Douglas Carswell’s motion in the House of Commons reads:
No Confidence in the Speaker
“That this House has no confidence in Mr Speaker and calls for him to step down; notes that Mr Speaker has failed to provide leadership in matters relating to hon. Members’ expenses; believes that a new Speaker urgently needs to be elected by secret ballot, free from manipulation by party Whips, under Standing Order No. 1B; and believes that a new Speaker should proceed to reform the House in such a way as to make it an effective legislature once again.”
Nick Clegg has today signed the speaker’s exit pass by telling him it is time to go. Don’t fret, his troughing and incompetence will be rewarded with a peerage and a back seat on the Lord’s Gravy Train. Once a trougher, always a trougher…
Bye Mick.
and don’t take a fucking pension with you, you weegie troughing bastard.
What’s his friggin pension worth? Way too much…
I agree with this, but, for your last post,
I’m saying: Guido is completely wrong.
Just shifting your vote to a no-hoper party is lazy and ineffective. If you really care, get up and do something.
I’ll take what’s owed to me ya fenian bastard.
He won’t be going far, alas.
Prescott’s bog-seats will be quickly forgotten when Brown’s next ermine-clad turd is slopped out into the House of Lords.
Gardyloo!
The Laughing-at-the-Speaker Song
I know a fat old Speaker
He’s always on the take
His wife and he are at the trough
They like their share of cake
He’s too thick for a Speaker
With nowt between his ears
And everyone says he’s the worst
For nigh four hundred years!
(Hah hah hah hah hah hah …
*gales of mocking laughter*)
He’s laughed at by the media
He’s laughed at by the mob
The Sunday papers all declare
He’s got to quit his job
He says it is a class thing
That makes them jeer and bawl
But that can’t be the reason, Mick -
You have no class at all!
(Hah hah hah hah hah hah …
*hysterical laughter*)
He castigates Kate Hoey
And David Winnick too
He tries to keep the details from
The likes of me and you
He’s meant to be the guardian
Of every last MP
But when they came for Damian Green
He said “That’s fine by me!”
(Hah … errr … hmmm
OK, Mick, joke’s a joke: pack yer bags)
Nice

Do you want him to stay or go Cameron ?
It’s now entirely in your hands as Clegg will not be enough but the two Opposition Parties togeter WILL be.
We must now wait and see if Cameron let’s him off the hook tomorrow.
Don’t count on this fugger resigning. He’s got no class like that fugger Prince Phil. Greek fugger.
Anyhows, I had my boys
stealborrow copy of the fugger’s speech:http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/05/gorbals-speech-in-house-sneak-preview.html
Herr Fugger was the wealthiest man (a banker) in medieval Europe. How apt!
Clever clogs
The speaker is using the ‘sheet metal worker’ card, the ‘I’m just a poor old Glaswegian under-educated worker’ card, the ‘I’m just a little put-upon Scot’ card! He’s actually a fat, greedy, stupid slob, who always pretended he was
representing the worker and the under-privileged, whereas he has done nothing
but self-serve, and zilch for the people he was ELECTED TO REPRESENT. Now
he’s hanging on by his finger nails in order to claim some huge tranche of cash
etc., and to make sure he is able to ‘shoe-in’ his son into his old constituency etc
etc, etc, self serving is the name of his game!
and don’t take a pension with you, you troughing weegie bastard.
Foot and ‘Mouth’ – the beginning and now the end
What is the betting on an October general Election ? Even Gordon (Culpability)
Brown cannot survive the dire position of Labour in the polls…. beaten by Ukip in the
europeans ??
Frank Field is the ONLY man for the job of speaker ! (but will he accept?)
@itsfaircomment
Nah – even though FF is pretty sound, we’ve had two Labour in a row, time for a change (not Ming though, he’s failed the honesty test).
Frank Field – yes or Vince Cable? Maybe we need to leave Frank Field free to develop his very intelligent ideas on how government should be governing?
How about “Mr Clean” Ed Balls, 1000% innocent.
Dr Feelgood,
That’s precisely the problem. The affiliation of the Squeaker should be immaterial but it hasn’t been. Another Labour one wouldn’t be a problem so long as it was someone who could put Parliament before Party. The Trougher in Chief couldn’t and it’s taken this shitstorm before anyone dare squeak out against him. Chickenshits the lot of them.
How about Derek Conway for the new speaker? A perfect example of the modern troughing Conservative party. These greedy Tory scum once they get their filthy hands on the levers of power will really show these incompetent Labour fools how it should be done. Moats for all.
@Johnny
Fair point. Guess I’m wary of another Labour stitch-up.
Hope so, fuck the EU and Fuck Labour.
Oh dear Mr Patel.
The last dying squeals of a stuck socialist pig. Enjoy the moment its soon to be over for ever.
Martin Bell
I wouldn’t trust Ed balls to run a bath let alone the House of Commons!!!!!
Please buy a single to Scotland
We don’t want the fucker back. Keep him and feed him to the pigs at London Zoo – then call a vet very quickly.
Can I claim my ticket on expenses?
“will be rewarded with a peerage and a back seat on the Lord’s Gravy Train”
Don’t you mean LLoyds Gravy train. He’s to be the new chairman. Carrying on the good work he has done in the commons and blocking scrutiny of the government’s debt.
Mr Speaker is a “Fenian”. Why would he address Guido in such derogatory terms?
Next Speaker should be Jaqui Smith. Each times the Commons is sitting she should be made to sit nude on the Speaker’s chair. Each member would be reminded of what a porcine politico looks and sounds like. Members who perform badly would be made to smack her quivering arse with the palm of their hands while good members would be allowed to do the same but with a cane. I would pay good money to watch that as I know all good honest citizens would. To arms brothers…
If we’re looking for look alike pigs to fill the position then Elliott Morley and Iain McCartney can join her.
This arsehole must be repatriated back to Scotland with just the clothes on his back with no pension, no golden handshake and hopefully a police investigation that will put this rotten bastard inside. I suspect that from Brown downwards they are all shitting themselves because this dishonourable bastard has a lot of dirt on them all. Lets stop farting around and start prosecuting these thieves – paying back the money they stole with a mealy mouth excuse is not good enough we want heads on the block.
No thanks, the creeps not welcome in Scotland!
Yes but his tribal McMates such as Sherridan on Radio 4 a moment ago defend him to the death. “He coud’na known what was going on in the fees office, who are you to say he must go…what are you doorstepping him for is he some kinda paedophile? etc”
Porcine Liebour politics in “Northern Britain” stinks even more than in Westminister according to some reports.
Investigation of crooked McSnotty political dynasties (such as the one Gorbals McMick seeks to impose in his constituency “my son will have my seat”) would repay investigation.
Their stink is such that abbatoir workers would probably demand a special handling fee to despatch them.
I have watched the special Olympic and found a few retards endearing. However, retard, Michael Martin, reinforces my long-held belief that retards have no decency or humanity. They are sick criminals who lie and thieve, and corrupt and depraved.
I hope in future there is some sort of IQ test to be an MP, so clinical imbeciles, like the nasty poison dwarf, Hazel Blears, and the greedy criminal pig, Michael Martin, can’t get in.
These retards you mention have more humanity and compassion in their shit than you. prick.
Sorry pressed submit a bit quick there.
These retards you mention have more humanity and compassion in their shit than you have in your whole body. They kept the wrong bit when you were born, prick.
Ming Campbell would make a f~@#ing awful speaker. Much too much Scottish Raj, now Vince would do nicely for Clegover I’m sure as it gets him out the way of a leadership challenge, but
……imagine the fun we’d have at PMQs with Frank Field as Speaker telling McBust to ATFQ!
who the fuck wrote martins speech he could’nt read it he sounded like a child on it’s first attempt to read jannet and john.
who the fuck wrote martins speech he could’nt read it, he sounded like a child on it’s first attempt to read jannet and john.
MARTIN i ain’t going nowhere! my bet gone by friday bye bye tosser.
Gorbals the Garble Gone!
I drink to that.
My moneys on Frank Field
Frank field is a good man, but another Labour speaker – they wouldn’t dare
Why not,are the Tories less troughing?
I would prefer FF’s talents to be spent ‘thinking the unthinkable’, and getting it fucking implemented. He was the one good thing about Nu-Lab in ’97, and they dumped him like a septic hoon as soon as they were elected. Lying bastards.
I don’t think the Tories would have a problem with a Labour Speaker, as it allows them to show that they are less concerned with party tribalism than Labour.

Kate Hoey?
Yes !!
Kate has shown some courage…
She’s independent and a decent woman…
Outside the normal party machines..
I’d go for her…
“I’d go for her…”
And I’d make her Speaker as well
She already “works with me” my friend..
No further comment needed…
I hate Labour but I’d vote for Kate Hoey if she were my local MP
Bring Kate back to NI as First Minister rather than that greedy bastard Robinson, and the murdering fucker McGuinness.
She’s what we need.
JamesW
agreed, I’ve thought for a long time Cameron could do worse than woo FF for that purpose……..does he have the bottle?
Speaker – anyone not from the contaminated gene pool the is Labour
Its true, have a look at his expense claim(shock! he puts them online) the only thing he claimed for that looked even a little dodgy was some sort of Man Friday, sorry I meant house keeping- he is perfect. And Cam def has bottle.
Frank Field will never cross the floor. He’s committed to Labour ideals.
A pity.
kate hoey or bill cash
Now we need to turn the spotlight on the architect of this whole mess – Mr T Blair, the smirking chance and President Elect of the EUSSR.
too right. the evil shit.
I’ve just watched Thursdays Question Time which I’d recorded.
Why do all Labour MPs going on Telly defending their claims come across as obnoxious shits, Margaret Beckett was a disgrace.
As was Shalid (1,000,000% straight) Malik on Saturday.
Wankers the lot of them, how did they get elected in the first place?
Don’t answer the above question as I already know as I live in Rotherham.
The f***ing council is exactly the same. Ask the people what they want then do the opposite.
If the Hartlepool monkey should come to Rotherham plenty would vote for it if it wore a red rosette.
Rant over
We should have a public enquiry about the Iraq war – then we can put the fucking twat on trial for crimes against humanity. Cherie can go on trial for crimes against humanity for being born. As they have both become world leaders in religious doctrine I think crucifying them is a suitable sentence for them.
problem is that crucifiction would simlply feed Anthony’s messiah complex.
To right Grim, and slot-gob as well. They are the true destroyers of the country.
Agreed, look for Brown and his slimy comrades to get nice little earners in the EU for being good comrades and selling us out to them. Roll on June 4th and a massive UKIP vote.
267
crucify yes, but nails must be oh so blunt.
Even if his expenses during the time he was prime minister have been “accidentally” shredded in Downing Street, it’s unbelievable that there aren’t copies some place else. Dig ‘em out, Guido!
“notes that Mr Speaker has failed to provide leadership”
On the contrary, Speaker Martin has been in the Vanguard of the swine.
Totally correct – Martin has been a figurehead for those MPs who want to maximise the amounts they loot from the public purse and keep those activities secret from their constituents and employers (the latter being a fact they would like to forget).
His activities on behalf of these thieves don’t stand up to scrutiny for an instance and the sooner we are shoot of this purple faced, ignorant, lazy, greedy piece of shit the better.
Couldnt agree more!
He’s a troughing Huhne like the rest of them. Kept it quiet, tried to sweep it all under the rug, went beyond his authority wagging his finger at the Right Honourable mistress when she dropped the curtain on the very problem encircling Parliament and then le his guard down by deploying the Wagging Finger of Thuggery instead of being independant.
Wanker.
In every sense of the word. He’s a fat, meaningless Hoon who should be shown the door for punishment for his abhorrent defence of a failing, corrupt expenses system which he himself has profited handsomely from. He’s a figurehead for eveything that’s wrong with Parliament today.
He thinks he’s a shop steward protecting the Spanish practices of his colleagues in the Glasgow ship yards.
we, presumably, are the rich bosses, who have far too much money and should hand more over to him and his mates.
He even personally amended the Green Book in order to trough more.
He also slapped down the head of the Fees Office when he complained that MPs were taking the piss.
Slightly O/T can we do something about replacing the appellations “Honourable” and “Right Honourable” with something more appropriate.
My first thought was something like “Hoonourable” and “Right Hoonourable” but these don’t mean too much.
Perhaps we should be honest and just call them c u n t s
Right Honourable actually means something though. It’s a lifetime term that means they have the right to request a personal audience with the Queen as a member of Her Majesty’s Privy Council.
As it’s a lifetime award maybe Her Majesty should bring back the ancient tradition of having members of the Privy Council executed.
…and spent 300,000 on top ranked city lawyers to block information commissioner and court rulings requiring full disclosure.
He’s an embarrassing, inchoate, overpromoted Glaswegian shop-steward with a huge envy chip on his sloping shoulders.
Off to the abbatoir with this overfattened barrel of lard.
Vangadarene Swine?
Betty come back!
Yes- those who remember Betty Boothroyd, Bernard Weatherill, George Thomas and even Selwyn LLoyd have some inkling of what Speakers should be like.
Makes Martin’s corrupt and partisan tenure look even worse
Hanging around for a fucking £100k lump sum and to parachute his offspring into his safe Labour seat. These are two reasons alone to kick the useless fucker out tomorrow. Good luck Carswell and a warning to any MP who tries to save this piece of shit: you’re number will be up come the election.
Voting to eject this man will be a start to restoring public confidence.
Didn’t hey learn from the Dunwoody fiasco? If they try to parachute his spawn into the seat, then bring it on!
Any twat that supports Huhnebubble Martin will be hounded out by Mad Hattie Harperson’s Court of Public Opinion.
I was under the impression that Labourites abhored the notion of hereditary peerages.
Champagne socialist swine.
No doubt some Labour MPs will make a few quid at the bookies on the betting, just as they did at his election as Speaker (whitewashed in the following investigation of course).
Didnt you mean
“Once a tosser always a tosser” ?
Goodbye hoonfucker.
Anyone seen anything of a missing Peer named Mandelson?
Fucking delicious!
They wouldn’t, tell me they wouldn’t……..
He’s a fugger too.
It’s delicious but very serious
The so-called leaders of the Criminal Labour Party have all gone into HIDING…
Desertion I call it…
SACK ‘EM.NOW
Hanging by his cojones in Regents Park..
Someone got him like Rasputin…
Was such a nice chap though…
AND WHERE IS GORDON BROWN FFS ??
He’s been at Bilderberg conclave in Greece. Perhaps will return with orders concerning Broon?
Perhaps they’ve been locked up in The Tower?
I think he’s just realised his photoset of the Great Helmsman astride his rocking horse may not be the get out of jail card he thought it was.
They are all in Greece getting instructions
Greasing up an upturned chair leg.
Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ding
…and that other upstanding and virtuous citizen, my lady Baroness Udderly Disgusting and her marble-halled Bangla holiday palace, with a 64000 quid BMW parked out front of a subsidised social home in the Bangla Republic of Tottering Hamlets, when its not in Maidstone?

Who’d be stupid enough to buy their hamster a handbag – better to buy it a miner’s lamp and double strength string.
He must have been stinking after all the years in a coffin .
Her Late Majesty would not have been amused .
That would account , of course , for his strange hallucinations about mice , hamsters and hand-bags .
Shalom
If he doesn’t announce his resignation tomorrow then he is a Labour Party hack and not a Parliamentarian.
FFS!
Didnt you suss this out already??
Tosser!
Poor guy.
So he goes to the Lords?
What’s wrong with going back to the Gorbals?
The Gorbals is smiles better now, as anyone will tell you.
HaHaHa!….Lord Mick of the Gorbals…LOL!
Maybe we can have the Pearly King and Queen there too for a bit of fun.
Jellied eels and a knees-up down the Dog and Trumpet on the taxpayer every Saturday night.
I thought it was Glaswegian reels and the Gorbals Pipe and Drum band.
Guido
I think you are WRONG
The Public are so shocked by the Speakers ciminal cover up for years of all this sleaze..ample evidence now
Plus his threats…criminal abuse of his position…ample evidence now (see daily Mail)
Plus PERVERSION OF THE COURSE OF JUSTICE…that proven now…
He must be indicted and prosecuted
Otherwise the System is just a JOKE…
well said
The system IS A JOKE.
Under labour the police have been destroyed as an effective service for upholding the law – to make the need for Communist Camara surveillance necessary, along with ID Cards etc. The two policies are not mutually exclusive.
Expecting the police to do anything is impossible. They are deliberately piled under paperwork to establish countless statistics for the next 5year plan!
The only solution is for the citizens of this nation to rise up and take ‘matters into their own hands’, and establish mob-law due to the deliberate inefficiencies of this labour government. With that done – the MP’s will rapidly sort out the police service, permanently into an effective crime solving force.
String ‘em up. Let the future MP’s learn a lesson, we need a police force that is effective, and one that will uphold the law.
It is Parliament we’re talking about – and they have the authority to change the law – elect a government that will do exactly that!
Reply went in the wrong place!!
FFS if that Fat Bastard ends up with a pension, then the commons should be burned to the ground with all the useless bastards inside.
I quite agree
WIll help you…
It would be interesting to know in what circumstances a politician or civil servant can be denied their pension. I suspect there are very few.
It is Parliament we’re talking about – and they have the authority to change the law – elect a government that will do exactly that!
Yep, I’d help too.
237
Pay him his exhorbitant pension then but hand him a 94% tax bill with it.
Spare a thought for the little weasel. Just how much will he have left after the taxman and the VAT man get on his case? to say nothing of Plod (when sufficiently emboldened).
There can’t be a VAT liability unless you provide a service.
Perhaps he did
Too true. It’s not like this Hoon has added any value to anything, except his own backpocket.
One of the first reforms that needs to be made is to stop the automatic ‘elevation’ to the Lords for ex and failed MPs.
There has to be clear and obvious reasons behind membership of the Other Place (innit quaint?). It’s not a bleedin’ retirement home, it’s our Parliament!!
No place for Martin, no place for Blair, and no place for Brown!!
This almost automatic elevation is itself a gross abuse.
Kick out Mandlescum too.
And ‘man of the people, boyo’ Kinnock.
Abolish it
Far simpler…
You kill about 400 birds with one stone that way…
New Law necessary – ‘The Revocation of Titles Act’.
1 Any person who has either directly or indirectly engaged in monetary influence upon the members of the Houses of Parliament cannot recieve or uphold a title of the nation.
2 Any person who has been involved in any act of criminal intent cannot recieve or a uphold a title of the nation
3 Any person who uses a peerage for direct or indirect personal financial gain cannot be held suitable for the peerage.
4 All laws for automatic peerage either expressed in custom or current legislature is repealed.
5 All applicants for peerage will be reviewed on explicit merit, which can be expressd to the average man, and the applicant can demonstrate to the average man.
6 All current holders of a title will be under constant review and observation for continuous explicit merit, which can be expressed to the average man, and the current holder can demonstrate to the average man.
Something like that!
Make it a retrospective law and I think you’re onto something good!!!!
What about the revival of the office of Censor that the Roman Republic used to have .
I can just imagine what Cato the Elder would have made of this lot !
NO REWARD FOR FAILURE
For a peerage…
No reward for career politicians – especially for being career politicians who know how to manipulate the system.
They claim they can earn better – let them go out and prove it. The House of Lords should be used for scrutiny of Legislation and providing knowledge from a depth of experience which is for the advantage of the Subjects of Her Majesty’s Government – not politicians for the advantage of Her Majesty’s Government.
I certainly don’t agree with the Prime Minister being given an almost ‘automatic peerage’. Though didn’t Thatcher refuse one for Healey?
A counter balance, not a lapdog!
Why not return the House of Lords to the state it was in before the wreckers came to power. Throw out all those sent their by Blair/Brown
seconded
I’ll be amazed and delighted if he goes this week. He’ll try the ‘I’ll go at the next election’ line. Cleggie et al will have to stick to their guns to winkle the bastard out. Even if he goes he’ll still get a payoff and a pension. Git. If he gets a peerage it’ll be a total disgrace.
He clings on to the trappings of power with the same corrupt tenacity as his boss, Brown.
We can but keep our fingers crossed and email our MPs to let them know we want the greedy stupid Scottish Huhne removed as fast as possible, and executed rather than elevated.
The Penguin.
Yet agin, the disaster Gordon Brownists have engineered a scapegoat. He was always a failure waiting to infest parliament, and now his time has come.
Good riddance, but don’t forget who’s behind all this.
His equally greedy wife???
She’s always there, standing behind her simpleton husband and grinning like a wanking Jap, and whose surprised…. the venal bitch has been hitting the jackpot day after day after day……
Parliament has got to change:
1. Elections every four years.
2. No prime minister to serve more than 2 terms.
3. No un-elected prime ministers to serve for more than one year without an election and only if the last one has died.
4. Referendums on all important decisions that affect the country.
5. Fewer MPs.
6. All processes should be clear and transparent (except matters of national security, monitored by independents)
7. Wage freeze. If they can do better in the private sector, let them go.
8. No more lying on TV. Just answer the bloody questions.
9. No more employing relatives and cronies.
10. Reform the houses of parliament.
Please feel free to add more……..
Speaker to be replaced *every* election. To be voted on by secret ballot by all parties and chosen from a Party not elected to the current role of Speaker.
Also, while MPs may state that they wish to be Speaker the actual vote is to be chosen from *all* eligible MPs.
This ensures that you cannot have a Speaker put in a place of power that can abuse that place for more than 5 years and it ensures that any party cannot place their own man in position or control the role of Speaker for more than 1 term.
You may even go so far as to say the Speaker should *never* be chosen from the current ruling Party. This prevents the Speaker from being put in a position of a conflict of interest, which the current Speaker clearly is in.
Alien8n. Excellent, as usual.
All MP’s should have a time limit. 8-12yrs, ministers 12-16yrs
To make sure they have an interest in the real world either before or after serving as MP and to encourage them to challenge the whip and represent their constituency.
The fat hoon will hang on until after the next GE to qualify for a golden parachute, in addition of course to a pension that many can only dream about. Why are throwing money at these people??
Not if he negotiates his pension with “Lord” Myners (an enemy within if ever there was!).
Whatever happened to ‘Lord’ Myners, I thought he was toast for lying to a select committee or are we supposed to have forgotten about that one.
Cos hes in the Big Club. Theyre all in the Big Club and you aint invited! Nor me.
failure should be rewarded and encouraged.
It is not enough.
Dissolve Parliament.
Only a General Election minus the deselected troughers will suffice.
I agree.There must be an election now and all those found to have defrauded the taxpayer (aa well as being prosecuted) should not stand next time around.
Dinnae ye fash. Ah’ve picked bigger peanuts oot mah shite than thon wee Cleggie, and that Tory is jist a sweaty wee baw-bag! Broon will see me a’richt, jist ye see!
Get me a passport, fugger, and I save your job.
Just drop me a line Al, sure we can sort you out

I’ll offer you a job Gorbals
You have a the right contacts I need…
Martin should go, no fuss, reduced pension, no peerage.
He should not get a pension recommisserate with the ‘Speakers’ title in the HoC. He never did the job! He’s supposed to make sure that Brown answers the questions at PMQ’s. Watch PMQs and see how many times Brown refuses to answer the questions. Stats is not answers, it’s disengenuity by numbers.
Camaron has pointed out more than once in PMQ’s that Brown never answered the Question – and Martin just sits and twiddles thumbs. There’s a word for that – Incompetence!
It ain’t incompetence. It’s exactly why he was put there. To stop the executive being held to account.
I’ve come to take the Mick.
Tomorrow he’s going to say he has a plan for dealing with the crisis and he needs to stay to make sure it is implemented- No-one else can do the job (!!!!!)
He will then say that he’s going to retire at the next election after many long years of hard and faithful service to the nation.
He’s NOT going to say that he’s leached £thousands from taxpayers or that he needs to stay until the next election in order get a further £100K handout, a Lordship and to secure his constituency for his son. This man must go NOW.
I am very much afraid that you could be right. Hope not but hope may not be enough. It will then be up to “Call me Dave” to see what he will do, if anything.
Dave I hope you are listening!! Because we the public are losing patience.
Losing?
Lost it already – it’s behind the sofa somewhere gibbering, waiting for the next GE to make a comeback!
Sadly, I think the only person to have the balls to place the above points in the speakers piggy face is Dan Hannan.. and he’s too mired in the cesspit that is the EU.
Don’t vote Hanna at euro elections.. we need him back here.
I’m sorry to post such a long err post but I’ve lost the link — it was Armando Iannucci on Prezza but it’ll do for any Hoon:
Resign gracefully? Not likely
1 Learn to recognise the ‘Look, why should I resign when I’ve been perfectly honest and up-front?’ defence. It rests on the mistaken assumption you can be excused a folly just by admitting to it. Imagine where we’d be with that one if dogs could talk. ‘Yes, I’ve done a turd in your lounge. What’s the problem? I’m not trying to hide the facts. The turd is there. I admit it. I did it. Now, really, what we should be concentrating all our efforts on now is how to clean it up. Actually, could you do that since I’ve not got opposable thumbs?’
2 The next defence to spot is the ‘I’ve made a mess and it’s now my responsibility to stay and clear that mess up’ gambit. This is easily demolished. Why, for example, does no one point out that if you’ve just admitted to being incompetent, the last person we’d want to work further on a project is yourself? It’s like a dog saying: ‘Yes, I know I’m incontinent, and have been incontinent all around your house, but it’s my responsibility now to stay on as your dog and be continent.’ Our natural reaction would be to shove the dog into the garden with a cork up its arse.
3 The final justification to look out for and one Tony Blair relies on ceaselessly to explain why he’ll be staying on at Number 10 is that he ‘needs to complete the job he set out to do’. This is the maddest excuse of all, since it assumes there’s no other human being alive who could possibly complete it for him. Again, its like a dog saying: ‘Look, despite the turd business, I need to stay on here to keep being the domestic pet I started off being.’ The owner could easily say back to him: ‘That’s very nice of you to offer to stay, you uncontrollable turder, but you see, I’m going to buy a cat. Now leave, you mangy, stinking crapper.’
4 The final point, and the only rule you have to remember, is that despite all the above arguments, the person involved will still resign.
Gorbal’s stated intention to resign is probably designed to draw poison from Carswell’s motion and deflate it.
Gorbals knows that his position is weak. Under no circumstances should Carswell withdraw his motion. Go at the bastard with guns ablazing, Carswell.
Don’t vote for Hannan because he is a a Tory twat and as much involved with the EU ‘project’ as the Lib Lab twats. Fucking sell outs the lot of them. UKIP on the 4th and fuck them all.
Harriet Harman in article posted this evening at the Guardian:
“We need a three Rs approach: reparation, reassurance and renewal.”
Is this a new phenomenon? arse inflation? Is Harpic competing with John?
Stating the bleedin’ obvious.
3 arses ?
Jeez theres 300 of them in the labour party , sack the whole bleeding lot.
Harpic needs a kick in the flange the turtle faced pissbox.
Fishy…?
Could she be any more patronizing? Using 3Rs as though we are a bunch of bloody 9 year olds.
Yes she could.
And just wait til they all turn their highly polished rehtorical skills onto this one. They’ll have perfect solutions and systems. And before long we;’ll be hearing things like ‘We’ve achieved a lot, but there’s a lot still to be done ….’
What they don’t get is that it isn’t the system that’s wrong at all; they are those who are elected to fix systems, to devise policies to design rules and to ensure justice. That’s their job.
The current system would have worked perfectly well – I mean it – if they had been honest and honourable to start with.
Their personal integrity has been woefully short even of adequate, and if they think the public are going to trust them with the job of sorting it out they are as delusional as they appear.
Investigate, prosecute, expel, reform. ANd all independently; no politicians involved. And an end to the power of the parties to order the system.
As soon as you like.
[sigh]
She is matronising you insensitive clod!
The three ‘R’s from Harridan Harperson ???
How much more condescending can that idiotic woman get ?
The three ‘R’s – HaRRidan HaRperson
I write her article Silly…
If the raging mob wants a target, start with the Guardian.
Give everybody a free drink and then start reading out the Public Sector Job advertisements.
She missed out Retribution
And Rotherham.
Mmmmmmm she’s right, we need a three Rs approach
Reform, Re-selection and Retribution
Or Resignation, Resignation and Resignation.
Education, Eddyakashun, Edyercayshion
Yes we need a three R’s approach
RESIGNATIONS, REIMBURSEMENT, AND REGIME CHANGE
Troughing crook should be sent on a one-way trip to Tyburn.
If the Speaker says he will only stand down at the next general election tomorrow then the Queen should dissolve Parliament immediately so that we can have a general election. Then he’s gone.
Here here!
Martin is but another unionist weegie fuck-pig.
I’m reliably informed that he is closely connected to North and East Glasgow gangsters; as, I believe, is his son Paul.
And still that old perk beloved of the governing classes, the Hereditary system, continues unabated…
Fucking delicious!
Well, let’s wish Douglas well with this.
Incidentally, Has the Daily Telegraph got it wrong?
I think there are grounds for the Telegraph to be asking for counsel’s opinion on the potential for several legal cases that might be winging their way.
Nice try Gordon – who cares any more??
Really Lord Mandelbum, nice try but do bugger off. The DT has Court of Public Opinion Immunity, you on the other hand don’t.
If I understand the procedure correctly, this sort of motion can only be heard if the Speaker arbitrarily decides to call it. A Speaker with any dignity at all would have to call it, but of dignity this Speaker has none. I wonder if the bookies are taking bets.
This will be excellent live televion…
I doubt if GORBALS will be there for the vote…
Damn. I shall have to give up my bowls and stay glued to Sky News!
Why do I suppose that Mr Mick Martin will do very well financially out of his platinum parachute?
Not if we persevere and cut the strings. NO £100 thousand handout. NO seat in the Lords. NO guaranteed handover of your constituency to your son.
To your son – Don’t bother – you don’t want to be an MP – The gravy train has hit the buffers – suggest you find a proper job- you will find it more rewarding.
Martin Junior is MSP for the same seat . He’s already been on the Gravy Train for years .
Don’t fear for Mick Martin. The old walloper has a great career in pantomime in front of him, playing Widow Twankey or the Wicked Stepmother – though not, for obvious reasons, Baron Hardup.
Ali Martin and the Six Hundred and Forty Six Thieves.

Better still the pantomime horse’s arse!!!!
Have you seen that Compass National Conference advertised on this page. The fuckers only have Barrotruffiness Uddin speaking – WTF! “The Robin Cook Memorial Conference’ – the beardy bastard will be spinning in his grave
Baroness Uddin stealing from us
And still invited to speak???
And her Palace in Banglawashie I saw
This is all OBSCENE…
Well then, send emails to Compass, The Gruaniad, New Statesman, CWU, asking what on earth they think that the vile Baroness has to contribute towards ‘advancing the good of society.’
Mention that she has claimed more daily allowances from the House of Lords in one year, than that house sat in that year. Mention that she claims an allowance for a residence that has never been inhabited. Mention that her actual residence is subsidised housing, yet she is a millionaire. Mention that coincidentally three of the housing board directors have the surname Uddin.
Ask how any of the above qualifies her to advance society. Do something!
..that’s what she is
and that’s what liebour do
ABOLISH THE HOUSE OF LORDS
This sick joke can’t go on much longer…
A good dose of swine flu should wipe the old fuckers out.
Go you Fenian.
Its about time you wheeled the missus out, Snotty.
It worked in Glenrothes.
That, and the postal vote.
Mr Martin, go and get your Celtic season ticket and enjoy Rangers thrashing you, preferably at home-you might meet your bovver boy mate Reid while there and mutually commiserate.
The Beeb is saying Gorbals Mick will “make a statement” tomorrow – I wonder if he’s going to brazen it out and stay ’til the election? This would be disaster, and require the intervention of HMQ, and a few pike-wielding Beefeaters.
If Gorbals agrees to go early, I suspect a big fat sweetener will have been offered.
Personally, I’d offer him a few months sewing mailbags.
There will be sweeteners. Having a guarantee his son will inherit his seat. New Labour – new Feudalism.
Thud!
McMental must have someone in the bunker with him who is capable of relaying the truth to unmandated, coronated Prime Mentalist?
Is there no-one who can ask him:
“Prime Minister, think of how history will record these events if you don’t go to the country now – you have no mandate from the electorate & you did not face an election to become leader of the party. Your personal ratings are the lowest for any PM ever, the Partys ratings are at an all time low – you have no authority to go on. Please Prmie Minister, here is the bottle of brandy & the pearl handled revolver. I will leave you now to ponder your immediate life choices”.
Dissolve Parliament.
Correct. Getting on With the Job of….
Fucking Up the Country
Claiming Expenses
Bending over for Mandelbum
Thieving from the taxpayer
Corrupting politics
being a mindless, fuckwit with the econmoy
Taxing and Spending like all good Socialists….
Being completely and utterly socially inept
Just being about the worst unelected leader of this country in as many generations as you can remember.
Just fuck off Brown. Your shit, you’ve lied, you’ve cheated and you’ve brought this country to it’s knees. Like successive LieBour governments, you’re not the best option, you’re a complete train wreck, all scamming and arguing amongst each other whilst all the other lifeboats set sail. And you’ve got a complete Hoon of a Speaker who’s a social and political Disaster Zone. Imagine defending the people who have brought Honourable House into complete and utter disrepute….you’ve even got Obama asking ‘…who the fuck is running Britian…?’. Not you anyway mate and not that purple faced, fat, lying Huhne of a speaker. Fall on your swords and get out of the way and let the country begin to rebuild itself again. Utter shits that you are.
Thank God the press seem more interested in the Labour troughing bastards. Even though I claim over a grand a month of tax payers money for the interest on my mortgage and my chimney is bloody spotless, the media leave me alone. I wonder why? Probably because the missus and I are only worth about 30 million between us and they realise with the credit crunch times are hard for us. Remember, this is the age of austerity.
Davy, this mean you no want me to send more receipts any more? now just for cash eh?
what’s this got to do with this thread’s subject?
Plonker.
I can still spell my name OK..
Someone told me it should be with two bs and no o..
Never mind..
If you put this motion forward..
I am going to go what all good piggies do under pressure…
WEE WEE on the Floor of the House of Commons
That will be what the froggies call a
COUP DE GRACE..
So there…
I see that bloater McCartney is on the front of the Telegraph after paying back £15,000.
They couldn’t get a photo of him so they have used a real pig.
Now if he had claimed £15,000 for a translator so that the English could understand him that may have been believable.
He is an Overlaird of the Jock Junta.
Dissolve Parlaiment.
I always thought he was North Korean
That should be spelt Jock HOONta so that non-Spanish speakers can pronounce it correctly.
Ah but whos approved the sweetner?
And can we all have one?
Speaker Martin should get for his retirement just what the Ceausescus got for Christmas 1989.
Shot.
At least all his privleges removed..
He has disgraced the House of Commons and personally gained illegally..
Now Boris we are going to have to talk about your expenses, what on earth are we going to do about those?
All burnt I’m afraid..
No shredding for me…
I do it properly
So 100% clean as a whistle
G & T please fag..
The Pinot Noir was particularly good that year
It illustrates perfectly the absurdity of our political system that so much carry-on is needed to get rid of someone as corrupt and incompetent as Martin.
For God’s sake
We must prosecute this pig…
Dont’ just let him off the hook..
Otherwise future Speakers will start the same shit all over again..
Correct. He’s a fucking lying, cheating thieving Hoon. Met with truncheons immediately please.
If it was China he would be taken round the back and get a bullet in the back of his head,and in his case I would charge him for the bullet.
The immediate family of EVERYONE executed in China is billed 2RMB for the round used in the execution.
BTW, the body of a person executed by the State belongs to the State which sells any useful body parts to the hospitals run by the PLA for transplanting into the bodies of paying “visitors”
China … Mother of Civilization gave the world paper money, agriculture, but adopted the UK Gov proposal of presumed consent in organ donation…..
DNA databases, ID cards…prepare to be farmed…..
Angry Citizen, those 98 MPs who wanted to have themselves excluded from the FOI tried to have a bill passed excluding themselves.
They could not find anyone in the House of Lords to sponsor the bill.
ttp://www.cfoi.org.uk/macleanbill.html
So yet again, the old fogeys in the House of Lords showed more sense than our elected MPs.
Dont’ forget that there are about 180 of Toney’s Cronies in there…
A british diplomat wanred me about all the shit years ago in fact..
He said that Tony’s cronies were virtually all “bent”…
So take care defending the hOUSE OF LORDS
Some old fogeys might be OK………but there will be collateral damage inevitably when you take the action that is necessary clean up this disaster…
Time to call it a day.
Democracy and openness will prevail in the end, you jumped up Weegee bastard.
Could anything be more depressing than this?
Betting on General Election : In 2009, 9 to 2 against.
In 2010, 8 to 1 on.
Another 13 months to go with this lot of thieves, liars and incompetents.
won’t be that long. they couldn’t risk another budget would be the most shocking in this country’s history.
Oh yes they can do another budget.
The last one was described as ‘Scorched Earth’ – the next one is ‘Nuclear Armaggedon’. Brown is going to/has already realised that he’s not going to get elected – so the solution is to make Conservatives look bad by completely annihilating the economy. There’s serious inflation coming with ‘financial easing’ and expect the IMF to be brought in – again… but it is a ‘financial holiday’ in Browns world!
The thought process is – make conservatives look bad – get re-elected. The electorate are really too stupid to remember labours mistakes – after all – who remembered the winter of discontent in 1997?
Doubt Gorbels Mick will go tomorrow. I bet he stays on until the General Election. There will be no proper reform until he goes. He has made half the mess in the first place.
The price is right Mick…Come on down!
The Hoon !!!!

Just when you think it couldn’t possibly get any worse——
From the Telegraph article, now we know why they only want their investigation to go back 4 years….
“Mr Chapman, who has been a ministerial aide, approached the fees office at the end of 2002 to explain that he was repaying £295,939 of the mortgage on his designated second home in Lambeth, south-east London. This reduced the interest payments – met by the taxpayer – from £1,900 to £400 per month.
“By paying off capital I am forgoing interest and investment opportunities elsewhere,” he told the fees office.”
Where did he get the 300 grand from? Who gives a fuck about your lost opportunities, Huhne.
This just gets better* and better*. Have we got a court with a big enough dock?
*better = worse (newspeak don’t ya know)
Christ on a bike.
Parliamentary sanctioned fraud.
FFS.
Bugger:
“Ed Vaizey, a key Conservative ally of David Cameron, had £2,000 of furniture delivered to his London home when his second home was in Oxfordshire”
You cannot believe how disappointed I am with that. I will definitely be emailing him.
Email sent. Will have to wait and see if he responds. Grand scheme of things it’s small fry, but it’s the principle. He’s my MP and I feel he has abused the trust his constituents have placed in him.
These Tories must be de-selected.
You expect Labour to be incontinent spendthrifts with public money as it’s the only sort the talentless jerks get near.
But these Tory MPs are going against their ethos which is probity with public finances. How can Dave make the public spending cuts required without some hoon standing up and calling him a hypocrite with these MPs still in situ?
I hate the threading — its impossible to scan for new stuff…
Anyway…
Guido – hope you aren’t having an early night… Just saw claims on telly that the fees office *approved* MPs claiming for mortgage payments they no longer incurred !!
Some labour bastard is refusing to repay, because it was approved !
So we not only have corrupt MPs, and maybe complicit HoC officials too – lovely…
OH BOY UK Parliamentary Scandal Daily Telegraph hits the Monday jackpot! http://tinyurl.com/oqnhfv Promote ‘Value for Money’ the only court space with a dock that will hold 650 is – The House of Commons almost purpose built! But will there be a jail big enough? Olympic Village will do security already in place, built over contaminated land highly appropriate
That is loading the Mess Webley for Gorbals Muck
I think he plans to announce his own version of clean-up – which will be designed to be highly divisive. He will ignore Carswell’s motion which will not be called for debate even if it gets enough signatures to represent a majority in the House.
http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/business/edms.cfm
He will announce his attention to carry on troughing and install his son and heir to his seat.
It may take a session with a Deputy Speaker in the chair before matters can be addressed.
There is a good socialist precedent for dynasticism in North Korea with Kim Jong-il succeeding Kim Il-sung.
I thought that was Superman’s real father from the planet Krypton?
The disproportionate “sense of entitlement” of some of these MPs is disgusting. Now we learn that when the Labour MP for Wirral paid off nearly £300,000 of his mortgage, he looked around for someone else to compensate him for the lost “investment opportunities” and found – the taxpayer.
telegraph
“Ben Chapman, a Labour MP, admitted last night that he was allowed to continue claiming for interest payments on his entire mortgage after repaying £295,000 of the loan in 2002.
Over 10 months the arrangement allowed Mr Chapman to receive £15,000 for the part of the home loan which had been paid off. Last night, he said he would not give back the money.
Permission to claim “phantom” mortgage payments is understood to have been offered to several MPs before 2004. It was stopped after Commons officials admitted it should never have been allowed. Michael Martin has been Speaker since 2000 and was therefore ultimately responsible for the arrangements – which has never been independently investigated. ”
he won’t pay it back????? what the fuck???? this is clearly fraud and he won’t pay it back!! shameless, immoral , venal, pathetic, scummy shit.
Follow the money…. he hasn’t got it any more. Has the Labour party seen it since?
Where did a good socialist find £295,000?
Former civil servant with the Foreign Office in Africa and China. I doubt anyone has ever left the FCO without a few, erm supplementary income opportunities.
The Beeb is reporting that Lloyds TSB chairman Victor Blank is stepping down following shareholder pressure, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8054136.stm
Since Broon pushed Blanks arm up his back to takeover the toxic HBOS, then Broon rightly should take 100% responsibility for frigging up the only remaining profitable UK bank and fall on his sword.
Lloyds – “Only remaining profitable UK bank” really? What about HSBC, Barclays, Standard Chartered, and few not on the high street?
Interestingly enough – he was backed by Brown, and the time of his leaving just happens to co-incide with when the next GE is due.
Co-incidence – I’m an engineer, I don’t believe in such things. There’s more to the story, like what’s going to happen over the intervening period.

Dear Speaker Martin
As part of our service on behalf of the General Public (Honest Section) we have pleasure in supplying you with information pertaining to the nearest prison to your constituency. Govenor Bill McKinlay is looking forward to meeting you and sincerely hopes that you will be able to accept his offer of taking the chairmanship of the inmates debating society for some years to come.

On the outskirts of Glasgow, HMP Barlinnie is in an excellent location for a prison being near to the busiest Courts in Scotland and close to the population centre and public transport routes so that visits are readily achieved. The establishment receives prisoners from the courts in the West of Scotland. It retains male remand prisoners and prisoners serving less than 4 year sentences. It allocates suitable prisoners from its convicted population to lower security prisons, including Low Moss, and manages prisoners serving more than four years or more in the initial phase of their sentence until places become available for them in the long term prisoner system.

LOL Im sure Martin is familair with this establishment as many of those who voted for him and his Party are currently staying a few nights here.
It’s not the Bar-L that’s needed here: it’s Carstairs. That’s just south of Glasgow.
Allan@Aberdeen
You’re right about The State Hospital , Carstairs being the proper destination for these hoons .
However , you would need to drive for over an hour from Glasgow to get to
Carstairs . It is therefore as “just south of Glasgow” as Kirkcaldy is “just south of Aberdeen” .
I only mention this as Carstairs Village is strange – even for rural Lanarkshire .
As for Carstairs Junction . Well…..
No he should be put in HMP Peterhead with all the other nonces
Anyone but Ming the Mercenary, not another troughin’ Jock friend of Broon.
Lets have an English Speaker in the only Parlianent the English have got (for now).
I meant ‘Parliament’, but an excess of Tesco plonk (that I paid for myself…) impeded the brain/finger interface.
Lovely
Thank you for this addition..
Dont TOUCH Ming the Meaningless with a bargepole, my friends!
HE is great mates with broon!!
Yes agreed lets have some of those tory troughing c unts or even ed balls and cooper as a double act. Its clearly all the “scotch” to blame as all the Nigels are blameless, well its feckin obvious…….
If the Speaker goes tomorrow it will be a red rag to a bull.
If the Speaker isn’t sacked tomorrow it will be a red rag to a bull.
The party leaders and MPs are no longer in command of events. Whatever they do, it will not satisfy. As these crooks continue to try to “manage” the crisis, they are only making us more angry.
Too little, too late. Not one of them broke cover before the Telegraph went to press. Wipe them out – deselect your MP.

For every minute thiis corrupt dinosaur stays on from the opening session tomorrow = 1 year that Labour will wait to become elected again.
I fervently hope that a new speaker (party irrelevant but impartiality essential) releases all of the expenses data, then, after after a decent interval (for individual MPs to justify their expenses claims) the Queen dissolves Parliament.
I don’t think that it’s essential for the next speaker to be a Tory – it appears (from Wikipedia) that the majority of past speakers have been elected from the ranks of the government of the time.
Surely tonights DT story means Mr speaker is going to Jail?
I am sick of all this. Day after day it goes on. Each new revelation taking disbelief to new heights. The link at 124 is disgusting. These people have no shame. The “Resign” petition is not even over the 60k mark. Is that the limit of those who care about their country? If I was younger I think I’d be looking to emigrate. What a fucking fiasco this country has become.
Email your friends and associates widely and get them to do the same. The petition still has several months to run. No, it won’t get Gordon to resign, but it will be yet another embarrassment for him. The more, the merrier.
I emigrated to Germany in 2006, partly because I thought Britain had become ‘Rip-off Britain’. I didn’t realise at the time that it went all the way to Parliament. Having lived in Germany for nearly three years now, my experience is that Germany seems far more honest and friendly than I was expecting. My only regret is that the present government has caused my pension to have lost almost one third of its value, thanks to their incompetence. Germany and Germans? I love ‘em.
Speaker’s getting a good kicking on The Westminster Hour. Godd performance by Dan Hannan, too
My MP told me today there will be no vote. I suspect deals are being made as we speak.
No vote = Camping site on College Green. Where’s AgitProp when you need them?
Parliament Square not College Green (I lived in Dublin once, looks like the Guiness had an effect)
Therein lies the problem with us Brit. We lack sufficent get up and go to match our anger.
We should be marching on parliament and dragging these bastards out by the scrotum.
Might just have to ask the wimmin to go quietly though. Mmmm, clearly I haven’t thought this one through.

Comment from a voter in Michael Martin’s constituency:
“If Michael Martin fell in the canal I would walk away. We were brought up to be ordinary working class people and always voted Labour. But this is the worst thieving, lying, cheating Labour party in existence. I will never ever vote Labour again.”
Well done Michael Martin and Gordon!!! Look what you have achieved! You need to stay in power for another year. Please. Because then Labour will not get re-elected for three or more generations. Just hang on there.
need to stay in “”Power”"- you’ve put your finger on it. It should be OUR “administration”. Nothing more. “Power” indeed.
Downing Street to investigate Chapman over collusion to pay non-existent mortgage expenses?
Not for them to investigate I’m afraid, Plod have no option now. This could be the breaking point.
Oh what would you give to have Spitting Image on the telly.
Absolutely this is Criminal Fraud, The Plod must investigate this not Jonah. Mr Speaker, Ministers and the PM are NOT above the law.
it’s his bloody shamelessness that’s astounding. “not paying it back” even though it’s clearly theft.
Off course they are above the law,they have placemen in the CPS and the plod,end of.
Spitting image are luvie nu labour champaigne socialist c unts of the highest order. Of course they are not going to to a sketch of this. Fucking Richard Curtis hoons the lot of them !!!
Spitting Image stopped when Labour got back in, in 1997. As soon as Cameron wins the next election then Spitting Image will be back on telly.
Spitting Image, Ben Elton, Mark Thomas, etc will all be back to attack the Tories.
We will even see BBCs Panorama get back to covering UK political issues, something they don’t do under a Labour government.
We pay our licence fee to fund Labour’s propaganda machine.
ABOLISH THE BBC
private media give us all we need thank you
I think Spitting Image was on ITV was it not?
Nice to see the continuing lack of bias from the British Ministry of Truth yesterday. During the BBC Politics Show (southern bit) Labour MPs only in the studio, Tories would not? or did not want to attend. Only expenses mentioned were the Tory moat and tennis court items, nothing about any of the Labour excesses.
We did learn that Labour MPs work very hard and have even saved peoples’ lives.(Celia Barlow, Hove, Lab.)
I have an awful feeling that you’re being premature with this one, Guido. You underestimate the tribalism of the Labour Party – if they see one of their own being threatened by Tories, they won’t hesitate to move in and protect him.
Then the House of Commons will become ungovernable..
Mayhem..
Gorbals will have to call the Police onto the Floor of the House of Commons to stop the mess…
This wil become a 24 hour a day fiasco…
Can you see it ?
I’m not exaggerating…
I’ll get some popcorn & crate of Shiraz in.
I wonder if BBC Parliament will cover it …
Rules governing the broadcasting of parliamentary proceedings say that the broadcasts can be stopped on the orders of the Parliament authorities in certain circumstances. So if the police had to be called in, or there was something else like that, they would fight tooth and nail to make sure that the public didn’t get to see it.
I have often wondered what a punch up in Parliament would be like.
Ladbrokes to put up odds on the face-offs?
Queensbury rules? Thai Kick Boxing? or Judo?
Does any MP have a black belt in anything other than stuffing their bank accounts or in Prescott’s case – mouth and bank account?
Bagsie the Mace!
IF I WERE AN MP TOMORROW AND GORBALS DOES NOT RESIGN
I WOULD THROW THE FUCKING MACE AT HIM
AND BECOME A FOLK HERO LIKE GUY FAWKES..
The old saying, that in many constituencies, you could put a rosette on a pig and it would win, seems to be exactly whats happened.
“Today, it can also be disclosed that a large number of household items such as sofas and dining tables are being bought for MPs’ second homes, as allowed by the expenses rules, but delivered to their main homes, often hundreds of miles away.
Madeleine Moon, a Labour MP, had thousands of pounds worth of furniture delivered to Wales while designating a London flat as her second home;
Ed Vaizey, a key Conservative ally of David Cameron, had £2,000 of furniture delivered to his London home when his second home was in Oxfordshire”
imagine how this one goes. yes please deliver to my main home, not to my taxpayer funded home. i know getting it delivered there is free but i’d much rather store it in my main home for a while and then sort our delivery myself. and the fees office buys this. utter utter bastards.
I suspected this had been happening – can some journalists now knock on a few doors with lists of items that should be on display within? Surely if the items are located in the correct property, the owner/tenant will be only too happy to point them out, to demonstrate that he/she has “done everything according to the rules”?
Plenty of moonlight flits going on right now.
Wondered why the M1 was so busy!
should get some surveillance going and see how many white vans turn up at mps main homes in the next week. A LOT i suspect.
now he’s a good use for the neighbourhood watch team. mp live near you? get the cameras ready.
i mean’t ‘here’s a good use of course’, although pretty obvious what vaizey will be up to tonight.
Jacqui Smith will be working overtime on issuing passports
She’ll be selling fake ID cards… with lines for MPs to learn
No, guv wasnae me!
Ed Vaizey’s my MP
I’ve just emailed him. Will wait and see if I get a response
Slightly edited, but the main bits are still in there:
Dear Edward Vaizey
In all my dealings with you in the past I have been impressed by your hard working ethic and your commitment to local businesses. Your offer to help with the problems at my daughter’s school and raise the issues regarding dyslexia awareness were most welcome.
To say that I am disappointed by the revelations in the Daily Telegraph is an understatement. As my MP you are employed by the constituents you represent. You are not employed to benefit at our expense.
In the grand scheme of things your expense claims are relatively minor, I see no multiple flipping of homes in order to maximise gains from mortgage interest. I do not see frivolous claims for moats.
However as my MP I expect you to act with honesty and integrity. In this matter I feel you have failed.
The Additional Costs Allowance is in place to enable you to function both in your constituency and in London. It is not in place in order for you to furnish your property with the expensive trappings of luxury. It is not there for you to improve your main residence either.
When working on our behalf in Westminster remember that it is us that you represent. You are NOT entitled to a cushy life paid for by the taxpayer. You already earn more than twice the average salary of your constituents. The Additional Costs Allowance is not a topup. It is there for essential expenses. It is not there for furniture, food, property investments or holidays.
The House of Commone=The House of Thieves
I do hope they enjoy the hint they they will get on June 4th,your maj the country is on your side do your duty, please.
With all these concessions made up as they go along, has the fees office been on the take? As for investigations into leaks, when is this fees office going to be investigated for the money it has allowed to haemorrage from the public purse? someone is on the take.
I bet there are no more than 4 to 8 members of staff to deal with the millions of recepts. The bigger an office sounds the smaller it is.
MP’s fiddling just means more and more staff, so getting rid of this nonsense system will save a bit of cash in reduced admin. Win Win (except some MPs losing their jobs and going to jail).
i suspect they were bullied by the speaker and blairites, who all share a totally undeserved sense of entitlement, until it became the norm not to question dodgy claims.
Very good point AF. I bet the “back office” systems are very loose and open to fraud.
whoever they are, they’ll already be preparing their witness statements. Lawyers will make a killing out of this.
Lets see their bank statements
What – the lawyers get to kill the MPs?
B*st*rds! They get to have all the fun!
BRILLIANT POINT
If we saw their bank statements as well$
THERE WILL BE A FUCKING REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY
It’s in the post. I’ve sent it recorded delivery so the probability of it getting to you is zero.
Yeah, where is Mandelson. Gone very quiet.
bilderberg. no doubt the arsehole’s plotting something worse for the country.
Oh it’s Bilderberg meeting time again is it……..
He’s got to find out what to do next somewhere
Greece, this year, I believe
We have seen only too well how Scottish Labour Party politics works.
Speaker Martin knows where the bodies are buried and he will be holding the balls of the upper echelons of the Labour party in his grubby hands; not for pleasure but for coercion.
This could get very messy.
Blair went against tradition and put in place a Labour Speaker even though Labour were in government and with a large majority. I couldn’t believe they got away with it so easily. They’ve got away with far worse since, largely due to a complicit media and ignorant populous. We are in serious trouble now because of what Blair/Brown have been up to and not just financially. I don’t think many people have realised just how historically bad things may become.
What is the sound of one penny dropping?
Even the BBC is running with this latest from the Telegraph.
This could well be the end of the present Government, so many of them will now be tied up helping Police with their enquiries
Looks like the BBC is a dying rat deserting the now burning and s(t)inking ship!
When you look at the stature of previous Speakers Martin does rather stick out as less than adequate. Then again trivialising Parliament is what Labour are all about. So the fact that Speaker isn’t up to the job is immaterial. Look at how the destroyed the post of Black Rod.
Even the argument that he is the common man made good doesn’t hold water either. Betty Boothroyd was million times the person this shallow troughing individual could ever hope to be.
You do realise that Frank Field is a practising Anglican don’t you? We can’t have somebody who represents the official state religion in an important job like Speaker. He shares a common culture with the majority of the country. The majority who pay the majority of the taxes and bare the majority of the load.
The only consolation is that judging by the state of him he won’t be claiming that pension for too long.
Especially after he’s had a few Glasgow kisses.
BBC news showing a replay of Martin being dragged from the bench to take up the speakers chair, now let’s see him being dragged from his chair once and for all.
“It can only get better ” Remember ?
Look at this rabble and what they have cost us.
Anyway… time for bed. Good night. God Bless
… from the speaker’s chair to the electric chair.
Can you book a place in the Old Bailey? If so I’m camping out from tomorrow night.
Just imagine what will come out when Martin is cross-examined. I’ll have to increase my statins I want to be alive to see the whole story unravle day by day. Will put the Telegraph disclosures in the shade
Dream on. It would be fantastic though!
It is becoming more likely every day…
The evidence is increasingly damning…
And criminally so…
Michael Martin is at present the very public face of what people now (some belatedly) come to regard as an indisputable fact about all Labour politicians, soon after they take up any level of office they demonstrate a common failing; “promotion beyond their level of competence”.
They leave their comfort zone once they progress beyond Shop Steward for those from the “working man” side of the party or beyond “Member of the Student Debating Society” for those elevated through todays more favoured route, the career politician.
From this New Labour Government the most charitable and kind-hearted soul will struggle to name one Government Minister who has made a positive contribution to the well being of the Nation.
The Nation does not only wish to see Michael Martin resign they want to see the Government resign and any new General Election Candidates to exclude all who have cheated on expenses, also that any New Government be elected under a Proportional Representation ballot system.
Latest from the Telegraph tonight:
“Parliamentary authorities, overseen by Michael Martin, the Speaker, gave secret permission for some MPs to over-claim for thousands of pounds in home loan interest in deals that led to the systematic abuse of the taxpayer-funded expenses system.
Ben Chapman, a Labour MP, admitted last night that he was allowed to continue claiming for interest payments on his entire mortgage after repaying £295,000 of the loan in 2002.
Over 10 months the arrangement allowed Mr Chapman to receive £15,000 for the part of the home loan which had been paid off. Last night, he said he would not give back the money……. ”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5340293/MPs-expenses-Officials-colluded-over-mortgage-claims.html
If he won’t give it back, the asset recovery people will have to extract it after he’s been sentenced. Can Lonely Planet advise on suitable prisons for Wirral MPs? (Actually, Barlinnie sounds just the ticket).
Are you looking for a new speaker sweetie? absolutely fabulous, look no further.
Don’t worry, the police and CPS are on the ball, they are setting up a committee, a fucking committee, to see if any laws have been broken!! FFS, I have no legal expertise and I KNOW the law has been broken. If this was anyone other than these parasites, doors would be being smashed!!!
I am afraid that you are right. Our boys in blue have had their hands tied over this. They’ve cordoned off whole neighbourhoods for far lesser crimes.
They shot a man dead for carrying a chair leg!
absolutely spot-on! the control of the police is scary isn’t it? Where can you think of that this has happened, not so far removed, in the last 100 years? Or less.
Good News: Gorbals Mick suddenly departs for the USA
Bad News: Nancy Pelosi US Speaker stands in….
Maybe Clegg can get the anti-terrorism plod to go and arrest the fat fucker at his house and then search his office.
… once they’ve worked out which of the odious Scotch fuckwit’s houses is his main residence, naturally.
The Sunday Times did report that gorbals had “waged a reign of terror” so the terror plod have got a good excuse to bang him up for his 42 days without trial.
The Speaker’s Residence is a flat in the Palace of Westminster. Police may not enter without a warrant, which has to be approved by ….
The Speaker
Catch 22 Yossarian
So he’s above the law?
Damian Green will leave the back door open
No
But the Police can arrest him as soon as he leaves the Palace of Westminster…
And his wife before that…
We are back to 1645…
What fun…
Surely a judge would approve a warrant not the Speaker. With Damian Green the sticking point was that the Police didn’t have one but the search was still allowed by Martin/Jill Pay. With a warrant Martin I don’t think Martin would be able to stop them.
One Martin too many. In more ways than one.
Come on Gordon- where are you? It’s Bedtime!
Here I am, see my new YouTube effort
Yes a nice *documentary* on our esteemed leader. It should be compulsory viewing for all political “science” students!
Do you know of anything in a comical vein?
Whole point of cannot receive or uphold (maintain).
The law is intended to root out all the corrupt who paid for titles and recieved them for being – what exactly?
or burning at the stake?
It all started in Hastings………1066
Bloody French Told you Rodney you Plonker
There is no way this trougher Martin ends up in the Lords.
There is no way this trougher’s piglet son ends up in Parliament unless the morons in Glascow are as thick as a whale omlette.
How on earth can any leader say they are cleaning up the commons and then put one of the chief trougher in the Lords.
Simply no way, not acceptable. No compromise position, idiot retires and pays back his ill gotten corn.
If you think things are bad now wait for this one to kick off Gordon.
Of course, Mick Martin’s going to end up in the Lords, you dimbo. These bent fuckers look after each other. Martin is an integral part of the Scottish Labour mafia and they will ensure he keeps his place on the gravy train for the rest of his miserable life.
Dear Fuckwit
See the press and blogs for the past 2 weeks. Do keep up, Muppett.
Fuck off Dolly
Mick will indeed end up in the Lords
Police will have to ask Martin for permission to raid his office. Talk about Catch 22
He’s got nothing to hide so nothing to fear
My money’s on Troffallot Martin suddenly stepping down on ill health grounds before he has to face the baying hounds in the Commons. It’ll be all the stress and everythin’.. herr..hummm.
Let’s face it, he doesn’t exactly look like a keep-fit merchant and just think of the quantity of food his wife brings back in taxis for him to scoff – can’t be doin’ him any good.
Anyway, doesn’t everyone in public service retire on ill health with a full pension? Could be the best way out for everyone in this situation.
I’ve still got the popcorn ready if he does face the House tomorrow.
Gordon Brown gave the OK to all this semi-official thieving on expenses. Mick Martin doesn’t fart without getting No 10′s permission first.
And while on the subject of Gordon Brown, why was he allowed to claim thousands of pounds in expenses for a London flat and for a constituency property when he has lived in Downing St for years?
i wasnt sure , but tonights news about instruction to waive fees through seems like thursdays anon post was correct “by tuesday”
i was also told a big telegraph exposes would appear today , but seems it hasnt has martin story unfolded ,
still edd an yvette , treasury minister reclaiming 4 times there mortgage interest tut tut .
So was the reason gorbals mick had everyone scared was that he would expose there expenses , has he been running another branch of the jock communits maffia for gordon ?? if so parliment has really been corrupted . ceratinly been run badly which he should resign for , but imagine if he is nailed in a sort of blackmail racket .
it fits gordon quite well , bully recruiting less intelligent men and women , and toadies like ed .Its like Palermo
I still think its all been a money making scam to put uk democracy on its arse for a wonk euro socialist wet dream .
i dont know if gordon understands yet , that public want an election as its the only way to sort out the mess , no one trusts him , his tone and language is evasive and he is hiding things .
no one wants this government another day
There must be no reward for failure. Squeaker Martin has failed repeatedly and miserable. Bottler Brown faces serious decision:
Agree to enoble Martin after an election in order to get rid of him but have his shitty odour hanging around through the campaign.
Or
Get shot of him now somehow (presumably without the enoblement).
I expect Brown will do the former for the good of the Party but try to keep it a secret. Cameron or Clegg could really put Brown in the shit by asking at some point in the near future to say for definite that Martin won’t get a title.
Spot on.
Transparency, tell us what you intend to do and we will decide.
Manifesto point #120
- Martin to be denied peerage and investigated for corruption or sheer studity (it is the latter, it is common knowledge the trougher is pig thick.
That would make yet another Labour manifesto lie.
Court case about the european referendum proved Labour manifesto pledges are not worth the paper their written on.
Write to your MP and ask for confirmation.
I’m still awaiting confirmation from my MP (who has written to Cabinet Secretary on my behalf) that McBride no longer works in government or civil service, and never will.
We just can’t trust this lot. Box them in.
I am really proud of my country.
It puts pensioners in prison for not paying a few quid’s council tax.
It actively encourages MPs to claim for Mortgages that they do not have.
It is a great country.
Vote UKIP. The “safe , establishment-approved, alternative. They’re not sleazy. LOL
Now Rancid wants to fill her boots with dry rot from Moran:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1183899/Esther-Rantzen-MP-claimed-22-500-treat-dry-rot-partners-home.html
I suppose at least she’s managed to avoid being a complete BBC luvvie by planning to stand against a Labour MP – who probably won’t be standing anyway by the next election (though the Luton Sainsburys lynching party reported here earlier tamely confined themselves to shouting at her til she ran away in tears).
Oh yes, the sainted Esther, the one who knifed Bernard Braden in the back.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Braden
iirc she tried to sue the BBC for stealing ‘her’ format when they started a new consumer show after That’s Life was canned.
Esther, we saw you on Question time, luv. You’re misinterpreting the public mood. There’s a big difference between furious and clinically insane.
Or I’m wrong and we need to calm down a bit before that election: “Independent anti-sleaze dog who can say ‘sausages’ takes Bury North”.
Speaker’s statement.
Oink oink
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1183948/Home-loan-error-Labours-golden-couple-Mr–Mrs-Balls.html
Yvette Cooper MSC Economics
Edward Balls, Kennedy Scholar of Harvard University
And they genuinely fucked up their expenses claims several times and always to their profit?
What a load of Balls.
Accountancy is not our strongest suit….
Oh dear , I have just seen that the boy wonder Y Cooper went to the same 6th form college that my kid goes to now!
At least my child can add up beyond 10.
Despite the fact that at least one of us is a genius in the science (sides split) of economics both of us made a genuine mistake in trousering 400% more than we were entitled to for our mortgage expenses.
Can we rely on your vote?
*crowd*
No you can’t you Hoons
Of course, thats why we gave you a safe seat with a majority of over 25,000 illiterate NuLabour plebs.
They are now yours to do with what you wish.
“ Chapman, a Labour MP, admitted last night that he was allowed to continue claiming for interest payments on his entire mortgage after repaying £295,000 of the loan in 2002.”
Under Speaker Martin the Fees Office has not been exercising check and control, or any guardianship function, but rather has acted in the role of accomplice to embezzlement.
Inciting, conspiring, aiding and abetting. Lock’em all up.
Where does that nice Mr Ballbag get his hair cut ?
Such panache
Add some leather shorts , a nice tickly little moustache and tomorrow could belong to him.
Heil McMental
The CaUNT Balls IS Adolf Hitlers love child,produced in the bunker (Berlin,not Downing St).
Is Yvette really Ed’s love child ?
Conceived in said bunker ?
She’s a boy, right ?
you just can’t trust anyone these days specially them scotch Huhnes
aye
Especially you two.
Made you enough money yet ?
I have always said
*let me finish*
That Ed would look great in Lederhosen
Despite my loyalty to Gordon I am afraid that off the record I cant say the same thing about her.
Ed will make a wonderful prime minister.
He may be an imbecile but he is my imbecile.
Futhermore he looks great in leather hotpants.
Thank you
He’s not gone yet sadly.
And if his past form is anything to go by he’ll simply try and mollify MP’s by announcing he will go after the next Election. (which was ALWAYS going to happen so is simple P.R. bullsh*t.)
Libs can’t do it by themselves even though they now make the Speakers position almost impossible. The Speaker has to choose MP’s to speak without favour and we’ve already seen that he is a bitter incompetent who lashes out at those he thinks are “out to get him”. So is he going to try and punish Libs now ?
It needs prominent Tories to show some guts and call for him to go now.
That way he will have no choice but to resign immediately.
And good f**king riddance.
Gorbals will not go until the next GE. He’s got far to much to lose, grace & favour home, fat salary & even fatter expenses
Also he’s the fall guy cos make no mistake as all along he’s only done what’s been asked of him by nu labour. As we have seen many times this disgraceful speaker has repeatedly done the bidding of the executive such as refusing to recall ministers who have misled the house to explain themselves etc The list is endless
I haven’t yet seen any suggestion that the expenses system was being used as a tool of the Labour whip. Now that would be a story.
BBC are stating that this is the worst the parliament has been for 300 years
Why cant they just say that its the worst since the establishment of the United Kingdom?
Too many media studies graduates, no historians?
Union of Crowns 1603, but act of union 1707. Westminster Parliament was English up until then. So 300 years is about right.
Too many historians, not enough media studies graduates then!
Has a time been announced for the Speaker’s statement?
They don’t seem to start too early on a Monday.
2:30 Oral Questions – Home Office, including Topical Questions
3:30 Urgent Questions, Ministerial Statements (if any).
The lazy troughing gits usually keep Fridays free as well.
no doubt they say its so they can spend time in their constituency, working.
they’ve probably spent most of the weekend in each other and told their wives that they had to work in London.
Anybody think that Gordon’s eyesight (and/or the health of his child) will suddenly start being discussed after the June 4 elections?
It’s his only honourable way out.
His good eye is evidently on the point of conking out anyway – another reason he is raging all the time.
At one VIP line up he was walking along and shaking hands,John Reid (ex Health Minister etc) had to be moved out of the way as they thought Brown would shake his hand thinking he was a local VIP…..totally true.
The New Zealand govt presented the Commons with the beautiful hand crafted wooden “lectern” at the despatch box – it has now been riddled with holes and marks by Brown as he dug his pen in to it and has to be repaired – FACT.
This man is a walking disaster – the cabinet are so useless they just cannot summon the courage to kick him out.
Always was going to be a disaster.
I had the opportunity to watch this cretin in action for 45 minutes during a flight London-Glasgow whilst he was opposition Chancellor.
At the time I was a Labour voter.
That experience made me detest this man from that day on. Been watching his actions closely since.
Why they let him take over I’ll never know. I only had 45 mins experience and that was enough to tell me this man was a disaster.
In fact when Blair moved out I let a Labour friend know that I wanted McMental to get the job. Was convinced the electorate would find him out within 6 months and consign Labour to the bin forthwith.
I was wrong – it took only 3 months.
Cleggy did good.
He’s read the mood of the country and the country’s going ballistic. ‘Call me Dave’ and ‘Create me a comittee Broon’ think hanging on to the tatters of this seriously damaged institution is going to help matters.
New Labour destroyed democracy and the fine balance of power in this country, The speaker was more than complicit. Drag him out by his heels.
Unfortunately…
I just can’t see him going, we’ve had twelve years of these cretins, they never accept they’re in the wrong. Does anyone really think He’ll not still be sat there this time next week? I wouldn’t put it past Martin and chums to say it’s everyone else that has acted disgracefully and how dare they bring parliament into disrepute.
(I REALLY hope I’m wrong mind).
Clegg and Cameron are both doing well.
Either look like real Statesmen, unlike that bufoon Tosser McMental.
“This is no time for a novice” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leave Michael Martin out of this. When I paid off my mortgage in 2002, he advised me that this was against the spirit of troughing in the House. He insisited that phantom mortgage payments run for another year or so allowing me to trough £15,000. Failure to agree to his proposals would have resulted in me being victimised.
I will not be paying the money back.
Perhaps we will be seeing the police enter the House again. Perhaps the cuffs will be placed on the man wearing ruffs.
Hold off a tad, Beezer. If an honest politico is what is needed in the chair then that leaves Dennis Skinner or Hillary Benn. The Den or the Benn? Jiminy!
martin will say he will step down at the GE thus ensuring he goes to to lords with trough intact; nothing will change. Pious expressions of regret and humility all round and a hope that all will go away . The electorate, pen poised in the polling booth will revert to type (those who bother to vote)
and the whole sorry shambles will continue as before with a fig leaf of expenses reform tacked on.Taxes will rise and the slow decline of this country weighed down by intolerable debt levels and bloated public sector will roll on.
All elections will do is to shuffle a few deckchairs around as the process of
slow economic decline evolves.
I hope i’m wrong but I don’t think so; emigrate or just put up with it (or perhaps go with the flow and join the public sector and pray foreigners will keep lending us money to keep this unaffordable bullshit going).
I fear you are spot on, unfortunately.
Hoping I have enough capital left over after taxation to move abroad and watch the remaining train crash from afar.
Cameron’s new government is the last chance – but it will be very painful indeed.
Tin Helmets on everyone !
Martin could always get a job as technical advisor on Slumdog Millionaire II, the story of a rancid tub of lard who rises high in politics and wealth but trashes centuries of tradition in the process.
He only aspires to be my peer
Or maybe a technical adviser on the follow up to The Silence of the Lambs as he sticks two fingers up to the UK taxpayer today and announces “Shut it, Ewes” ??
I fear this crooked scum will still try to stay in position “until the next election” – DO NOT EXPECT THIS CROOK TO RESIGN – like the ultimate fraud Brown,he will have to be prised out of Westminster finger by finger.
I expect him to say “fuck you all” today in his statement and try to stay.
This will then lead to massive 1M plus people demonstrations in London on Wednesday,leading to Brown having to resign by Friday.
A very fitting farewell too, I’d say.
Hope your dream becomes reality.
Martin will announce resigning at GE.
This is simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
limo for martin…
As in the Godfarther?
As in from Springburn to Parkhead on match day.
What will he call himself when he gets to the Lords.
Lord of the Pigs
Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Piggery
Lord of Uppersnoutdown.
Jack
Pigs do get slaughtered,you know.
And his wife ?
Surely “Lady Muck”
On reflection it should be
Lord Lowersnoutdown
I’m not that confident anything serious will happen because:
1. Gorbals must have some serious shite on Broon,so he will want to keep him sweet.
2.NuLabour always follow the same tactics – Talk tough and do fuck all. What happened to the legislation which was going to force Fred the Shred to pay back his pension……?
3.If Gorbals quits, it’s by-election time and McDoom will not want one of those anytime soon. Especially if it risks losing to the SNP, who he would all send to Guantanamo if he could get away with it.
So,it will be DoubleSpeak time with a vengeance. What we will get is various statements which can be interpreted in many different ways. As long as the messages are confusing enough,we can be diverted into arguing with each other.But nothing will change.
This has been the plan for dealing with bad news which cannot be denied in the past 12 years. They are arrogant enough to think it will carry on working.
Gorbals may go, but there is a nice quango somewhere waiting for him and a seat in the Lords once the shouting has died down.
This is why they are utterly,utterly useless and will never change anything
Corrupt Scottish CaUNT speaker will try to hang on – just you watch today – he has no intention of going and the world will watch aghast as he sits there and tries to stay.
My guess is he’ll anounce standing down at next election. That’s not good enough.
The greedy b’stard has stashed enough money aside and his pension will be astronomical. Doubt if he’ll be appointed to any board though – this protozoan can barely talk, let alone discuss, plan and write in basic forms.
A seat at Celtic Park with his NuLabour scum friends , rather than a seat in the Lords is all this piece filth can look forward to.
He’s still just another Glasgow thug. He just operates at a slightly different level…
Aujourd’hui c’est le 28 Floreal CCXVII
Monsieur Mick, preparez-vous. Madame la Guillotine vous attend.
But Labour MP Jim Sheridan accused Mr Carswell of making “a career out of attacking the Speaker” and said Mr Clegg had been “opportunistic and cowardly”.
He told BBC Radio 4′s Today programme the Speaker could not come on TV or radio to defend himself and was angry and frustrated at being attacked by “opportunists” through the media.
“He’s a human being after all – I think people should remember that.”
*** Perhaps, but surely one of the lowest forms of Human Being ?
“Opportunistic and cowardly” are, in contrast, a perfect description of Speaker “Gorbals Mick” Martin. He’s an embarassment to his party, his country and himself. He’ll always be remembered as the greedy & bloated unacceptable face of NuLabour’s fall.
My name is Martin and I am taking the michael !
What gets me more than anything else is that Martin honestly believes that his MP’s seat can be passed on to his son, as though through some ‘royal’ proclamation. Hopefully the people of Glasgow North East can demonstrate that nepotism has no place in elections.
Don’t hold your breath on that
Voting Labour is a communicable disease passed down through generations.
Similar to the terrible Aids virus widespread in countries such as Zimbabwe, it destroys communities, destroys pride and self-esteem, ruins education, creates desolation and poverty, induces a sense of hopelessness which almost certainly causes utter despair then premature death.
Fortunately, the parts of the country generally unaffected by this virus usually prosper.
Local ZaNU Labour party officials often siphon large sums of intended relief aid money into their own pockets.
Three days ago I tried to leave a petition on the No10 website, we the undersigned have no confidence in the Speaker of the House of commons.
It all seemed to working untill I had to provide a short name to be used in the web address. I used the obvious like speaker, martin etc and each time it came up with the fact that these where already in use. In the end I got creative and and made stuff up just to test it out.
Oddly enough these where all already in use as well, maybe someone has already called him alientwat or troughmickey.
Seems that gormless gordy doesn’t want another 50,000 plus petition telling his lying, troughing shit of a speaker to fuck off as well.
Have a look at the “Gordon Brown resign” petition on the Downing St website – it is only at 59,000 signatures – having hardly increased by 5,000 in the last week – there is clearly some manipulation going on to prevent the true number of signatures to be registered.
i accuse the government of fraudulently preventing the signatures to be registered.
Let me tell you something about “Scottish” politics. You could put a monkey in any Labour seat anywhere in Scotland and the population would vote for them. Allus ha\ve allus will.
Correct.
And will always feel the pain of povery as a result
If I wasn’t going to turn Tory before the next election, I would have turned Scottish and run for a safe Labour seat to keep my expenses flowing in the manner to which I have become accustomed (nice bit of grammar eh?) Gorbals Mick’s seat will soon be available and so it’s tempting, but when I think about all that Dom Perisummat, caviar pie and those fresh and willing Tory “diary secretaries! waiting for me across the floor, I realise that being a Tory will have its compensations, so it’s blue for me next time and fuck the poor people
Have I ever said that I do not want to be Prime Minister?
Do they want a Prime Minister in Scotland?

I have heeded the words of the wise contributors here and elsewhere and I decree that Gorbals Mick must go forth from the place where his behaviour has offended me grievously. He must go forth from that place into the obscurity which he so richly deserves and never again cause me to look upon his countenance. If he goes to the place where so-called “lords and ladies” gather to spend yet more of my peoples’ money, I shall cast him down into the dust and be done with him. So sayeth the Lord.
I read today that UKIP have registered Libertas with the Electoral Commission in order to spike the Libertas campaign – If true I’m very disappointed as such machinations are very Nu Labour & I don’t want anything to do with any party that’s behaves like – Very sad
Well, now we know: Mr Speaker – you’re a fool.
During the non-debate, some twat has hauled himself onto his hind legs to support the fool, pompously chuffing:
“There has never been, in the history of this House, such an attack on the Speaker”
Perhaps that’s because there has never been, in the history of this House, such a venal, partisan, incompetent fuckwit as this Speaker.
Like im doing this research paper on legalizing pot.
And i love the information that u have given me! Thank you!
