We Need a Name for this Scandal
Simon Hoggart makes a very good point this morning, the MPs expense scandal is un-named. “Expense-gate” somehow isn’t right. Guido likes “The Troughalypse”, though that isn’t self-descriptive. Maybe “Snoutgate”. Suggestions in the comments welcome…

Guido, surely only one thing for it…..
The Re-moat Parliament
Bunch of thieving, self-regarding, self-pitying Hoons who should be strung up from the nearest lamp post ~ GATE
The Dry Rot Parliament.
Got to be the best example of the excess: Tens of thousands of pounds, not in Westminster, not in her constituency and not her residence until a couple of days before the dry rot treatment.
I’m sure all the lefties would like to refer to the moat surrounding an MP’s house in his constituency, but this one trumps it on cost, location and lack of permanence.

But it is not going to be the end of Brown gate. That slimy fucker and his party have abolished shame and made snouting the trough a right, not a privelige. The weird fucker will only go if the Queen tells him to do one and that isn’t going to happen. So… We’re all fucked for another twelve months and like it or not there isn’t a fucking thing we can do about it except march on Westminster with flaming torches. Any takers? No I thought not.

The Dishonourable Members Totally Unacceptable Caught With Their Snouts In The Trough The Bastards And Should Be Shot Or Hung Expenses Gate
The word is “hanged”
Neck or genitals?
not in scotland
If we had not gone “into Europe”, would all this expenses nonsense ever have got so bad?
I think the WestMonster-bastards have “learned the wrong sort of lesson” from nasty continental Eurpoean autarkic politicians inside the EU, whose despising pose towards electorates, and whose cavalier but ferociously acquisitive attitude to what they see as the perquisites of power, may have infected our Enemy Class.
The sooner we either_
(1) Expel the EU from the UK, or
(2) cause England to leave the UK, (the Scotch and Welsh will want to stay in or they will die of starvation freezing in the dark)
the better. I think actually we might tell the scotch to go now, don’t you? They can take the Forth-Clyde-Fascist-Mafia with them while they are at it.
Oh, also, I’d _/give/_ them “The Oil”, or the revenues therefrom as it would turn out to be, and tell them to get on with it. if they charge too much, BP etc will close up and ship out. If they charge less, they will get more oil and more revenue…..
Teach the buggers a lesson in liberalism and economics it so will. then we don’t need all there “Gates”. Ever.

By the by, your fetus lovin’ hero is squirming with the best of them: http://blog.dorries.org/Blogs/2009/May/15#15
I love the way she reckons the expenses she tried to claim were okay because they were rejected -she thinks. I REALLY love the way she doesn’t have a second home and so somehow suggests the world is her second home so it’s quite reasonable that she claims a second home allowance. I’ve thought she was a space cadet for years so it makes sense to me.
You sure Cherie didn’t wtite this, funny how professional women always claim everything in my favour is against me, whenever they fuck up. Fucking hard life someone made her work in parliament. Cheeky b*tch
I really, REALLY love that she (or possibly her PA, who is apparently blame for all of her boneheadery) went back and edited out some of the rantier bits and capitals from the blog post (luckily only after the Telegraph published the original for posterity, in all its insanely over-defensive, illiterate glory), and still managed to leave ‘immediately’ spelt ‘IMMEDIATLEY’.
Calling this woman a cheeky b!tch is insulting the intelligences of cheeky b!tches everywhere.

Thank god that odious Malik is suspended and hopefully being deselected & run out of Dewsbury (parachuted in by the labour party).
The arrogance of this muppett on Sky yesterday trying to brazen this out was unbelievable. Crying later when his claims into a monster tv, sound system and dodgy rent meant that not even Brown could stomach the cretin for a moment longer. Not such a big man now are you.
This dullard was arrested during the Burnley race riots and then whinged all over the place. Searched at Dulles airport and then said he was singled out because of racism. Sorry muppett you were searched and checked just like the rest of us. Nothing else, you are simply not special.
He said on Radio 4 that he earned more before he entered parliament. He’s such a talent he’s bound to be alright. We’re doing him a favour letting him go.
He can go back to Quangoland then.
Malik doesn’t get it at all. Apart from the social engineering Stazi’s who believe in wealth redistribution most of us don’t begrudge anyone earning a decent wage for working hard. It the freeloaders screwing over the taxpayer that pisses us off.
I’m afaid his local party has given him 100% support
FFS
If this islamuppet wants Sharia Law introduced in this country, perhaps he should put himself forward so we can see how it deals with thieves.
Do you think he believes that? no chance he is a grifter putting on a show to pocket the readdies that our politically correct socialist masters are giving away to such people…
As a quick reminder of who we’re talking about, here’s the YouTube clip of this gentleman wishing for a 100% Muslim parliament and a Muslim prime minister within 30 years.

Her Majesty The Queen,
Buckingham Palace,
London,
SW1A 1AA.
Friday 15th May 2009
Your Majesty,
As a loyal subject and patriot, I am seriously concerned about the House of
Commons, in relation to the scandal over Members of Parliament and their expenses. This has caused great upset and our democracy is in danger.
I am of the view that the Country needs a Parliament with a new mandate from your people.
May I respectfully request that you speak to the Prime Minister and suggest to him that because of the level of disgust within the Country, over the issue of expenses which involves all political parties, that Parliament should be dissolved and a general election called.
Yours sincerely.
He’ll just claim travelling expenses for going to see her.
Free the English, M’am ….
god save the queen and her bolshevik regime
To be fair, all of the expenses claims combined could be paid by recovering Goodwins pension.
Approved by the government gate
Or by recovering the MP’s pensions. If you want to punish Goodwin for his sins then go after Goodwin’s pension. If you want to punish the MPs for their sins then go after their pensions.
Harold Shipman topped himself before they could remove his pension so that his missus would still receive her cut. I can’t say I’d lose a wink of sleep if any of these fiddling MP’s took the same exit strategy.
Shipman couldn’t give a shit about his wife, nor anyone else. He topped himself because he knew what would happen to him when he went to prison

Out of 646.
Does this country have a hope?

Kauffman and a rug – was it for his head?
I can sell any number of these on that there ebay.
Anyone remember when Chancellor Brown launched attack after attack on ‘the black economy’? – No more loopholes; no more cash-in-hand work, no more ‘cheaper if you don’t neeed a VAT receipt’; full tax to be paid on everything; the people must not be cheated out of their tax money.
Obviously none of that could reasonably have been thought to apply to MPs.
This dont apply to the crime syndicate who are looting our country. The police still dont know what to do about this organised crime and have decided to carry on with real police work – targeting the fucking motorist.

Pigs are intelligent, useful and honest animals whose existence on this plant should not be impugned by linking them in any way with the thieving, self-serving, dishonourable and thoroughly disreputable bunch of free-loading bastards in Westminster.
Scallywag has it right – pigs are clean, intelligent and companiable creatures unlike those MPs waiting investigation by Mr Plod.
Oigs also taste good. Although perhaps a few of thes MPs would taste okay, stufed as they are with garlic, truffles and caviar and their flesh tenderised over the years by alcohol and their muscles tender due to lack of exercise.
They’d be like Kobe politicians. Nicely marbled and tender as fuck. I say hang ‘em and eat ‘em.

Dear Mr. Guido,
I am considering making a complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Authority as the BBC keep showing Margaret Beckett before the 9 o’clock watershed.
My pets and children have been traumatised and are now having difficulty sleeping.
Are any of your other contributors experiencing similar problems?
Yours sincerely etc…….
I agree, saw her on Question time, strewth.
She was on Newsnight a few years ago. Paxo asked a question-she replied-Paxo then stated to the other bloke being interviewed ” So you’ve heard it from the horses mouth” After what he said had sunk in, there was barely supressed giggling-a classic moment !
Incitatus not is she
Sorry if this has been mentioned already but Dimbleby saying to Becket something like “…and the Daily Telegraph has fingered you a little hasn’t it?” was both a riotously funny cock-up and the cause of a deeply unpleasant mental picture.
one expence becket never claimed for was plastic surgery which would be essential to her job as an mp
delegate, fumigate, irrigate, relegate, castigate, expurgate, subjugate, interrogate, investigate

No doubt Swindlegate of Fiddlegate or some such dreary name will emerge. Not many entire Parliaments get a nickname (has there been one since the 1830s Reform Parliament?), but this House of Horrors is so egregious it deserves one. I hope it goes down in history as the Moat Parliament.

For me this (ultimately unsurprising) exposé has demonstrated a tyranny far greater than that of the monarch Charles II that prompted, indeed drove, Oliver Cromwell to act, precipitated the Glorious Revolution and resulted in the supremacy of Parliament, the Declaration of Rights 1688 (a solemn and binding promise between the monarch(s) and the people that may not be repealed) and the consequent Bill of Rights 1689.
I propose that this episode be known as:
The Inglorious Revolution
Let-them-eat-cake-gate
Sorry, ‘-gate’ does rather seem to have been absorbed into the English language as a synonym for a major scandal.
Apologies also to the much-maligned Marie Antoinette.
No apologies whatsoever, though, to the vermin who infest Westminster, Whitehall and most areas of local government. You lot give pigs a bad name.

SWINEGATE springs to mind.
As for these “forgotten” paid mortgages…….. RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I received notification of completion of mortgage. It consists of a formal letter of acknowledgement and a massive package, containing Title deeds and a plethora of legal documents……….. all delivered by recorded delivery, addressed to the TITLE HOLDERS (me and Maw).
I fail to understand how you can forget something of that size and weight!
Advice to Old Grumpy – I was in the same situation a few years ago. Several months later I checked on the Land Registry online, and the bank’s charge on my property had not been removed. It was easily cleared up with a phone call to the bank, but I would encourage you to check the Land Registry in due course.
(The explanation was that electronic notification had been sent, but not paper, and LR won’t act without paper)

Just lose the f*cking annoying american ‘gate’ suffix !! surely the english langauge can do better…
Alternative suffixes…
‘trough’,
‘ceit’ (as in deceit, or conceit),
‘moat’,
‘mal’ (as in malady – thats malady, not m’lady),
‘cidious’ (as in incidious),
‘bauched’ as in debauched,
‘foul’,
‘fraud’,
’sploit’ (as in exploit),
‘niquitous’ (as in iniqitous),
‘farious’ (as in nefarious)
‘taint’
or just call the whole thing “the bloody great piss take”.

I hope we have the largest possible turnouts to the June elections and next years’ general election.The parties have become used to voter apathy which in no small part has led to the overwhelming attitude of complacency and arrogance. It is clear Brown and co. will hang on to the last possible moment.
This is a watershed moment and it must not be wasted. The mainstream parties need a severe and unforgettable kicking. Let’s see a lot of independants standing to the point there is N.O.M and maybe the true voice of the people (the vast silent majority in the middle) will finally be heard.
The temple needs to be cleansed. Enough is enough.

The Scandal of the one eyed tax man in dark glasses.
Not very snappy is it? But when is someone going to get around to this individual’s leading part in this affair?
I put it to you bloggers, that if you had made outrageous expense claims of your employer, and unbelievably got them paid, you would have come up against the eagle eye of his all seeing colleague in very short order. The current state of affairs could not possibly have got to the state that it has, without the very passive attitude of the tax authorities.
I predict with complete confidence that no one will publicly question the inaction of this all powerful sycophant and we seem to have no means to deselect him.
Maybe we should wait to see who the biggest piss taker has been, and just name it after them?
What a mess – they it’s a den of martins.

‘Billings-gate’ is the best -gate.
‘Troughery’ for the form of behaviour.
‘Heathered’ is the past participle describing those caught.
‘The Pong Parliament’. (The Wrong Parliament fits too much of the recent political mess.)
‘The Great Stink’ was a Victorian coinage for Westminster without proper sewers; it appeals to a sense of tradition.
‘Hard disks’ is the phrase that will replace ‘hard cheese’.
‘The Slimetrails Affair’ would do for an instant book
‘Telegraphic Receipts’ would give credit where it is due; and paid for.
‘Fawked Manure’ could be used to describe the eventual fall-out.
But ‘The Downloads Affair’, soon to shorten to ‘ Downloads’ is what will stick. After all, we all do a download in the appropriate place most days.

You forgot the free food, free dog food, free gerbil food, and the £50,000 a year salary for ‘constituency work’ to the relative of your choice. Plus business class air fares anywhere you want, or first class if you are one of the hundred MPs anywhere near the government, and best of all…

Let us not forget those that deserve to be remembered:
Nice Mr. B. Liar famous for ‘trust me I’m a kinda straight sort of guy’ and his infamous wife Cherie Blair who charged New Labour a £7,700 bill for a personal hair stylist during the last election campaign.
Unfortunately it seems that B. Liars expenses have been shredded ‘by mistake’ so all that’s left to uncover is his ‘blind’ trust.
Then there is Derry Irvine the man who first employed Anthony & Cherie as pupil barristers who later became LORD CHANCELLOR under the Blair government. A total of approximately £650,000, including hand-printed wallpaper worth £59,000 of taxpayers funds, was said to be spent doing-up his official residence.
But pride of place is still given to Gordo for his sick understanding of what is right all as epitomised in his his 200-page survival guide, Alternative Edinburgh, in this he openly encouraged students to “use and abuse” the Welfare State. Mr. Bean the ‘Saviour of the World’ who has no work experience in the private sector but has all but sold his soul to it gets the nod.

For your entertainment we have not one, not two, not three, five or even ten, just simply uncountable hordes of officials, elected at great, nay monstrous public expense, who will talk, squirm, cavort, or just about anything you can think (and a lot of things you woudn’t dream of) if you will only believe in them, trust in them and take of their coin (which is actually your coin).

MP’s first day at The Palace of Snoutminster:
The difference between secondary and primary (aka how to trough the taxpayer)
Secondary is primary when not secondary and secondary when not primary but can be secondary-secondary when there is no primary or can be secondary today, primary tomorrow and secondary the day after once you’ve trousered a tax free gain and want to buy a home cinema, bookcase, silk cushions, light bulbs, a take-away, a fridge, a masssage chair or have your moat cleaned.
Secondary or primary can relate to houses, flats, an under stair cupboard in a relative’s house, a designer hotel or a private members club.
Sleep-overs with lovers and pets could influence the location of where you normally sleep and whether the silk sheets are essential to your performance and thus an allowable expense. Such a claim could only apply to sleep-overs in a secondary site but as you are both judge and jury on this matter, the Fees Office will defer to the discretion of the Right Honourable Member.

JULIE KIRKBRIDE MP
David Cameron and the Telegraph have only part-facts. The graud is far greater than reported and Kirkbride is more culpable than MacKay. They do not have aa `family` home in the constuency. Ut is a flat on the top floor of Beoley Hall, and is the home of Kirkbride`s brother, Ian Kirkbride. He therefore benefits in kind at taxpayers expense. He is also paid for computer work out of parliamentary expenses and has no other job. Kirkbride purchased the flat for £95,000 in 1997 and completely refurbished and furnshed it at taxpayers expense. The mortgage was repaid and a new mortgage taken out in order to continue with the fraudulent activities. After only four years it was refurnished again at taxpayers expense but the new items were receipted to Bromsgrove but delivered to London. The £50,000 claim for a bedroom extension is also a fraud as the Bromsgrove flat is not capable of extension and it is a listed building. Where is the planning application and listed building consent? It would also be interesting to have the name of the recipent of £2,100 cleaning costs and the receipt. Kirkbride also claims £1,300 spouse travel costs even thogh MacKay is hardly ever there and Beoley Hall is certainly not `home`. Meanwhile Mackay claims £500 in reciprocal travel costs for his wife in yet another spectacular act of deceit.
Nor do this pair own a flat in London as reported . They live in a large Georgian house in Vincent Square. Is spouse travel for trips to Bracknell or simply a double scam for going home? David Cameron has it wrong when he says the remedy is deselection because Kirkbride has her association sewn up and they will back her. The rerason is simple: Kirkbride exerts total financial control over the Dent family. Rita Dent is association secretary paid out of taxpayer funds, and a councillor following Kirkbride`s unsavoury discrediting of the sitting councillor who was anti-Kirkbride. Unemployed husband Alan Dent became a councillor under similar circumstances, and is now also association chairman. Daughter Naomi Dent was employed full-time as nanny to Kirkbride`s son Horatio at their London home, and her salary was claimed on parliamentary expenses as secretary. This family control the association on Kirkbride`s behalf. Any selection meeting would be fixed. David Cameron needs to grasp the nettle and remove her. If he does not his welcome tough-talking will be a sham. The problem will not go away. Kirkbride is a liability and these latest frauds are just the tip of the iceberg and there will be more to come. However messy Cameron must grasp the nettle now or the Kirkbride problem will continue to grow. A major fraud has been committed and Cameron needs to distance himself and the party from it – now!
(ps for an excellent analysis of the MacKay character see `Cranmer`- it reads as if the author knows MacKay almost as well as I do!)
Totally agree, we must clean out the debris – the hollier than thou class – who are basically self intrested hypocrites and not ‘wise persons from and answering to the electorate’.
