Ed & Yvette Triple Flipped
Essentially they nominated three different properties in two years to be their main residence. We paid for their million pound property portfolio. Plus a few of the usual “accidental” double claims. We also pay £600 every month for their food bills. Bear in mind these two troughers have a combined household income of some £300,000 from the taxpayer, yet they still feel we need to pay their Waitrose bills. Every little helps, eh?
Public service can be so so rewarding…

Roll on 1 July 2009 and second earnings disclosure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilse_Koch
The only reason labour are against 2nd earnings is because most left wing MPs are unemployable. Again, it’s more sour grapes and envy because the tories are a dam site more employable.
Traditionally, MPs have always had a career other than politics and that is the point – they should be like you and I. They move into politics as they are passionate about an issue or feel they have something to offer people.
It is nulabour who have tried to muddy the waters where 2nd jobs are concerned. Infact nulabour have muddied the waters in most aspects of public life and screwed the whole system.

If you don’t believe in transparency for Members of Parliament that’s up to you.
Some people think that employees should turn up at their place of work and work a reasonable number of hours at their place of work when they are there. If they want to earn money from other sources of course they should, but they should do it in their own time, not their employer’s time and not on their employer’s premises.
Are you against those simple principles?

Master Baiter – I never mentioned the word transparency so please stop spinning and putting words in my mouth.
I am totally against the expenses system and what has just happened and think the culprits should all resign – especially those actually governing at the moment. They are then ones who have trashed this country in 12 years.
However, holding a couple of directorships, aswell as being an MP shouldn’t be a problem. It never was until nulabour started bleating on about it because they felt it gave the tory mps an advantage (financially) over their own.
See what I mean? It’s pure envy!
Haw Haw?
If you’re referring to the low ditch intended to keep the deer in the park from straying into the garden, that’s a Ha Ha.
Haw Haw was a nazi propagandist.

False mortgage cost claims and 2nd home fraud – Elliot Morley
They are all at it aren’t they?
Master Baiter – whatever you say you are onto a loser.
The tories have NEVER caused the chaos and damage that labour cause EVERY time they are in power. This time they have almost totally destroyed the country – infact many argue that they already have!
Therefore, my conclusion is that whichever way the tories chose to do things, MUST be better for the country than the current bunch of incompetents. It took the tories 18 years to sort out labour’s mess last time – by 1997 we actually had a budget surplus! God knows how long it will take anyone to sort out the utter mess and carnage that nulabour have caused this time.
I repeat, the tories have NEVER caused the damage that nulabour have caused.
A MESSAGE FROM STANISLAV, A YOUNG POLISH PLUMBER
Great idea!
I’m happy to have a tinker with the pic and add a halo.
In the meantime here’s Mr & Mrs Embezzler!
Margy,
Don’t be so precious, nobody put words in your mouth. Nobody misrepresented what you wrote. The subject has been the transparent disclosure of MP’s allowances. From 1 July 2009 there will be transparent disclosure of MP’s other remuneration and the hours spent on obtaining that remuneration.
If you are against such transparency, fine, that’s your opinion.
Most people are in favour of such transparency and want to know what MPs do with the time they are paid to work for the country and their local constituents.
Are you opposed to them knowing that?
There is an impression that Conservatives are opposed to an attendance allowance system because it would mean they would have to attend, which requirment does not exist currently.
Separately
F
Regarding haw haw, you say ha ha, others say haw haw, both spellings are correct. The correct pronunciation is haw haw, therefore to help the many uninformed it is kinder to use the haw haw spelling. Which means a home score draw for you.

Master Baiter – I can’t communicate with you anymore as you talk absolute gibberish and do not have a clue about what is happening. I have tried to be reasonable but in typical left wing style, you throw it all back in my face.
Listening to your rants, it is clear to understand why the country is in such a mess.
Incidentally, it is pronounced Ha Ha and NOT haw haw.
Master Baiter – incidentally, an attendance allowance is the most ridiculous idea and is open to wide corruption. Why are you trying to defend the indefensible. If an MP cannot live on £64k a year, then they need a basic economics lesson -it’s pathetic.
You really don’t get it and should go and do some self educating.
Margy, its pointless trying to engage with MB. I think its because he’s a wanker.
Regarding ha ha or haw haw.
People seem to be very concerned about this point.
The correct pronunciation is haw haw.
However it depends also to some extent on the accent of the person saying it.
Which in a way is the original point, innit?
If it is all in the accent Master Baiter are you a Juan Kerr or a wanker?
Margy, Master Baiter is just that – a stroker of his flaccid member.
Ignore him – he is a dumb troll of the 1st water who couldn’t, like most leftist MP’s as you rightly suggest, find a non-party political employer at the minimum wage.
The politics of envy is alive and well. In Master Wanker’s case it extends (though not very far!), to his penis. If Master Wanker were an MP, he would be the Tiny Member.

You’re absolutely right! Her resemblance to the “Bitch of Buchenwald” is uncanny.

Tory MPs are more employable than Labourites only because of the old boy network. They don’t have any more skills. As for the non-executive directorships, they’re pure influence peddling. Nobody would be interested in them if they weren’t in Parliament.
A few more ‘explanations’ and ‘we could be hurting the country exposing its leaders foibles’ ‘scares’ are still getting trotted out.
If you are an honest, hard-working MP, then in all this you have nothing to fear and all to gain (though being part of a ‘party interest first’ system ruled by whips rather than constituent wishes will rather hinder you).
Otherwise being ignorant, especially of the law… IS NO BLOOMING EXCUSE!
I intend to revisit ‘The Fugitive’, especially when the ‘hero’ is confronted at the dam outlet and makes his case.
These troughers are anything but innocent, so it is all the more delicious to savour the reply of implacable law: ‘I DON’T CARE’. The next bit is fun in context, too.
According to “They Work for You” Ed ‘n Eva are claiming over £4 grand a year for the cost of ferrying their children around. This allowance for family travel seems to have been introduced about two years ago, and it looks as though each MP can claim up to just over £2k a year. If you exclude school holidays, this works out at around £20 per day, or the cost of a taxi to school and back, presumably. Not a lot you may think, until you remember that that’s quite a lot more than Adolf and Eva will get when they sign on for unemployment benefit.

I can quite clearly see the ‘tache on Mrs Bollox so no need to pencil one in, thanks!
Master Baiter clearly does not know the origin of the name Ha Ha for a ditch and embankment feature. These were placed in landscaped grounds as a method of controlling stock without using a fence which would have otherwise have disrupted the open vista.
I find MB’s explanation of an alternative pronunciation as “Haw Haw” a bluff. He is just trying to wriggle off the hook of his own ignorance by saying so and hoping nobody will contest his lack of knowledge.
Capability Brown (no relation to the monocular one) used them as did many landowners in their deer parks. The name derives from the fact that when walking in the parkland they would not be seen until one was almost upon it. The observer would then cry out in surprise “Ha Ha!” with the emphasis on the second syllable.

you have come to this place and are defending ed balls and yvette cooper.
so, by default, you are an aplogist for the new labour war and occupation project.
you are an apologist for both tony ‘the child killer’ blair who sent troops to their deaths to protect a lie, as well as for gordon’I underfundedthe army’ brown who refused to adequately fund our troops which directly led to the deaths of many honourable men.
you are scum.
oh and concerning ed balls and yvette cooper: they’re nothing more than a pair of thieving c’unts. there is not an honest bone in either of those thieves bodies.
If I were in charge they would be tap dancing from the end of a rope on pay-per-view.

Miserable shit, fuck off!
Master Baiter – yes, the second earnings revelations will embarrass members…and not just the Tories, many Lab MPs also have lucrative little sidelines. Could they possibly receive bungs disguised as expenses from their wealthy union paymasters?
On 2nd jobs, how come the PM has time to “write” a couple of books? How can any mimister combine their hectic an busy lifetsyles with the full-time job that thye claim a consituency MP does? What about the income many people get from other sources that real not “jobs” (eg Morley’s letting of his flat, Woodward’s income from the wife’s Sainsbury money, Milburn (or is it Byers?) being paid by that medical outfit, newspaper columns by Dennis McShane, Newspaper columns by Brown………….). How come “busy” MPs also have time off to spend at Party conferences, or to appear on HIGNFY, This Week? etc etc etc.
The whole 2nd job/2nd income thing is a red herring brought about by Brown trying to get some Tories into trouble, but like all Brown’s plans it will follow the law of unintended consequences and trip him and his brothers up more than anyone else. He simply doesn’t have a clue about anything.
Oh MB is utterly incapable of criticising anyone Labour. He’s been utterly brain washed, you see. He just ignores any attempt to get him to opine on Uddin, Moran, Blears…just won’t comment. This just shows him up as ridiculous. I’m a Tory supporter, but not a blindly loyal one. I think the tories who have been at it should be kicked out pronto. They’re a disgrace. But MB can’t say the same for the Labour troughers. He just won’t mention them. BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY DON’T EXIST YOU TOSSPOT, MB.
John Redwood covered the second job issue very well recently:

As you say, Labour will get bitten in the arse by this.
OooooH ! Were those books for reading, those G.Brown efforts ?? I used them for toilet paper.

Please pass on to us your estimation of Andrew MacKay MP Bracknell and his wife Julie Kirkbride in relation to their ‘additional costs allowance’. It would be interesting to hear what opprobrium, if any, you consider deserves to be heaped on to their sorry heads since it seems almost certain that they have misappropriated £141,000.

Sigh…Read the above. Sack ‘em I say. Now what do you say about Moran?
MB
All your diatribe does is illustrate the following:
Labour MP’s the only employment they can get, start of life by sucking off the public teat and continue to do so.
The second incomes are honest. The expenses troughing is dishonest.
P1 – you can’t seriously call Gordon Brown writing a couple of books a second job. First, he used crayons and second, he wrote them in the toilet on his tea break.
When I was young, almost all MPs had a ‘proper’ job and served in the HofC when they had already established a career. The elctorate then had more sense than to vote for youngsters with no track record in the real world (and no sense of tradtion). The advent of full time politicians is a relatively new thing – it started with the 60s generation (my own) like Straw and McShane. Parliament and our national life have been much the worse for it.
It’s probably no coincidence that the more full-time MPs have become, the less they have had to do. The executive (esp since Blair) has beocme all-powerful: most laws are introduced as statutory instruments etc, and not debated at all. We are lucky if policy and directives are even announced int he HofC before being posted in the press. Amazinglyh people still seem quite unaware that all mportant policy is made in Brussels – and most MPs shamefully declined to vote with the Ayes on the Cash bill to establish Parliament’s supremacy over EU law-making, thereby condining their own expulsion to a subordinate role on the sidelines.
This is why MPs have become glorified social workers – their time is necessarily largely spent on trivia, eg housing problems, which their local Councillor should be dealing with. Since they are powerless to pass laws in most areas due to EU poower-grabs, and clearly have no inclination to hold the executive to account, they are largely redundant. Personally I’d much prefer to see them paid less, commeasurate with their reduced responsibilities, and spend at least some of their time doing a job in the real world (not consultancies, quangoes and similar non-jobs).
The ‘reformed’ Lords has become just as bad, now it’s full of placemen. Before, among the hereditaries, you had many very ordinary people doing normal jobs, inc a serving police sargeant. Many titled families lost their money years ago – but lefties are too prejudiced to understand that.
New Girl.
Um, er, um, er … silence.
I’m only carrying out orders.
Well thats not worth working oneself up over is it? I was hoping Balls would be much worse.
Let’s hope the DT keeps digging.
So what?
If being a backbench MP is a full time job how come you can be a Cabinet Minister and an MP. Surely if you can combine the responsibility of being say Health Secretary and constituency MP you can combine Company Director and MP.
Of course the dark little secret is most backbench MPs do fuck all.
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies

Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

These two should write a book on the Special and General Theories of Benefit Scrounging. They really have gone into it much more thoroughly than the other troughers. They are Al Capone to a shoplifter.

I apologise for the disgraceful grammar in my original post above. I can only state in mitigation that I did my English O Level at a northern comprehensive during the time of the three-day week.
For those who felt it necessary to point out my errors I can only say, with utmost sincerity: f**k off pedants.
585 – Rexel, even with the three-day week, surely you were taught to write ‘O’ Level, and ‘Northern Comprehensive’?
Beware lest you antagonise The Pedants: you might be responsible for inflaming ‘The Pedants’ Revolt’.
446 – Sir William, you, of course, have a point: I should have said that ‘painted on’ stressed the act of painting, and the new image that that act would reveal; whereas ‘painted on to’ (definitely not that American horror ‘onto’ – how much longer is it going to take for them to learn our language?) would place the emphasis more on the palimpsestic nature of the enterprise, the perhaps startling newness of the result, its departure from its earlier, not to say original, intention and purpose.
This muckraking on Ed Balls just shows the Tories really are still the “Nasty Party”

We simply can’t grasp the complexities of parliamentary life and the day to day struggle the poor dears put themselves through on our behalf. Best to just get on with our humble little lives and let our betters get on with running the country for us.
She only grabbed £7,000 worth of gardening work (including £600 worth of hanging baskets – where does she live, Babylon?) and dumped the receipts at the Fees Office for them to sort out because she was too busy. Hence the misunderstanding you see.
It wasn’t because she is a arrogant, patronising, grasping old ratbag with a face like a horse.

My Dad was at school with a lad called Oswald Balls. The gales of laughter at register lifted the slates off the roof. (The teacher just read out the O for his first name, you understand).
Mr Malik’s arrangements relating to his constituency home will also raise questions as to whether a minister could be beholden to a businessman who offers him discounted rent. Mr Zaman lives next door to Mr Malik’s home in Dewsbury. Mr Zaman and Mr Malik also have a rental agreement relating to the constituency office in a nearby shopping parade. Mr Malik claims for the cost of renting his office from parliamentary office allowances.
isn’t he the racist one with a chip or two on both shoulders?
I don’t think Malik has realized yet that his ‘robust’ defence only makes him look a bigger pillock than he may in fact be.
no he just another thieving hoon
Yes, he’s the moron who believes that, allah willing, we’ll have an islamic cabinet by 2016.
I saw Malik on Sky News this morning. The arrogant bastard. Surely, when confronted by a journalist, the first rule should be to keep ones’ gob shut as they are always after a sensationalist story. But this arsehole went into rant mode. The Sky News anchorman just kept on paying out the rope and let Malik hang himself. I think Malik will be visiting the Dole office before long.
He is playing the race card. That is why he is being picked on. Nothing to do with the highest expenses claim of them all then?
I saw the interview and I saw Malik playing the racist card “I cannot understand why they are picking on me”. They are picking on you Malik because of your dodgy claims and because you look and sound like a fucking spiv you little arrogant shit.
I have a strong feeling that if the journo’s had a really GOOD look at shady Malik, they would find a whole more.
Does his landlord come from the same tribal homeland? Answer: more than likely. So more race cards being played and Jackson Straw’s well known policy of helping out these lad’s with their little visa problems comes under further scruitny?
Minister of Justice = thieving pathetic arsehole rip off merchant.
What is really pathetic with all of this apart from ripping us of and treating us like Peons is that the nature of these crimes is just so tawdry and not in the least bit sophisticated.
If this is in the nature of these greedy thieves to exploit a system for their own pecuniary advatage then it probably extends to many other areas of their lives (brown paper envelopes, etc) and I think that all these MP’s found to be milking the system should be suspended immediately while a full enquiry into their finances is carried out.
If nothing else it would serve as a timely reminder that they are not above the law and to be an MP in the eyes of the General Public is a position of Authority and Trust.
We should then take them out one at a time and give the thieving bastards a good kicking!
I agree that Vince has once again shown us what being an MP really stands for in the manner he runs his affairs. A example which puts to shame all of these troughing lowlifes.
Are you perhaps implying that Mr Malik pays an artifically low rent (that he can’t claim) on his house, but an artificially high rate (that he recharges to us) on his office?
Never mind Balls and Yvette.
Find the biggest perpetrators.
How did Blair & his grasping odious wench get his 6 houses worth, what was it, £13m?
What kind of troughing was employed for that scam?
What was the form of Lobbying – a-la-Truscott – and who was the paymaster?
At last, someone has mentioned the architect of all this corruption and sleaze – President Elect of the EUSSR, a certain Mr T Blair, the smirking chancer who corrupted our democracy with carrot-stick banana republic tactics that rewarded “on-message” compliant MPs with preference, cushty jobs in Brussels and in the bastardised House of Lords. MPs who dared to challenge him and his henchmen – the Campbell-Mandelson-Brown axis of evil were stranded into a nasty political no man’s land.
The rest of us were browbeaten by an insidious intellectual gulag – a vicious political corectness – that has protected the wrondoers – MPs, criminals, terrorists, dodgy peers etc and crushed the spirit of the nation – perplexed by 6 laws a week and the decline of national pride. And all of this whilst the smirking chancer lines his pockets like Melmotte in the Way We Live Now.
Well put Reaper. The national decline is the true scandal all down to Blair.
fao Grim Reaper. Absolutely 100% spot on. In my experience the ethos and morals of any organisation flow down from the top. And that top was Blair/Campbell/Mandleson. It is particularly galling to me that a man who was TWICE removed from high office on the grounds of questionable behaviour was then given one of the greatest troughing posts in the world, that of an EU Commissioner. Labour has 22% in the latest polls. How, in the name of all that is holy, can 22% of the electorate STILL believe in this shower of socialist shite? A great monument to “education, education, education……..”
Don’t forget BLIAR’s own henchmen – or one in particalur. LORD-it-over-us PHILIP GOULD, architect of the NuLab project, and LOBBYING consultant for the company whose ambition is to control the supply of food and petrol – THE BIG T.
Could this be where SAINT ANTONY and SISTER CHERIE are reaping their treasures for promises restored ?
Why is the BIG T allowed to start their own Banking Operation?
Bank-rolling the future politico elites I suspect.
Time for a new troughing experience.
I can help with the puzzle of how 22% say they will still vote labour, because I’m one of them. Then at the polls when I don’t, I can ask them how they like being lied to.
Arthur stop being a twat – Margaret rescued us last time from a Labour disaster – trouble is we haven’t another Margaret to rescue us this time
No, no. Its started in America. But we are best placed in the EUSSR to emerge from this galactic upturn in Socialist Sleaze.
That 22% would be the Troughers and their depedants.

Look up his remortgaging a house for hundreds of thousands he’d already paid off so he could get the taxpayer to pay the interest. he and his wife make the rest look positively frugal.
Look no further than the Bush & Saudi Royal families and the oil price that the Iraq invasion sent hurtling skywards!

Mmmm “Cash for Cardinals”
I agree Blair would make the best bang at the end of the DT story. Yates would love it.
If I were a jury member with Balls I would convict him of fraud. He misled the expenses office. Pure and simple.
Hey Ed I hear you’ll be serving up the salad to all the boys once your inside. Yvette will be popular with the femmes on the inside. You can write a book about your time inside …

Went to mow a meadow.
spot, a bottle of pop, old mother Riley and her cow, she milked it ’til she didn’t know how….see 23 below
Balls trussed.
There doesn’t seem much in this story. Essentially they designated their main home as their second home so they could claim the mortgage interest. Bad, but no different from loads of other MPs.
The charge of “flipping” doesn’t really stick. One of times was when they moved.
The totals they claimed were only a bit over what a single MP could claim. Not at all the revelation we were expecting.
Thank you for your input Ed and Yvette. Let’s leave the judgement of guilt or otherwise to the trusty Court of Public Opinion though.
I agree. Over reacting to their cases weakens the attack on the real thieves.
I despise Ed Balls for his lying and craven betrayal of his subordinates and would never vote Labour in a thousand years but he seems to be pretty straight on this.
OTOH – I wonder who was behind the leaking of the documents before they could be ‘prepared’ for public consumption. Who stands to benefit?
Alan Johnson would be my bet
it was me husband not me . . . worked a treat though !
straight? saying yorskshire main home when kids school in London? Straight as a nine bob note.
Not so sure.
“each submitted two monthly claims for mortgage interest of nearly £1,300.
At the time, their mortgage statements showed the interest-only element of their mortgage stood at £733. Officials also warned them that they had submitted the same claim, for the month of July 2006, twice.”
If this was a ‘mistake’ how come they both made exactly the same mistake twice?
290, yes. And they’ve both had Treasury posts. So either they’re incompetent or troughers. Either way, neither should have Treasury briefs with the UK finances in such a dire state.
Sadly not as damning as MacKay and his missus. Unless the rumours of an injunction were true and some other shit has been succesfully supressed.
Just bog-standard ‘flipping’ to designate your more expensive residence as your secondary residence and have the tax-payer pay for it.
Mr Malik’s arrangements relating to his constituency home will also raise questions as to whether a minister could be beholden to a businessman who offers him discounted rent.
He’s my spiritual brovver innit? Leave us alone unless you want a fa*twa too.
Brilliant Fisk of Shahid Malik statement:
http://cassiuswrites.blogspot.com/2009/05/fisking-shahid-malik.html
Million Percent Malik is trying to shore up his core vote by playing the victim card here – with his subtle hints of ‘Islamophobia’ on the part of the Telegraph
I wonder what [Islamic] ‘Charity’ he’ll be donating the 70″ home cinema set up to – I bet those Jihad dvd’s look stunning in full HD
Shahid Malik has ALWAYS played the race card…
Just go back to the Race Riots in Burnley in 2001; he got involved where he wasn’t needed and nearly incited a full scale uprising. As a result of this he got a bit bloody from the local police… He then went to the press and claimed all sorts of brutality. The photos of him that the press got just after he’d been hit with a police baton are wonderful examples of what sticking your nose where its not wanted will get you!
Hoon of the highest order for many many years…
(Nb- should also be mentioned that the local Labour Party agreed to a women only shortlist to select a candidate for the 2005 election in order to ensure that Malik COULDN’T become the candidate! Shows how highly the local people in burnley rate him…even though his dad has been a Labour councillor for about 20 years!!!!)
Well it certainly wont be going to the local synagogue thats for sure.
205
All in the family isn’t it, in this case the extended and much broader family with roots in the Peshwar hills. No one think it hasn’t been a coming for decades.
Malik told an enthusiastic M*oslem audience recently parliament would, “inshallah”, see a majority of M*oslem MPs on the benches by 2016.
Bliar, Snotty and their bretheren welcome it.
Let the church bells peel before its too late.
Hopefully it will be the park benches with the rest of the troughing Labour party.
I’m no scholar in these matters, but I understand that the Islamic concept of ‘maisir’ refers to ‘easy money’ and includes exploitation of the rules as well as gambling and theft.
These two fellas make me sick…
Who the fuck do they think they are?
Somewhere, in Westminster, there’s a copule of lamposts with signs on:
“Reserved for Mr Balls”
“Reserved for Mr Cooper”
These two fellas make me sick…
One with a hoon, and one with a dick…
This pair are surely suitable for double waterboarding?
During the earlier part of the 18th Century, complete shits like Balls and Cooper would have been sewn into sacks and thrown into the Thames to drown! How as a nation have we allowed such wonderful traditions to vanish?
pollution laws I’m afraid shit like them would pollute the waterways.
Ed looks nice in that picture, you know a bit like Hitler.
He is starting to look like Gordo, he has been around him so long, same jowls, same grumpy look.
Things can only get better !!!
Be careful for what you wish for
That picture is a gem, it shows them for the greedy dishonest two faced pair of bastards they are, who wants to be a millionaire?
The nasty look on the face of Balls is typical of a common thief caught out yet angry with those who caught him out, these scamming shits deserve to be hounded to the ends of the earth, I cannot wait for the picture of them at the next general election, I long to see the look of defeat on those ugly faces, please lord… please let me stay alive just for that!!!
Hear, hear.
To the tower with them and off with their heads I say.
Come on Lillibet you can do it.
These ignoble vermin should be hanged drawn and quartered rather than beheaded.
Cassandra
spot on. That look is just like the looks of the accused as they arrive at court for their hearing. Only thing missing is the 2 finger slaute but hey ‘so what’
Day in and day out thug scum bastards swagger into court and come out laughing and sniggering!
The criminals play the system, its rigged in their favour, the ordinary law abiding person is fucked up the arse by the system while the criminals are pampered by it.
The venom on Ballsup’s face!
Thats not venom thats the remains of a pork pie.
have they put in a double claim for the pork pie
Great isn’t it?
That’s the face of a man who knows that his dreams of becoming PM have just sunk
without trace.
LOL…helplessly!!!!
REXEL56 You beat me to it (+:
The Hoon was probably on his way to the bunker
Balls- That face, forget any worries about B np that face and the man’s way of life would be more at home with the NSDAP love the hair seig heil!
Can that picture be the next caption comeptition
Question Time last night had the audience heckling! Not seen that much anger before. As expected only a few relics were wheeled out on the prog – don’t know whether the politicians don’t want to face the public or it was the fact it came from Grimsby. Probably both.
Even the BBC method of audience rigging couldnt shield the sanctimonious bastards from the public rage.
It speaks volumes of the widespread hatred bearing down on the westminster bastards when even the BBCs tried and tested audience manipulation fails!
Hugely enjoyable programme. For once the audience wasn’t stuffed with huge numbers of dark-skinned people.
Are you sure it failed?
It is a very rare event indeed where what happens on the BBC is ever a mistake.
Perhaps this one was an exemption that proved the rule, but somehow I doubt it.
Scumbag Malik on BBC News 24 bleats again that “Why am I being picked on”. Of course it’s because he’s a Muslim isn’t it? Not because he’s been shafting the fucking tax payer like a good Little spiv Socialist.
I also notice that the BBC were starting to read out more made up emails saying that the Telegraph has an agenda and that why are they picking on Labour MPs only.
Funny that when it was the Tories getting battered the BBC didn’t mutter a word of complaint.
Also, Malik only referred to Tory expense claims. “Moats and Tennis courts” he whimpered. No it was fixing a pipe under a tennis court and cleaning a moat. Both wrong, both repaid. Malik is refusing to accept he did anything wrong.
Fucking Socialist Huhnes, they seem to despise ANYONE who has money except themselves.
I what happens to people who are caught with their fingers in the till under Sharia Law?
The way Labour MPs shout down anyone speaking is beginning to irk me – particularly when they do so to spout the same old line that they’ve trotted out previously, ad nauseum.
nauseam
Education, education, education…
Thanks mum.

HEIL BALLS

HEIL BALLS
At last the most poisonous couple in public life have been revealed for what they are – a pair of skilful liars who have been able to fool some of the people some of the time and one person in particular all of the time. Poor old dumb susceptible Gordie has been completely taken in by these two con artists for years.The wee man is so impressed by anything vaguely connected with the Kennedys that a couple of months at Harvard is enough to dazzle a little provincial Scot completely out of his depth.
These two should certainly be chopped and prevented from ever reentering public life.
Missed!
Who’s left on your target list?
I see Malik has just been speaking on Sky news – apparently he cannot understand why he has been picked out on this matter over 500 other MP’s – is he suggesting the Telegraph prejudiced against his Colour.
Heavens no Malik if Colour is the problem it is the Colour of (Y)our money
Am I allowed to say I don’t like Muslims?
Within reason of course – only if they try to claim special privileges as for example scumbag fucking Malik.
Of course you are. Am I allowed to say that I know a lot of Muslims who are charming, kind and peaceloving people?
Yes but the Liebour Stasi are now on the way to take you to the education camp.
Of course you can, it just makes you look like a bit of an idiot.
Why is the BBC homepage leading on Short and Malik when Mr and Mrs Ed Bollocks have been doing much worse?
Ooh…..let me see. Could it be that they take their orders from Downing Street?
Whatever happened to the Wintertons over their devious little scam… http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7461032.stm
You naughty man Guido – you’ve even flipped their picture!
Anyone with photoshop – put a small rectangular moustache on Balls, and see if it reminds you of anyone…

Brilliant fits to a tee.
Winston, the resemblance is uncanny
Under close examination, it appeared that the moustache had originally been REMOVED!

I have often admired your balls
A fine pair
Dont let this get to you
And remember, I still have the photo
Do you have my eye ball as well?
Ach ja mein Fuhrer!
I guess you would believe that neither the BBC nor Sky is reporting this at all.
Does any one know why that would be? Have they set the dogs on Malik so that Balls and Cooper can make a swift get away?
It’s been announced today that home repossessions are up 50% in a year. What are the greedy, selfish MPs doing about that? Sod all.
When is Mrs. Dolly going on maternity leave from GMTV?
Better change your call name Porky or Mr Malik will think you don’t like the Religion of Peace
Ah bless, that will be 3 fatwas for you and two hand choppings for de udder, ( if she can be found)
[...] “We paid for their million pound property portfolio” says Guido. [...]
How the fuck have these Huhnes got off so lightly today?! Clare Short isn’t even in the Government anymore and to be fair came over quite well on 5Live last night. We all know that Balls is up to his eyeballs in shit so surely it’s time to go for the jugular!
The Carotid is better, although deeper in the flesh the pressure means the blood will squirt much further.
I’ve just read Kevin mc Guires piece in a paper I would’nt touch with a tarry pole.
Is he for real?
” It’s all Thatchers fault” How can anyone say that?
Just HOW long is it since she was in power?
Just HOW long does it take to fix something like this?
I liked the mcDonalds man on QT last night , he seemed to be part of the real world and could fix these expenses for the poor .unintelligent MPs in one fell swoop.
Yeah, I read that piece. Can we say once and for all Thatcher was a long time ago. DONT blame her!!
Can we not stand on our two feet and take responsibility for OUR times.
Re-invest in the car industry, put Red Robbo in charge. Reopen the mines and put Arthur Scargill in charge.
Scrap computers and go back to letterpress, put the National Graphical Association in charge.
We have had a Labour Government for 12 years, time enough to sort this out, time enough to give kids back their milk and give the Falklands to Argentina.
Or we could do away with containers and let dockers “manhandle” cargoes that would have to be oversupplied to allow for “damage” and “handling losses”. Doesn’t matter if the ship is alongside for four days instead of twelve hours. The boys would have a job and they could pass ther tally on to their sons.
It is ALL Mrrs. Thatchers fault.
Bit of prejudice, access to a keyboard this stuf fjust writes itself.
Remember kids it was all Mrs Thatchers fault.
Benjamin, you should learn to love Mrs T. After all, you owe your career to her – could you imagine your stand up routines in the early days without Maggie’s existence.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you chum!
Where are all those cutting edge leftie comedians?
OK, let’s for arguments sake, accept it really is all Thatchers fault. Why haven’t the fixed it yet? They’ve had more than a fucking DECADE to do so. Were they too busy fiddling expenses to fix the damage Thatcher did? Or were they just so incompetent they couldn’t achieve a fix?
It is Mrs Thatcher’s fault that they are too incompetent to fix it.
Not that this government featuring the salt of the Earth working class people, like me, is doing anything wrong!
I love the way the banner advert I can see directly above the pic of the odious two keeps flashing: “Foie Gras delivered to your door”
…what’s a banner advert then?
I’ve changed my mind about Malik. He says he is honest and straight. I believe him, which means the others are all bent, so we are all fucked then
How naive you are Fife
Explain his association with a crooked landlord and his need for us to pay for his massage chair please
Crooked?
He’s my spiritual guide and brovver innit , you want Lord Ahmed to call?
Has n’t his Lordship had his mobile phone confiscated for texting whilst driving ?????
I believe him too. I must send him a pot of my new face cream that is going to make me look like a 20 year old supermodel, and my winning prize letter from Readers’ Digest, to help him out financially.
The story here is not flipping per se but the designation of the £650,000 as their second home and whether this represented the best value for the taxpayer.
Unfortunately, John Lyons roused himself long enough to exonerate them on this one and declared that they were not out to make a profit because they paid capital gains tax. Well, f**k me – if I pay tax on a profit it makes the bit that I keep all above board does it?; a sort of state-sponsored protection racket (except the state are paying the protection fees too!).
The simple question is: how can the Balls mansion in London be a second home and the Five Bellies broom cupboard be a first home?? Both simply cannot be right.
The moat cleaning and the plasma TVs are the mother of all distraction compared the scandle of the property portfolios built up since 1997.
Come on Guido, get the Hoon dossier published and nake it the first of many.
The Balls case isn’t as heinous as Mackay-Kirkbride choosing different main residences (spouses can’t do this for CGT purposes) but it is as clear an example as any of how the Green Book enables free tax-exempt finance to turn capital profits, which are also free and tax-exempt.
The Ballses may nominate the plush mansion in Highgate (or wherever) as the second home for the purpose of ACA. The Green Book entitles them to claim the mortgage interest as an expense and the reclaim is exempt from tax.
They can also nominate it as their main residence for CGT and make a tax-free capital profit on eventual sale. The nominations for each purpose are in practice completely independent. Finance is free. Profit is free.
The legislation limits the exemption for second home (“overnight”) expenses to what is “necessarily” incurred for the performance of Parliamentary duties – not “exclusively” as it must be for the rest of us proles to get an exemption for reimbursed expenses. The ACA therefore allows a dual purpose such as buying a house mainly on account of its schools catchment area which just happens to be conveniently close to Westminster. The test is as weak as piss and the scope for profiteering is effectively limitless.
PS: Rexel – Regretably, they can both be right. The MP can nominate either the London or consituency home as second home for the purpose of “overnight” expenses: section 292(2) ITEPA 2003, link below.
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2003/ukpga_20030001_en_1
Spot on Rexel 56.
From June 08 (I know it’s the Daily Mail but….it appears to confirm reported ‘facts’)
“By switching to designating the London property as their second home, they qualified for up to £44,000 a year to subsidise a £438,000 mortgage.
The Commons ‘Green Book’ which sets out the rules on MPs’ allowances states: ‘If you have more than one home, your main home will normally be the one where you spend more nights than any other.’
The pair’s three children go to school in London, and they spent weeknights in the capital.”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1029410/Ed-Balls-Yvette-Cooper-face-sleaze-watchdog-probe-using-expenses-pay-mortgage.html
Their London home is, imo of course, their 1st home as this sentence is the clincher for me:
“THE PAIR’S THREE CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL IN LONDON AND THEY SPEND WEEKNIGHTS IN THE CAPITAL.”
If the Ballsez were advised to do the flipping then the ‘adviser’ and whoever has approved all of the skullduggery throughout the parties is as guilty as the one’s waving cheques in retrospect.
It’s all just so disgusting – but what’s the REAL agenda behind this psychological warfare being perpetrated upon us to discredit our so called “parliamentary representatives”? It’s quite possibly a trap set for them that they gladly walked into…..damn – that’s another conspiracy “theory”…
Wasn’t it handy that the rules on Ministers having to designate their London home as their main residence were changed in 2004.
It was Thatcher’s fault
Would you like chutney with that?

I think Malik’s behavior, if he gives some generous donations to local
Islamic“community” charities could actually win him some brownie points locallyWhat really gets my fucking goat (and grips my shit at the same time) is when a criminal calls in the “Racism” card when caught red handed. The same goes for gender and disability, if you’re a fucking criminal you should pay the price please don’t add insult to injury by vilifying the law abiders with cries of discrimination. I am a white (yes white) heterosexual (no I’m not a turd burglar) male (not transsexual, neutral gender or indeed female). I am also non-disabled nor do I subscribe to transvestitism, Satanism or any other ism that’d highlight me as being different. To date my criminal convictions consist of a single parking ticket which I paid without question and on time. As an after thought I am also loosely classified as being a member of the church of England although I avoid any sort of participation in organised religion out of personal preference. If there’s any victim here it’s me and those people like me, and I really don’t care if they tick any of the above boxes, the important thing is that they are the honest law abiding citizens being treated like fucking idiots by the parliamentary gravy train currently carrying so many of our elected elite (obviously Mandy hopped on uninvited and I don’t remember a vote for Gordon to don the mantle of PM).
No eata, that’s two strokes of the sword, a bit unfair old chap, just get one of those nice little Japanese chapies to administer the punishment and make it the one stroke, lop of his ——g head.

More than a passing resemblence to Adolf and Eva Braun!
Why so glum?…proves money doesn’t buy happiness especially when its the taxpayers.

So much for National Socialism.
Balls?
Got to be Piers Fletcher-Dervish off the new statesman – resemblance is uncanny.
Brown as B’stard?
Fuck. This is bad, but I was hoping it was going to be a lot worse. Some of this was known anyway – its even on Wikipedia.
I get the feeling: The Telegraph is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Unless they’ve got one more treat for us on Sunday?
Malik is the bottom of the barrel in all senses.
Playing the race card is a fucking gem; it just goes to show how unsuitable this man is of having anything to do with government and especially justice. Criminals are criminals regardless of ethnicity or religious beliefs and anyone who calls on discrimination as a defence is morally fucking putrid. Not only did he have the gall to swindle the tax payer for his home entertainment system(etc) but also to charge us for his court summons for non-paying of council tax; that’s just fucking insulting and shows contempt for honesty and decency.
248
Yes we should not forget Malik is the JUSTICE minister in this shabby excuse for government.
Liebour, you couldn’t make it up (but they do).
How can you swidle all that money and not find £50 to get yourself a decent fucking haircut? You know, something that doesn’t make him look like a kiddie diddler with person hygiene problems.
lol – god that hurt my sides – cracker
Shahid Malik is a disgrace – charging us £66,827 for his London house while paying less than £100 for his digs in Dewsbury to a convicted slum landlord. Of course, he’s big mates with this Islamist landlord so there’s no chance of Malik trying to get a fair deal for his constituents.
But the jaw-dropping item in the DT’s coverage is when he complained about the Fees Office not reimbursing him for the £2,600 for his new telly by appealing for ‘natural justice’. The thieving toe-rag.
Of course, Brown won’t sack the grasping little oik because, according to NuLabour, all Muslims are victims and can’t, therefore, also be guilty of anything.
What really gets my fucking goat (and grips my shit at the same time) is when a criminal calls in the “Racism” card when caught red handed.

Malik knows he can get away with it because his constituents are of his ilk. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he came away with a larger majority at the next General Election.
Just re-watched his interview mash-up here
Cleverly playing to his local crowd, he repeatedly refers to the MP’s Green Books as “The Bible”
“The Green Book, our Bible”, “I’ve gone by the Bible”
His Dewsbury core vote is Muslim, so claiming he, as a Muslim, went by the bible, is effectively saying “All I was doing was following their rules, which dont mean anything to me, but Ive not done anything wrong in the eyes of our system
311
Under Sharia should he be excommunicated for mentioning Bibles?
The Koran comes in green covers. His message is subliminal, and very much holier than thou.
The Green Book is my Koran.
Yes indeed, he may well increase his majority, as his dead constituents won’t have read the Daily Telegraph for obvious reasons, and his live constituents will have read that it’s all Maggie’s fault, in the Daily Mirror. I wonder how many of his votes come from uninhabited slum dwellings with fictitious tenants. (Of course the answer to this is none, m’lud).
The smug greedy thieving bastatrds won’t be smiling when they are on the DOLE in a few months time.
No fukka is going to elect these koonts. !
HANG EM !

I don’t mind admitting, I think Yvette Cooper is a very, very, VERY sexy woman.
I’d do her poop-shoot
Chute?
Would you like chutney with that?
Fuck off! I’m there first.
SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS!!
ZIP. That’s me done. Just like a taxpayer – I’m all spent.
Tread carefully. She has balls you know.
Why aren’t the righteous ‘Tax Payers Alliance’ calling on the police to investigate and charge Ann Winterton MP, Congleton, Conservative and her husband Nicholas Winterton, Macclesfield, Conservative with fraud. They claimed for rent on a house with no mortgage that they owned themselves through a tax dodging trust?
In short the state paid their rent on a house they already owned.
Could it be becasue they are Conservatives?
Regarding transparency, who funds the ‘Tax Payers Alliance’?
Is it the Conservative Treasurer/Donor and tax exile/cheat, Lord Ashcroft?
Disssth-picable
Do calm down dear and enjoy your next single handed five knuckle shuffle. Does big Jaqui do it for you then, nudge nudge wink wink say no more.
MB – no, it isn’t. But what you say about the Wintertons is vairry-eenterestink. I wish I’d thought of it. Fortunately, Lady Waad is domiciled in Brazil, so we’ve never had to bother about this ‘tax’ thingy.
I think you forgot to answer Margy’s question on Moran and Malik. Why don’t you do that first.
Dear Master Baiter,
Damn your eyes sir! Please get your facts straight before making such false claims about me. I am in fact a tax evader who lied to gain a peerage.
I demand a correction. My lawyers will be in contact first thing Monday morning.
Yours sincerely etc.

There they blow me hearties a pair of triple flipper whales, harpoons at the ready..
At first glance I thought the photo as a still from Downfall.
it is a still from downfall
Me too, she’s the spitting image of Der Fuhrer, hein?
I think you will find thatcher started it.
Comparing Brown to an arsehole is being very impolite to an arsehole.
Trying to be positive, I have a suggestion to solve the two major problems our country is currently suffering – the debt and the cause, our honourable members.
Pay per view at c £5 per head per execution of an MPs. It’s something the entire country would pay to enjoy.
£5 x 646 x c 50 million = debt cleared with fair and reasonable punishment for the offenders.
Throw in a few errant bankers and the House of Lords and we all get a few no-tax years.
Priceless
Wonderful!
A friend of mine in the military told me how they can fall foul of “The spirit of the mission”, were they can be up on a charge if they do something that is considered, “excessive and not in the spirit of requirements in completing a mission”… How come that cannot be applied to our honourable members is beyond reason. Especially as these poor souls are doing their bidding for a dubious cause.
Agree – check out the Green Book and you’ll find something very similar which dies not seem to be quoted enough when these bastards are questioned (see comments in the last topic)
and it’s Balls’. Bugger.
Balls looks like he’s putting on weight, doesn’t he? Although if he’s getting through £600 worth of food every month, I guess that shouldn’t be too surprising.
Only £600 a month for food – that’s bloody starvation rations. If Balls is going to keep Yvette filled-in and happy, so that she doesn’t need my personal services too often, he will need a lot of energy and that doesn’t come cheap! Pay up and fucking shut up you fucking cheapskate bastards!
Another scotch on the rocks, steward – and make that in a straight bucket.
That’s our cash padding his shirt out, no room left under the mattress.
Whilst enjoying the local news (a story about a poor puppy dog with a poorly leg) I was rudely interrupted by a party election broadcast (Nu Liebour). Had I not know better I would have sworn that they’d ran out of ideas; the entire five minute slot was filled with actors claiming to be either unemployed/suffering from cancer/elderly and dependant on free bus travel and TV Licensing ruing the future under David Cameron. Not once was there mention of anything positive or even a vision of the future under labour nor was there mention of a plan to bring us forth from the pit of the “downturn”. It all revolved around making somewhat wild claims about how much worse the world would be under David Cameron. It did insinuate that under the current regime jobseekers are given the best possible chances of re-employment through the various retraining schemes (the statistics tend to disagree) but apart from that it was all a personal attack on DC. I felt slightly sad that the leadership have resorted to puerile name calling. It’s like watching a elderly relative slowly dieing but hanging on to the last; a not particularly well liked relative at that, the ancient aunt who always troughed the last after eight at Christmas and never gave presents to the kids.
Zombie living dead fuckers – dangerous fuckers.
It was rather embarrassing to witness. The death throws of a diseased and decaying regime. With ratings plummeting and nothing new to add to their already failed government the only thing apparently left to do was issue a childish assault on the hot challenger for the seat of PM.
so begins the process of a free and fair election, do not be surprised with the results. Remember Glenrothes,
Just look at their miserable double chinned faces filled full of tax payer funded nosh.
It’s obscene.
And what about the Justice Minister, the horribly arrogant Mr Malik who thinks it is normal for the taxpayer to buy him a home cinema for ₤2600. He also tried to charge for an i pod!!!!!
His interview with Sky this morning was pathetic. He’s scum.
Yes, his SKY interview was a window into his soul.
…and he’s Justice Minister, truely scum.
Look mugs and poor people, I’ve been acting for these two at Hazel’s request and I can assure readers that everything that they have claimed was within my admittedly rather liberal interpretation of the rules. This wonderful pair of selfless public servants have changed to cheaper brands of champagne and nibbles since all this fuss about such essential expenses and allowances was stirred up by the gutter press, at least that’s what I’ll be saying to the Revenue on their behalf, for my usual not inconsiderable, but fully reclaimable, “essential expense” of a fee of course! Incidentally, I often wonderd why Yvette calls herself “Cooper” when she’s claiming all the benefits of being married to Ed, but on reflection, I guess that it’s obvious when you think about it!
Hazel Blears has the sort of face I could slap all evening and never get bored.
Isn’t it now time for the Queen to dissolve this government?
You Sucker.
Has anyone got an acid bath that’s big enough ?
Over 12,000 homes repossessed in the last three months.
Balls triple flips at tax payers expense and we pay for his food, and rakes in the gold and hard cash.
Fuck sake. Where is the justice? This country is totally fucked up.
‘Where’s the Justice’
Shahid Malik = Justice Minister
I received an interesting reply from the Metropolitan Police this morning:
Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for your email. It has been forwarded to our department that is investigating this matter.
Regards
Email Desk
Metropolitan Police
So is there an investigation going on?
Shahid Malik defends his claims for massage chair etc (YouTube): Justice Minister Shahid Malik on his expenses
don’t think so Bob……. my reply was in a similar vain. Don’t tell the public anything “for obvious reasons”
Unless the major politicians including the Speaker get on board for an investigation the Commissioner, Sir Bottle it when confronted by politians, will delay and avoid.
Which is why the Tax payers Alliance will do us a service if a few private prosecutions result. trouble with that is that the expense of a prosecution will mean that not all MP’s will face it. In fact many will evade it entirely
Just need the first few trougher cases to fly and watch out for the rush.
Where are the no win-no fee lawyers when you need one?
This has got to be more fun than ambulance chasing
unbelievable…words fail me about Malik. The bar is set so low to achieve public office in this country, we are truly fucked. He’s thick, conniving, self pitying….Far from the only one, of course, but FFS! Him, Blears, Balls, Moran, Uddin…. etc etc. Its horrific. If it had been written as a drama on telly, you would consider it OTT and too far-fetched. Its so depressing. If any one this lot (Lab and Tory) who have been taking the piss survive the GE then frankly we deserve what we get.
Followed link to report our honourable members to S.F.O. Ticked all the right criteria boxes on commiting a serious fraud ie – large ammount – complexiety of fraud- large numbers affected etc ,etc That was Sunday pm. Monday am. email back from S.F.O,” sorry for dissapointing judment but we see no need to investigate, blah blah blah” (even sent copy to Guido) un-bloody-believable… But he ho worth a try.
Dear Bob,
That email reply is a “fuck off and don’t bother us anymore” response. Don’t let it rest there, write back and ask them which department is investigating and the name of a contact officer for future enquiries.
Regards.
The Mayor of Middlebro has written to the Met demanding an investigation into the frauds. As an exChief Constable perhaps he will have more luck
Triple Flip Triple scum.
Another pair in the mould of that slimy git Hain.
Incidentally, think I saw him the other day serving burgers at the Fleet M3 services, only noticed because there was some argument at the counter with a pensioner over the lack onions in the bun. I think the Burger Chain belongs to Gummer.
Shame his style consultant didn’t notice the unfortunate hair moment !
Could be a case of ‘Its The Mail What Won It’ – some of these hoons are going down, with that degree of momentum building …
That doesnt seem very juicy. They’ve had a lot of taxpayers money, but havent “maxed out”
Also: I can’t count the three flips.
Oh I get what you did – nicked the DT photo and ‘triple flipped’ it
Fucking despicable vermin.
No doubt the national treasure ms Cooper will use her standard mindless mantra if questioned why she is a troughing wretch:
‘It was the right thing to do’
Guido, I know you want to sell adverts and whatnot, but please tell the truth. You should at least try and retain an air of credibility.
And how long have you been calling yourself “anonymous” Mr Balls?
Retain an air of credibility?
If the government does not have to why should an ordinary citizen?
it looks like the telegraph did balls a big favour. i would love to hear why they did not put balls into the big first hit on the cabinet. by leaving him to know people are bored (of course still angry) but suffering from expenses fatigue and longer really looking at the details but the big picture.
basically balls has landed under the radar with the shit still hitting and sticking to earlier targets.
lucky lucky boy.
I see it is back to your thieving bastard is worse than our thieving bastard.
Malik says he will ‘sleep easy’ at night.
Is there a betting pool for this?
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/MPs-Expenses-Shahid-Malik-And-Clare-Short-Caught-Up-In-Scandal-Daily-Telegraph-Revelations/Article/200905215282232?lpos=Politics_Carousel_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15282232_MPs_Expenses:_Shahid_Malik_And_Clare_Short_Caught_Up_In_Scandal,_Daily_Telegraph_Revelations
Did he claim for a water bed?
He DID claim for a leather day sofa!
I hope Malik is proud of himself.
The excuses trotted out (gettit?) are just ludicrous.
“You’ll find that I claimed the same amount as other MP’s” (Err, that’ll be the maximum then?)
“I asked the fees office as to what the maximum allowance was” (So I could get the most I could)
“I’m the first MP to live in Dewsbury for years” (Err, do you actually live there? You spend £67 grand on your London pad over three years, and £15 grand on your Dewsbury RENTED property)
Claiming his council tax court summons (And Limpet Oprik) – not only have you put the taxpayer to an expense in terms of the civil service chasing you for the money, you then use taxpayers money to pay your portion of those costs.
What is a “million percent”? You claim 100% of the allowance 10,000 times?
This attitude of “entitlement” (I don’t care if its morally dubious, everyone else is getting it, so why can’t I?) is typical of NuLab and it is WRONG WRONG WRONG.
And how dare you spin it that you will “donate” what you claimed on the TV to your choice of “worthy causes” ergo bribing your electorate? If you want to donate your private money, then that’s your business, don’t pretend you’re holier than thou.
There are worse than him, of that there is no doubt, but don’t use that as a deflection for your own time at the trough.
Well done Malik, you’ve just given a load more votes to the bigoted parties.
Last and not least, a minister for justice receiving a court summons???
Is the Conservative MP for Harwich and in 2007/8 who claimed £23,083 ‘additional costs allowance’ which is joint 1st and the maximum.
His pet interest is immigration with an emphasis on colour having asked in Parliament of the Secretary of State for Justice how many immigration appeals were (a) received from and (b) granted in relation to people from (i) India, (ii) Pakistan and (iii) Nigeria in each of the last six years.
The Secretary of State for Justice is Shahid Malik MP.
Better than a court minister receiving a justice summons!
Isn’t Malik the first black or Asian MP to be probed by the DT? So it’s fascinating to hear him already playing the race card on BBC this morning, warning them against repeating the Telegraph’s claims. Also not a dickie about Ed and Yvette’s triple flipping, but then they’re untouchable aren’t they. Dickiebird
Of course he’s playing the race card. As a society we have been conditioned into believing that anyone who accuses someone from an ethnic minority of doing anything wrong is a racist. Remember that you don’t have to intend to be racist. All that is necessary is that the person from the ethnic minority believes that you’re racist.
So hypothetically, you could be a scumbag troughing minister in a Labour Government but you have every right to throw around charges of racism against anyone who accuses you of doing anything wrong. And accusations of racism trump any suggestions of fraud and corruption on your part.
Paul J- absolutely spot on. This goes back to the Macpherson report which defined racism as ‘anything which is perceived to be racist’. So we got the slippery concepts of ‘institutional’ and ‘unwitting’ racism which have infected all areas of public life. This is is the world of Alice in Wonderland – the notion that anything which is perceived to be a a fact, makes it a fact.
?sounds a bit like the Labour government really
Oh Joy !!
Not as headline grabbing as the other announcements, but we surely now know that this man will NEVER be chancellor, let alone Prime Minister.
Although he become Home Secretary. And his wife may be Second Home Secretary.
Sorry. I will get my coat…
So we’re not going to find out about Blair’s expenses because they were “accidentally” shredded before he left Downing Street.
Seems a bit strange. Why were the expenses held there and not in the fees office? Surely Blair’s office would have kept copies of what was submitted? Are we seriously expected to believe that every single bit of paper related to his expenses in his time in Downing Street “accidentally” ended up in the shredder. How convenient
This guy could have taught Nixon some lessons.
convenient for the lying scumbag isn’t it. of course the speaker helped by insisting mps expemses before 2005 were shredded. wonder how many shopping trips of his wife he was covering up. bastards.
boulay – more to the point Geoff Hoon appears to have gotten away lightly – he hasn’t paid a dime back to the ‘Taxpayer Telethon’..
I’m just throwing this out there to see if anyone is interested.
Im thinking of setting up an Yvette Cooper Indecent Proposal Raffle. A ticket will cost you a fiver and given the number of readers here I’d be hoping to raise £250,000. This money would be offered to the Balls for a night of fun with Yvette. Assuming they agree (and with that sort of money on the table they are unlikely to refuse) the winner would be drawn from a bin on an agreed date. There would obviously be independent observers to make sure everything was above board.
We could offer Ed as an alternative were the winner to turn out to be a heterosexual woman or a gayer but I suspect there isn’t going to be a lot of uptake on that one. It takes all sorts I suppose.
Please note that this would apply to the Balls only. No other cabinet minister would be offered as an alternative prize and no cash payment would be available.
You’re too fucking late – I’m already filling her in and she wouldn’t want anyone else after me! Pass the pies and a pint of that Dom Perrysummat wil yer?
Make it Margaret Beckett and you’re on.
Alright, we’ll have a Margaret Beckett Pity Shag Whipround afterwards.
Five bellies please, that sweet kebab.
This isn’t a request service. If you want to organise your own raffle then feel free. I suspect you wouldn’t need much. She looks the 50p and a bunch of grapes type.
Good Idea. I’ve always wondered how a tosser like Ed Balls-up managed to get Yvette Coopers legs open. Admittedly she’s as crooked as the rest of the westminster briagade but i’m prepared to overlook that matter if she gives out like a £10 crackwhore.
cf. David Mellor.
IRB : OMG, has Mellor had an affair with Yvette Cooper?
No, it was more about semi attractive women being attracted to startlingly ugly tramp’s mates like Balls and Mellor.
I have been trying to think who Balls reminds me of. I have narrowed it down to Dutch Schultz, the notorious New York gangster and Thomas Cromwell, Henry the Eighth’s hatchet man. Both of these fell as sharply as they had risen.
It was more obvious before he shaved off the little moustache. He is a ringer for Adolphus.
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/tycalibre/triple_flippers.gif
creepy. a reincarnation? he’s even styling his hair the same way. maybe he has a fake moustache for the bedroom. gordon probably has a secret fetish for that.
Don’t forget, historically Castleford HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF LONDON!!!!! This is our last FINANCIAL DEMAND IN EUROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this some cunning plan to auto-destruct by putting fuckers like me and Margaret Beckett on the news channels this morning?
I mean I know I am a straight million per cent guy, but there is only so much of this bullshit the public can take.
Ronnie Biggs got thirty years for one robbery
I wonder what odds I could get on not one of these crooks getting even one day in jail between them?
Not good odds I suspect.
The difference is that Ronny Biggs crimes only killed one person indirectly. Gordon and his band of thugs, have killed literally thousands indirectly, and the real dieing has not even started in earnest yet.
Society would be better off with a thousand Ronny Biggs then one single rotten and corrupt government.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to work out over the last 10 years how many new sets of up to date body armor could have been purchased for our boys, from just the amount of hard cash the present cabinet has grafted from the system?
Or , for example how many extra lives the NHS could have prolonged or saved with a few extra million.
Or how much better say 650 hard working tax payers lives could have been, if they could have all of the taxes back that they have had forced out of their pockets, for the whole of their lives.
Then present the facts to them on QT, and then see how well they all worm out of that little one.
Well, they’re “200″ quid down from what Ming was claiming in food bill.
Is anyone going to report any good news from our troughing MPs?
Although I’m really enjoying the week’s constant array of bad news from the Westminister troughing.
I imagine they wake up every morning asking the question: “Who has been caught troughing today?”
http://www.plenty2say.com
The testicular pair are the most unlovely political couple in a very competitive field.They are the troughers ti tutti troughers but have been cleared by “energetic” Sir John Lyon.They should be pilloried but are able to claim the “within the rules” defence while the rest of us lokk on in rage.I bet they continue their claims
Lyons rolled over and accpeted the Balls’ ridiculous claim that they really live in Yorkshire, buit just pass through Lonon for a few days in the week. How can this be? If their children go to school in London and they are both Ministers they must be there for most of the time. Just becuase they say have lunch in Yorkshire on a Sunday they seem to be able to slide through the reality check. They should be ashamed of their personal venality and stop treating the elctorate as idiots. It would not be so bad if either of them was any good at their job or had an ounce of self-awareness when lecturuinbg the rest of us on our lives.
Anyone know where their house in Yorkshire is?
Mr Malik is so precious he is shurely worth every penny and is merely a victim of more Islamo-phobia?
Islam O’Phobia – I didn’t realise he is Irish.
What really gets my fucking goat (and grips my shit at the same time) is when a criminal calls in the “Racism” card when caught red handed. He’s not the victim, If there’s any victim here it’s me and those people like me, and I really don’t care from what lifestyle, race or religion the herald, the important thing is that they are the honest law abiding citizens being treated like fucking idiots by the parliamentary gravy train currently carrying so many of our elected elite (obviously Mandy hopped on uninvited and I don’t remember a vote for Gordon to don the mantle of PM).
Perhaps he’s a Shi ite?
Or maybe with all that bent dosh he’s Sunni? (side up)
BUT you mustn’t call him a PIG -that’s racist AND islamophobic!
I see that fattest of pigs Margaret Moran is up to it again. This time charging the tax payer to pay for her legal battles. This nasty & greedy woman should resign immediately. She should show some integrity and backbone. I don’t think many of us have forgotten her pathetic excuses the other weekend for running 2 (of her 4) houses on the tax payer.
“If I am to carry out my duties as an MP correctly, I must be allowed to carry out a full and meaningful relationship with my partner in Southamton”….or words to that effect. The woman’s lost it and lives in another world.
She’s just another jumped up nobody who looks more like an overweight pub landlady than a politician.
Can we have some educated, presentable MPs standing at the next GE please, rather than all these ‘dumbed down’ chippy, social climbing nobodies?

Luton Town Fc got 30 points deduction over financial irregularities. Shame MPs are not under the auspices of FA.
When are the police going to arrest those responsible at the ‘fee paying’ office and who were giving such ‘advice’ (if they did)?.
They should be before the courts NOW for instigating, aiding and abetting gross fraud.
The case is crystal clear.
OOPS! forgot who is the minister!! of justice!!
Wot a stitch up.
The police can kill innocent citizens on the streets of London, right in the full public glare, and waltz away laughing with no consequence. What do you think the outcome on an “investigation” to their paymasters fiddling is going to be?
particularly when you’ve got sraw, smith and malik in the justice and home office departments!
Name’s Malik that is Malik as in Minister of Justice and I issue f*atwas on Fridays
Isn’t it time the political betting web sites opened a book on the number of MPs who will end up on the Police DNA database ?
And before anyone asks, ‘Lauging’ is street slang combining ‘gouging’ and ‘laughing’. Honest.
I want to see little eddie destroyed beyond any hope of redemption.
This won’t do it. I hope there’s much more.

My wife always gives me a kiss before during and after FUCKING me.
Time for prayers
Gordon Brown is my shepherd I shall not work
He leadeth me beside the still factories
He restoreth my faith in the Conservative Party
He guideth me in the path of unemployment
Yea, though I wait for dole, I own the banks that refuseth me
Brwon annointed my income with taxes
My expenses runneth over my income
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me for all the days of his term
From henceforth we will live all the days of our lives in a rented home from an overseas landlord
Amen
or
I am glad I am English
I am glad I am free
But I wish I were a dog
And Brown was a tree.
Fuck the Balls they can wait for another day.
The shock of the moment is that the JUSTICE minister fror Great Britain spends his days either in his massage chair watching his luxury home cinema or studying the Green Bible whilst listening to his ipod. All at the taxpayer’s expense of course.
Some “Justice” that.
What if the rules were changed so that there was no second home allowance?
No-one forces you to become an MP.
I think all candidates should live in their constituency and the property designated as their primary residence carrying zero taxpayer support.
The government could buy and furnish crash pads in London for out of Greater London MP’s use.
If any of them don’t like this arrangement – suggest they get another job.
After all, how many people who are obliged by their company to spend 2, sometimes 3 and very, very occasionally 4 nights away in London for about 6 months per annum actually subsidise their employees buying and furnishing a second home?
Quite.
Real World reality check needed.
MPs could simply be given a basic nightly rate equal to Travelodge prices for however many nights they stay in the captial. If they want to stay somewhere nicer they pay from their own salary.
Alternatively a basic level of rent. No mortgage interest – we shouldn’t be enabling MPs to build property empires on expenses.
Retrospective legislation needed. Make them repay ALL their excess claims. Also give them NO payments at all for the rest of this parliament. Fine those who don’t turn up and work. Commissioner for Parliamentary Standards should be able to dismiss any MP who isn’t up to scratch, and force immediate by elections, and fine the party which put up a sub-standard MP. Brown should be fined and flogged for each dud minister he appoints. Re-appointments of crooks like Blunkett and Mandelson should result in serious torture.
If Elliot Morley was the ‘Huhne’ in SHuhnehorpe what is it that Ed sees in Yvette? Balls is not the answer.
Oh the RT Hon Balls is far worse than that.Let’s not forget how he go where he is.
1. Gordon’s gopher at the Treasury.
2. Parachuted into safe Labour seat
3. £50K severance payment (all within the rules) for leaving the Treasury
4. Unresolved questions about certain sums (£94K) possibly received from a charity (Guido has the details elsewhere o this site)
5. On record as ‘misleading’ parliament over the SATS fiasco -the Speaker has not got round to dealing with this yet.
Hardly a glowing CV is it and not worth £20 a week in my book.
We have reached a sad point where brown- nosing,clueless,talent-free,lying,thieving,smart-arsed,lazy,electorate-shafting,could not find my own backside with a map and torch, grab every photo-opportunity,I know best, tossers are running the country.
The tragicomedy is that Balls and Cooper are the talented ones, at least in conventional terms and even if their talent sounds only in their academic prowess in fraudulent social theory.
Once you dredge down beyond the so-called bright young things you unearth cyclopian freaks of prehistoric life such as Phil “Woolly” Woolas and Tony McNulty, who could not go three rounds with a revolving door (or in McNulty’s case, a revolvin’ door).
*claps*
Just a thought re Yvette “its the right thing to do” Cooper has she appeared on QT at any does anybody know, if not, why not? surely, it would be the right thing to do, she should be answering the questions the public need answersing.
Shes a high flyer Im sure she can stand the heat.
The pinheadded ugly bitch
She’s basically Eva Braun.
It is strange how much Balls is looking like a cross version of hitler though.
I think we should be careful about linking a brutal dictator who has been linked to all sorts of atrocities against humanity with hitler.
Where are market forces?
There are hundreds who are queuing up to become MPs and at a fraction of the price and who couldn’t possibly do a more rotten job.
If we are going to get incompetent greedy liars running our country lets go for the cheapest.
Many people, including me, could live and eat well enough for two years on just one year’s MP’s salary.
I could make it last ten years, but I already have my mortgage paid off – the stupid way, working 48 hours a week, not going away on holiday, etc
Malik is playing the race card. Ben Bradshaw is playing the ‘homophobe’ card (see below). Will Clare Short play the ‘sexist’ card? Or Hogg play the ‘anti-toff’ card? Morley and Opik have the busted flush cards.

That just isn’t “triple flipping”.
What sort of bloody maths skills did you need to work in the city?
If you want to shock me, tell me what happened to the 2nd house. Was it rented out?
Stunned!
GuidOaf will be most upset with you. Neither mathematics nor logic are GuidOaf’s strong suits, so he probably can’t even understand your point.
By the way GuidOaf never worked in the City, that’s spin too. He’s always been in ad sales, when he’s been in anything.
What, are you Guido’s official biographer when you’re not desperately trying to rebel against mummy and daddy by supporting the labour party then MB?
He’s obsessed with Guido. Spends more time here than any of us. Poor lamb.
Maybe if someone asks Guido really nicely, he’ll send MB a signed photo. Or even better, a poster to put on his wall next to the Che Guavara one it’s more than likely he has above his bed.
MB just asking, what public school did you go to ?
Oi, we’re not all bad us – it’s just that morons like MB give us a bad name.
I went to a public school, every body went there!
Guidos not on trial here, its MP’s, unless youre just visiting earth this week moron.
It doesn’t matter how good (doubtful) or bad he is, the prime minister of

You should hear what the French say about Vladimir Putin. Behind his back obviously – he’s got nukes.
Queston time was a pitiful attempt to show contrition whilst still blaming the rules and the ‘culture’ of allowances.
What is beginning to really piss me of is the bash the ‘far right’ formula’. Menzies Campbell said that he abhored everything they stood for – WTF – EVERYTHING! Like England, Scotland and Wales remaining populated and controlled by their native peoples, British jobs for British workers, controlled immigration, accountable parliament, utilities put back in state ownership, etc, etc.
Utterly contemptible ignorance and arrogance.
Native peoples?
How do you define that, based on roman occupation, saxon, viking, norman?
Most of england (as pointed out to vile little hitlers everywhere) has mixed ancestory.
The b np is generally comprised of low intelligence people who feel the need for a scapegoat in to their own personal failings, generally people who are unable or unwilling to grasp that they themselves are probably the most odius component to our country, one which I would be quite happy to see sailing off in the sunset to build their big white future on a fucking island somewhere (hopefully with an active volcano on it).
The far right represent stupidity, that’s why they’re marginalised except by stupid people.
That’s far too simplistic but a typical perspective of politicos who haven’t got a basic grasp of history. Mass immigration, particularly in a country where there are large numbers of economically inactive (we have one of the highest figures for that in Europe and have for some time), will cause tension particularly if people do want to work, can’t get their kids into schools, and pregnant women are turned away from hospitals. All these things are facts, not that elitest government spinners, completely removed from the realities of the world, will ever admit to it. You can repeat the lie, but people go by their experiences not by what discredited politicians claim.
There has never been immigration on this scale. Yet to point out that there will be social consequences causes idiots simplistically brand others racists or stupid – pushing them to identify with the BNP. The PC nonsense is also fuelling the alienation that many British people are feeling.
If politicians don’t start listening instead of preeching ‘everythings great even if you dont’t see it’ rubbish, the BNP will do far better than the elite imagine – as well as their equivalents are doing throughout Europe.
bnp is left wing as is all authritarian thought.
learn to politixs.
Arguing against a cap in migrant workers is absolutely within mainstream politics, in fact it’s been in the news far more than it as an issue warrants.
Not to mention economic benefits.
I think the problem is that people believe that immigration is a larger problem than it actually is, that is part of xenophobia, an irrational perception.
The fact that immigration has dominated so many tabloids for so many years means that it is something people have begun to “imagine” as being the causes of their own problems, without ever considering the reliance of so many of our national institutions on migrant workers.
The b np is essentially a party that exists as a political institution in a thinly veiled manner, they are basically nazis – they have members who have been recorded numerous times making pro-nazi statements.
Hitler got in to power for many reasons – one of which was the ability to explain the woes of pre-war germany as being in a large part, the result of jews. The B NP do exactly the same with “immigration”.
If the B NP had never demonstrated such a prediliction for open race hate, bigotry, or nazi sympathy, I would accept your argument, as it is, I can only look at current supporters of these people as the complete composite cretins that they are.
It’s nothing to do with class or elitsm, it’s simply the fact that I refuse to believe people should be ignorant and stupid enough in the 21st century of a party that under the surface is so blatantly emulating the fucking Nazis.
Thank goodness for mass immigration. Without the skills of electricians and welders from Somalia and Ethiopia, as examples, the country would really be in an economic mess.
On the troughers, the ‘triple flip’ of Ed and Yvette reminds me of ice skating where the couple’s endeavours are judged on ‘technical merit’ and ‘artistic impression’. The troughing skills of our politicians are surely worthy of similar judging?
It looks like neither claim for a decent hairdresser.
I say blinky,
don’t you look scary!
NOT!!
Thieves the pair of you.
So much to cover so little time! Hats off to MATT his cartoons throughout this scandalfest have been brilliant and to assist, I’ve set up a twitter hashtag #mpscandal.
Is it too much to hope the final edition will include a one broadsheet recap page like an index showing name of MP (and number of times flipped) consituency, marginal or safe seat and the amount of money paid out for ACA since elected.
This would be very handy to pin next to the front door when they come on the stump, I can find out how much has been trousered or stuffed in the M&S G cup, adding questions to the little list I am now compiling.
I would be very peased if Parliament is dissolved forthwith, and we go to the country (so to speak) ASAP.
I would also suggest you look up the whining self serving local radio interview given by the Peterborough MP (Kings Cross by express train 46 minutes) as to why he needs a palatial London bachelor pad (wink! wink!) for midweek use leaving family baggage safely parked [isolated] in Peterbrough (we basically paid for it and for his swimming pool).
guido – a while back you mentioned mps making extra cash by renting property to their taxpayer-funded staff. what about people like Elliot Morley renting to other mps while also getting the allowance. nice little earner.
main point is that i bet he and the other crooks (including family members a la smith) haven’t paid income tax on this revenue. might be time to alert tax authorities.
someone who seems to be getting an easy ride is the crooked creep blair who remortgaged to get the taxpayer to pay the interest effectively on a new property. if this greedy madmen ever becomes eu president we are doomed, doomed.
So what?
This is very small beer indeed.
We at the BBC are grateful to pay taxes to fund the lifestyle of Yvette & Ed – & you plebs would too if you only understood politics & their enormous contribution..
Still nothing on the BBC website about all the Balls? What’s going on?
11.25 Shahid Malik has just stepped down. As for EB and YC: look in the BBC listings of all the expenses of all the MPs and add it up for yourself. Not on their front news page, I agree… but likely we are just waiting for the other shoe to drop… Unless what Guido’s picture shows is just balls… which I doubt…
But why? He’s as straight as a die. He said so this morning……:-)
Well at least there is my contribution that I posted on Nick robinsons so called blog. So it is on a bbc site becasue I put it there.
Like I said every thing comes to he who waits, not just root and branch refrom of Parliament but that cosy left wing BBC, scrumptious. Lokking forward to seeing their faces when the’re all nobbled!
If he just wore pink socks then …. .
Someone flipped the picture?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5325590/Ed-Balls-and-Yvette-Cooper-flipped-homes-three-times-MPs-expenses.html
Just look at them. Two poisonous, arrogant sanctimonious shits of the first order. On the basis that the Tories aren’t ever going to win Labour rotten-boroughs like Pontefract (Cooper) and Normanton (Ballsup), wouldn’t this be two instances where they might leave the field clear for the Lib Dems? I know it isn’t the convention to do this (except in the case of Martin Bell/Neil Hamilton) but wouldn’t it be nice to see this deeply unpleasant couple slumming it at the Jobcentre next year?
Surely they would have too many assets to qualify for the dole? Can they have spent it all so quickly – though they are troughers of course.
Guido pleeeeeeease draw a cheeky Hitler moustache in

Definitely spawn of Adolph.
Why do people spell it “Adolph”? He didn’t.
What a shifty swine he looks in that photo.
Do the food bills of £600 per month for this porcine pair relate to the food consumed in their second home (wherever it was that month) ? Does this mean that they eat more food in their main home (spending more time there, naturally) so that their food bills are £600 + (say) £700 per month.
That must be right musn’t it?
In that event, how dare the Labour Party tell us what to eat and stick those ghastly adverts on TV all the time.
Sod that, I’ll supersize this one Ms Cooper.
The receipts should show where the food was purchased, so there’s scope for this claim to be for the wrong home.
Who paid for their kids food?
No one could reasonably spend that much a month.
Anyone seen a exwaitrose discount outlet near eithe of their homes??
Food bills are one of the biggest items of monthly expenditure for our family, why the feck should I pay extra taxes towards these two troughers to get help with their food bills when we have to struggle to juggle our income to stretch towards other items like clothing, fuel etc.
As for Goebbels Mick, shouldn’t he be made to pay back all the legal fees etc incurred by the House of Commies in trying to block the publication of the fiddling etc? As a lesson to all future imbumbents, sorry – imbumblers.
LOL the BBC has just had to apologise for showing pictures of Sadik Khan
when reporting Sadik Malik. Fortunately they did not go quite so far as to say they all look the same.
But they do!
As a gentleman who is good with colours I usually like to see balls exposed. But, urghhh, not slimy ones . . .
Gott in Himmel!!
Vot is ze great-grandson ov die Fuhrer doing in zat picture vis dat masculine looking frau?
Time the schwinehund showed some respect to his lineage and grew a moustache!!
They both look like they eat too many pies per month. Cut their pie allowance I say.
Are you blind sir? Mrs Balls would not look out of place in a Biafran refugee camp.
Yes she would, she’s white.
There’s a telling vid’ on youtube showing Malik ‘preaching’ to the faithful and showing what are distubingly something like his true colours with regard to his own aspirations and those of Islam for Britain.
Frightening stuff.
Duly blogged – hope someone reads it
I actually used the word “shits” on my blog, and I try to stay away from such language…
BUT THESE FUCKERS HAVE TO GO!
Malik walks….Give the TV back you Huhne!!
But but but he’s done nothing wrong. Why would he go if he’s done nothing wrong? Perhaps it is a Peter Hain style need to devote all my time to clearing my name routine.
That sword and shield is going to be worn out soon.
“The thirst for blood from some of the media is unstoppable…”
Just wait till Count Joe-Vlad Publica senses there’s a drink to be had matey! I’ve watched this bugger brown nose his way into post, so it’s nice to see it brown trouser out of it.
And the massage chair! Oh sorry, he needs it for his job as an MP -probably to treat his ego.
Ed Balls looks like a BNP candidate for the Euro Elections
I watched QT last night. The politicians on the panel looked lost in their new surroundings of voter disgust.
Until now, if supporters of the opposite team had been “nasty” to a politician, their own supporters would still be there for them. Their own side’s support has now vanished.
All politicians are considered beneath contempt by all of the electorate (78% anyway). Ming Campbell, who by parliamentary standards, would be termed mainly harmless, was booed. Margaret Beckett’s fixed sneer and Theresa May’s look of fear showed people in a situation they found uncomfortable and threatening.
When Sir Menzies Campbell tried to counterattack the audience by claiming MP’s expenses were less important than the war in Afghanistan, it seemed like a traditional political diversion tactic and was treated as such.
David Cameron has not responded sufficiently to appease the electorate. A few MP’s repaying a little of what has been looted and a demotion are equivalent to the little Dutch boy using his thumb to stop the leak in the Mohne dam that was caused by 617 squadron. Insignificant is a major overestimation.
Gordon Brown falls far below those lamentable standards. New adjectives will need to be invented to describe the timeliness and effectiveness of his response.
Politicians still do not understand the magnitude of distrust they have created. A scene from Excalibur, where, when the sword is broken, Merlin tells Aurthur that “you have broken the un-breakable” comes close to what the current crop of MPs have achieved. I did not think that I would see a time where Ming Campbell, an elder statesman if there was one, would be treated with such lack of respect.
God help them for they know not what they have done.
I enjoyed Question Time.
Margaret Beckett photoshopped on http://www.aaaaargh.wordpress.com
Yes, but Dimbleby is soooooooo careful not to ruffle the establishment’s feathers. He got quite flustered when the normally suitably servile audience started heckling m beckett. He was quite worried the audience would not be able to hear
the answer to the question! What a toady he is – been at it for years. Let the people speak! They’ve been muzzled for too long! To solve some of the
present excruciating problems we will all have to speak up and be counted, otherwise we’re going to have the same corruption all over again! Let the people speak!
Damien McBride must be gutted
He looks like Sooty compared with some

Why no mention yet of the criminal couple on the BBC or SKY?
Malik has stepped down
They normally just fall through the hole when you pull the lever…
Your misguided and unwarranted attacks on Mr and Mrs Ed Balls are an outrageous invasion of their privacy . Imagine if they were rude enough to be interested in what you had for your breakfast, who would be the first to burst into print in a righteous frenzy.
And all of this over a piffling £ 300 a month per skull on the silly taxpayer. Unlike you, the great unwashed have no interest in Mr and Mrs Balls private dining arrangements .
Buy me DINNER , and I will drivel on up to and including nauseam.
Why have Balls and Cooper not already been taken into custody?
Something is rotten in the Metropolitan Police Service.
Its because will all share a common purpose.
“a common plan or purpose” – Nuremberg Principles 1950
I gave them my word they would be safe, and I have more than enough dirt on that nasty little backstabber Stephenson (as well as many other high ranking officers who are potential future commissioners) to ensure they will remain so long after you ghastly little proles have got bored of this storm in a teacup and gone back to obsessing over who the latest celeb was to get out of a car without any knickers on.
VOTE LABOUR
As Ed and Yvette would say: Let’s tuck in !
Am I being unfair in suggesting that ALL MP’s main places of residence should be within their constituency? Their families can live there, and then their second homes can be simple little one bedroom flats, to be either rented (or handed back to the state if they are bought) when they get voted out. In situations such as that of the Balls family, one or the other constituency would do.
Surely if you claim to represent your constituents, you should live among them – in fact I’d go further and say that it wouldn’t hurt to actually be from, or have lived in for several years, the area you represent. There are far too many London Borough of Islington dwelling hoons who have no interest in their constituents, and see them as nothing more than a ticket in to the HoC.
Absolutely. And give them government-owned flats to sleep in in Westminster.
quite why our MP needs to have a second home when everyone else commutes is beyond me. Sure if he’s rich enough to be able to buy a place in town good luck to him; but i object to having to pay for it.
Malik ‘stepping down’ over expenses
Shahid Malik is stepping down as a Justice Minister pending the outcome of an urgent investigation into claims that he paid only a subsidised rent on one of his homes.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has asked his independent adviser on ministerial interests, Sir Philip Mawer, to investigate the claims as quickly as possible and his report could come within days.
Mr Brown’s spokesman stressed the expectation would be that Mr Malik would return to office if he is cleared and said no replacement is being appointed in the meantime.
Sir Philip could report back within days.
Mr Brown’s spokesman said: “There have been accusations made in the past 24 hours against Shahid Malik, in particular that he received preferential rent on his main residence.
“Because that allegation would represent a potential financial benefit and that potential and alleged financial benefit was not declared as part of his ministerial declaration, this could represent a breach of the ministerial code.
“In line with the procedures of the ministerial code, the matter has been referred to the independent adviser on ministers’ interests.
“In the light of these accusations that have been made against Shahid Malik and the need for them to be properly investigated, the Prime Minister has asked the independent adviser, Sir Philip Mawer, to establish the facts of the matter as a matter of urgency and advise accordingly.
“Pending the outcome of that investigation, Shahid Malik will be stepping down as a minister. He is not being replaced.”

Bugrit. Cocked up the link
Sky News has it here
Before we get out the bunting and have a street party, let’s have a think about this. Malik stepped down, why? He is marginally worse than the others, but not by a huge margin.
I think there’s a lot more about Malik that he doesn’t want to come out. It may not be related to his expenses, but he’s in the cross-hairs and wants to fade into the background as soon as possbile. Why?
We KNOW why Malik has stepped down officially, (till the rent question is sorted out), but do other posters think he would not have been given the push (in a speedy reshuffle) for sheer brass neck, obtuseness and self-justification in the long Carrie Gracie interview on TV I mentioned a few hours back?
He represents Dewsbury, a part of the country with a lot of poverty and unemployment, and he has behaved greedily, crassly and tackily: as if he had been let loose in Comet or Argos – ‘Supermarket Sweep’ style to equip his second home with large amounts of STUFF: gross TVs, a £750 ‘massage chair’, home cinema, etc etc… That is if TV: BBC News this afternoon is correct in what it is reporting…
What hubris!
There has already been an independent investigation carried out into Malik’s expenses, and that was by The Daily Telegraph.
We pay them £144,000 pa each and they still get their £600 per month Waitrose bills paid for them every sodding month!
They’re taking the piss and gettiing away with it.
Taking the pies more like
I’d reply but I can’t type with my mouth full.
Why can’t they use Lidl like every good German does.
Moat Pies !! – got it – oh well!
Ernst Rohm as I live and breathe.
Always wondered what happened to the old NAZI…
Shaid Malik has done nothing wrong. The Koran allows, and even encourages, muslims to rip off the kaffirs whenever they can.
Its all been taken out of context.
let’s have a taste of Sharia Law – just a small amputation
BBC reports malik steps down as justice minster pending enquiry.
Gross Injustice I’m being persecuted for being a Muslim.
Where’s Lord Ahmed?
Oh do drop the anti-muslim bit, folks… and the anti Waitrose bit, come to that.
Shahid Malik had to step down because, when interviewed quite cleverly and persistently by the immensely admirable Carrie Gracie (who is worth every penny of her £92,000pa) could not see that buying a huge 40″ flat-screen massively expensive (and massively vulgar) tele on the rest of us was in any way reprehensible, if it was ‘within the rules’. Carrie gave him ample opportunity to waver a bit, and he didn’t.
Malik was also wrong to warble on about David Cameron’s huge Oxfordshire mansion. Cameron lives in Barn Cottage, a pretty, but a trifle crumbly normal sized old house in a small village. He dines out on the tale that if he stands at his cottage door he can in the distance see the lights of ‘The Big House’ where the squire lives… his predecessor as MP in this constituency. The Lord of the Manor in the mansion is… guess who? Sean Woodward scion of Nu-Labour, and married to a Sainsbury’s heiress. Up with our humble, decent local Waitrose, say I!
And Guido… ‘Every little Helps’ is Tesco’s slogan. Stop sneering at Waitrose. It is NOT just for the posh and the expensive!
He knowsa how toa milka da system!
I don’t care whether Waitrose is expensive or not, Eddy Bollox is looking a bit skinny, £600 a month clearly isn’t enough to feed the Hoonreable member. Perhaps we should start organising food parcels to be sent to him, he is after all so deserving and in his own special way pure.
I recognise Yvette, but who is the Hitler look-a-like next to her?
Is it the actor from those hilarious Bunker spoofs?
My, does’nt Yvette look smug……..
That’s not Yvette, that’s Eva Braun….Braun ? Braun ? Brown !!!!!
If we cant have your tax money, then nobody can. Release the virus now.
KILL ZEM, KILL ZEM ALL
So Malik has stood down for now but will return to office if….. sorry, when an inside job clears him of any wrong doing.
He’s a Sharia law man, so lets chop off his hand for thieving now and let him have it back if, sorry when he can prove his innocence.
Please sir, can I have some Mawer?
Mr Robinson, the MP for East Belfast who has also been the First Minister in the Northern Ireland Assembly since June last year, and his wife, the MP for Strangford, received a total of £571,939 in 2007-08 in salaries and expenses from jobs in Westminster and Northern Ireland.

Just read that amount again….
I see Malik has resigned
If you can’t kick a man when he’s down when CAN you? Especially a bug ugly couple of troughers as Mr and Mrs BALLS to you Huhnes who voted for us!!!
Shahid Malik’s web site carries the slogan ‘New Labour, New Britain’.
Think he’s missing one.
‘New Television’
new job required
and these are the tw@s that abolished MIRAS.Thats Mortgage Interest Relief at Source for you numpty labour shyte
I have a vision of MP’s of spending a few minutes in the chamber voting on important issues and then queuing for ages outside the standards office waiting to see if they can wangle some Farrow and Ball paint on expenses having spent even more time in the bar discussing the best way to do it with some other spongers.
Why do we pay for their food? – do they have to eat twice?
He has stepped down as a matter of course, not over his expenses, but over allegations that he receives preferential rent on his house in Dewsbury (as such, a benefit which may be repaid by favours from Mr Malik) from a local businessman, which would be viewed as wrong under the Ministerial code. He has stepped down while this is investigated, if exhonerated he will be reinstated, if not he will be permanently fired.
What an vile pair they are! Both were too close to the ugly stick!
You haven’t seen anything yet. Just wait until they start on School fees for any children that they have and how they spin that out.
Bit of double accounting from Gordon’s right hand man at the Treasury and the current Chief Secretary o the Treasury. Could explain a lot about the UK’s finances!
We see now why we have taxes in the gods, and public servives in the basement.
The reality is that these sums are minima compared to the shed load of money gone to the banks.
It’s the contempt for public money, and the hard working people who earn.
It’s about a population serving the state.
There is one law this government passed that has worked, the FoI act. It’s worked because even with this one they fucked it. They thought they construed it and framed it to exclude them, and they were wrong.
As we all look at those who abuse the system, lets look for something positive about Britain and some areas of Public Life. The activists who started this ball rolling. The Data Commissioner and the courts who have put public interest first.
Well minded people are out there, and it’s going to be our job as an electorate to bring them to the front
For fucks sake, what does it take before some of these lying, incompetent, troughing shitbags do time for fraud?
If they weren’t all useless wankers it wouldn’t be so bad, but not one of these Labour dimwits could hold down a job in the real world.
When will Crash and co get the message? Fuck off and die you thieving slimy Huhnes.
For fucks sake, what does it take before some of these lying, incompetent, troughing shitbags do time for fraud?
It takes an independent police force free from politial placemen, and a competent CPS. Don’t wait up.
I take it that most are a little offended by this pair of spongers
Looks like a job for Social Sevices – a couple of persistent criminals, not the sort of environment that children should be exposed to. Get ‘em into foster care
So what!
When I make mistakes I usually end up losing out financially. Strange how MPs mistakes always result in them benefiting financially.
Let’s go back to the democratic principle of ONE LAW FOR ALL, and prosecute the Westminster criminals with the same vigour with they would pursue a ‘benefit cheat’ single parent who had ‘made mistakes’ with tiny sums of public money to try and make ends meet.
Six hundred pounds each month for groceries seems a little bit over the top doesn’t it? I wonder if they are they putting food in all three fridges .
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their sties with all their backing
They don’t care what goes on around
In their eyes there’s something lacking
What they need’s a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

Delighted that most of the media and the blogs are using this picture alongside the story. Anything to make Edward Hoon and his ghastly wife more miserable than they already are.
Also pleased to see that this thread will ensure that Balls continues to hate the Guido Fawkes blog and everything it stands for.
glad we dont have a police state (yet). from the expression on balls/cooper’s faces, the cameraman would be in a gulag before his digital picture developed!
Wonder if balls has a white furry cat he can stroke while developing world domination plans?
I have a pussy I stroke regularly. Once I’ve blown the cobwebs away.

Only one sure fire way to remove a cancer- excise it.
“self destruct”
Is that what THEY call it now?
This isn’t completely relevant to the story, but I have just been watching a clip from the BBC News website entitled, “Question Time audience boos Telegraph editor” (or something like that). It is quite extraordinarily inaccurate. When Dimbleby asked Brogan if he would reveal how much he’d paid (or maybe it was Menzies Campbell who asked), Brogan politely refused. There was a mild chuckle around the audience; no booing whatsoever.
I then clicked on another BBC link which shows a BBC anchorman asking Brogan why his paper had only embarrassed Government ministers (which isn’t true now anyway). Brogan calmly answered that they had to start somewhere.
The BBC are really something else, aren’t they?
Yes, they are the propaganda arm of Zanulabour.

The biggest troughers are all Labour (Balls, Hoon, Darling, Malik, Blears etc) apart from one Tory: Andrew Mackay.

I’ve added the halo to the pic as you requested but it may not be what you were expecting!
Let us prey.
Ocado here!! Waitrose delivery for Mr and Mrs Balls-Cooper.
Leave my local humble Waitrose supermarket alone. Go shop at multimillionaire Nu-labore Woodwards… I mean Sainsbury’s. Waitrose deliver for free… very valuable for the disabled in particular. You can get just as cheap-but-good stuff there if you choose wisely. I have just unpacked mine. No shit stuff stocked, and 100% send-it-back guarantee with no questions asked and a full refund.
I am sure the Cooperballs, who are undoubtedly not as bright as you might think, are also even ignorant enough to buy organic! No, I don’t have any shares in Waitrose, or anywhere else for that matter, but slagging this shop off is tiresome and inaccurate… and SUCH A CLICHE! Ladies and Gentlemen! Please desist!
There always seem to be a lot of Ocado (Waitrose) deliveries here on campus. I know to a nongender specific person they are all socialists.
Who is that woman with a face like a smacked arse that is walking next to me? What is going on?
Have we been introduced?
Identify yourself.
This little piggy went to Westminster,
And this little piggy stayed at home (second home),
This little piggy had a working lunch,
And kept the receipt for later on.
And this little piggy went FEES FEES FEES
All the way to his other second home
That’s what they term…taking home the bacon.
By the look on their faces the foie gras was off!
I notice ferret face (known to some as Margaret Beckett) is refusing to pay back the cash she has pilfered for her hanging baskets. Can I suggest she spends her ill gotten gains on a facelift – nearly brought up my curry last night when she grinned. Ugly old bitch!
I suppose the woman can’t change her looks, but she could change her attitude. Reality must surely be dawning, and the opposite benches are calling!
Actually, the Right Honourable (!!!) Margaret Beckett is known affectionately as Horse Face. Her other name is Bag Lady. This is a reference to the brown paper variety she should be forced to wear at all times in public places.
Any dirt expected on Harman?
She’s got a scruffy front hedge so some gardening expenses would seem a little amiss and what about the “security gates” her claimed, in court, that he needed after the Fathers4Justice lark on their roof?
I’d like to if this troll has any skelentons in her closet
As MP for Peckham she doesn’t qualify for the additional costs allowance which has resulted in all these dubious claims.
Explains the scruffy hedge then
Scruffy front hedge?
I heard a Brazilian.
SE24 9HZ is it in her constituency?
Lots of other stuff coming up under the radar:
Granny flat’ homeowners face extra council tax bill – yes revaluation by stealth is with us.
Postal workers refuse to deliver BNP leaflets -censorship is alive and well.
It is crystal clear that if there are to be any more prosecutions under the Hunting Act, members of the public will have to present overwhelming evidence of criminality before the police are prepared to take action.
Ah,nice to see the police treating all crimes equally.
How about we dress a few MPs up in fox costumes and get them hunted down by a pack of hungry dogs? Would that be in contravention of the Hunting Act? Even if it is, I can’t imagine any jury of 12 ordinary men & women would ever convict anyone for it.
Finding dogs who would bite them might be a problem. Dogs aren’t daft you know…
She could wear a veil!

Only if she keeps her crash helmet on…
Short Answer : No
I have – but it was I who kept the me helmet protected
Yeah,, she looks like a Duracell battery.
And even more expensive.
Could almost be Hitler and Eva Braun if you squint a bit…
Nah. No tash – yet.
I thought the same. His haircut has a hitleresque look. Just crayon on a moustache…
drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip…
Eye oop! ello mum, im on’t telly…..
Ive posted this before, but its worth repeating. They sent pensioners to jail because they cant afford their rates and food. These feel they have to claim their full grocery bill from the tax payer. Evil, evil bastards
Added to some MP expense costs submitted are the expense costs submitted by political civil servant staff such as McBride …if those civil servants were getting 6 figure salaries in their pay grade they must have had operational expenses too so what were they exactly, and who signed off on them ?
Ed Balls just needs a little ‘tache and he’d make a very good Hitler.
Is crucifixion really too severe?
No, no, no. Adolf was much better looking, and kinder to children.
Malik has not stepped down, just back a bit! the little sinister fully expects to be brought back ? what a £%^”$^&£%&U%&%£”$”$$ er!.
Of course he will and he and his mates will continue shafting the country, ZaNuLab just love sucking up to the Muslim vote, without giving a thought to what will happen to democracy once there are enough of them in parliament.
ZaNuLab, pocket liners living only for the day and what they can scam in that day!
My what a splendid SS-Obergruppenführer he would make then we could just prey that some Czech assassins could lob a grenade as his official car makes the journey from Balls Towers to his Ministry for the dumbing down of kids.

THE QKRAOUWN EXEQUSHIONERS* CHOPPING SONG
VURSE 1
BLOODY BLOODY CHOPPING,
ALL DAY BLOODY LONG,,
BLOODY BLOODY CHOPPING,
KEEPS ME FIT AND STRONG
FIRST THE HEAD IS CHOPPED FROM THE BODY,
THEN THE BOD, IT IS CHOPPED FROM THE HEAD,
THEN THE HEAD IS CHOPPED FROM THE BODDEE,
*TIL THE BODY AND THE HEAD ARE DEAD
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter’d your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes, have you not defil’d this sacred place, and turn’d the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress’d; your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse the Augean Stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings, and which by God’s help and the strength He has given me, I now come to do.
I command ye, therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. You have sat here too long for the good you do. In the name of God, go!”
“gold is your God”
And this from a man who melted down the crown jewels and sold them. At least McBroon only sold the gold reserves.
THE AXE GETS GOOD AND BLOODY,
GOOD AND BLOODY BLUNT,
THE AXE GETS BLOODY BLOODY,
BLOODY, BLOODY
BLUNT
WHEN THE HEAD IS HALF OFF THE BODY,
THEN THE BODY IS HALF OFF THE HEAD,
AND WHEN THE HEAD IS HARF OFF THE BODY,
THEN THE BODY AND THE HEAD AIN*T DEAD
THE BLOQK GETS BLOODY BLOODY,
BLOODY BLOODY RED,
THE BLOQK GETS BLOODY BLOODY,
FROM THE BODY AND THE
BLOODY
HEAD
WHEN THE HEAD IS TCHOPPED OF THE BODY,
THEN THE BODY IT IT TCHPPED OFF THE HEAD,
AND WHEN THE HEAD IS TCHOPPED OFF THE BODY.
THEN THE BODY AND THE HEAD ARE DEAD
BLOODY, BLOODY, CHOPPING,
ALL DAY BLOODY LONG,
BLOODY BLOODY CHOPPING,
KKEPS ME FIT AND STRONG

Dear Mr Brown,
We are planning to start a business but first would
like some advice. We won’t bother going into
manufacturing as it is now cheaper to import most
things from our competitors and our Ideological and
political opponents,even enemies, just so long as a
profit is made.
In view of all the building of homes that must be
undertaken at some point,to house the explosive influx into this country we thought of creating a home interiors business with a catchy name of “Inhome”.
We have already selected our Management Team, MT’s for short. (We will not go short however as we have ensured a fantastic and ever increasing remuneration
and pension package for MT’s)
Each employee will have deductions called Inhome Taps.
( we thought you might appreciate the pun on Taps You turn the screw,increase flow and you get more out)
Our English employees make up the largest sector (and
contributors) but will have the least representation
as they won’t always tell us what we want to hear.
Scottish and Welsh employees will be able to influence
all Company matters. The English however will have no
influence over matters affecting Scots and Welsh ( who
we will keep happy with better benefits for children
and the elderly family members )
All employees will benefit from the subsidised Works
Canteen policy or ‘WC’ for short in fact we thought it might be a popular idea to let anyone come in off the street, even those who hate us and wish our company harm, to use as their ‘WC’.
In fact we intend to leave the doors open for anyone to walk in. Actually we thought we would probably do the the same with the company health scheme.
We will install CCTV cameras everywhere and tell the
workers it is in the interests of Partnership
Initiatives,Safety and Diversity. It will allow us to
control the workforce, as well as create a bit of
profit from fining workers for dropping litter,
catching the warehouse workers speeding on the fork
lift, and those despicable security men and well
meaning workers who have the temerity to roughly
handle those caught killing, beating and stealing
inside the building.
We suppose we will have to pay for some sort of
security at work but we thought it would be another
popular idea to tie up our security in political
correctness and paperwork in order to make them
ineffective. That way we can publicly blame them,
whilst the Lawyers in the family, circle of friends
and similarly MT’s families, can make a fat profit
and fantastic living from the misery of our security
and employees. Its a WIN- WIN situation for us.
We thought it would be a popular idea to let our
competitors have control of the gas,electricity, water and telecommunications we use so that they can make fat profits to keep going and find us Consultants jobs in case our employees find out what we are really up to.
We have an idea that If we link up with some of our
competitors we can form an unstoppable Union. We
thought Unlimited Rules On People Employed, “U-Rope”
for short was catchy. Everyone tied up with endless
restrictions. We can spin endlessly about our great
performance whilst ignoring the basics which ensure
stable and successful working conditions for the vast
majority of our workforce, the law abiding English
“Taps” payer.
We will “manage” all information by what we will call (BULLSHIT BROADCASTING CHICANERY) – BBC for short.
Also by what we will call the “Government Maintained Treachery of Voters – GMTV for short.
Bit by bit we can distance the workers from the
decisions affecting them, whilst throwing in a bit of
good news in the company magazine and radio, adding
some buzz words like “Democracy”, “Empower” and
“Choice”. Meanwhile secretly plan to “sell them down the river”
To get to the reason for this letter, we need some advice. There we were having another Policy meeting on whether Scots should have to make tea for the English and if Catholics should have to make tea for
Methodists, when in walks this Yorkshireman saying he
is unhappy the way the English are being ignored and badly represented.
Unfortunately he is a persistent beggar. The first
time we shouted him down, calling him a “Little
Englander”. Then, when he came back, we screamed
“RACIST” He was moaning after we fined him for
persistent use of the phrase “Vale of York”. As we
thought it offensive to Spanish lady flamenco dancers
and Little old Italian grandmas who go to church on
Sunday. You see someone may mistake it for the “Veil
of York” and get upset.
He even wanted to bring in cheese for his lunch wrapped in muslin cloth.
We thought it was too close to a word we would rather people did’nt talk about so we suspended him for a while.
(PS. Yorkshire is in that area,or rather region as you like to call it, that John Prescott says does not exist. ENGLAND)
The question we would like to ask you Mr Brown is this; seeing as you are running the Country in this way, How long can we expect our English employees to be conned and browbeaten before they wake up, look up
“treachery” and “backbone” in the dictionary,turn a bit violent and nasty,and start a civil war on us?.
We realise they have a vain hope of someone English
with integrity , honesty and organisational skills will represent them but as the saying goes, “The world loves an optimist” eh?
Signed
N. Glish and Jack Doff

sorry if it’s already been posted, but has anyone noticed that ed balls, in the picture above, seems to bear resemblance to a certain herr hitler ?
who’s that with him ??
eva braun ???
Why are we paying ANYONE’S food bill? What are wages for?
Could not agree more.If they are taking in 300,000 a year claiming an additional £600.00 per month for food really is taking the piss.
The rules that expenses should be for essential items in the furtherance of their duties and above reproach must have been broken by their food bill alone.
It would appear that their wages are not used for food expenditure because in their parallel universe paying for food and anything else that can be charged to the tax payer is “the right thing to do” and a perk of the job.
Keep up the good work Mr Fawkes!

thanks nigel it was a good read
As someone said of News Night “everyone understands avarice but it’s the pettiness of some of their claims that voters particularly labour voters won’t understand” Most labour voters will have thought that such behaviour would have been beneath their MP’s – & in the past I imagine that may have been on the whole true but now that we have professional politicians most of whom have NEVER held down a proper job they have lost touch with reality and this is the result
I read somewhere that every Labour government has left office with the unemployment figures higher than when it came into power. Can anyone confirm this?
Two for the price of ten.
I’d put on a punt at Paddy Power, that it’s Yvette’s high maintenance that has made troughing a neccessity for this pair of scumbags. IMHO only Mrs Anne Expenses Keen has more neck
