was Cameron, I would reply IN KIND!
AND PULL NO PUNCHES!
I would have thought that he would have plenty scope in tearing the snotgobbler to pieces!!
Good job nobody listens to labour any more, let alone believe a single thing they say.
Labour are finished. dead, destroyed in the public’s eyes. I can only hope that the tories and lib dems are too and that people of these Isles are sufficiently pissed of with the whole damn lot of them to get out on polling day and vote in overwhelming numbers for local independents!!!
For ONCE, can we all elect people who actually GIVE A SHIT ABOUT US!!!
Telegraph being coy so far about what is coming tomorrow. Usually dropping hints by this time.
Me thinks Telegraph and Balls lawyers are deep in negotiation.
Might be to do with the fact that the DT editor is on Question time tonight. One not to miss I think. Got my beers chilling in the fridge.
They are now
“The latest disclosures from the Telegraph on MPs’ expenses show questionable claims submitted by a minister working in one of the highest offices of state.”
Minister – highest offices of state – must be Ms. Balls, what other minister is in a recognisable oddice of state – what odds that she has claimed her testosterone patches?
Working in one of the highest offices of state. Could be a junior minister in such an office.
Damn, had a bit of a Dolly moment there
I would like to see the receipted confirmation from HMG or the Tax Authority that these MPs have actually paid ANY money back, to date. Special accounts be damned.
When are the Police going to investigate these criminal acts of fraud with clear “intentions to deceive” by many MPs?
For Sale, ‘Dunmincing-in-the-wold’
Good evening all
Update
Very busy day
MI5 told me they are beginning ot leak all sorts of horrors now…
So expect some real surprises
The Hidden Establishment is getting really worrried, things getting out of hand
I am taking advice now (from Boris’ lawyers as well) about whether to begin an investigation of the WHOLE OF PARLIAMENT since 1997
AND THE LABOUR PARTY
I have not got enought men to take these Labour criminals on one at a time…
I only have a few thousand men and if the whole population starts uprising, I will not be able or willing to intervene
I told the PM that (but he seemed to be high on something)
So we are entering dangerous time fellow ciitizens
This might be a regime change time…and that is always dangerous…
But it will work out well in the end..
Courage and
You can always count on me to do my best…

Does that mean the booze-cruise to Calais is cancelled, sir? Over.
A great piece in the DT from Jeff Randall about that fat Hunt the speaker. I like his last line:-
“As for Michael Martin, the worst-ever Speaker, my friends in Glasgow have a saying: “Pick yer windae, yer leavin!”
Full text can be found here:-
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5325809/MPs-expenses-The-Speaker-should-have-put-a-stop-to-this-not-indulged-in-it.html
I was wrong, I never thought he would go but it’s not long now you arrogant pig!
Does this mean he’s going to pay me back what he’s taken from me?
He’s gonna take take even more from you too. Wait till you see the size of his pension pot!! Im sure his constituents in the Gorbals in Glasgow will be more than happy for him. Whoever said Champagne Socialists was right.
I never realised what they meant when they talked about the re-distribution of wealth. They meant it alrightm but not ofcourse for the little people. Fat Hunt!
Thanks for pointing this one out, it’s a good article
MPs’ expenses: Government minister in spotlight
The most serious abuse of Parliamentary allowances by a serving Government minister is due to be made public by the Telegraph, adding to pressure on Gordon Brown as he seeks to contain the scandal.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5325720/MPs-expenses-Government-minister-in-spotlight.html
That has to be Balls and Cooper.
Failing that Darling, and Balls and Cooper are in the frame for best (worst?) couple.
I’m praying for a pair of Balls
Sky News reporting tomorrows Telegraph to have ‘Questionable claims (ie fraud) by a SENIOR MINISTER” and also, wait for it, the spotlight will turn to married MP’s… oooh the Balls might be getting it!!!

Come to me for any advice on how to muck ANYTHING all up and start again
VIRGIN AS THE DRIVEN SNOW
Were I DT editor I would be serving Roast Balls for Sunday lunch. With a Hain jus
Did someone say I was on QT tonight? Fuck it, better motor. Sorry, won’t be any Ball-bashing. Buy the rag on Saturday (£1.60) or tune in to http://www.telegraph.co.uk. Ta.

MP’s now turn on the man who approved these allowances and gave the advice
Complete clearout seems to be the rallying cry
Its nothing that a few years in Belmarsh wouldn’t solve
It’s little wonder that at the same time that our right to privacy was/is being removed these pigs were deperately trying to keep their troughing private. That’s an aspect of this mess that really riles me.
me too!!!
If you see Vince would you tell him his tea is on the table
are there any jammy dodgers left ??
Only a couple of jammy doggers, I’m afraid.
Never had any of this fiddling nonsense in my day. An MP was comfortable enough to support himself, without the need to get the fingers caught in the till. He had an outside job on a board or two, an army pension, and a couple of mistresses stashed away in town.
This lot of shabby, mincing, pinko ex-social workers shouldn’t be on a parish council, let alone trying to run the country. Set the dogs on ‘em.
Bloody damned bunch of bloodsucking blighters.
Sorry for the rant. Been giving the cellar a hammering. In fact – do you know -I was just about to taste a rather nice single malt.
Can’t for the life of me remember where I’ve put it down.
Quite right Sir
But I have never had as muich fun in my life…
Chasing this Labour scum is far better than chasing foxes..
Have you seen them resigning, jumping out of windows, paying cash, and running aound like heédless chickens..hilarious….what sport…!
The only problem is that I do have enough hounds to chase 400 odd Labour Mps all running in different directions…
Never had that problem with foxes…
Pass me the G & T Prezza – you are the only one left now you bugger and I did promise you a cottage……
Damn right, Colonel!
What about a scum version of hunting. let loose a nulabor MP on our estate, and the mob chase him with 50 rottweilers.
Absolutely old bean. Rot started with educational reform of course.
Labour lot should have stayed at the Techs, accepted their trades. None of this “aspirations” nonsense would ever have caught on if they had.
Trouble is once you let them out of the box, damn hard to get ‘em all back in again like bloody fleas you know.
Look where it’s got us, dreadful tribe of Celtic clansmen poured over the border and taken over the House. Even the Lords isn’t safe, by Jove they’ve lowered the tone.
That Truscott fella blathering away to a reporter about some amendment or other, shifty cove, looks a bit Russian somehow, but most of them are, never ridden to horse you see.
In my day reporters were kept at the door. Black Rod saw to that , good Brigades man he was.
Hurrumph
Well chukkahs starting, have to go.
Does anyone else see a metaphor in the picture that the DT is using on its home page with the trail of tomorrow’s instalment – the House of Commons at sundown?
Isn’t that Happy Hour?
You would have to be blind not to see that…
But it is already curtains for this Parliament..
And the next if the same criminals get elected again…
NO GOD, PLEASE NO!!!
How much worse will they be if we rewarded them with re-election? They would take that as national acceptance and wholehearted approval of their blatant theft.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!!!
How can you chuck a Labour MP out od the PLP when it is already a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY…with whips, ennforcers, threats and the whole range of “pressures” operating !!
And is there no honour among thieves ?
BBC News 24 Breaking news….DT to reveal serious “abuse” tomorrow by serving minister. Could it be Mr Balls??
Sorry if this is old news!
Balls, Hoon and Smith have not yet featured.
Geoff Hoon was exposed on the first day. He has built up a property empire worth £1.7 million funded by expenses.
He and Darling, along with Blears, are the biggest crooks of all.
Hoon has.
I’m just sorry it’s news
It’s more dirt on Jacqui Smith. Could force a resignation.
Also covered in the DT tomorrow: Blunkett, Jowell, Bev Hughes, Prescott etc
Haven’t we already heard all about Prescot and his mock tudor cladding and 2 loo seats?
There’s plenty more shit where that fat turd came from!
I hope you are right but alas I fear all this talk is just wishful thinking
Oh! This gets better and better! I’m coming over all faint and wobbly.
Liebore people NEVER resign, they have to be dragged out kicking and screaming.
What pisses me off is the claim that we need to pay ‘good money’ to get ‘good people’ in the job. Like the bankers I suppose… In my job the ones that climb the greasy wages pole tend to be the least competent.
That happens when the boss is a hoon, you should dig some shit on him and take him down, eh?
He doesn’t even bother to bury it, so I reckon chance will have him without my stir.
Surely the state of the banks prove that those idiots at the top were clearly not the “best” people, so why do they get away with saying this shite ?
Because ‘they’ are on good money, so have to justify themselves. It’s a cosy club.
The ‘good money for good people’ is a nulabour mantra. It’s a lie that they have been perpetuating for over 12 years. It’s a complete myth.
The trouble is we’ve got a whole bunch of public sector workers and especially the CEOs of the privatised rail companies and railtrack, who are all demanding eye watering salaries upwards of £200k. They really have convinced themselves they are worth it, when in reality most of them haven’t a clue. This is why the country is falling apart.
Slightly OT but I work for a huge global PLC in London. 300 people have been made redundant since xmas. Yet at xmas our chairman paid himself a bonus of £8m. That would have kept those 300 people in a job.
Today we all recieved an email from the chairman telling us that the 1st quarter figures are really not too bad at all. They are also going to double the dividend for the shareholders. In the meantime we have all been warned there will be another wave of redundancies in the summer.
He thanked us for our support and for being understanding during these ‘painful’ times for the company.
I know this is private sector and not the government, but this sick, greedy, selfish attitude is endemic in our society and is a real scurge.
It’s all out of control.
The MPs who have been caught troughing should resign. That would be the honourable thing to do. It’s outrageous that people like Margaret Moran will probably get away with it and remain as an MP.
Sorry to rabbit on, but like most people I’m angry and cannot believe what a bunch of ‘holier than thou’ thieving cowards have been our so called guardians for the last 12 years. They have ALL got to go.
I meant scourge of course and not scurge!
Blairs Britain is in fact Brents Britain. Yep David Brent is the true legacy of Tony Blair !
I’m a teacher. Schools are going the same way. Privatisation by the back door. Too many bosses on ‘good money’, not enough grafters (on ‘ok money’ – I’ve never heard a teacher complain about their wage). Blairish heads spinning PR bollocks. No accountability at the top. Targets. Data. League tables. Plus holding back the bilge of the way society’s going has now become that little bit (even) harder.
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
If you pay lots of peanuts,he brings the rest of the tribe
Slightly OT, but I have been told that MP’s salaries are not subject to deduction of income tax and NI. Can anyone confirm or correct?
Can’t find the rate of tax at which MPs’ income is taxed but came across this review.
Review of Parliamentary pay, pensions and allowances 2007 Cm 7270-1
Interesting to note the recommendation that things called Allowances should be renamed Expenditure, eg Winding Up Allowance; and Additional Costs Allowances should be renamed Personal Accommodation Expenditure. That didn’t happen, did it?
Paragraph 5.54 is absolutely prophetic -
“it is in the area of ACA that the greatest scope for abuse is thought to exist”
- and suggests that unreceipted expenditure should be reduced to £50/month (instead of, I think it is, £249/month).
Paragraph 5.56 rejects the idea that if an MP makes a profit on selling his home he should share that with the taxpayer.
Salaries taxed, expenses and allowances not.
Thank you, gentlemen. (If I have assumed incorrect gender, my apologies.)
How come depriving Tory MP s of the whip is a punishment ?
Is this some sort of S&M code ?
No Sir..
We leave the SM bit to all those lovely Labour poofters like Mandy, Bryant and Bradshaw… did you know they have their own Club ? Better than the Bullingdon by far…
‘Labour peers will be first Lords suspended since English Civil War.’
Two of them have still got away with it.
Besides, being suspended from the gravy train for just six months is no more than a slap on the wrist.
Howcome Lord Ahmed aint been kicked out yet for being a killer. Labour Lords are scum and should be shot.
iz it coz ‘e iz black, innit?

Cause the coppers are dead scared of the 10,000 angry mozz*ies he’d have storming Parliament Square in double quick time all wearing burkhas so they couldna be identified and jihadding like daft parrots.
Liebour are shitfrit cause their supporters are the angry (M*ozz) brigade
Not good enough. I think it likely most people will be offended by this slap on the wrist. It will do little to assuage the anger that is building up and I expect to see these hoons drummed out of th Lords in the not too ditant futre..

Clare Short exposed by the Telegraph.
She is the hors’d'oeuvres to the main course which is a ministers head on a plate.
thank god for a moment i thought you had typed Clare Short exposed in the telegraph , , shame really as she was one of the first group to say gordon should go . a minister?? after this week i wait until its printed .
not found anything on labours euro election launch , ed was there , raft of baying demostrators had to be kept at bay ??? veg dodging session ???
Its a total non-story: The Telegraph are near the bottom of the barrel.
She paid it back in 2006. I can’t abide her, but the DT’s wasting our time here.
How far back has the DT actually gone with these eexposures??
Have these Tossers only paid back what we know about??
Could there be more?
Is that why the Speakers Office stiill have not published the Claims?
Just asking?
Can any of you help?
The DT statement is singular – thus not the Balls Duo – yet!
We could find that one didn’t know what the other one was claiming. Imagine if Balls was found to be the one claiming illicit hotel romps….
Not being a business man, but surely the top story is for sunday. Max sales. Barclay twins are more interested in dosh than world domination.
you mean, one ball didnt know what the other ball was dooin??
zees is very inteeresting.. ja??
it was within the rules

Two scones short of a tea party that woeman is.
Where the fuck is Brown, his counting house is falling around him, where the fuck is he. Trust a fucking manager to be missing when the customers are complaining.
If Clegg finally works out that he’s never going to be Prime Minister until he’s been a leader of the opposition, and our Dave offers a little PR then who knows maybe the end of labour is in sight. With a few boundary changes and a little bit of PR Labour are wiped off the map, No wonder they got no answers
That was a cosy little trio photo with our Joanna, Dave & Nick. Don’t tell me the labour marginals didn’t see that one
Changing boundaries make easier to hit a SIX

Yveyye Cooper to be sacrificed to save Balls.

cock sacrificed to save arse
brown to get balls out now!
Arse sacrificed to save face.
Broon looks for Balls and spine
Balls to join Castrati
Whats balls?
Clare Short won’t mind being accused of anything if it gets her on the front page. She’s a limelight junkie.
She’s on BBC24 having a whine (or is that just her Brummie accent)
The accent. It was designed for whingeing.
Nick Griffin must be like a dog with two dicks right now.
No one would have heard of Nick Griffin if it hadn’t been for the valiant efforts of this government.
He does’nt know which one to lick first.
Both at once.
Want to know Nick Griffin’s real manifesto pledges?
Google Robert Cottage, David Jackson and David Copeland.
Claire Short now being fingered.

Having read it, it looks a bit dull really – on the whole mild troughing – Decorating far more often than i’d bother doing (but I’m a bloke).
A mix up between an interest-only and ordinary mortgage – quite juicy but repayed two years ago and not two days ago.
The only thing I’d wonder about is “why remortgage”. To get a massive interest free loan? (yes, free for her, taxpayers pay the interest).
Oh dear God. No links! No links!
Is she on route to a fingering in that pic or just leaving afterwards? She’s looking a bit smug/self-satisfied so… oh. She always looks like that.
I wonder what they’ll be discussing on Dumblefucks Question Time tonight?
I could write the script myself….blahblah, de blah blah blah de blah blah…applause….silence, applause…..ironic laughter at pathetic attempt at levity…blah, blah…pompous twat, twittering airhead, blah………idiot, fucking idiot, knob head….blah, Dumblefuck…double blah, wanker, shit fer brains, blah, blonde……..hippy Hunt, blah….fuckwit…….applause, Dumblefuck…now fuck off.
Somehow, I don’t think I’ll bother.
Hey have you seen the rushes ???
Fuck, where did you get the script from??
Clare Short outed for overclaiming her mortgage
Is this the woman who gave away her child as opposed Tessa who gave away her husband ? Just wondering
Roger Clemens is a scumbag for throwing his wife under the bus to try to make himself look good and to save himself so people point out that the scumbag is a scumbag. Tessa Jowell throws her husband under the bus to save her career and people point out that she is a minister. It is not fair.
Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!
Now that Barker’s done the necessary, the news will move on. There’s going to be two more embarrassed MP’s shortly; look at : Those Dangling Balls
Later, The DT say they’ll “shed light on MPs who are married to other MPs”.
Oh yeah
Come on DT. You are a tease!
Oooh fooookinng Hell !
Is it true that Brown and Cameron are registered as Limited companies for tax purposes.
in Snottys case, VERY fucking limited
Being an inhabitant of Westminster, one has to spend a lot of time dodging camera crews and dealing with MPs trying to steal your table at the utterly marvellous Paradise curry house on Denbigh Street. (That means you, John Reed. It was OUR table, we were already sitting there, so you can quite simply knob off!)
This evening, however, one was feeling more than a little lazy, so took a cab home from getting a Chinese takeaway, at another MP’s favourite, Kym’s. Teh cabbie regaled us with a tale that made me chuckle and one I thought I would share;
Cabby – “‘ere, you’re not a politician are you?” (For we were discussing the expenses scandal”
Carlos – “No, no, not at all! Just thinking it’s both comic and tragic and the same time”
Cabby – “Yeah, you’re right. Tell you what, the other day, up at Victoria, I picked up a couple of female peers (He would not be drawn on the affiliation), they asked to be taken to the House. I said, ‘You’d be quicker walking, what with the demo and all”
Carlos – “Well, yes. Seems daft, doesn’t it?”
Cabby – “Yeah, sure does. So, twenty minutes later, I drops ‘em off and one of them pays. She asks for a receipt, so I says, ‘You’ll be in the papers tomorrow then!’ And, d’you know what? Right there and then, she said, ‘Erm, no, actually, I don’t need a receipt, thank you very much’. I can tell you, I nearly shat me pants laughing”
Carlos – *Laughs. Hard*.
Brilliant, just brilliant. The working man sticking it to them! Needless to say, the cabby got a hearty tip. Even more needless to say, that tip came out of my own pocket and shall not be claimed.
Have you got wifi in your cab, then?
Don’t you must spend most of your time avoiding the permanent car crash in Westminster ? Even the Commissioner of the Met can’t clear it up I’m told…
Only MPs an us no the shortcuts
Who is it then? High Office, pretty limited range that.
Militwat?
Spliff?
Darling?
Cyclops?
Odds are it must be Jackboots surely
Could be darling, no sighn of him for a while.
It’s no wonder the economy is fucked, he spends all his time on his personal finances.
I’ve just read that the Martin is teetotal.
So not even as pissed as a rat defence.
Must be wrong.
You mean ‘teetotal’ like his chum Fatty Foulkes?
Ah. Teetotal as a newt it is.
Cheers!
IF GORBALS IS A TEE TOTALLER THEN PIGS ARE REALLY FLYING

Yeah. Like George Bush was teetotal. Teetotally pissed most of the time.
So the tee was totally 40% proof?
Hitler was teetotal. AND a bloody vegetarian.
Yeh sideways.
I don’t know if anyone saw CH4 News earlier but they had quite a good public forum section: The People Speak.

I’ll get my coat.
Our job is to weight up the facts, look at the issue dispassionately and then find the bastards guilty.
No point in watching question time tonight as it’sd already been recorded. And is now OLD NEWS.
AT Least Robin Day did it LIVE>>>The Good old Days when MPS would go on the TV and not demand appearance fees.
how come we havent heard about ed balls expenses?
makes you wonder if he has done a deal with the telegraph by perhaps handing over a certain expenses disk in return for his and his wife’s expenses not being published……
Never wonder what an idiot is doing before May is out…or something to that effect.
BBC is saying “Former Labour Cabinet minister Clare Short was paid more than £8,000 of taxpayers’ money to which she was not entitled, the Daily Telegraph has said.”
BBc is saying:
Former Labour Cabinet minister Clare Short was paid more than £8,000 of taxpayers’ money to which she was not entitled, the Daily Telegraph has said.
Clare Short is clearly fucking stupid and so if she says she hadn’t realised she could only claim for the interest portion of her mortgage as opposed to the repayment portion of her mortgage then I’m inclined to believe her.
On the other hand submitting two claims for £599.14 seems a little careless.
Clare caught short?
Must be someone elses fault.
Some nasty southern whimp man person in the trough office.
They didn’t understand the brummidgin handrighting.
“On the other hand submitting two claims for £599.14 seems a little careless.”
Perhaps she was a little bleary at the time.
Telegraph tonight – I guess Purnell or John Hutton (If he hasn’t been done already).
If you were editor of the Telegraph – you’d leave Ed Balls as the Grand Finale on Sunday wouldn’t you?
You know, the best thing about this modern age of communication is that many MPs have email addresses. Rather than just post comments here why not send them a message directly as I have just done with Mr Anagram.
It feels so good, think I’ll try Claire Short next.
If enough people do this on a regular basis we will drive them mental.
This is what I sent…
Hi Lembit,
I am looking to buy a new television. Rather than save up for it could you buy one for me and claim it back on expenses – the model I like is about £2500. After all, as a taxpayer I would have already paid for it in a roundabout way.
What do you think ?
Regards
Simon R
Unfortunately, my MP is one of the honest ones. An imbecile,but an honest imbecile.
He’s also Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
God help us all.
Or the invisible chancellor. Although I think he’s already been fingered for his multiple property flipping.
Have you ever been fingered Darling?
Coo-eee!
Fuckin odd that no news hound is investigating Darling. Must admit I thought he would have been one of the few not on the fiddle so why aren’t the press dragging him through the gutter?
Alleged police investigation, press coverage would damage the potential case.
Once he takes that comedy disguise off, he’s just a face in the crowd
There are no journalists. The Daily Telegraph is only printing this shit because somebody else did the investigating and then dropped it in their lap. Likewise when Guido dropped the Draper thing into their lap. There are no investigative journalists worth the name in the UK.
I used to live in Fucking Scotland. they’re tearing up the roads of Edinburgh to lay a half billion quid tramline from the centre out to the airport. there are two existing trainlines within half a mile of the airport. The main line runs right along the bottom of the runway. If they wanted to integrate the airport into public transport they had only to chuck down a few tonnes of concrete and build a platform and run a shuttle bus the half mile or so to the airport.
But no. Half a billion quid. Years of traffic disruption to build a fucking pretendy-train line.
Now come on guys. That’s crying out for investigative journalism. How many reports had to be rigged/forged. How many ‘public consultation’ meetings had to be packed withbussed in potential contractors? How many councillors and their wives had to be taken on all expenses paid ‘fact-finding’ trips to Hong Kong or wherever before that became a fucking good idea?
Really.
tear up the roads to put in a tram system that mirrors the existing route of the Airport Bus? Not stick a platform right at the end of the runway costing maybe 100K in materials?
The press in this country are fucking useless.
jgm2 -
In addition:
I am sure you didn’t mean to leave out the fact that there has been a dispute on this tram contract for months now.
The result is the city centre is in a mess and the cost to the taxpayer is running at £300,000 PER DAY … for nothing.
£300,000 per day, even if the contract negotiations is sorted, isn’t ever coming back.
You couldn’t make it up.
I abandoned Scotland last year. I don’t give a shit what they get up to now.
Salmond had his chance to pull the pin. There was ‘only’ 300 million or so committed at that point. It was clearly a shit idea. He could have saved the money and spent it on something else.
But no. He too was taken in by the screeds of self-referential bullshit generated by Balfour Beatty, Tarmac, Laing, tram manufacturers or whoever the fuck stands to make the most money out of this debacle. All doubtless recommended by some relatively pimply transport twat in the planning department looking to augment his CV.
It’s like that episode of the Simpsons where Springfield decides to build a monorail instead of using the money to fill in the potholes in the road.
I was in Edinburgh yesterday….my views entirely. Who okayed this tram line, the good people of Edinburgh should put his/her head on a stake…. no doubt about that… who is responsible …
Was this idea suggested by that idiot David Begg ?
Do you think the term of the next parliment will have to be extended to accomodate all the maiden speeches.
The’ve served up clare short as the starter tonight. So what’s the main meal?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
I don’t feel hungry anymore, thanks.
Know wotchyer mean. I’m feeling sick now.
Minister working in one of the highest offices of state ? = Minister for Northern Ireland??
and “some” couples = the darling wintertons?
It’s only Friday tomorrow – the best has got to come over the wekend and surely the finale on Sunday – so the lovely yvette and ed – I don’t think will be tomorrow
Oh the suspense!!!
Just let’s not forget the illustrious baroness.
Minister for Mount Everest.
Yea Batty Baroness of Udderly Disgraceful is still bed blocking the council house in Tottering Hamlets, chuck her out someone.
Minister for Mount Everest would be of more use to us than any of these “out of touch with reality Mnisters’ at the moment.
Does anyone else feel the same as me? – that we are at a crossroads in history and Parliament and the Lords will have to change if it wants to win back public opinion.
Both houses are not fit for purpose.
Please Ma-am, I appreciate no Monarch has independently disolved Parliament since William IV in the 1830′s, but we have a paralysed government at a time when the nation is in a major economic crisis – this is a crisis where we need our Monarch to step in and protect her people from this manic , out-of-control, self-serving government.
“Minister for Mount Everest” is that gluttenous Prescots food mountain ?
Let them eat Hake.
I wonder if Diane Abbott will be as smug as normal tonight.
Is she whiter than white? Not heard anything about her.
London MP – most unlikely
She’s been warning about this expected fallout for months.
I suspect, therefore, she has little to be concerned about.
As lefties go, there are many worse (what about Skinner for example, a deranged fool !)
I think Denis Skinner will come up squeaky clean. Indeed I shall be disappointed if this narrow minded blunt comedian is implicated in this mess.
Whiter than white our D.A.? Not last time I looked she weren’t , been on skin lightening pills has she?
She is a proper leftie though; sends her son to a fee-paying school rather than let him rub shoulders with the proles in a sink school in Hackney
That explains the 5k taxi fees
The Labourgraph is advising MPs that they could be done for fraud or theft.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5320925/MPs-expenses-The-cheats-are-risking-prison.html
Could be a warning that the DT will play dirty, given that it has injunctions and probably lawsuits filed against it.
Interesting.
They are talking about costs incurred whilst staying away from your own home overnight in this short piece.
Two claims for the same Hotel room?
I’m all of a quiver – got to lay down with Q Time followed by Andrew N and Abbot & Costello and a Blue Nun
Who knows what the morrow will bring us
Night night – sleep tight
Don’t let the bed bugs bite.
Whoops – nearly for to take me tablets !!!
So exciting!
Don’t forget to use both hands.

Very Interesting
I’ll wager that one thing the shredding was not, was incompetence.
Guido there’s a book in this – I think you should write it just as soon as Gordon’s government hits the buffers- not long now.
But everyone knows he’s a crook and a liar
I call my sheperds crook ‘Tony’ and it takes me for a ride
Yeah, I got these receipts, got Tony Blair’s name they ‘ave, the Prime Minister. What shall I do with ‘em? Oh, I know, what the hell I’ll shred ‘em, I’ve got nothing better to do after all. There’s a whole pile of ‘em, should take about a week if I don’t have a lunch break. Oh what’s this memo? “Please remember to mislay the electoral register in Glenrothes in a couple of years time.” No fucking problem.
Of course if you didn’t shred them – or if you have the glenrothes register – best thing to do ? fax or email them to guido – you know it’s the thing to do!!!
Depends on the point of entry.
It’s got to be Purnell, and his bogus claim that he stays in his constituency home in Broadbottom more than once a week.
That’s the place with the neighbouring village of Tightarse.

Now that is asking for trouble. One bloody good reason why MI5/MI6 should profile suspects.

From a distance.
Now there is a guy who won’t have to worry about being deselected by his constituency party.
It’s in their genes, sir. Over.
Is the bloke on the right with the two grey beards the bloke on the left in disguise?
Err, no sir. The one on the right is the indentikit created by one of his constituents. Fuckin public. No help whatsoever.Over.
that reminds me, i need to buy some Brillo pads…
That’s the same Malik who on the radio the other day was justifying all the shit now hitting the fan as “smears”.
Same Malik on Youtube recently telling a hall filled with burkha believers that, inshallah, parliament would be taken over by a majority of Mu*sl-im MPs by 2016.
A fine upstanding, religious man that Malik, may the fat*wa be with him, the Sha*ria save him and the police arrest him.
I’d like to chop something of his off!
At least we know that the Trough serves halal then:-
“In total, in three years, Mr Malik claimed £66,827 for the property – £18,173 less than the original cost of the house.”
Mr. Malik ‘works’ in Jack Straw’s ministry so he can also use the ‘ Accountancy is not my strongest suit’ card if he needs to.
Its the Justice Minister… some asian looking chappy…
Shahid Malik, ‘justice’ minister – just breaking on Sky. He’s going to JAIL.
Jail? Seems doubtful.
Just looks like a bog standard “not really my second home” trick.
“His second home claims have included £2,600 for a home cinema system — which was cut in half by officials” The gits.
It’s an expenses scam cooked up by him and his (convicted) ‘business’ partner chum to make a profit out of public money. That’s fraud and should mean jail.
Complacent hoon.

Rude words eh. OK. You’re a cock. A cock without any decent facts.
What makes the same old expenses fiddle a “scam”?
Perhaps a sensible answer to any of the following:
1) Is there any proof of a connection between the two men that is other than commercial?
2) Zaman … “Convicted” of what?
[Anything other than renting out a crap house - does that count as a conviction? I'm sure 99% of people round here don't even think such a fine free market service should get a fine. Do you agree with such Statist interventions in the rental housing markets? I don't]
3) Not worth asking unless theres good answers to the above. I don’t want to libel them too. But if a convict invents a scheme, and its pretty much identical to a “thoroughly good chap’s” scheme. Is there a difference in the legality of the two schemes?
4) What is the market rate for a crap house in dewsbury? I’d be pissed off paying as much as he’s been doing. I’ll answer that for you
http://www.findaproperty.com/areadetails.aspx?edid=00&salerent=1&areaid=0749
Theres a fair old flaw in the logic there. What sort of headline would this be: “Man who rents very crap houses, rents them out cheaply”.
Zaman doesnt look like he’s “in on the scam” because of the crap answers to telegraph’s questions. I bet he thought he was supposed to tell the papers what a good deal the taxpayer was getting on the dewsbury house.
The basics: He’s got a dubious claim on what is his main house, and he’s been trying his hardest to milk the system buying all sorts of crap in Peckham.
Apologies, Mr C – my comment came out a bit stronger than was intended.
However, I stand by my view but I take yours on board.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what the police make of it.
OK. ta.
What would be suspect is if Zaman skewed the market rates so the office was above average and the the house was below average.
Note too we only have the word of the above dodgy landlord as to whether £100 is below market value.
Asian looking, or actually Asian?
both… love to see how Al Beeb play this one out.. i bet fiver the ‘race’ card will be played before sundown tomorrow…
You’re small fry, Shorty.
It’s Shahid Malik, ‘justice’ minister – just breaking on Sky. He’s going to JAIL.
But not a short as Blears.
Though Short might be as bleary
labour’s broadcast tonight was like waving the white flag
Yes and someone should tell them that the European elections don’t result in a change of government. At least not directly.

How many votes has Shaheed Malik now diverted to the b-n-p?
Whatever Broons gang do,seems to have the opposite reaction to what they intend. Is this one of those “Laws of Consequence”
Law of Unintended Consequences. It really took off in 1997.
There is a great book to write (quickly) about all the Peers appointed since 1997 by Blair and Mandelson..
The generalised corruption will then become clearer…
And list all their malpractices…(and their “professions”!!)
And their wealth…
And their clients
The two labour Peers “nabbed” totday are JUST THE TIP OF TH ICEBERG…
Tom Bradby being wonderful on News at 10 – what a star. Finished on “Oh, did I mention he was the Justice Minister”.
I like the old biddy writing to her MP telling him to buy out the air freshener stocks at Asda. She said he ‘stunk to high noon’ or something.
Tom Bradby is excellent. You want fucking slaphead 4 eyes Toenails on BBC 1 with Brown’s shit on the end of his nose then have to watch Tom Bradby to really find out what is going on. Jon Craig is quite funny as well. But fucking Toenails is a Hunt.
Agreed, he’s becoming more and more polished by the day.
I always get the feeling he’s lovin’ his job at the moment.
Bradby has got a touch of the Mekon about him with that big forehead, but I thought he was great the other night. Laying into the troughing pigs and he sounded really fucking angry. Good on him.
Either that or skinned a poodle and used it as a balaclava.
can’t afford a razor bit like tranny draper
Don’t forget people this is only showing you what has been going on for the last four years, a lot of these MP’s have been at it for decades. You should go check what your councillors have been up to a well. Some of us here in Renfrewshire have been trying to get this out for years but up here in Scotland they have been trying to bury it.

Unite, NUT, Benefits Scroungers and NuLab Party members …. but that doesn’t make 22%.
Prisoners and mentally deranged can’t vote.
Surely that only leaves those incapable of basic reasoning and the “My dad voted Labour and he worked in the mines” and…who else ?
PFI Troughers. Lord Birt of Bullshit. Read the job adverts in the Guardian, Observer etc
Labour 22%
Liberals 19%
This is now within the margin of error that Labour could officially become the third party in British politics. This is no less than Blair and Browns destruction of the UK’s economy, legal system, constitution and moral compass deserve.
The UK is fucked. We are going to spend a generation digging our way out of the shitstorm of imbicility unleashed on the land this past 12 years. It is only right and proper that Labour are erased from history.
This is your chance Cleggy. Box clever. There are a lot of Labour voters just desperate for somebody to vote for that ain’t the party of Thatcher or the party of Blair/Brown.
Go after their votes. Kick Labour while they’re down. Settle for second. Be content with the (new) speaker asking you for ‘question from the leader of the opposition…’

My first time posting a comment, so with naivety I ask..
Is it possible that our elected elite, are trying to bolster a failing property market and increase public spending all by themselves, to offset the economic down turn? Have we misunderstood them and we should be grateful for their efforts. Arise Sir Geoff Hoon and your single handed attempts to correct your leaders poor economic management.
I notice the absence of Geoffery Robinson from the list of b’stards. Well done! him, but wait.. with his form is he the one lending them the deposits on the second home and taking a % from his colleagues as his laundered returns. Squeaky bum time for Mandy?
“Squeaky bum time for Mandy.”
No change there then.

Piss off Robinson go lick Brown’s piles clean
Since being elected in 2005, Mr Malik has claimed the maximum amount allowable for a second home, amounting to £66,827 over three years. Last year, he claimed £23,083 from the taxpayer for his London town house, equivalent to £443 per week. The Telegraph can disclose that the “main home” for which Mr Malik pays out of his own pocket – a three-bedroom house in his constituency of Dewsbury, West Yorks – has been secured at a discounted rent of less than £100 per week from a local landlord who was fined for letting an “uninhabitable” house.
Mr Malik also rents a constituency office from the same businessman, Tahir Zaman.
Mr Malik’s arrangement means he pays below market rent for his main home while billing taxpayers thousands for his second home in London. His second home claims have included £2,600 for a home cinema system — which was cut in half by officials — and £65 for a court summons for not paying council tax.

Despite the claims of Toerag trolls on here, it appears the the Balls are clean!
McKay and Kirkbride though are clearly a pair of thieving manipulative fuckin scumbags
From Daily Telegraph
“Miss Kirkbride received £1,392 from the taxpayer to pay for Mr MacKay’s travel costs, while he claimed £408 on her behalf.
The couple are the only husband and wife couple to take advantage of the perk. Fellow Tories Sir Nicholas and Ann Winterton did not use it, and neither did Labour’s Alan and Ann Keen, or the Cabinet spouses, Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper. “
I wouldn’t count your cajones yet mister.
What’s second home allowance times two?
Evening all! When will the police be called in? Thursday evening update
Is that it then, is the justice minister the slum dog millionaire?
He WILL be in tomorrow morning’s papers.
And who could deny him that accolade.
Thieving Swine.

We like Europeans like Lily Tenue. And Anna-Maria Galojan.
hush now fritz or we will have to come and sort you out…. again. Actually we are all from Africa all those years ago at least thats what that nice women scientist Alice Roberts said on TV the other night. sshhhh don’t tell the BNP
Oi!
What a shock. No sign of the Muslim on the BBC news website. They go for Clare Short instead. Must be pissed off no Tory to have a go at yet. The BBC are Hunts.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/
Give Malik a taste of is own Sharia crap then lets get the Shites and the rest
that is sexist to ahve a go at Clare Short when there is a macho man that they could ahve gone for instead. I almost do not want to have the taxpayer pay for my license fee.

“The landlord’s wife said the house appeared to be occupied by a constituency worker during the week. ” did he live there??? If he’s claiming on a property that he doesnt use as his main home then he’s toast
I wonder what they used to cut his telly in half, a stihl saw?
Is he one of the Ballymena Maliks?
Fuck me. Limpdick Opec must be pissed off. He was only allowed a £700 TV not a home cinema system. Should have been a muzzie

There’s a guy on Leeds City Council’s ‘Executive Board’ – £40,000 a YEAR – who was sacked by Kirklees (a neighbouring authority) – who doesn’t live or work in the ward that he represents. His nomination form for election to Leeds Council (which Leeds Council refuse to release) allegedly states that he was living in a flat in the main street, but the ‘flat’ concerned was simply his party’s office address. The police have investigated this guy for election fraud and say they sent a file to the CPS. But twelve months later and still no decision to prosecute. Fraud is endemic throughout the land – yet the CPS will not act. WHY NOT ??????
Can’t Prosecute Socialists
Yes…these paid councillors on ‘executive boards’ is perhaps a bigger but less prominent cesspool that the troughers in Parliament. Another shit Labour ‘pay yer mates’ racket.
Politicised.
Everything that matters.
That fuckin Lord LionHunt who was suspended for indicating that he’d be prepared to take money for amending legislation used to be leader of Blackburn Council. Presumably a mate of Jackboot Straw’s.
It’d be well worth investigating any dodgy planning applications in the Blackburn area to see if Lord LionHunt has been on the take there too.
Probably in the fiddle all his miserable fucking life.

I’ll tell you what : The Telegraph are near the bottom of the barrel.
The Clare Short story is a total non-story: she paid everything back in 2006. I can’t stand her, but the Telegraph is starting to taking the piss now.
Yep. I’d go along with that. Dim Mick/Brummie fails to understand mortgages and overclaims. Has it pointed out. Throw hissy-fit that her stupidity wasn’t spotted earlier but pays up.
Non-story sadly.
Plus she was retiring anyway after this election.

Shahid Malik and Baroness Uddin, what damage you have done to MP’s Ministers, the Lords, but more importantly to your own communities. Be ashamed because you won’t be forgotten.
There are major rebuilding jobs to be done here. Government needs to be disolved and re-elected. The Lords needs to be reformed. The ballot box is going to speak here.
All of these corrupt people must be prosecuted and got rid of.
So few Muslim representatives in parliament and such a high percentage of them exposed as crooks by The Telegraph.
Do the Barclay brothers realise they could have a million Muslim march on Sark if they’re not careful. Probably sink the whole island.
Drown before they got there my boy…
And B Brothers have a Navy protecting Sark (they are actually on a little island next to Sark)
that won’t stop the somalis
Wan’t a job as a judge?
What makes the whole thing even more embarrassing for them is the fact that they’ll also be shunned by muslim voters as well. Islam forbids a muslim to make financial gain without earning it (which is why they have to have special mortgages for muslims). So not only have they broken the expenses code by claiming for things that are clearly not work related in any shape or form but they have used the system to make financial gain from it and so broken their own religious codes as well.
As they say, there’s no hypocrite like a religious hypocrite.
I believe it could be a live lynching on Q.T. Oh happy days

Some bed time reading
….from a conservative MP’s blog
http://richardwillisuk.wordpress.com/2009/05/14/balls-fails-to-prevent-expenses-revelations/
“News reaches me that Brown protégé Ed Balls has been fighting a rear-guard action to prevent publication of the expenses he and his wife Yvette Cooper have been claiming over the last few years. Rumours have abounded for a while that the Daily Telegraph had a devastating story on the couple but I have been informed that Balls sought a High Court injunction to prevent the Telegraph publishing what it knows.
This morning the High Court rejected Balls’ pleas to cover up his expenses record and I am told that therefore there will be a very damaging story published shortly. Balls has been suggested by some to be Gordon Brown’s preferred successor and if he is damaged goods it will further reflect badly on the Prime Minister’s judgement.
I clicked on that link rather gingerly as willy suck didn’t look like my usual haunt on the net – may I suggest that Mr. Willis (UK) might get rather more clicks if he changed the title (or possibly many fewer).
Things could hardly get better……..
Brown’s judgement is already well recorded news. Epic. Historical. This will reflect on Ed Balls and his somewhat boy-like spouse. Although I have to say I did go out with a girl who looked a lot like that when I was at school.
It was an all boys school. I was desperate alright.
NOW MY WIFE IS GOING TO THINK I’M GAY LOOKING A WEBSITES WITH WILLYSUK IN THE TITLE IT WAS BAD ENOUGH TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE WOMENS DRESSES AND DILDOS.

He’s just been bleating like a a little (halal) lamb..poor dear!!!
The BBC just won’t report the towel head. Even Pig face short won’t be on for long. As soon as a Tory can be found to attack the BBC will be off
Is it cos it’s religious programming?
http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/05/12/72662.html
The BBC broke with decades of tradition Tuesday and appointed its first ever Muslim to head the country’s religious programming, a move that has irked several right-wing media outlets and Christian groups, who say Christian views are being sidelined in the United Kingdom.
Aaqil Ahmed will join the state-funded broadcaster in July to take up a new joint role as Head of Religion and Ethics and Commissioning Editor for Religion TV, the BBC announced, making Ahmed’s appointment the second time in its 87-year history a non-Christian has taken the role.

they have got fuckers on to talk the show out talking bullshit.
Ming digging his own grave. There’s a cost cutting initiative
To be fair, Ming was renting, yes renting the property on which he claimed for decorating. I actually, felt sorry for him. He did the right thing….. he also paid back the amount he claimed for decorating a rented apartment in London.
Just listening to QT – really struck by how all politicians, Ming, Theresa and Margaret Becket are struggling to deal with us the ‘howling rabble’ (Audience) – Parliament has just got to be disolved and we must have another election.
beckett is just lying lying lying.
I think Theresa May is looking remarkably relaxed and unruffled. Beckett has a rictus grin. I actually feel sorry for her. If a chugger comes to the door in the next 30 minutes collecting for the society for distressed hoons, I may actually contribute 50p.

Political corruption comes in many forms, some of which are reasonably harmless, most of which are highly damaging and potentially dangerous. Some however could have potentially apocalyptic, if not revolutionary consequences.
1. Al Fayed type political corruption. Not good
2. Enron type political corruption. Very Bad
3. Establishment type political corruption. Very bad, sad and potentially extremely lethal to just about everything a free man holds dear.
IMO It is NOT the MP’s who have done the corrupting, it is the establishment as represented by the civil-service that have corrupted our MP’s.
For there to be a corrupted, their must be a corrupter. The means and motives for which, must be independently investigated. The corrupter always needs to corrupt, more then the corrupted needs to be corrupted. Also the motives of the corrupter are usually more devious and valuable, then the motives of the corrupted.
MP’s were clearly given the GREEN light to rip-off just about anything they could get there dishonestly self interested heads around. The civil-service even gave then the names of consultants in order to help them fleece the system to the up most.
We do not want our MP’s to just take personal responsibility, we want them to be more frightened of us, the electorate and tax payers, then they are of there real employers, which are the establishment. We want them to SPILL the BEANS on the whole rotten whorehouse slightly more commonly known as The British Houses of Parliament.
This expenses system did not just happen by accident. It was carefully designed and drafted to have the precise effect it did in fact have. Which was to make a COMPROMISED crook out of virtually every MP’, by dangling temptation in front of them, and then getting their media/BBC to cover-it-all-up until the correct time.
We ALL know the media KNEW exactly what was going on, and so did all three WHIPS offices. So why now, and why at all?
We surly are not deluding ourselves that the internet has got anything to do with this, all by its little own self, or do we?
Now, if we could have around 20-30 serious convictions from both houses of parliament, followed closely by the entire EU parliament, commission, and council of ministers given life terms, along with confiscation of all property and investments. Then I might start getting a little excited.
Other then that, IMO this situation has already arrived at a farcical level, where it is difficult to see anything good coming from it. The system will simply find yet another way to grab our political representatives by the pussy or balls, and everything will be back to less then square one. With a slightly younger, less experienced, and therefore even more easily corrupted bunch of incompetent crooks APPARENTLY in charge of the country.
Apparently? Because as we all should know by now. It is the civil-service that in practice decides how government policy will be implemented. It is the establishment that controls the civil-service that decides what party policy will be and which Party and Party leader gets elected, and for how long. The establishment does not always get exactly its own way, or its timing correct, but it always gets where it very well planned to be, in the end.
It seems that the establishment are in a mighty hurry to get somewhere right know. Why, Why now, and why in such an urgent hurry? Is for them to know, and for us to speculate over.
By the way; is it more then possible that far from Gordons SPADS working for Gordon, or the Labour Party. Gordon Brown and therefore his Party are really working for Gordons SPADS. That also Gordons SPADS are really working for MI5?
Just asking. Although I personally believe, that McBride, Mandelson and others, are in fact agents of, or in very close contact with MI5.
But then, I am a simple minded, tin hat wearing, certifiably paranoid conspiracy nut case. So please do not start paying any serious attention to myself. I have a wife, a business, and five kids to think about.
Oh and BTW I never take long walks in the woods on my own, I don’t have a dicky heart that for no sensible reason should suddenly stop beating, and I would never even contemplate suicide, under any foreseeable consequences whatsoever.
Don’t stand next to a bulgarian with a brolly, though. Just in case.
I shall remember that. However they don’t do that sort of highly visible type thing with the likes of us. That sort of thing is for important people, to act as a warning to others in a position of power, JFK for example.
No, our sort just vanish into apparent thin air. Or get given very common types of mishaps. Usually an ‘accidental’ heart attack or road accident.
The way they used to deal with it in the past, was to simply drug the chap, then get him certified insane, then mess with the victims frontal lobes. Job done.
They still do something similar today. However the methods are now far more subtle, usually involving a combination of prescription drugs, and BBC TV.
Just remembered the Marconi deaths in the late 80′s. You’re not wrong. Check your brakes.
You should’ve taken a leaf out of our book, sir and released this post over several days.
Sorry, I will try not to let it happen again. Still it must have been a bit of run reading it, or not?
After all, it is best to laugh, otherwise it may become difficult to stop crying, reasonably soon. I give it about another 12-18 months before we start eating the shit that the fan has finally hit.
A perfectly excellent way to understand the establishment, were it wants us to go, how it plans to force us to go there, and what precisely it does not want us to know, under any circumstances, is to force yourself kicking and screaming to endure a few moments of BBC news and current affairs out put.
By studying were the BBC never go’s, and if it does, never asks the rightfully obvious questions. A person with even a highly limited IQ like myself, can quite easily predict with a 95% success rate virtually every single important political event well in advance of time, and especially how the BBC and the establishment will present it to us.
Do it enough and you feel like you could have written the BBC presenters script yourself more then a week before the event actually happened. It really is very EASY to do this, and getting easier everyday.
OMG Atlas !!!
I never believe anything I see or hear . The ONLY thing I believe in , in this world , is myself .
WTF should I trust or believe in any other ©unt ???
I hope that other people feel the same way .
E x .
I’d believe in conspiracy theories,but all conspiricies rely on everybody keeping their traps shut. In the real world everybody wants to shout from the rooftops (look at you)
It also assumes that those conspiring are masters of deception. Now the evidence is, that they are bumbling incompetents. So it seems they are either great actors or puppets of civil servants in the shadows. Do they know that we know that they know that we know that they know we know that we know that they……
You take it from here Donald R!
It is clear that you have absolutely no idea how these types of things actually work.
What a lot of empty seats in the Q.T. venue, guess they were a little clotted in the trouser depatment. Not enough crowd control to stop the lynching.
Probably due to the beebs usual mistake of confusing even handedness with equal representation. In this case they tried to ensure an equal amount of nu lab drones even if it meant having to substantially reduce the total audience number to achieve this. This is due to Labour having only around 20% of support amongst the population.
BREAKING NEWS
The Parliamentary Labour Party has just chartered several aircraft to take them out of the country…
Destination unknown…
It’s a handcart. Says ‘hell’ on the front.
Take them to Guantanamo Bay. Waterboard the fcuking lot of them.

Who cut the legs off Margaret Beckett’s chair?
pmsl. Margaret the midget.
She’s shrivelling like the wicked witch of the west.
Has she claimed for a caravan?
Why is Margaret Beckett wearing Andrew Neill’s syrup ??? He’s gonna need that in about three minutes.
LOL above.
Plant ALERT in the audience.
jezus – the bbc are really trying to swing the debate by planting questions.
Ginger teenager, and woman with glasses just before him? Or does the tinfoil in my hat need recharging?
I was distracted by a huge pair of spangly-garbed knockers behind a young bloke in the audience who commented a couple of times (and I’m a hetro female). Was she a plant, you reckon?
There were a lot of knockers in that audience, but those did stand out. Whoever she was she is to be congratulated for brightening up a dark programme. And she did not need all those sequins.
For a minute I thought the bloke in front had taken an inflatable neck pillow.
Dimbleby correcting Margaret Beckett’s flustering half-hearted dig about theft to Telegraph man – saying Mrs Beckett means “receiving stolen goods”. That’s not what she said. AlBeebera in action.
Yeah, don’t let the truth get in the way of a good sentence.
I don’t think the usual plants the pravda supplied tonight had a chance as the mood of the audience tonight was vengence time.
It almost restored faith in The British Public.
I think he meant “receiving swollen goods”
Lmao. Free speech ?
Yup. Don’t mention BuMP on here.
I like Ming, I think he is an honest guy who just got caught up… as for Beckett, why can’t her and her party just get fucked…
Election NOW !!
How can we force it ?
So we have
An ex minister who made a mistake years ago.
A current justice Minister who is probably the biggest fiddler in the house.
And the BBC website headlines the former and makes no mention of the current.
Nothing to do with their race and sex surely?
No, but everything to do with their RELIGION
Do not forget that I work, if you could call it that, at the BBC.
As a former MP and guest of Her Majesty at one of her more select homes,
may I suggest that the Right Honourable Members may wish to seek some
excellent advice from my book:
“A Prison Diary – Vol 1 – Hell on Earth”

” so few muslims in parliament and so many exposed as crooks” -
The truth is – those muslims, especially Malk and Uddn, who have been exposed as troughing, are LABOUR, and that might be the most important factor. Lets not forget the current Speaker’ s view is that he is there for what he can get.
These people, Martin and the Uddn family need to be regarded separately from their hardworking communities which they do not represent.
The Spitalfields Housing Association needs to rid itself of the Uddn curse
But to be fair 8/10 causes of postal fraud has been traced back to muslims.
There’ll be no fuckers left!
When that Clarkson chappie next drops a caravan from a great height…………………
“should the speaker resign” no response lets all give up & move to Bogota
Theresa May fielded it fairly well – then they ran out of time. Pity they didn’t get to Dame Beckett, as I would have liked to have heard the audience reaction.
Maybe Clarckson for P.M? And i do mean Jezza…
QT: Beckett achieved the impossible tonight by getting even uglier.
Years of practice
It was more of a bear pit tonight, with AlBeeb’s usual pravda plants shouted down by the howling mass of angry voters.
And no wonder they were angry, seeing Becket’s self satisfied, smug grin. Does this woman not know the meaning of humility?
Come the election, I hope this anger materialises into boots kicking arses.
Fcuk off back to Kircaldy, the lot of you. Go and annoy Alex Salmond.

I’ve just watched that bitch beckett on question time,, so far out of touch,, so arrogant,, so much lack of understanding or remorse. The only time she even flinched was when she was brutally reminded that the ballot box would ultimately decide her future.
That’s the defining feature I think. Every single Labour trougher has shown pure arrogance.
I watched BBC News yesterday and they had two MP’s wives on. One Tory and one Labour. The Tory one came out and said that they’d never claimed for anything because they didn’t believe it was right (or words to that effect). The Labour one came across as completely arrogant. “We’ve only ever claimed for a sofa and some shopping, but I think we should be able to claim for whatever we like as we deserve it” was the way she came across.
The simple fact is Labour = arrogance.
At least the Tories have the good grace to look sheepish about it
As tired of this scandal as everyone else is but expect there’s worse to come.
I just think this is so reminiscent of the Water Babies ”
Cameron – Doasyouwouldbedoneby
Gordon – Bedonebyasyoudid
The main thing I remember about that book was the island where economic conditions were so good that the people lay around all day waiting for roast suckling pigs to run into their mouths. When the roast pigs died out – so did they. I won’t labour the moral.
Are there many who are tired of this? I hope not.
Though I am surprised the Goodbye Gordon petition ran out of steam.
Worked for socialist ran organisations all my life; none of this surprises me.
We need compulsory voting and more referenda.
Got an email from Cameron’s office today after I vented my feelings about the expenses fiasco, at least they took the trouble to reply to me by name, thankfully no mention of the phrase ‘within the rules’
Cheer up nell , petal !!
It is rather drainin , ain’t it ??? This is as good as politics gets , though .
Clegg – Doesanyoneknowwhatwedo
E x .
What an ugly smug bitch!
Cheers Nick , honey

Ming Campbell had a new arsehole ripped for him tonight but at least he can sooth it by sitting on some nice cushions !
It’s hard work conquering the universe from within a south london flat.
You could piss on parliament from where Ming lives.
Or at least throw your bag.
What a ranting arrogant bitch Margie Beckett is. At least the audience barracked the loud-mouthed old boot.
Some Question Time tonight is hitting home,watching this week the politico’sare geting worried, GOOD.
Malik is getting reamed on Sky.
“If we don’t take the money, then tories get it to do up their estates…”
Fucking tosser.
Beeb has no mention of him..
What is happening in Burma and Thailand? That’s what’s important.
Yeah don’t let the Tories do up their estates you just use taxpayers money to buy more fertilzer for your mates Malik………………………
Oh fuck me Malik is saying that if he hasnt got the right to put a home cinema system on his expenses then it will result in only Tory Rich bastards sitting in Parliament.
BBC loves Muslims. Rumour has it male beeboids take pictures of bushy bearded Muslims to the toilets and wank off all over them.
Songs of Praise (To moHAMed)?
The one that stands up in parliament and demands that the filth interview every MP, under caution, and investigate every member for their actions with a view to confiscation and imprisonment for all wrongdoers, is the one who is on to the populist vote.
Malik’s being interviewed on skynews now.
He’s coming across as a right fucking twat.
Nothing quite like indignation in a northern accent.
Attack is not always the best defence, ‘Justice Minister & the Slumdog Landlord’, he will have go as the minority groups will be all over the news like a rash.
The one that stands up in parliament and demands that the filth interview every MP, under caution, and investigate every member for their actions with a view to confiscation and imprisonment for all wrongdoers, is the one who is on to the populist vote.
Malik is a tool.
No. A tool is useful.
True. He’s not even a Hunt as that is VERY useful
I’ve got two seats available for flight to sth asia tomorrow morning at 6 am.
Mr Malik Ms Uddin? Interested?
Malik £760 massage chair for “back problem”
Thats what we all use for incapacity benefit!
Bastard! He’s blown the scam.
The Mail has joined Taxpayers’ Alliance in a string ‘em up in court campaign:

Named targets are Morley, Jacquboots, McNulty, MacKay/Kirkbride and Blears so far. They’re calling for donations for private prosecutions if necessary.
what a tosser malick on sky right now
Interesting take on the voluntary payment of tax, saying there is no such thing and that MPs offering to pay anything back should be made to pay it all back.
http://www.taxtrust.net/journal/2009/5/14/hazel-blears-another-29183-please.html
Well, firstly, one would hope that a minister of state would be aware that the Inland Revenue has ceased to exist
Minister out of touch with the real world? Who could have seen that happen?
Next up, does she have a tax liability ? Our guess is not. The capital gains tax rules in question, which apply no differently to MPs than to any other UK resident or ordinarily resident individual taxpayer, are not difficult to satisfy and, quite rightly so given that the rules for exemption from tax were enacted by parliament as a relieving measure.
It is not up to Blears to decide whether she has a tax liability, nor to voluntarily offer payment of the same. It is up to the law to determine, and the voluntary payment of a “liability” is no more correct than the avoidance of a liability.
And as if a failure to acknowledge that fact was not bad enough when coming from a parliamentarian, Blears is also a qualified lawyer.
A qualified lawyer does not understand the law and a simple highwayman who did was put out of business by these uncaring wretches.
malick sky interview. wonder whom his constituants are
that malick thinks they will be ok with his troughing. he is well giving it,,, his main home is a rented flat £100 per week / from dodgy landlord.
… he has claimed full amount ‘which he is entitled too’ his words, for 3 years £66,000 plus for second home..what a bloody hoon, he bought a home cinema system £7000 because he was told there was no limit, but when he put in claim found fee’s office said there was a limit, so he only got £2000plus the fee’s officer that mis informed him re no limit was reprimanded. but according to malick his integrity is in tack and he has no fear regarding his job, and he will not pay any money back.
The full amount does come to £66 000 brcuase that it is what £100 real pounds translated into parliamentary pounds is.
they should of had malick on QT he might think differently.
drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip…
Guido, I really hope you’ll be keeping a close eye on all these payments that are supposedly being paid back. Do they actually get paid? Do the cheques bounce? Are payments to HMRC simply becoming a credit on someone’s self-assessment account that reduces the next bill by the same amount?
Please find out what happens to these payments and come back and tell us.
I wouldn’t let Barker get too near my ‘inner circle’ if I were Cameron

Having discovered sex in about 1963 the British discoverd money in circa 1980 and over the past 30/40 years have lost a sense of proportion in both areas.Gross sexual behaviour has been followed by crass materialism.For these and other reasons such as nonsensical education policies and trying to out-America the Americans British institutions have degenerated to become the laughing stock of Europe.
The time for wholesale reform is long past due and the only person with the authority left to do the job is your Queen. Parliament is a good place to start.It is obvious from watching your MPs perform that they will never be able to reform themselves.
Parliament should be dissolved immediately and those MPs found to have committed fraudulent or inappropriate acts should be banned from standing now and from ever holding public office again.
Other obviously rotten public institutions such as the BBC and many NGOs should be dealt with subsequently.
BLOODY RIGHT!
Paying back the money embezzled should only be taken into account in deciding a just prison sentence tariff, not as a reason for failing to prosecute. Why are the police service failing to act against the Westminster criminals? Whose side are they on?
If none of the Westminster swindlers are prosecuted, then we shall have the clearest proof yet that the New Labour claim that its ring-leaders are above the law has now been established as legal fact.
Automatic imprisonment for ALL MP’s who have stolen more than £10,000, and return to ONE LAW FOR ALL!
The prisons will be too full
…OF US RIOTERS!
