UKIP Breaking Through on 19%
Yesterday Guido spoke to a number of UKIP staffers – they were saying they are overwhelmed with new support. They were particularly excited by the cross-over from former Labour voters. UKIP plan to run a bigger poster campaign than they did at the last Euro-elections. Punters are even betting on them beating Labour for third place. Tebbit was right, UKIP look to be the big beneficiary of the revulsion at the expense scandals engulfing the three major parties.
For the euro-elections YouGov have the Tories on only 28%, Labour on 22%, LibDems on 19% and UKIP have risen 12 points this week to 19%, the BNP are on 4%. Despite Labour propaganda about the dangers of the BNP, it looks like it will be UKIP who are going to be the big winners from the anti-political zeitgeist.
13th?
Love the handle.
Anyone going to mention UKIP are the biggest troughers with 20% of their MEPS being done and one in Jail for fraud. The public are so gullible
Thirded
“It’s the opportunity to make shedloads of money. At the end of the day I made £2,000 this week. ..It’s Cushy” -Ukip Euro MP Tom Wise
That’s the sound of a Fat little Ukip Piggy Squealing happily.
Snout firmly in the trough.
This story with those who have the memory of a Goldfish.
HIGH-LIVING Ukip Euro MP Tom Wise raises a glass to another rewarding day in Brussels-spent shamelessly DODGING work and SCAMMING a fortune in expenses.

“Anyone going to mention UKIP are the biggest troughers with 20% of their MEPS being done and one in Jail for fraud. The public are so gullible”
If UKIP achieve their aim then they won’t exist any more cos we won’t have any MEPs to trough, so that problem is solved.
Oh, and your team’s rubbish.
*
19% OF 40% THAT BOTHER TO VOTE = 8% IN PERSPEQKTIVE
just seen malik on sky what a hoon
You’re missing the point. The UKIP didn’t try to protect them the way ZanuLabour, the ToryToerags and the LimpWristedDemocrates did. They booted both of them out of the party as soon as they got caught.
Even members of our local CLP are supporting the UKIP. Anonymously of course. Brown’s blackshirts would crucify them if the did it openly.
Take a look at these two:-

You kip if you want to.
@18, yes but the minority parties trough generally to fill their party coffers – it isn’t right, but of course if the troughing is personal then they get the boot, as did happen with the UKIP guy.
Cooper Balls, where’s the gotcha?
Was it worth all the excitement beforehand?
Cheers Guido the bug is in the post, just off now to get my snout firmly back in the trough before we get thrown out by the British taxoayer!
Keep up the good work of decieving the public.
When did all the ex Lab/Tory/ LibDem voters suddenly become eurosceptics? Maybe UKIP will get a shock when all the great disaffected vote LIBERTAS instead for a strong UK in strong and democratic EU and none of their MEPs will be trough tainted as they are all new to the game!
Are we actually allowed to say BNP on here? I ask, only, because I did once and I don’t think I got away with it.
Yes some of my comments with those 3 terrible letters never appeared. This is like bloody socialist russia etc etc etc etc etc you horrible Hunts and so on.
Apparently it’s ok if it is very clearly to abuse the party-that-must-not-mentioned.
Just goes to show that CONservatve voters are so blind that they will vote for the biggest thieves if they wear a blue ribbon
It’s depressing that the country has such idiots as they
NOT DRUNK AGAIN ARE YOU GUIDO?
Looks like we are not . I abandoned the BBC Have Your Say forums for Guido due to the BBC’s ridiculous ‘don’t mention the war’ approach but it looks like this is even worse. Nothing like a bit of freedom of speech .
That is a fucking joke. I don’t have any sympathies with any political party but your censorship-wallah won’t allow AMO, but all shifted one letter on?
That is rather quee*r.
Apologies. Thank you to the moderator. I’ll try and think of something humourous to say in gratitude.
Ukip has made no secret of the fact that they use all the cash they can get from the EU. The commission tried to stop them using allowances to build up the party.
You can rip off the tax payer as long as you support the EU
The members who used the cash for personal reasons were all binned.
The Bruxelles boys keep an extra sharp eye on these :
‘Running dogs of Anglo-Saxon-Brytonic Imperialism. Reactionary Feeworld Monkeys. They would let blacks ruin Europe with their equallity for all maddness’.
So if there is any Westministerism by UKIP, they will point it out to you PDQ.
Well there no having my three hundred postal votes this time i’m trying to sell it at a loss
First Class
300? I could only manage 57!
Guido comes out in support of the biggest most hopeless troughing party in history UKRAP.
White coats are on the way round Guido no need for the self harming!
Why did you flip the picture?
Wow Guido resorting to his own propaganda regarding UKIP!
he is no better than Brown and the other liars.
check out the website hits, check out the election results, check out the poll from last week that showed UKIP going from 12 seats to 4.
You are a disgrace Guido and you will be a laughing stock when the election results come in, when it is revealed you have been spouting pure lies and propaganda
Now Guido why don’t you put your money where you mouth is and lay a £10,000 bet on UKIP getting more seats than last time – what’s up, chicken or just a plain liar as well as a phoney Libertarian?.
Guido please explain why the UKRAP website is still on the life support machine threantend to be turned off?
it’s alot better than labourlist. moron.
Are you sure!
both censor like it’s communist China, yet one claims to be a libertarian!
guess who!
Thanks Guido for talking up the hopeless non threat about to be obliterated – UKIP,
that should scupper a few tory votes and distract the slaeze back on to sleazy UJIP.
Now how would you like your reward – brown paper bag?
I see that trougher Tom Watson made huge claims which were on the edge of the rules. He also seems to always spend £100/week on food. Probably accounts for his unhealth complexion and sweaty, chubby jowls. Perhaps they will not let him put Weight Watcher membership on expenses.
Why would anyone support Gordon – what a comedian!!
I just love his dance routine.
Morbid Curiosity. He brought the country to its knees in less than two years, I wonder what he would do with another 5.
It’s a pity that people who think of themselves as politically informed should continue to peddle the myth that GB is responsible for the recession
Try learning a bit of economics and apply that to a lack of liquidity in the banking system and then consider the fact that the banks were so full of conservative voting wankers that they had no clue what they were buying into, then tell me who’s responsible for the recession
To be fair its been building up for more than 2 years, the road to oblivion began with good old Saint Tony.
Al Qaeda sympathisers, Irish republicans trapped in a time-warp and other assorted Britain haters will vote for the disgusting labour party. Brown is doing a much more effective job than all their efforts combined!
232 – Don’t make jokes like that the “Scottish Scunner” has another year to play with given his troughing collegues don’t have the guts to do the right thing by the Country and dump him and his slobbering asshole of a collegue/co-conspirator, the esteemed Speaker of the Hous of Commons. If they did pluck up the courage to dump that pair it would at least “improve” their poll ratings. possibly!
Well I absolutely hate the this country and want to see it reduced to a pile of burning cinders! So Gordon’s got my vote!
Cowabunga!!!!!
Brown MUST stay.
Of course he must. To actually take responsibility for once. Nah, second thoughts, daft idea. How long can this madman stay locked in the bunker?
Forever if we pour concrete around it
Yes I need another massage chair. Call me at my office and tell me where i can claim another one on the stupid tax payers -

Thank god for that.
Fuck off back to the EU where people want the EU, Libertas.
Ignorant hoon, we lost the empire years ago and can’t make shit all and when we do its vastly fucking more expensive than anyone else’s.
What’s your plan when we leave the EU then?
Or is it not possible to have more than one concurrent thought?
1/ You have a silly bias for “Bigger Cartel = Better” in actual fact “More trade = Better” and we can get more trade outside the EU customs cartel.
2/ Maybe the things we make are expensive because our companies are burdened with loads of regulations. I wonder where regulations come from?
3/ Your “thought” is just wrong. The EU is a socialist organisation whose implosion is inevitable. Lets be as disconnected from it as possible when it does.
Anticitizenone… Yup. We would be a LOT better off in financial, monetary and legal terms outside the EU. Only troughers will miss sucking on the EU tit!
Name one useful thing we do not make that anyone really needs. This country is pretty much self sufficient. We don’t import necessities but luxuries. And if its more expensive than what you can get out of a far eastern sweatshop, well you can’t get round the old minimum wage.
Yep we might even suffer as much as the Swiss !
Those poor Norwegians, they really suffer from not being “at the heart of Europe”, how I feel for them!!
22% don’t back Brown – they just like watching his comedy act.
Tragic isn’t it or I call it karma
The karma chameleon, he’ll change his stance to suit public opinion whilst soldiering on with his own adgenda.
Malik making a right Hunt of himself live on Sky.
Fantastic…
“If we don’t take the money then the tories take it to do up their estates..”
Grubbing bastard.
Is this how Sharia law works?
I never trust anyone who wears a rag on their head or their surnames ends in “ik”
He’s a bit shouty.
Never did like the guy. Always full of his own self-importance and a chip on his shoulder to boot.
Never did like the guy. Very full of his own self-importance and the comments about seeing a future Muslim PM enough to alienate most sensible people.
Oh bollox…that bloody typing thingy again!
not your fault Karlos, it’s the system
Quite. Guido, if you’re listening just get those nice chaps who write your software to pay back your expenses and we’ll forget all about it
Where did he learn his politics…
Did he say the Tories ere ANTI-MUSLIM as well ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will know where the racism is then….
They forget these bastards that rasicm is a two edged sword…
Islam is not a race, it’s a religion.
So what does racism have to do with anything?
He exhibits more prejudice than than any white man is allowed to.
And which party was it that told lies to be able to launch an invasion so that they could kill hundreds of thousands of followers of Islam? Labour!
Don’t forget Ned, only a white English man can be racist.
Wascism has gotta do wif evrefink. Criticising Jacki Smiff for a bath plug dads wascist cos shesa minoriddy. Not wanting Baron S Uddin to haf a BMW X5 dads wascist cos u dont want the historically opressed to be mobile.
FREE THE TOORING ONE!
What would ahppen if you steal in a country abiding by sharia law?
Malik, like Vaz, is an oily third world hoon.
Good thing you didn’t mistype the first letter…
Both of them are an appalling advertisement for tokenism.
And a really good local MP from an ethnic minority got scuppered by that rascal Gorgeous George
They all look the same to me.
Oona King was not scuppered by Galloway.
She was scuppered when her predominantly Muslim constituents worked out she was Jewish….

Fuck me he’s getting an easy time! What a thieving cnut, the interviewer is fucking shit, FFS it’s coming over as a Labour Political Broadcast – please someone shut this fuck up!

Leave Malik alone. He’s told you: it’s all the fault of the fees office.
Ids all da fawlty of whitey in the fees office.
FREE THE TOORING ONE!
I was going to vote for UKIP – but I think that Libertas have a better chance of cleaning up the European parliament.
How can you clean up an undemocratic system?
The politicians over in brussels vote on what they are told to vote on by an un elected commision, when they get it wrong they have to vote on a reworded variant 6-12 months later!
By reforming it and making it democratic?
It’s not difficult to understand, unless you survive on anti-European bile.
why reform it just get rid of it as no one I know wants it except the politicians who make money out of it.
Unecessary waste of money corrupt from top to bottom,
In my constituency – Eastern – we have several candidates for UKIP, Jury, Libertas, and also for no2europe or soemthing like that. And the Tories of course. There is a very real danger of the Greens or some such cleaning up from a very split anti-EU vote
I wisdh all those who see the dangers of the EU project would get their act together – and get together! UKIP are the only part to have dropped a leaflet in my letterbox so far btw – and they have a pretty good slate of candidates, on paper at least
I don’t mind UKIP MEPs troughing, they do it to put two fingers up to the system! – and to show how easy it is
All the MPs do it to put two fingers up to the system
And you are a hypocrite!
She may or may not be, but she’s got the courage to have a name.
Leave the lady alone, shitforbrains
And there is nothing the “Scottish Scunner” likes more than two fingers up his system, “You hear that Balls, you troughing wanker and hoon”.
And there is nothing the “Scottish Scunner” likes more than two fingers up his system, “You hear that Balls, you troughing wanker and hoon”.
And if that’s not good enough I hear there are plenty of people out there who would love to give him a good “fisting”!
That has made my day, well done UKIP.
And you were still only seven minutes in. Congratulations.
UKIP?
LMFAO
UKIP is a NuLabour-sponsored front to split the Tory vote,
Fuck off UKIP, more like.
U KIP if you want to
this Lady is not for kipping
Actually I quite like a kip.
Worst PM ever.
Hand of history – a prophetic handle – “we are living in interesting times” – I believe these are times of change whch we have the chance to influence —-
And still 22% of the population think McBastard is doing a good job. The only manufactoring sector on the increase must be the tailoring of back fastening jackets.
It’s cos their nan voted Laybrinnit
Worst PM ever?
Easy – Thatcher by a very very long country mile – her reign bred people like you
duh, duh is dat a fact?
I don’t believe 22% believe McBastard is doing a good job. Christ; neither the cabinet nor the majority of the PLP think that. Instead, it’s the Labour-through-thick-and-thin brigade that help to make up the 22%. Oh, and people like me who, when given the opportunity to do so, tick the appropriate box in order to sow confusion, skew the figures and get Brown to stay and fuck up some more.
I have no wish to support Brown but don’t you think the prime minister who should really be in the frame as the worst ever is Anthony Lynton Blair? My view is that he oversaw a culture of entitlement amongst the Guardian reading elite in which sanctimonious self congratulation about being the “nice” party permitted Labour MPs (and a pile of assorted hangers on with consultancy contracts which were a license to print money) to lose sight of reality. The expenses pot was doubled on his watch.
Obviously this zeal for filling one’s boots then extended to other parties and whilst I am a committed hair-shirt wearer myself, I do wonder what I might have been tempted to claim for if working in a culture where having one’s cleaner, gardener and trouser press paid for seemed to be the norm . What I am certain of, is that I would not have claimed for mortgage I didn’t have or for items for home A in March, followed by the same items for home B in May. Neither would I have claimed to be living in a paper bag as my primary residence while my second home was a million pound+ property.
Agree, most of the excesses started with tony blair. after only 6 months in power
I wrote to him to ask why his government were not fulfilling the promises of
their manifesto. i was sent a long defensive reply. After another 6 months nothing
had changed vis-a-vis fulfilling promises, so I wrote again, and amazingly
received (by mistake, I presume) exactly the same letter as I had the first time!
Then I knew that the game was up, and that I had been foolish in voting nulabour
in the first place. Things have gone since from bad to worse. I have been writing
critical letters to nulabour ever since. Lets have Blair’s xs brought into the spotlight! He basically started this spivvy culture. Although Thatcher acted as the
building block.
anonymous at 360 written by the BAREFOOTCONTESSA
Blair’s game was to buy Parliament so that he could do what he wanted.
It worked.
What he wanted was to get very rich, he did not and does not give a fuck about the Country, and he has complete contempt for any human life except his own.
He and Putin are twins.
too right! and when is “the court of public opinion” going to catch up with him?!
or, more importantly The Court of Human Rights at the Hague. Tony Blair is the
architypal spiv (someone who makes money by dubious means), and has managed to stay light enough on his feet up ’til now to avoid in depth investigation. Guido, when are you going to get at him?what an example he’s made to the rest of the country.
Agreed. Blair worst PM ever, Brown worst chancellor and second worst PM.
Blair was unquestionably the worst PM, and the most cunning and slippery. He kept Brown in his position as Chancellor so that, when he (Blair) finished as PM, Brown’s ruination of the economy would distract from Blair’s own ruination of our national institutions and the destruction of the work ethic on which our working class had depended.
I asked Guido a couple of days ago to write an article on the slippery one in order that we may be view his ‘achievements’ as PM from today’s perspective. I hope that GF is at his keyboard busily drafting said article.
Malik is coming across as a right fucking Hunt. Why should I pay anything towards his fucking TV?
So next time I get caught speeding and get fined can I just claim it as an “error”?
He has also more or less said that allowing this unseemly troughing prevents only rich Tories from sitting in parliament. He isnt the only person coming out with this argument. One of the “audience” in QT also said the same thing I seem to recall. Obviously this is the party line now being touted by the Borg !
Why don’t the Tories point out the rich Liebour politicians? There’s loads of them.
Yes, obviously they will not attract the right kind of thieving fuckwits for a mere 64K pa. Malikhoon is a religious supremacist nutter anyway and several biscuits short of a packet.
The bit I liked was the Justice Minister paying his summons by charging the taxpayer. Thats what I call takig the pixx.
Good old Beeb happy to feed the populations anger, reflective of their masters at Westminster still no idea whats happening let alone what to do about it.
Frightened Malick huddling up the corner of the metaphorical abbotiar hoping not to be the next batch of pork scratchings.
Today would be a good day for sausage and mash.
Mr Farage smacked a few bums on Newsnight.
Farage looks slightly weird but speaks sense and does a good ‘bloke down the pub’ rant.
He talks sense but looks like a latin master on crack.
He was pretty good at shouting over their “mass immigration is brilliant” lines.
wouldn’t trust him with a bargepole.
Watched Cameron perform at a Q&A session tonight – very polished performance. Good for the faithful, though not much to excite the floating voters who were the main target of the event. Still, it looks like victory is his for the taking when the GE finally happens.
Like Napoleons victory at Moscow?
What an insightful remark, too bad we’re on the receiving side.
Are independent politicians cheapest?
Our most expensive Members of Trough for the year 2007-8:
Ben Wallace CON Lancaster and Wyre 175,523
Mohammed Sarwar LAB Glasgow Central 174,882
Our cheapest:
Richard Taylor IND Wyre Forest 86,484
Virendra Sharma LAB Ealing Southall 93,052
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8044207.stm
Sarwar stood trial for electoral Fraud you may remember. He was of course found not guilty so was obviously innocent. His son was convicted of VAT fraud and imprisoned but is currently out on appeal. He may very well be innocent as well.
If he bungs em enough he will!
Ah! BBC research huh? Well let me see the results Mmmmmm… Conservative prominently named top of the pops and at the bottom of the trough table well, well, well what a surprise no Tory mentioned but a Labour MP is.
I think you will find the least expensive politician in Parliament is actually a Tory but of course that does not fit into the mindset of the left wing BBC so is coveniently ignored.
More crap from the so called Public broadcaster. Scrap the telly tax now.
No, dear. Check the link. It’s an A-Z list of all MPs. I did a quick check to pull out the cheapest and costliest.
Also, the delay in seeing a reply to appear led to my erroneous post below about the M word. Sorry.

And I’ve just discovered another taboo word which trips the autocensor…. It starts with an M.
And also ends with an M.
Am I in the middle?
Is it me! What the fuck ave i done! i got me hands full with these little bleeders!
IDEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah well. Time for a celebratory bong or two.
Things can only get better…
Labour will get 4th? .. surely they’ll be lower than that.
The Media seem obsessed with the BNP, so the underlying message is telling us that we need to vote for a anti-europe party but as people know the BNP are a bunch of socialists then UKIP are the ones gaining from all the attention.
It’s subtle but works I think…. And a good thing.
Vote for UKIP and it looks like you’re effectively voting the ‘Angry of Tunbridge Wells’ party. Their policies on immigration and mass deportation appear to be pretty much the same as the BNP. Their policy on juvenile crime appears to hinge around schools bring back the cane and flogging ‘hoodies’, doubling the number of prisons in the UK and building prison ships (presumably to send the hoodies that didn’t get flogged to Australia). They claim to be against ‘thought crime’ yet they state that they will try any British Muslim for treason if that person ‘appears’ to support jihad, as well as “UKIP would make serious physical or verbal attacks on serving British service personnel a treasonable offence”.
Far better that just for once nobody at all turns out to vote. Let us all send the message to these thieving, lying scum, regardless of BNP, UKIP, Liebour, LavaTory or LibDunno, that they belong in prison and not in the EU parliament or in the UK parliament. I would much more enjoy wiping my backside on a £50 note and fluhing it down the loo than give any more of my hard-earned cash to these frauds. At least it would have served a useful purpose.
A non vote is a giving free pass to Labour Party sleaze and corruption. They are the one’s in government and are the most fearful. Let them feel pain. Vote anybody but Labour
And your problem with that is what exactly?
I think the message is vote for a local independent at the general election and bring to power a group of people who give a shit about US and not their party or their trough.
No vote Libertas
Yes but it would be Labour Sleaze and Labour corruption which makes it better than the alternative
Please, cloud fairies, make Labour come 4th!
GoFourth.
ComeFourth – the website campaigning to ensure Labour are down to 4th place at the next General Election.
Coming soon. Probably.
Excellent suggestion.
Praying to mandy won’t help…
surely not as high as that
Just what exactly is going on underneath the camera on the picture of McBroon there? It looks very suspect to me.
Its Gordon’s special “Marr” look, the one he has just as he climaxes.
Dunno, perhaps he’s being noshed by a choir boy.
Go UKIP!! And the best thing is the BNP make UKIP look like a perfectly reasonable choice. God bless em!
So they’re not a perfectly reasonable choice?
UKIP is a choice for those who think we do things better here.
i.e. those who are utterly detached from reality.
Liebour’s on 19 for the Europoll, isn’t it?
Our plans working then.
well done.
Go UKIP!!! And the best thing is the BNP make UKIP look like a perfectly reasonable choice. God bless em!
The BNP make the raving loonies look like a perfectly reasonable choice, but I’m not idiot enough to vote for them.

He’s in the clear then!

Good. ZaNuLiebore finished sooner than expected. Snotty ought to do the decent thing and fuck off now before he gets lynched – saw him on the train yesterday, he looked worse than Bliar did after he’d had Walter Mitty offed.
We should do to McTwat what we did to that camp twat William Wallace. Stick his head on a pole and send his bollocks off to Cornwall and send what’s left back to Scotland.
No, Hugh Despencer the Younger. I believe I described this in details some time back. You be able to sell loadsof tickets, and the TV rights would be massive.

Off topic, but isn’t Portalloo a complete wanker?
On ‘This Week’ just now (0.20) the conversation turned to MPs’ outside earnings and Porti was bemoaning the possibility that MPs would be reduced to living off just £63k a year if they didn’t have non-Parliamentary work. I suppose they could always eat cake.
Be interesting to know what his expenses were when he was an MP. Btw, does the four year review mean that some of Tone’s expenses will come into the public domain? Gordon’s revenge?
Sorry Robbinghood Tony’s receipts were shredded ‘By Mistake’
From the Guardian, May 2008 -
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/may/23/expenses.blair
The figures include £1,000 for a bed, £50 for a shredder and £10,000 for a new kitchen.
Gordon Brown
Sky TV £99
TV licence £126
Light bulbs (halogen) £32
Food £650
Utilities £71.198
Cleaning £723
Brown also submitted quarterly bills of £723 for cleaning services and £650 for food in 2005/06. Brown had already paid the mortgage on the property and did not need to claim for interest payments.
Tony Blair
New kitchen £10,600
Rubbish removed by council £112.26
…and £1,000 on fitting a mantel shelf to his Aga cooker.
Barbara Follett, Stevenage MP
Window cleaning £1,600
Margaret Beckett
Converting bedroom to a study £477
Extending base of wheelie-bin store £150
New lights and sockets in sun lounge £683
William Hague
Monthly mortgage payments for Westminster flat £1,240
Council tax bill £111
Peter Mandelson
Repairs to home £3,981
Monthly newspaper bill £100
Monthly gardening bill £75
Surely there must still be a paper trail? i.e. payments made and banked.It would be very interesting to find out.
Would anyone have a reasonable explanantion as to why the receipts for Martin and Blair have been shredded? who did it? and more importantly why??
erm… sory i seem to have misplaced them
Yeah I saw that. How hard it must be to live off £64k tax free a year for sitting making people promises you know you can’t deliver on.
in fact not even making promises you can’t keep. being a total lying fucker is better description.
Heard that as well,he should say that to the people on low pay,the one’s Snotty crapped on with his extra 10%.
“An election is nothing more than the advanced auction of stolen goods.” : Ambrose Bierce
Remember he’s been on BBC pay & expenses for the past few years. Must make the House Of Commons seem very cheap.
You’d need a lot of dosh to sit next to that fat slag every week.
^^ Classic.
love to know what his overseas expenses were for the BBC
I saw his recent “Horizon” programme on violence. Good prog although tended to state the bleeding obvious. But I noted he and his crew travelled to deepest Bolivia to film people for whom violence is central to their culture. He could have saved us licence payers a lot of money by coming up to Tyneside on an average Friday night.
Wind in the Willows ?? Toad of Toad Hall?
Can’t imagine who that might be – but someone called Gordon really fits the bil
We need to disolve this rotten parliament.
Ma-am, with all respect, are you listening to us, your people . Sorry to put this pressure upon you, but Your Prime Minister is paralysed in the blazing headlights of a scandal that has engulfed his government and he is incapable of doing anything decent..
Please Ma’am put us out of our misery and call an election.
What’s up with you Nell you usually say night night at 11:20 ?
Like that senile old witch gives a ***k. She could give masterclasses in troughing – the only reason she and her tribe haven’t cost us billions more is that they’ve got the collective intelligence of a slow worm…
Now now Rob, She’s never lied to her people and for what she costs she is v. cheap at the price. We might pay for he “Houses” but she cannot sell them for gain and when she retires (i.e. dies) she doesn’t keep the profits.
What about her private earnings? She must be making a mint out of the reruns of ‘Prime Suspect’.
Ha ha, mate. No agenda here then? Do I get the feeling that Nigel Faberge is coming up smelling of something? Oh well, fresh turds always have the best aroma.

Phew. This is exhausting. I’m knackered.
Guido – according to the Sun article, Labour are on 19% for the Euros not 22%.
Tory 28, Labour 19, UKIP 19, LibDem not mentioned.
Exactly. Fawkes can’t read.
” There is a party out there “, (NOT UKIP) that exposed the Euro Pigs (including UKIP), also the Commons and Lords Pigs, as well as local council Pigs, on their own web site going back over three years. The only reason the broadsheets and tabloids feel that it is their duty to inform the public, is because MP’s expenses will be made public anyway. You would do well to make a note of this poll and compare with the June 4 Euro results and see how far out the Sun’s calculations (lie’s) are. I feel that the unmentionable party may indeed get a BIG mention.
Horseface Beckett (a three-bagger) was on the Bolshevik Broadkasting Kompany QT tonight defending her (& Co) thieving to a chorus of catcalls and boos. Heartwarming. Dimblebore let it run nicely – pains me to say it but this was a good effort from BBC. There was a real sense of impending torches and pitchforks. Interesting times.
Indeed, good effort from the BBC. For once they almost justified the payment of the extortion racket known as the TV license. Though I have to admit I don’t pay it out of priniciple.
Only a single issue tonight as well, the politicians were probably hoping they would change to another subject but Dimbledy really put them on the spot. If this keeps up for a few more weeks like it is, politicans will be hanging from lamp posts.
That birdbrain ming upset me when he used the 4 soldiers that were killed this week to try and sidestep their own misgivings, and worse still he got applause for it !
Yeah I noticed that one.
If he was really concerned about soliders getting killed why doesn’t he just acknowledge we went into afghanstan because Taliban banned Opium production and powerful forces in the west and afghan drug lords were started losing lots of money.
People don’t realise those opium fields in afghanistan are as big cash cow as any Iraqi oil field.
The opium crop finances the Taliban. Thay never banned it.
Who was warning there might be outbreaks of civil unrest this summer. Now we have a forecast of a BBQ summer maybe it is time to get out those old car tyres, and a bit of petrol!
Doctor Mick the Taliban did ban Opium production back in 2000 and Afghanistan went from producing 75% of the worlds opium to less than 5%. Within a year we invaded and Afghanistan in now producing 90% of the worlds opium. There’s lots of info on it around the net if you use google.
You really think we’re in Afghanistan because vested interests really care about the people being able to vote? You really think we’re there to fight Al Queda when the fact is Al Queda was a creatian of the CIA to begin with?
God isn’t she ugly – every woman has the right to be ugly but she abuses it
Beckett may be ugly, but she got uglier still last night. At one point when she was lecturing the audience with considerable pen pointing and finger jabbing someone shouted “Don’t you talk to me like that”. It was almost a “You spilled my pint” moment – I was hoping the place would kick off and we would see some serious carnage.
Yes, but Dimbleby started out in nanny-mode, chiding the audience for its manners. He looked up over his glasses, saw a bank of stony faces which were getting close to storming the stage and teaching the old apologist a physical lesson, and dropped back to pleading that the heckling made it impossible for viewers to understand what was going on.
Note to Dimblebum: we understood perfectly what was going on. Do you?

good old Mail
Ha ha The Daily Mail have a new crusade. And for once it’s I crusade I agree with.
Crusaders are we
I wonder if anyone will do a comparison between the amount of money being defrauded out of the taxpayer by MPs and the deficit in spending on the armed forces? Would make gruesome reading that we are loosing our best and bravest youth in the prime of thier life all due to a lack funds and equipment whilst these fundsare being sqaundered on tax dodges and second homes by our so called public servants.
Level 1 Pvt Uk Armed Forces: £16,681
MP basic annual pay : £64,766
and on..and on..
something is very wrong with this country isnt it?
Yeah, but the Hunts want you to pay for them to crusade, which is a bit fucking rich.

Easy, he’s a minority so gets promoted. Just like useless wimmin like Flint, blears, 5 bellies and Harperson get promoted over more able men.
What I want to know is WHY isn’t the BBC reporting his expenses? There isn’t a single mention of it on the BBC
I actually take it back. You’re right there was no religious connotation to that, I just reacted because there is a video of him on youtube branding him a ‘terrorist in a suit’. So apologies. However, “political correctness” is still a pretty stupid thing to talk about.
Whatever gave you the idea that the BBC was rabidly pro muslim??
Anticitizenone – good point! I see it now – “and tonight on Songs of Praise” we go live to Dewsbury to celebrate the public hanging of some homosexuals and the stoning to death of some adulterers. Later, on the Big Question we will be discussing how to humanely beat your wife if she gets a bit disobediant”

If much of the war against terrorism is a contest between values – in short a PR war-America should be winning hands down. Just shows how fucking incompetent Bush was.

You keep repeating day after day that the Telegraph will feature an expenses scandal involving Ed Balls. And yet again this hasn’t happened.
Is it just wishful thinking on your part?
Yeah i’m looking forward to Ed Balls-up getting strung. I thought his ‘errors’ were suppose to be the worst?
Perhaps the Telegraph is saving the best till last?
There is something about Balls and Cooper in today’s DT. They were flipping properties!
The way this election is going, our Euro delegation is going to be an absolute fucking joke.

It’s funny, my old dad used to say that. We’re very tolerant, but there is a line. And if anyone gets within half a mile of that line they’ll wish they hadn’t.
probably??!!
Yus, mate. So when are you going to rename this site? Interesting.
An observation no more no less. I am sick & tired of our “superiors” imposing their international socialicism upon us to the detrement of the indiginious population. We have created a white underclass in this country as the efforts of Social Services have left them bereft of “service” in order to concentrate on minority groups. We now have a proportion of our younger generation that feels completely disenfranchished with no regard to the values of respect and decency because of the policies of these fuckers.
IMHO, mate we depleted the gene-pool 1914-18 and again 1939-45. The country’s destiny was altered beyond all recognition when the blood (and seed) was spilt on the battlegrounds of Europe and beyond.
The essence of what we were, and what we were to become, was drastically altered through those wars.
Take a look at the average punter, mate. Nuff said. Underclass? Yes, in abundance. In defending our freedom, we sacrificed our freedom. It’s taken some decades for the shite to hit the fan but hit the fan it has.
Honour, truth, dignity, humility, integrity have become alien concepts.
I could go on, but I’m quite lazy, son. I sometimes wonder whether this country wouldn’t be in a better state if The Nazis had got their way. Discuss.
bloody hell Dave you’re on to something there
The good die. The shits run away.
I doubt things would be much different. The problem isn’t the two world wars it is socialism. Whether national or international. As has been pointed out before if you pay people to be poor you will never run out of poor people. The real problem are the hypocritical bastards like Polly Toynbee who think by stealing from the productive part of society to give to the feckless it will cure all our ills. Deluded fuckwits, unfortuntely the British public forget this every twenty years and vote for socialists. That and the demographic shift as more and more wastrels are added and supported by the welfare state.
As W C Fields said, “You have to go through life treating everybody fairly, and hope to meet a few suckers along the way
What about the 1967 abortion act? 42 years of 200,000 abortions a year. About equals the number of immigrants.
It all started in 1948 (and not in America)
fuck right off with your ‘islamophobia’ you brainwashed hoon.
Twat. Religion has nothing to do with it. Your comment suggests you are a religious bigot. Corruption is corruption.
To be fair to Portaloo, 64K is below the average salary for professionals such as GP’s or head teachers. Although I didn’t like him much back in the day, he has improved with age. Not difficult, some might say – but he is a sterling performer on the Brillo show.
Thing is GPs /Head Teachers actual do a skilled job. Being a politican requires no skill apart from being able to quickly make up shit on the spot, repeat government policy and be puppet for the NWO (New World Order) if you aim to be a cabinet minister.
On the contrary it takes great skill to explain to the electorate why claiming for Home cinema systems, moat cleaning, dodgy cleaners and horse shit are a necessary expense whilst performing your role as an MP.

Do you have to say it twice?
accident
Headteachers are skilled, they have to have recognised qualifications to do the job. Politicans are not skilled, apart from in the fine art of fleecing the public. The job of a politian in the House of Commons is to hold the government to account – and we have seen precious little of this since 1997. They are alos responsible for scrutinising legislation to ensure no badly-drafted laws come onto the statute book – another palpable failure.
So no, they are paid well-enough for the rubber-stamping trough-swilling job they do.

twice it say have to do you HMMMM!
slow morning resposse server is HMMMMM!
First Yoda clauses three HMMMM!
Politics is NOT a fucking profession. It’s a vocation.
So we should compare the remuneration of policticians to Vicars (and Imans) not doctors or businessmen.
Unfortunately, the average GP today is little more than a pill-pusher, thanks to the pharmaceutical hegemony; while the average head teacher’s role has changed, in state schools, to box-ticker and form filler. Both of these roles have been sadly reduced, due in large part to an obsessively centralist government – and I speak as a GP married to a (departmental) head teacher. In this degraded society, and in these the worst of times, I actually rate Portaloo’s comments and insights. And I am very far from being a Tory.
Does anyone read this shit?
yes!
I did… a bit…
some of it
How can you read it if your blind?
I’ve got one of those new-fangled ‘Talk Screens’. It’s great! I get some sexy yank bird telling me what you are typing. I think the technology was a spin-off from Sir Clive’s abortive venture into electric wheelbarrows.

Andrew Porter said it would be as bad as today, I don’t think the Claire Short is a mega big story.
They’ve still got the story up there about a serving minister.
Can’t have been Malik as they’d have taken the teaser down.
My money is on:

Interesting a Tory councillor blogger has it on good faith that there was an injunction request but it was turned down Thursday morning. (Search balls expenses on blogs & you’ll find it).

no truth in the rumour that he thinks the expences are better at Westminister
Jings I’m listening to Malik on Sky News. Absolutely nauseating. “I earned more in 1999 than I do as an MP, I’m not in it for the money…”
Malik roots are to found in the Quango and fake charity. From wiki:
Shahid Malik studied Business Studies at the South Bank Polytechnic in South London. He then worked with the East Lancashire Training and Enterprise Council, working on business development – a career which eventually took him to the job of chief group executive of Pakistan Muslim Centre (PMC), Sheffield and then as chief executive of Haringey Regeneration Agency in north London.
Hunt
working as a rent boy?
And being paid more than an MP. Crikey! That’s a lot of ten pence pieces he’d have to earn.
The rules weren’t clear…spend what you would spend… I spent what I spent…what limit….it’s a non-story!

As I’ve commented before, if UKIP come in ahead of Labour, Brown is toast.
Guido is 100 per cent accurate on the response we’ve been getting in the offices in London and Devon. So much so they are asking for extra volunteers to man the phones. Our activists are reporting a very warm welcome on the streets as well. This is going to be very interesting……
Can I ask Mr UKIP about what UKIP think about British Soldiers dying to protect the proft margins of the opium trade in Afghanistan?
Shouldn’t we bring them home so no more lives are wasted
Sorted
UKIP? Policies?
“British Soldiers dying to protect the proft margins of the opium trade in Afghanistan”
is best solved by leaving the EU.
And I haven’t even read the manifesto!
Bring all NATO troops home – nuke the place – no more Taliban, no more opium poppies – simples
Easy to solve all the problems relating to the Black Market in Drugs, set a fair price and buy all opium from the farmers – use it to produce drugs for the Pharmaceutical Industry.
Ditto Cocaine.
Result = Farmers get a crop that is reliable and can support their families.
Result no.2 = Try making heroin and cocaine without raw material, impossible or so uneconomical as to make it a waste of time. Nazis had to invent totally new analgesic (Methadone) when they lost access to opium supplies.
Good luck to you – and keep it clean LOL
Campbell-Bannerman, Stuart Agnew et al look class candidates in my region
interesting thursday evenings viewing , watching panel on Question Time feel the public anger , watching labour not do anything , watching fake labour drugs wear off people , bit of worry in the machine , labour polling 22% one of which is Lilley Allen “ill vote for gordon” not realising it is the lowest poll ever recorded for labour .
The guff and spin that labour has created finally comming home , the unaccountability , the need for a new committe or enquiry , chucking yet more money on somthing they should be sorting out.
I have some symapthy with notion that an mp should be paid so that it just doesnt allow the rich to carry out , but what about the dynasties , the selection commitiess rigged to get elite family friend in , ime all for getting good people into poltics who can do the job , but should a 19 yrd old benn get in , because she is a benn ??
seen gordons euro election launch “together in the heart of europe” useual generic words , verb plus verb plus noun , he could have made that speech at any point in his premiership , it wouldnt have meant anything , just purile blended , homogenius second rate pap .
i appreciate some may find Andrew Neil a bit like shaving with a stanley no4 plane , but he was the first to talk about the underclass forming , and tonight he almost pinned it , it is precisiely because labour have adopted this spiv spin , way of telling the public everything is alright , when in reality it was failing , the rule of stalin forcing the polit bereaus view on everyone and mind bending 3rd way propoganda .
i recall the post Northern Rock PMQs , cameron “the first time in 140 years that we have had run on bank” , any PM with any sense of the harm he had done would have resigned , but not this bunch of crooks , they them legislate for a life boat for the next tranch of bank failiures , yet not admitting that they had let the banks become greedy for political ends , to cover up the goverments spending by having a turbo charged economy .
having gambled and blown the motor they than come up with the dumbers line of “it was nae me” fooling the public , not telling the truth .
The mps are getting booed because they are having it large whilst they tell us we are going to have it small and then want us to believe it wasnt there fault .
the very least you expect a goverment to do is not bankrupt the country , and if they have an ideological change they should explain it and put it to the country , but labour have forced all this wonk crap on everyone , rigged parliment to become responsible lite , and then they wonder why they are getting booed .
the audience missed mings lame explanation as it got round to “well were not paid that much so we get the extra on expenses” i would call the best pension scheme a nice thing to be in, but they forget that cost .
its expensed politics breeding expensed quangrocracy and public have sussed it , they didnt vote for this hidden agenda , cant really blame them for wanting to put there vote with someone else .
A natural democratic correction is taking place and labour should let it happen , if they dont they will be finished not because of an unliked policy , but because of a hidden one which they thought the public would not see and there utter diesrepect for being honest with the public
Have a nice day y’all.

“There were further signs tonight of a backlash against MPs of all parties. A senior shadow minister, who has not been named by the Telegraph in its exposé of MPs’ expenses, was yesterday asked by county councillors not to campaign for next month’s local elections.
The shadow minister said: “The whole political class is in trouble. There are now no rules. We don’t know where this is going to end. It has the ring of the ‘clean hands’ affair in Italy.”"

Shahid Malik, his house and the slum landlord: MPs’ expenses
The controversial way in which Justice Minister Shahid Malik was able to run up the highest expenses claim of any MP can be disclosed by The Telegraph.
Have to say something, something that has nothing to do with anything of the above.
Was watching ‘This Week’ tonight and something came across that was so insidious it deserves repeating.
D Abbot, In the wake of the w*nk scandal the other week couldn’t help herself from attempting to dissolve the credibilty of the one guest who isn’t politically challenged.
I don’t care what anyone thinks about this particular girl (Andrew Sachs granddaughter), I DO care what D Abbot thought, She treat Her as the most low grade self inflicted retard as was possible to display a feeling for. I’ll say right now. F U, D Abbot.
I quite like D Abbot most of the time, but having a go in such a public way at someone expense who clearly doesn’t share D Abbots ideals is not the way forward.
I do think after watching this r*pe of a guest on BBC TV, that D A has her mind on something else and may well be out of touch with something the rest of us call reality.
D A what’s on your mind?
I’m starting to get seriously fucking pissed off hearing people going on about this division between claims that exhibit ‘qualitative greed’ (Sky) and those that are actually falling foul of the law. Are we suddenly going to start forgetting all the fucking outrageous claims for flat screen tvs, cinema systems etc just because they haven’t broken the law? I don’t like this false division talk starting to creep in. Is this the spin that trash Malik is going to churn out later? I keep hearing people talking about ‘expenses fatigue’ – with me its the opposite. I am actually getting angrier and angrier with each day.
On a different note – I never watch the debacle that is Question Time but did anything interesting happen last night?
D L George – I posted a reply to you instead of at the bottom but while I’m here I totally agree with your thoughts on DA. I have detested that woman for ages. She is a jumped up, self-important prat who should be working in a back office at Hackney Council. I often had the misfortune to see her out and about when I used to live in that neck of the woods. I don’t give a fuck what Sach’s granddaughter was like -the point is that Ross and Brand acted in a disgusting way and should both have been sacked without the chance to resign. It shows DA up for what she is.
And this Malik guy is the so called f’kin Justice Minister!
‘The Green Book is my Bible’? So not the Koran then? Better careful Malik, the Dewsbury Talibanny Brigade will have it up you ol’ son. Or do you pay them off with expenses?
I think that the Koran is often published in a green cover. Like this version:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1564016/Ed-Balls-claims-27000-subsidy-for-2nd-home.html

I hate it when they refere to cooper as Miss Cooper. She’s not she Mrs fucking Balls.
What we should do is build up a grass roots campaign and a huge protest, demanding a clean start. A new Parliament with a new approach. Use white as the symbol of the campaign. Aim for three simple things: all the current mob out, an end to the childish behaviours, and an end to the dishonesty (of all kinds). White would be good – we all know what the problems are; everyone would understand what “A Clean Start” means.

You probably don’t read the Grauniad much particularly the funny 15 years ago Mr Thomas but this is worth a look. I draw your attention to the last couple of paragraphs.

corrupt immoral lying self serving bastards Dear Queenie when are you to show courage and serve this nation with an ounce of your mothers humility and oust this rabble…………………………………
I hope this affair isn’t beginning to peter out.
I mean come on, Malik and Short, both odious shits but I was expecting something (someone) more juicy
Come on Telegraph have some big names to end this with!
WE DEMAND MORE
“Tebbit was right, UKIP look to be the big beneficiary of the revulsion at the expense scandals engulfing the three major parties.”
That he was right doesn’t make him a good person…
He’s a good person full stop. Always was. Its a shame his wife was maimed by the IRA, or I am sure he would have succeeded Mrs T, and we may not have got these Liebour scumbags in at all.
Agreed.
The best Prime Minister we never had.
Never any hint of scandal about Tebbitt. Hands it out straight. I’d vote for him.
The Penguin
Why is ‘trouserpress’ such a favourite of Al-beeb and Channel 4 news? Is he gay or is there some other reason?
Can’t work it out myself, but someone must know.
Probably because he is VERY VERY pro the European Project, and so are they.
Sky talking to this piece of trash Malik live at 8am.
Malik tells us he did nothing wrong.
Bollocks. Absolute bollocks.
This is a man who tried to claim ₤2600 for a home cinema system.
More New Labour scum.
This whole expenses debacle is like watching a car crash crash in ultra slow motion almost too painful to watch as Mps are taken out and metaphorically “put to the sword” by the public and media. Parliamentary business and the process of government is in paralysis at a time when the country faces one of the gravest economic crisis for a generation.,
Surely there can no longer be any argument for not calling a General Election to sanitize and disinfect the putrid stench emanating from Westminster – MPs of all parties have lost their electorates confidence and any mandate they and this Parliament had is fast dwindling away.The country cannot continue as it is for almost another 12 months.,Enough is surely enough. Only an election can assuage the growing public anger.
Brown will not of course call an election voluntarily – after all on these figures he and Labour stand to be wiped out electorally but that is not the point – the very political fabric of this country is being ripped apart piece by piece by piece and cannot continue without doing even more lasting damage.
Those MPs who have been found to have been over-generous in the interpretation of the allowances and expenses rules must face their constituents and face re-selection/de-selection(that includes ALL parties).If re-selected they must then fight an election to regain a mandate to govern from the country. This process needs to start now and be finalised by October when Brown or whoever is Prime Minister then must seek a Dissolution – until all this is done the affair will not be concluded and further MPs and Ministers will be forced to fall on their own swords or resign.
I regret to say that there is now no other solution available to our elected representatives that will placate the public’s anger
UKIP are useless and full of troughers as well.
They kick their piggies out – unlike Zanulabour.
Well there you go. Not a killer blow. but £600 a month on food….. Fcuking hell. Thats more than my mother pension.
Fuck them. I am self employed with a family and kids business is shite, clients not paying me cos they are going under etc etc. and I know what it feels like to have to tighthen the belt even to food shopping. Just ‘splurged’ £3.99 for a bottle of wine for me and the missus tonight – fucking luxury eh. Time for a massive pig cull in Parliament, starting with swine like Mr and Mrs fucking Balls.
I’m starting to get seriously fucking pissed off hearing people going on about this division between claims that exhibit ‘qualitative greed’ (Sky) and those that are actually falling foul of the law. Are we suddenly going to start forgetting all the fucking outrageous claims for flat screen tvs, cinema systems etc just because they haven’t broken the law? I don’t like this false division talk starting to creep in. Is this the spin that trash Malik is going to churn out later? I keep hearing people talking about ‘expenses fatigue’ – with me its the opposite. I am actually getting angrier and angrier with each day.
On a different note – I never watch the debacle that is Question Time but did anything interesting happen last night?
Mr Dimbleby chaired as ever, and secured his job in the post election BBC I think. If only the rest of his profession knew the public mood.
Thanks Anon. No surprise there I suppose. That programme is a joke – it must take them ages to cherry pick the audience.
I thought David Dimbleby behaved a bit like Michael Martin. Its entirely inappropriate for a chairman to lose his temper, get ratty, interrupt rudely. I’m not interested in his views about either the issues or the panelists.
He should be replaced by Simon Mayo.
Margaret Beckett was generally booed, the guy from McDonald’s was generally applauded, Theresa May looked tearful at one point, Ming stated the obvious (and was booed).
I propose a day’s outing for Guido bloggers to Question Time. We can get there if we all wear burkas.
Theresa May always looks tearful to me. She is a total liability, complete lightweight. I get the impression that she clucks around like a mother hen and her positioning came as a result of bullying the local association who put forward their mate.
She is crap, always off the point and besides which, more importantly, when I first saw her name I thought the tories had brought in the porn star of the same name. The first time I heard she would be appearing on TV I reached for the kleenex only to go all droopy over that sour old hag.
Fancy that!

Theresa May: mistaken for the star of ‘Lady Lust’
Theresa May, the education spokeswoman for the Conservative party, has spoken of the confusion sometimes caused by sharing a name with a porn star.
The politician, with a Home Counties constituency and a ‘county lady’ dress sense, has revealed that she has received invitations that were intended for a namesake – Teresa May, a ‘glamour model’ and dancer.
Steamy late-night chat shows, hoping to find the glamour model have invited the education secretary onto their programmes.
“We do get telephone calls from time to time from people wanting to book me to do programmes and so forth, which are perhaps not about politics, let me put it like that,” Theresa May told BBC Radio 4′s Today programme.
Among the channels mistakenly seeking an interview was Granada Men and Motors, said the MP, which had featured her namesake in ‘Lady Lust’, with Teresa May playing a nightclub hostess.
Although their first names have different spellings, the politician says that she has raised expectations among those assuming she is the other Ms May.
“It does also cause other problems. For example when my assistant left a pager message once for somebody to telephone me, the pager operator did get very excited as to who it might be,” said Theresa May.
Apart from the variation in spelling, the member of parliament for Maidenhead says that there are other ways in which they might be distinguished.
“I have a suspicion that if people saw us together there might be other distinguishing characteristics,” said the politician.
However, Theresa May said she was not judgemental about the career choice of her namesake.
“As far as I’m concerned it’s her life and she chooses to to earn her living in the way that she does. She may think it’s slightly strange that some people might like to earn their living as a politician.”
How embarrassing for the ‘glamour model’ Teresa to be mistaken for a politician.
PS. Warning: search results not NSFW!
…Theresa May, on the other hand, has two nip rings joined by a chain and when you pull it an MP3 breast implant plays Jerusalem. Hot stuff, I can tell you.

I’m not a tory, but, I’ve always liked Theresa May. This quote from above stands out…

And what about James Crappison?
As we thought Balls is a big time Flipper see the Telegraph NOW
We are now at war with our politicians. And about time too.
Shaede Malik feeding at the pig trough also.
Now see what he is like too here -
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5326333/Shahid-Malik-his-house-and-the-slum-landlord-MPs-expenses.html
Shahid Malik, his house and the slum landlord: MPs’ expenses
and here is his agenda
Scary! But even worse that B Brown thinks that this idiot is fit to be a Minister.
Balls-Cooper flipping now live.
and the second home is where they live?
Pay the money back and resign
Anyone else think this: The Telegraph is getting near the bottom of the barrel.?
Clare Short is a silly bitch, but she paid the over-claim back in full three years ago, for fucks sake.
I agree. There’s a danger of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Oh, throw it. The water’s so contaminated that the baby will die anyway.
The Polls this morning are fascinating, but pretty predictable given what has happened. Dan (the man) Hannan’s blog piece this morning makes interesting reading too.
The Euro election will be of great importance to the UK, perhaps one of our most important elections since 1945 – because as I see it,a two part election is to be fought out between June 4th 2009 and May 2010, provided MacDoom hasn’t come up with a suitable terror threat to suspend elections indefinitely, using the Civil Contingencies Act.
Part One is the European Elections on 4th June. This is the referendum on the European Constitution, sorry – the Lisbon Treaty. This is where the people of the UK, especially England, can decide now if they want to begin the process of recovering their sovereignty, laws, borders, fishing grounds and agricultural industries back from unaudited and corrupted Brussels. So protest voting against Labour is vital, voting for the Tories and UKIP is vital (despite cross party expense scandals), voting for the Greens is a strong pro-Europe socialist vote and voting for the BNP is well, desperate.
If the marker is not put down now and are Europhile politcal class put on notice that – among other things, we know that the corruption of our political classes was accleerated by Brussels as much as anything else (the “They’re all at it in Europe” defence) and that for the sake of our democracy and the country a withdrawal from the EU is not just desirable but essential. The Tories need this message sent to them too, en clair.
This is important because we must remind ourselves of the good old club rule that is enacted after every General Election in the UK, when the incoming government are generous and kind to their defeated opponents by giving them tickets on the Euro gravy train. Since 80% of our legislation is now made in Brussels, who in their right mind would elevate the likes of Balls, Cooper, Smith, Mandelson (OK, been there) and any of the rotten crew from a parliament that makes only 20% of our legislation – and completely buggers that up -to a commission which makes 80%. So come election night when the Portillo moments arrive in numbers, they won’t be too disappointed unless of course, something is done to put an end to it. That solution is to leave the EU. Simple, no ifs no buts. People will not believe the Euro-propaganda anymore, the EU has been a disaster for the UK.
Part two: since the Euro election should already begin to redefine the UKs relationship with Brussels – and the parties in the UK, the Augean reform should begin. In other words Parliament has then 11 months to clean up its act, sack and have prosecuted the worst offenders. The Tories should handsomely win the GE, with an overall majority around a 120 seat minimum. Cameron than has a probationary period of five years to restore the UK financially, socially, politically and culturally. But as this expense scandal has showed, a new breed of non-careerist politician is required – and step one will be to remove the temptation- that means leaving Brussels.
Re:276
Can’t disagree with a word of this, Minekiller. Live in hope I suppose.
If it is to happen, it’ll be a bruising fight. The new Europe-wide Soviet has been fifty years in the planning and execution, they will fight dirty. I sometimes worry that at a critical time, the majority of our population may fall victim to a nation-wide attack of the Stockholm Syndrome.
Wow what a longwinded piece of total bollocks,
The UKIP vote has collapsed, they are corrupt, they go to prison for corruption!their website is flatlining, their social networking bearly registers, they come behind the monster raving loony party!
As for the Tories being a Eurosceptic vote, helloooo – what are you smoking!
Dan Hannan is a phoney he claims he is anti Europe, yet gladly takes their shilling!
I think we can safetly place your post in the fiction section.
Minekiller: Spot-on! Me, I’m desperate!
Oh, the irony. People are (rightly) fed up with corrupt politicians, so they switch to UKIP? FFS! I really do despair of the electorate sometimes. Has no-one bothered to look up what the UKIP MEPs have been up to?
So are you suggesting that people should vote for the normal corrupt scum then?
Who is it exactly that the ‘Greens’ want to save the earth for ?
It certainly isn’t the human race, which their policies would be likely to wipe out.
Perhaps the lizards are planning to take over ?
Re: Malik interview – the key question that interviewers are failing to ask is ‘At any point, did you feel guilty about using taxpayers money to claim for these goods?’ My fucking head is exploding watching this trash. He’s fucking talking about the Bible now – WTF??? He’s getting an easy ride and he almost started trotting out the old ‘Its because I’m a ****** (fill in the blank)
I too have just watched Malik.
A scumbags scumbag.
The biggest advertisement for the unmentionables, who incidently are not in prison for fraud.
I know where my anti EU vote is going.
I know the one thing that will wake up Westminster collectively, far more effectively than voting for UKIP who have done B all in all the years they have troughed.
I know where my anti EU vote is going.
Am I the lucky recipient?
Malik and Labour are fucking toast.
Scumbags.
Did you expect anything else?
Does he ever shut up? One of the school of “I’ll keep talking loudly and get my point across”
Note to Malik – You’ve two ears and one gob – use them proportionally.
It’s indefensible what he’s doing.
How can you pay £85K for a flat and then claim £65K over 3 years in “maintaining it”?
I mean, come on. Even a mortgage at 5% rate on 100% of the capital would be around £13K over 3 years. What has the other £50 odd grand been spent on?
I’m sorry, but that STINKS!
Does he think it’s right that he could claim for an iPOD? Whether it was approved or not, does he honestly believe taxpayers would be happy to pay for his iPOD?
Beggars belief.
I also think to rent a house for £100 a week as his main home in his constituency is an insult to his constituents.
It says to me he doesn’t really care about that area and the living arrangements are only temporary. I’m sure if he loved Dewsbury that much he would have bought somewhere there.
I don’t know if others feel the same way as me, but I get more annoyed when they are claiming for goods rather than sevices.
£1500 to have your place painted? Yeah, I can kind of cope with that.
£2,600 for a home cinema system? Sorry, I really don’t agree with that.
Giving the money back to local causes? What? Your landlord mate? Someone should follow that story up.
And calling the green book “the bible”? Lol, if I was one of the PC brigade I’d be taking him up on that one.
Minister for Justice? Frightening.
Its because I’m a total Hunt (filled in the blank for you).
He is also a supremacist nut, as his ‘muslims will dominate parliament’ rant (documented on youtube) makes crystal clear. F’him, and all who sail with him.
Oh here we go Malik is using the race card. “Why pick on me” the fucking tools whines.
Yer coz they’ve been picking on Muslims all week haven’t they?
Fucking cnut
Yep – asking why he has been singled out for attention when there are over 500 MPs in the HoC. Says he doesn’t know why, but has to wonder……”, leaving unspoken the strong implication that it is because he is Muslim.
Yes, car crash television – this shows how Labour have absolutely lost control when you have fuckers like Malik showing their contempt for the electorate.
Labour are adept at using the “issue”. His Lordship Foulkes said in the week that the press “had it in for” Mr Martin. People know the truth, anyone is capable of milking the system if it’s there to be milked.
As mentioned elsewhere … Looks like DT scraping the barrel today.
However, perhaps they knew that the whining tones of Ms Short, and the strange whinging of Malik would press all the right buttons to improve what does on paper look like “an everyday story of troughing folk”.
I rekon DT are clever enough to have worked that out.
Talk about SPIN
Shahid MALIK on SKY
Sat in a broom cupboard, drinking from a cup with a George cross on and using the broadest Dewsbury accent possible. I suppose someone will fall for it.
Malik, shit makes me want to move to dewsbury just to vote against the arrogant shit, what a complete arse
Malik arsehole pushing Labour to below 20% most probably.
So you never saw the Youtube video of him at the Muslim Council of Britain Conference ranting on that – Inshallah, there would be a Muslim prime Minister of Britain in 30 years or so?….No Dewsbury accent either.
New Labour = The Enemy Within.
You can buy a 3 bedroom house there for £50k.
Probably not the worse place in the UK either!
No need to move. Just use a pack of postal votes – 20 or 30 should do it.

Excellent reporting Lonely Planet.
May I humbly refer Mr Malik to the The Shawshank Redemption. This will give a rough idea of the treatment he can look forward to in this fine institution.
Wonderful!!!. Please also send to Balls / Cooper (£310,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Hoon, McKay, Darling, Blears, Morley etc etc – or similar guide for the prisons in their areas – Oh and please don’t forget the illustrious Baroness!! Morning folks
Shame they got rid of the execution shed. I guess It’ll have to be lampposts then.
Lampposts would be too good for this foul bunch – bring back drawing and quartering with heads displayed on spikes at the gates to the city.
When is “I’m in it for as much as I can get” Martin going? – surely he can’t hold much longer – odious, immoral, grasping, thieving, man.
“I’m in it for as much as I can get ” will be their epitaph – come on Guido you need to write that book – it can be an ebook.
And look at Balls/Cooper £310,00!!!!!!!!!!!- odious immoral grasping thieving couple.
I’m angry
I’m so angry I missed off a nought that’s £310,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a fucking cnut
What i want to know is who the hell are the 22% that still support Labour. Surely they would have seen the light by now.
I hope we are facing the end of the Labour Party, in the same way that the end of the Liberals came after their landslide in 1910 (or something like that)
Maybe someone is paying the people to say they will vote Labour, as you know there is a lot of corruption out there.
The 22% were sought their opinion by postal poll.
Just endured Mr Malik MP on Sky, what an arrogant little man! no apology just hide behind the rules folks. If I donate to charity all will be fine and dandy. Have you ever heard such CRAP.
He’s a turd.
Great stats that put an end to any hope that Labour will have any kind of majority seating in Europe.
Looks like the “Brown shoots” have been too much for the British public to stomach.
Is this the end of Incapability Brown?
Britain has indigestion from too much Brown.
The good thing about this scandal is that it has totally discredited the shills and so called experts in the MSM who’ve been colluding with the lying whores at Westminster for years. These bastards were literally giving air cover to Brown and his crew as he ruined the country’s finances and the people’s rights, while MPs filled their boots. Sir Michael Shite, Steve Dickhards, Potty Polly, and Toenails Robinson – who really gives credence to anything these shoddy salesmen say now.
Guido has highlit what a bunch of cocksuckers the lobby are. The expenses stuff really underlines it.
The Penguin
Advise to Brown, put Malik back in his box quickly, it is attitudes like his that have got Labour where they are. A general election is needed urgently. Please Dave do something?
The BBC are moving heaven and earth to shield that dishonest common thief Malik, can you imagine the thieving bastard is a justice minister? Its getting more like Zimbabwe everyday.
The BBC gives more airtime to him proclaiming how innocent he is than detailing his obvious theft!
The BBC are doing the public no favours if they protect people like Malik, but people are not stupid and they don’t listen anymore to the BBC because they know which way they lean, they wear their “politics” on their sleeve.
The BBC have become the Country’s Lord Haw Haw.
How common. Malik claiming for a TV, ghetto blaster and massage chair. Prescott for pretend Tudor beams.
At leat the Tories claim for moats, tennis courts and Porticos, and the liberals claim for interior designers and bespoke leather armchairs
He got very indignant at the claim that his massage chair (very necessary in carrying out his job as an MP) cost £800. It was only £740 – as if that makes it OK.
He obviously favours the “Opik Defence” – who said on live radio ” I claimed £2,700 for a plasma TV which was thrown out by the Fees Office so I only bought one for £750 which was allowed!”
What Malik was trying to say was ‘That was a real bargain that chair”.
He’s probably e-bayed it for about £500 by now anyway. Oh sorry, of course not, he will have kept it becuase it’s wholly and exclsuivley for his job as an MP and does not look profligate in any way…………
Yes Im glad Malik cleared up the issue of the real price of the massage chair, so that makes it alright then, move along lessons have been learned, lines drawn blah blah blah
Yes I agree – this Parliament is paralysed. Only an election will allow us to move forward. There is no competent person left in government in whom we can have confidence – this ship of state is drifting without a rudder.
Yes Nell, the ship of state has hit the iceberg!
Cassius thinks we need an “Election of Clean Hands”
If our Politicians really don’t want the BNP getting more votes because of their light fingers, why don’t they do the decent thing and go to the Country?
http://cassiuswrites.blogspot.com/2009/05/we-need-clean-hands.html
I have always supported the “spoil your ballot paper” protest so I will be doing just that in the coming EU Elections.
I have had enough of “boy scout” euro politicians getting fleeced by the Euro Parliament at my expense.
Ukip Tory NuLab all the same, dishonourable untrustworthy and incompetent, why should I vote them into a job to stick it to me some more?
A wasted vote is a sensible vote I say!
You are so wrong! You’re just playing into their hands. If you don’t vote, all the usual scumbags will get in.
There are plenty of minority candidates to vote for. Greens, Jury Team, Monster Raving Loony (are they fielding candidates for the Euro elections?), UKIP (although they’re at it just as much as the big parties), and a good smattering of independents. If everyone who thought like you voted for one of the minority parties (it doesn’t matter which one, just get out and vote), that would really teach the big parties a serious lesson.
If you don’t vote, they’ll still be there, laughing at you.
The Greens are hardline left.
Vote Green get red.
That’s the spirit!
Let’s try and get our country back!
No, absolutely not. I’m suggesting that people vote for minority parties that don’t have a recording of troughing.
I’ll probably be voting Green (I may reconsider that if I find out that their MEPs have been at it as well), but there are other minority parties for those who don’t agree with their policies.
What we really need is a few more Martin Bells.
We’re all agreed, Brown has to go – so sign this:
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/please-go/

Malik is alright. I fink he farferd me 4th kid. May have been the sixth.
How can you tell?
The Penguin
Every skank in Dewsbury has at least one brown baby.
Is that politician chap on Sky TV making sure he claims up to the maximum expense limit on high tech toys, really the JUSTICE minister of Great Britain?
Have hundreds of thousandsof brave young men and women died needlessly in WW1 and WW2?
They didn’t die needlessly – that’s why we can give this lot a hiding at the ballot box next time. Or we can stand as a candidate and/or set up a party if we feel motivated to do so.
Continuing to die now in Afghanistan and having to use obsolete equipment because of lack of funds, whilst our leaders slosh around in goodies and dosh at our expense. I am incandescent with rage at the sickening greed.
The war in Afganhistan is a complete waste of life. Btter to strengthen UK borders and concentrate on security within Britain. The soldiers are giving their lives for nothing.
Yes. And he charged £40 on expenses for a court summons because he hadn’t paid his council tax…….. To repeat, the Justice Minister charged £40 ON EXPENSES for a court summons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And they send pensioners to jail for been unable to pay their council tax and eat at the same time. Then put all their families food on expenses. Fucking fucking fucking evil bastards.
Exactly, that the bit that makes my blood boil. Pensioners get nothing at all off their council tax, except the single occupiers discount that everyone can get.
Labour had twelve years to make these taxes fairer for the elderly and for those who work hard but don’t earn much.
So they did fuck all, while charging the taxpayer for the food that they and their children ate.
Claiming for food, while earning over 100k a year.
Words fail me.
Mrs Thatch did so much damage to the working class, people like me, that they need more time to put things right.
The ‘Bible’ Green book lays it down.
These are the key questions that EVERY interviewer should be asking of every MP: Did your claim take into account the following -
‘Claims should be above reproach and must reflect actual usage
of the resources being claimed.’
‘The requirement of ensuring value for money is central in
claiming for accommodation, goods or services – Members
should avoid purchases which could be seen as extravagant
or luxurious.’
‘Could the claim in any way damage the reputation of
Parliament or its Members?’
‘How comfortable do I feel with the knowledge that my claim
will be available to the public under Freedom of Information?’
It took me 2 minutes to find this on the net – can no interviewer find it?
EXACTLY. It seems that Malik got a ridiculously easy time and these questions should have been asked. It seems to me that trotting out ‘It was within the rules’ is actually wrong. Those points are listed as ‘Fundamental Principles’ in the Green Book. That looks to me like rules.
The “system” is not vague and confusing and the “Rules” are very straightforwrd. It is the MP’s who are bent !
ps Malik says he is as straight as THEY COME … meaning we are all at it ??
Balls & Cooper, constituencies next door to each other, both earning a salary of £141,866 each, plus expenses of £84,000(over 3 years) just for second homes.
That could eradicate a lot of poverty in Africa, couldn’t it?
Make poverty history, remember that slogan? and featured even in an episode of the “Vicar of Dibley”. I’m sure all the money that Blair and his wife are now amassing is going to go to make poverty history in Africa. Empty slogans , empty gestures.
But any way, I wonder what the little people in their constituencies think of that? Are you out of work now and can’t find a job to support your family? Having trouble paying your mortgage? Can’t even heat your home? It’s nice to know that your MP’s fully understand your predicament and that they are on your side.
Once those socialists got their hands on power, they did exactly the same as they accused the others of doing.
I forgot to add
“Mr Balls and Miss Cooper submitted regular claims for food, usually totalling up to £600 a month” – can’t afford your meals on wheels love? , never mind you can watch us eat ours. Fucking disgraceful
I thought Ed was putting on weight, must be pigging out on foie gras.
Yeah, I thought they made a big thing of always being together as a family. £600 notes, must have been their complete food bill! Troughing hoons
They clearly dont eat as well as the greedy bastard Robinsons..£800 a month between Peter and Iris.
Peter’s on the radio saying thats only an average of £73 a week…so its great value really.
Greedy fucking Hunts.
plus £159000 of mortgage interest payments as well.
(Then they have their Stormont allowances too)
“Once those socialists got their hands on power, they did exactly the same as they accused the others of doing.”
Not quite the same, the “others” did not claim to be the peoples “friend” while systematically stealing from them, the “others” did not ponificate endlessly about their moral superiority on all matters “caring” while corrupting, debasing and politisising everything, the “others” did not pretend to be the protectorate of the working class, while at the same time betraying them completely.
The “others” in all honesty, despite their well documented failures, were not complete liars, hypocrites and frauds, unlike socialist champagne elitists, who are guilty of all of the above.
The “others” were not all traitors either.
Thats why I dont get upset at Sienn Feins claims, as we expect them to rip the piss out the British State, they dont pretend otherwise.
A British soldier gets blown up in Afghanistan and Malik moanining on and on and on…..?
Malik is a twat. A first class twat. He’s an arrogant prick. A spiv.
‘I’m not in it for the money, I’m as straight as they come’
Sure thing, you’re in it to get a mu slim into No10 and Shira into the UK Law Courts. And while you’re doing it you’ll sup the gravy, just like all the others.
Malik believes himself to be more important than a soldier in Iraq. Where is the “justice” he is supposed to represent?
Yes, and he will pay the money he claimed for the TV to a charity of his choice
He doesn’t seem to understand that the money he claimed is Public Tax money, and therefore he should not be able to decide which charity to pay money to that he agrees he claimed against the spirit of the allowance system
Pay the money back and resign, then maybe the MoD can afford up to date equipment to try to prevent dying squaddies
…I hope to see Malik on the road of the parade when the soldiers body returns
Fat chance as you wont see ANY Government minister on that road. Poor photo opportunity you understand.
What do I think of British Premier Gordon Brown? He’s a fucking lightweight!
Very harsh – WE all know that he’s working tirelessly for “hard-pressed British families”! and by the way – “It STARTED in America!” Mr Brown is always telling us this when we bring in his 11am “Hob Nob”!
Friday morning update. More doom and gloom – for Labour in the main
Poor Gordon!
I think you mean poor country!
More doom and gloom?
Time for a quick shit sandwich for Gorgon and watch out for the airborne Nokias.
I am of the opinion that the best way to get the results that I want (less and less and eventually out of the EU) would be to vote UKIP.
I have no doubt that they are as bad as the three main parties and wouldn’t waste a vote in a G.E., but the best way to show the main parties how much the public don’t want the EU is to vote for them.
Discuss.
Don’t pity him !
He had a report warning about this abuse two years ago and did nothing( in fact he should be known as the Prime Do Nothing Minister) – he is incompetent and incapable of taking a decision.
He’s going to go down in the anals of history as the Worst Prime Minister ever and his government will be recorded as the most costly, venal, useless, grasping government we have ever seen. We need an election Now!
Meant to post at 359!
I agree. No party is perfect. No party can completely represent my views. No party is beyond corruption. All I can hope for is that the issues about which I feel most strongly are addressed in some way. The main parties have spectacularly failed to do this so I will vote according to those issues that I feel are threatening this country. I believe and hope that others will do the same and I do not like the line that is being trotted out that people will fail to turn out and vote. I think that they would rather people did not vote than go out and vote for UKIP or BNP as this would be such a spectacular rejection of their policies of the last 12 years. If people do not vote they can trot out the same old lines about being disillusioned with politics. I would say that its the opposite and that people are becoming more ‘political’ with every new revelation. They want their voices to be heard.

Apologies – I posted twice because it was being moderated.
UKIP is itself vulnerable on the issue of politicians’ expenses, given that Ashley Mote, a UKIP MEP, was imprisoned in 2007 for falsely claiming £65,000 in welfare benefits. Last month another UKIP MEP, Tom Wise, was charged with false accounting and money laundering over allegations that he misused nearly £40,000 in expenses.
UKIP is an establishment construct – a safety-valve party, designed to absorb the anti-EU votes away from the B NP.
Although the grass-roots members have good intentions, the fact that the clueless and useless Farage and his cohorts in Bruxelles have gone native – even to the extent that they receive funding from the very organisation they purportedly oppose – and the fact that they have been rumbled by the electorate, often receiving just single or double figure votes at by-elections, it is time they wound up their operation, if only to give them some credibility for their belated honesty at being a wasted vote.
Good Riddance. Watch for the Greens being positioned to replace them.
As for ‘the false smile of the B NP’ – with the state of the nation as it is, they are not smiling but are angry that this nation-destroying government, ably assisted by the treasonous, EUrophilic Tories, LibDems and UKIP, are at war with their own people and we should look much closer to Westminster and Brussells to see who the real Nazis are.
All the evidence is there.
The EU Constitreaty gives any aspiring despot more powers than Hitler got from his Enabling Act and, hidden in a footnote of footnote in there, the EU State can legally execute its citizens.
Who was it who said that fascism will return again in the guise of anti-fascism?
How very apposite.
Utter bollocks. So presumably ANY political party that has convicted politicians shouldn’t be trusted? That’s the Tories fucked then.
Why shouldn’t UKIP be given a go? Can they do any worse than the tools we have now?
Ex-small businessmen. who arent running their small businesses any more?
UKIP, now let me see, if my memory can be jogged, is that the party that had a “chat show host” leader?
UKIP has had plenty of ‘go’ and acheived nothing but gain such expertise on the gravy train at least one is in prison for it.
I was a member of UKIP when Farage gained power by a very questionable ‘palace coup’.
At least one member of the British intel was in evidence.
Ukip is a totally useless conduit for the anti-Eu votes, set up by the elite and rolled out each Euro election to stop other minor parties who may have some effect on things, from gaining any seats.
They are an establishment ‘con’
If you want to waste your vote – for the the trash can. UKIP
And is that really so harsh, not to trust the Tories because they have a few convicts among their ranks?
That’s good enough reason for me not to trust them. And it’s a pretty sad comment on the state of British democracy if you’re seriously saying that they are basically trustworthy because only a couple of them have gone to jail.
There is little doubt in my mind that UKIP is being put forward by the Establishment as the recipient for protest votes. The BBC is ‘bigging them up’ as is seen on reports on the minor parties especially when the (dread ‘n’ horror) BNP is mentioned.
I know evil when i see it…………Fcuking cnuts
Sorry i was the Pope but Ive flipped my second home
If Brown does not sack Malik, then he will turn his certain election defeat into the biggest defeat ever suffered by a political party.
Since when did a green book become “the Bible”?.
When people believe they are God!
Why is the BBC protecting Cooper and Balls – Radio 4 9.00am news bulletin – not a dicky bird about them, just about Malik making a “robust defence” and the Tax Payers’ Alliance preparing to sue MPs.
While Labour MPs have been so punctilious about claiming for every last benefit on their expenses, our soldiers in Afghanistan are still having to cope with insufficient and inadequate kit (and after more than 7 years of war).
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8051207.stm
How the fuckers sleep at night I really do not know.
They sleep at night because they have fantastically comfortable beds, paid for on expenses.
Malik – “it’s all a bit of a non-story”
They just don’t get it, do they? All that trough-snaffling has made them deaf and blind to public outrage.
Fucking cnut unfuckingbelievable.
Fucking Malik ‘I wAnt to be first Muslim Prime Minister. Fucking hoon.

Its cultural differences that we see in action
You cannot expect non europeans to abide by the sames rules, it is the same as the celts they see things very differently
We need modern rules that have investigated all cultures and cultural history, so we have a new modern European set of rules
I think Mr Malik must be glad he lives in England as in some places in the world he would be having his hand chopped from his arm
Just had a bit of a revelation (yeah, I know I’m really slow!)
I mentioned before in my post about Malik that I find the TV purchases more offensive than say Letwin’s busted pipe or Hogg’s moat.
Why is that?
Letwin’s pipe HAD to be fixed. If he hadn’t claimed it on his expenses, then he would have HAD to pay it out of his own pocket. Ditto with Hogg (I’m trying to pick the most outrageous Tory claims here).
I’m sure Hogg spends a good amount of his own money (on top of his claims) maintaining his second home.
Would Malik have paid £2,500 for a home cinema out of his own pocket? Blimey he’s so tight he pays less rent than Baroness Udders!
Watch for Malik’s home being flipped soon. If he’s spent £67K on an £85K flat it must be a palace! Imagine the CGT he faces when he flogs it!
The big winners should be Libertas, at least they dont come with all the baggage of the other parties
Democracy,Transparency and accountability are the watch words.
Vote Libertas on June 4th and get a clean party that fights foe a new europe
Libertas!!!!!
Excuse me whilst I laugh.
An old Labour Hack who then ditched UKIP.
I didn’t know it was still going.
This lot are real useless troughers.
Try and open them a bit more and see what’s really happening
What if useless Ukip do well out of public anger next month?
Ukip will still be useless.
I watched another snout in trough this morning on Sky News trying squirm out of his responsibilities. Shahid Malik, the dodgy second home MP for Dewsbury. He even complained when asked about a £800 massage chair. It wasn’t £800 he replied it was £730 – oh that’s okay then, best to be pedantic.
Why has this particular snout been able to claim for a massage chair (because he had a bad back) when anybody else has to pay for such things out of their salary!
Oh, and he came up with the usual ‘chip on shoulder’ often heard by certain people. “I don’t know why they are picking on me,” he bleated. And that’s after the Daily T has revealed scores of other MPs as pigs in trough.
And he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew their house down – if only!
Did you hear Malik being interviewed on Sky News last night? The man is unbelieveable.
How dare we question his integrity! Its ok to expect the taxpayer to fork out for a £2,600 home cinema – its in the rules you see.
He (and many others) just don’t seem to understand how much they have pissed us all off.
Let Malik complain. It only makes things worse for Labour and mainstream politcians in general.
This is not the first time Sky presenters have been told by polititians this week that they don’t do their jobs properly, and are not getting the facts right. His Lordship Foulkes told Charlotte Hawkins how useless she was the other day, hadn’t done her research. The problem in the past in parliament has been the Speaker and his cronies won’t permit such research, they would rather you know nothing. Thank God for press freedom in Britain.
V for Victory.
The political parties only have themselves to thank and blame. Corruption speaks in volume.
Are those hands photoshopped in?
Wondering why the Police don’t seem to want to get involved? Wonder why the Police won’t investigate MP^s Expenses?
Would take a very senior policeman to order that.
Probably depends on who rubber-stamped their appointments.
They are very short of resources in the police force. The police are hoping a General Election will be called and then the police will not be need.
UKIP????- another bunch of fraudster and no-users??? NO THANKS!!!
What has become of us as a Nation?
Soldiers die because the government does provide enough money to buy them flak jackets.
The justice minister claims for a state of the art home cinema system and whinges when it becomes public knowledge. Ah diddums Poor lad.
But he is donating the money he claimed “legally from the txpayer” to charity, hasn’t said which charity, so that makes everything ok, he is taking the “mick” out of people surely. Brown will definately need to send protection for this fellow.
I am waiting for Brown to suspend this guy. Anyone betting on this?
Not until he has consulted his morning committee on how many breaths a minute he needs to take.
Brown is too slow to catch “swine flu”, let alone fire someone. He has had weeks to get rid of Jaqui Smith, what has happened…nothing, so there you are, more inaction from “Non-Action Man”.
Brown is still dealing with the repeal of the corn laws.
Shaid Malik is shouting his mouth off, he’s done nothing wrong. Arogant prick says he’ll donate the £1,000 cost of his plasma to a local muslim charity.
Latest Gordon Brown vid:
http://thecrownblogspot.blogspot.com/2009/05/vote-no-to-gordon-brown.html
A muslim charity? That wouldn’t be an absolutely desperate attempt to drum up some support from the local muslim community, now would it?
He has also had a go at playing the race card.
I know this scandal has exposed some shameless behaviour from our politicians but Malik is from the ream of the crop.
Fucking scumbag
Some MPs are still in denial, notably prominent NuStasi’s who are still trying to spin the “media witch-hunt” line.
Seeing how angry the audience were on QT last night – a programme that usualy manages to stuff its studio full of NuLab supporters – was a wake-up call for Becket, who looked visibly shocked at the constant shouts of abuse.
The sad thing is that people like her are so insulated from the public they have no idea just how angry people are at their trough-slurping antics.
But, come the elections, they are going to find out bigtime.
Memo to labour MPs: Time to start looking for a new job. If anyone will have you.
See you at Tescos, stacking shelves?
Shahid “I can sleep easy at night” Malik is Labour’s rising star – says it all!
I wonder what he is putting in his cocoa?
Don’t underestimate the B NP vote. Many people don’t tell pollsters they’re going to vote for them. Their Euro vote is more likely to be around 7% and Labour’s even less than YouGov found.
Mr Malik just boosted the B NPs polling beyond their wildest dreams with that Sky interview.
Someone who most had never heardof and most would have forgotten by lunch time is now part of mainstream public debate. Gordon is losing control of the lsbour propaganda machine.
Brown has never had a propaganda machine, Brown has a mono sentence for the people “I am getting on with the job”.
Have I got this right – both Wintertons claimed rent on the same flat and got away with it?
And the taxpayer bought their ironing board and iron.
Leaches doesn’t cover it.
Shahid Malik still thinks he’s going to be the first muslim prime minister.
He probably will be. Dhimmification is rife in the UK.
Every successful Prime Minister of Great Britain has possessed humility, I think Mr Malik falls down in that department along with his boss Brown.
Well there is only one party who may do something about it.
Malic has a secret agenda, he used the populist muslem labour vote to gain power, his aim is to impose sharia law and ultimatly turn us into a muslem state.
Yes Libertas
Times have changed, blogging allows the people to vent their anger without leaving home. In the “old days” people would get some banners and march to Downing Street, like they did over the oppostion to the poll tax. Stronger action is probably needed to remove Brown and his Brownies from Downing Street, they need to know that the people want a general election so I suppose a peaceful march will be needed.
Kilroy-Silk!!!!!!
Ha Ha
Balls and Cooper exposed in today’s Telegraph. Flipped three properties in just 2 years:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5325590/Ed-Balls-and-Yvette-Cooper-flipped-homes-three-times-MPs-expenses.html
Is that all the Telegraph have?
£600 every month for the Balls family food bill. I wish someone would feed me free from Waitrose.
why was Shahid Malik interviewed in a broom cupboard ?,michael.
The same reason why he kept drinking from a Mug with a George cross on it.
The same reason why he kept sipping from a mug with a g eorge c ross on it.
Appearances are everything, he is trying to look “working class”
Fucking unbelievable cnut.
It’s all within the rules; anyway, accountancy is n’t our strongest suit over here in the Justice Ministry trough
I wonder if Hazel will sit next to Mandy at the next cabinet he could tell her about how to avoid CGT?
Just a thought, but when Mandy resigned the first time, one of his many problems was the appearance of avoiding GCT by selling fixtures and fittings as a separate item when offloading a property.
It now occurrs to me that maybe I paid for those fixtures and fittings?
Could someone ask if this practice is now widespread? The whole thing of getting me to buy some fittings and them selling them on is a bit strong. We need a journo to trace the buyers… see if this is what happens.
No point writing, unless you agree the post is lost.
Malik’s expenses are an embarassment. Why bother living in in the house at all.
Not an embarassment to him, apparently.
Yes why not make it a hideaway for circle wank jocks like McBride and Draper?
Anarchy in the UK
30 years late but you fucking creeps are fucked, ha ha!
Still hope yet
Nothing to hide.
Fucking cnut.
I sent this email to Mr Malik, I will copy his reply (if I get it)
Dear Mr Malik
I read the article in today’s Telegraph and listened to you on the Today programme. I am fascinated to know why a 40″ plasma TV costing £2100 and a Cinema system are necessary to enable you to stay in your second home, I get by very well with a 28″ TV that cost £499 that receives the Parliament channel perfectly well so can see no reason at all why the taxpayer should have contributed one penny To quote the Green Book. “Only those costs wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred to enable you to stay overnight away from your only or main UK residence, either in London or in the constituency.”
Likewise your main home in Dewsbury; does Paul or anyone else other than yourself live in your main home during the week and if you don’t pay £100 a week for the house how much do you pay? Don’t just deny the Telegraph guess produce a copy of the rental agreement and while you are at it produce bills for groceries and other expenses brought in during the Parliamentary recess to prove to the Telegraph that Dewsbury is indeed your main home.
I look forward to your reply with the relevant facts.
Yours
i can read speek do stuff me. im fuccing worth every peny.
If I discover that the Beckett woman has ever done anything useful for the people of this country then I will be prepared to reconsider my personal view of what should be done with her, which is unprintable – even here.
A number of farmers committed suicide as a result of Beckett’s and DEFRA’s handling of the ridiculous Single Farm Payment system. She comprehensively mismanaged her responsibilities to the extent that it cost lives of real, productive people. Damn her to hell.
You cannot say that about her as she is a woman!
I watched Brown’s launch of Labour’s European Election Campaign on television and I thought – just who does this guy think he is kidding? There he was droning on in his inimitable way, boring the pants off everyone with his irrelevant twaddle, whilst Rome is not simply burning, it has burnt to a cinder, with Parliamentary democracy itself shaken to the very foundations. And there was Brown, Blears and Smith alongside him, droning on. Now if he had sacked Smith, McNulty and Blears by now…….
God save the Queen and her bolshevik regime
On BBC 24 – has two home cinema systems – identical systems.
Fucking scumbag.
Won’t Malik be getting a fatwah in the post. Calling Parliament’s green book “THE BIBLE” isn’t going to go down too well in Dewsbury mosque.
Ah, but they can’t speak English………….
I’m voting UKIP. I confidently predict within a decade the British people will be stringing these corrupt bastards from lampposts. I am not joking. A seismic shift is occurring in this country. The situation is out of hand. The architects of the coming catastrophe will be held FULLY accountable. You think people are pissed of now? When people have nothing to loose: they loose it!
Then waste your vote.
They are an establishment trash can to attract the anti EU vote – harmlessly.
They have done bugger all in all the years they have troughed in Brussels.
They are a huge ‘con’.
I know I was a member.
so who will you vote for then? the main parties?!!! the ones that denied the promised referendum? no thanks.
very surprising but everyone i’ve asked is voting ukip. the public is sick to the back teeth of moneygrubbing pigs with an animal farm sense of entitlement.
i hop ukip do really well because it might for once make politicians listen to the public.
No future UK
‘They made you a moron, a potential H bomb’
Don’t know about UKIP, but check out the norks at 31mins 40s in http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/question_time
Well, who’s next? Anyone got an inkling? And is that it for Balls/Cooper? If so I’m a bit let down. Was hoping for a front page spread DT….
Are you disappointed they only claim £600 every month for food? Would you like to pay them more?
I wish I had a job where somebody else pays everything for me and me and the missus still get paid £144,000 each.
I know you’re right, but almost tedious now – the same old flipping and scoffing …Just wanted something even more explosive…making them stand out from the rest…..
Don’t forget the tax free scam!
Free the Tax Scam One!
Malik isn’t paying it back…
Police probe. Of the anal kind, please.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5328311/MPs-expenses-Shahid-Malik-refuses-to-pay-claims-back.html
Ripping off kaffirs is encouraged in the Koran. Dhimmis are too stupid to stop it.
So is lying to the “non believers”.
He’s donated £1000 to a local muslim charity with my money.
Probe? This is a Taser job.
Iza disgrace da way he wus HOONded out of office.
Izit cos ‘e is muslim?
Balls and Cooper are paid £300,000 pa between them but we taxpaysrs are stil paying for their food every month:
“Mr Balls and Miss Cooper submitted regular claims for food, usually totalling up to £600 a month……..”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5325590/Ed-Balls-and-Yvette-Cooper-flipped-homes-three-times-MPs-expenses.html
As for Malik, there’s nothing wrong with ripping off the kaffirs, it’s in the koran, innit!
Could there be a better time for a popular tax revolt to get underway? Strike while bastards can feel the ground shaking under their feet. Is it too much to dream we could have things on our terms?
Why? They haven’t done anything wrong. It’s all a lot of fuss about nothing.
It must be, because I’ve just heard someone on BBC Radio 5 say so.
Tax strike until there is an election? Great idea, when do we organise?
It’s MR. Malik to you dhimmi scum!
How pathetic that when there is all this justified outrage about mainstream politicians robbing the taxpayer, ConservativeHome choose to launch some stereotyped atack on the B NP.
Tim Montgomerie just doesn’t get it.
He’s probably closet UKIP.
The trouble is nothing is happening.
Yes politicians are all a***ing about as the country goes down the toilet.
Yes everyone is furious, but we are just as useless.
As someone pointed out we are venting our spleen on blogs, letters, screaming at TV except a few lucky ones last night on QT who got rant in person.
No one will organise an actual protest because usually there’s someone to do it anti poll tax, anti capitalist etc gets the left out, anti hunting etc gets right going.
This is anti politician of every hue, so we don’t have a core group of ready made organisers.
Instead of the biggest demo we might ever see we’ll just get the ballot box on June 4th when everyone is going to either vote madly or not vote at all, then it’ll be pretty much summer recess
end result = politicians still win, system still same
Coronation Streets on soon.
Look into my glare, not around the glare, look into my glare
3…2…1 and yer under.
Brown hasn’t got the balls to sort out Malik and hasn’t got the Maliks to sort out Balls.
Could nt we send a few troughing MPs here during their loooong Summer Recess for some waterboarding ??
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6291650.ece
Why cant we see a full list of expenses from our UK MEPs?
I’d just like to mention the name ‘Kinnock’ here.
Yes; that’s both the Lord and also Lady Kinnock at the Europe Trough
Isn’t there a Kinnock Junior in there somewhere?
Thought it was about a quarter of a mill each?
I nevva voted for him, so how come he’s got a job dishing out laws? Also, he was useless and he condoned mass fraud at the EU. Is that the same bloke?
Kinnock Jnr works for the British Council and I think is married to another MEP
Troughers of the world unite !!! You have nothing to lose except your self-respect.
Labour can’t sack Malik – they would lose their only remaining voter base, the Muslims.
They’d still have the paedophiles.
AND DRUG ADDICTED BURGLARS
I would ask to be tried and sentenced under sharia law please.
My hands were never in the jar, honest.
I see you’ve already played the race card. Let’s see if it still works.
Time to clear the pig pen as Mr Malik does not like piggies (or women or gays, or Christians or anyone who does not bow down to allah) he can have his throat cut in accordance with the book he follows – eg no stunning before just a nice beardy chap slicing away after saying a few ‘prayers’ for him. See, I support multiculturism.
The only way you can clear out this sort of islamic pig-pen is to vote for a party willing to tackle it.
He will be taking votes at the General election in hand packages of 100 a time.
None of the big three will do even a sweet fanny adams.
I’ll quite happily pay your air fare to Saudi in order to accommodate a sharia trial – with a bit of luck you’ll end up with both hands in a jar – a pickling jar.
Justice Minister who ran up the highest expenses claim defends himself and insists he will not pay the money back to authorities
Asked why he needed to spend £730 on a massage chair, Mr Malik said it was a “legitimate expenditure” that he was allowed to make.
I’ll give him a fucking massage – in a concrete mixer.
I thought I could not be more outraged.
The knowledge of just what scumbag is in charge of British justice appalls me.
No wonder the justice system is an utter travesty.
Is this piece of useless devious pond life responsible for allowing the Labour corruption (selling peerages etc) to be conveniently and repeatedly thrown out by the CPS.
This is a national disgrace. The man is the worse kind of slimey trougher, even claiming a court summons on expenses, and Brown allows him to be “Justice Minister”. What on earth is going on – next thing you know someone will tel me that the Home Secretary has been making false declarations about where she really lives and expenses claims for items like sinks and bath plugs.
An election might clear out the rabble, but it looks more like we need a revolution or a coup to me….

well that explains the need for two home cinema systems , wide screen 3d porn! shame they didn’t find a claim for tampons for this one!
Caroline Flint is a legitimate tampon user.
Dan Hannan is my euro m.p. Just wish I could trust the conservitives to get us out of the e.u.
You sucker
Cons brought us into the EU and are as up its arse as much as the Libs and Labour – in Europe not run by Europe bullshit.
Vote UKIP.
What’s with all the anti-Muslim comments? When this blog has been in the news before, I’ve heard politicians say it shouldn’t be taken seriously because the people who post here are just small minded little racists. Please don’t play into their hands.
Yes, Malik is a Muslim and he’s been troughing. Plenty of other people who weren’t Muslims were troughing too. His race or religion is totally irrelevant here.
DofM2
Just because politicians say something does nt make it true.
In fact quite the reverse is likely to be correct.
So we should ignore the fact that so much of our corruption seems to emanate from the sub-continental imports? Vaz, Uddin, Ahmed, Malik? All the postal voting scams?
The Penguin
I think a good few white MPs were making fraudulent claims too.
It’s OK for them to bleat but it’s not alright for us to comment.
That’s the whole fucking problem!! He says what he wants and we can’t respond. Good, eh?
No, it’s not OK for scumbags like Malik to bleat. I just don’t think it’s appropriate to be drawn down to his level.
I’m not a rascist, I treat all peoples of colour and creed the same, by their action and merit. Is lam is not a race, it is a religion, one I abhor, thus I dislike a majority of Mu slimes who enthuse and pro Mu slim agenda to the exclusion of everything else – I do not care for which race, colour, or creed they are or from which county they are from.
A fundamental problem is this continuation and promotion of being anti-religion as being racist. On one level it’s poor use of language, on another it’s used to tar and feather a great deal of good peoples concerns with where this country and the world in general is going.
Fair enough DisgustedOfMitcham2, would agree with what you said. I was merely trying to explain why it is that some of the more joking responses made reference to his religion. I too don’t care where the the gits are from, I want them out of parliament.
I’m not racist. I’ll race any fucker.
Well it is him, not us, who makes a song and dance about his religion. Ever seen the youtube vid of him going on about a muslim pm?
The man is a fool and yet got to high appointment. I wonder why?
Maybe he does make a song and dance about it. That’s no reason to stoop to his level.
He was fiddling his expenses because he’s a thieving bastard. Simple as that. I don’t care whether he’s Muslim thieving bastard, a Christian thieving bastard, or a Jedi thieving bastard. He’s still a thieving bastard.
I am staggered by the support the BNP has in the large social housing projects located in the conurbation to my immediate east.
It is a Guardianista myth that the under class don’t want to work. The Guardianista dehumanise them.
It’s a sad indictment against our political system that voters will be forced to support a bunch of moronic and equally fiddling clowns like the UKIP mob in order to show their disgust at the antics of the criminals in the main parties. This is a wake-up call to the party leaders – cleanse your hives of all those whom the general public regard as scumbags or you will be nowhere in the future and I mean NOWHERE!
Why were Blairs receipts shredded? Can anyone shed any light on that?
Because they were only 45 minutes away from the printing presses.
Thanks Tony.
It was an unfortunate clerical error. What they actually meant to do was shred the minutes of the cabinet meeting where they discussed WMDs.
Because they were exceedingly dodgy. Start with his remortgaging for several hundred thousand a property he bought for £30k so he could get the taxpayer to pay the interest to fund his property portfolio.
THE MAN IS AN UTTER SCUMBAG.
THE SCUMBAG IS A NUTTER, MAN
Malik steps down as Justice Minister
Has anyone else noticed that the BBC keep lumping UKIP in with the BNP as an “extreme” party?
Since when did national independence and voting for those who make our laws become “extreme”.
Have never noted before in a European election, think I’ll go UKIP to upset the establishment though. Anyone got a better suggestion? Voting for Cameron seems to be just voting for staying in the EU.
ps check out this review of Marta Andreasen’s new book:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/5301009/A-look-in-the-EUs-unbalanced-books.html
ukip IS THE ESTABLISHMENT.
Vote for the other – that is the people they are really terrified of. They will change things and work to pull out of the EU.
They are the party who has not been implicated in fraud.
agreed. UKIP is some VERY long grass into which your outrage is being steered by the same establishment the former party ostensibly wants to shake up. Five years in Brussels to what effect so far?
All M.P’s should be paid a salary that takes into account
how far they travel each week and if they justify accommodation
nearer London, and couple this to the mean average it cost to
run their office for a year. We would see then just how prudent
they could be as we are in the real world having to switch lights
off , make fewer journeys and even skipping meals!
Perhaps some of the empty offices (including an entire block in
Victoria could be converted to modest flats for the weekday MP’s
and other essential workers such as nurses and rail staff etc!
If Nigel Farage was successful in getting us out of Europe this too
would stop the gravy train passing through the Channel tunnel as
well as other funds hemorrhaging that way too!
Next months elections should also enable us to scrutinize the dead
wood in local government and make councils a little more accountable
for their costs from within so more can be spent on essential services!!
Malik out- good riddance greedy Hunt!
Nothing says “Vote QPR” to me more like being told “Don’t vote QPR”

UKIP appear to be rather cosy with the established parties, the Greens are dangerous loonies.
Labour/Cams Tories/ Lib Dems all pro-Europe.
Who does this leave us with???
BTW – Malik is a piss taking (amongst other takings)cheeky fucker!!!
The uk need to get the hell out of the EU ss r
and the only way that will happen is for the uk to vote for ukip on june 4th ps try Googlin EUSSR it got a net block i.e BANED
Worked okay for me.
How are they cosy to them? Not arguing, just want some links/info? I would have thought the major party leaders would all have a heart attack if UKIP won? Am I wrong?
All I really care about is getting out of the EU and I’ve decided I’ll vote next month in whatever way will help that most. I would have thought that was UKIP but people keep suggesting otherwise…? Confused!
The main benefit of a UKIP success in the European elections will be to increase the pressure on the Tories to take action to reduce the control the EU already has over us, not just talk about it. A referendum on Lisbon would be a good start.
If the politicians won’t give us a referendum on Lisbon, we can give them one. Make the European elections our referendum. Look carefully at what the various parties say about whether they would hold a referendum on Lisbon, and vote accordingly. Show the politicians what we think of the EU.
Rather convenient how UKIP’s profile suddenly rose on the BBC last week just as all this belated outrage at the Political Class was being loaded into the VT machine at television centre. They’ve already had 5 years with a good few MEPs to little discernible benefit to the country they ostensibly want to prise from the grip of Euro-communism and Post-Marxism.

Just listened to some Zanulabour twat describe UKIP as an ‘extremist’ party on that bastion of impartial broadcasting the BBC. This from a party that wants to ID card us and take our DNA for overfilling our bins all at the behest of their masters the EU.
Fuck Zanulabour and fuck the EU double. I am voting for those nasty extremists UKIP.
Better UKIP than BNP. UKIP are eurosceptic, but they’re not racist.

I’m beginning to feel just a tad sorry for these MPs. I don’t think some of them can help it, a bit like Margaret Beckett’s face, Alan Duncan’s height or Michael Martin’s smell – it’s not really their fault.
It is becoming patently obvious that the British electorate do not like an ugly man who pulls faces and is apparentally obsessed that he is the only person right and the rest of us and the world are wrong. Where are the men in the white coats ?
How ever did he achieve marital status ?

I visited your site a few times and thought it time I said hi. But I guess I best comment on topic.
I will be voting UKIP because I see them as our best chance to influence getting a Referendum on EU to get us out of the EU. Cameron has already started beating the same drum but does not go far enough, but the people can, and are, changing that.
We need to regain control of UK from EU, we need to regain our voice in Parliament and remind politicians they work for the people and not the other way round, and politicians need to be held to account. When elected into office they are elected to be the peoples voice not to deny the people their voice or abuse elected powers to further their own abitions and hidden agendas.
Regards
Interesting that the ex ?Minister for Justice eggs up his education background on the Ministry web site
