    Nice one but they really aren’t all the same. I would suggest they are proportional to the population.

        it is easy for the super rich MPs to make out we are all crooks!

        Have a look at what the smug Tory turncoat bastard Sean Woodward has to say. If we were married to an heiress and multi-millionares in our own right we could take the moral highground. But we are not so we trough. What’s wrong with that?

        I did post this elsewhere, but the Germans bombed the Commons in WW2. I’d like to know if the pilots who did that are still alive for two reasons

        1. To congratulate them

        2. To ask them if they’d like to try again, about 12:00 on a Wednesday afternoon would be a good time.

        Bollox to Shaun Woodward and Gordon Brown’s claim that politics is a profession – they need qualifications and training.

        So Mr(s) consultant surgeon – which college did you go to?

        Oh no, no college, no experience, no fucking training, it just seemed like a good gig and all my chums were doing it, so I thought – hey, why not.

        Fair point, yes – it’s my penis – I seem to have a problem with my penis – carry on.

        Bloody arrogance when none of the twats can do sodding addition.

        Ester Rancid doing a Martin Bellend in Margaret Moran’s Looton South shithole – praise be – swap one hypocritical pointless turd for one with slightly more experience of being a hypocritical pointless turd. They just don’t fucking get it.

        Politics, ya know, it’s all about caring and having home made opinions and shit. No it fucking ain’t – it’s about administrative scrutiny and getting the public sector to a vaguely affordable and efficient state – oh, but the fucking (insert cause) kiddies are cold etc etc.

        The solution to the expenses furore is simple.
        Money launder it, that’s what I do.

        I claim the maximum, £23,083, which I wash through a mortgage.
        Spend most of the proceeds on white powder and Croation prostitutes, they’re the best.

        That way you don’t need receipts, David Cameron does the same.

        By the way he was actually being interviewed about the governments srappage proposal so called starting today. We ll it’ already all buggered up as their are serious questions about funding and company’s are boycotting it. Can’t even get that correct.

        Mandleson said though quite clearly
        “Anyone with a car over 10 years old can get a £2000 pound rebate” but as far as I know its “up to a £2000″ rebate. Lying hoon.

        The rebate will onlycovver 88 days anyway by which time depreciattion puts you back to square one. A big con then really.

    Norman Stanley Fletcher MP, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences: you will go to prison for five years.

    I’ve had to give commenting a rest for a couple of days; I’m so fucking angry I would burst a blood vessel!!

    I truly feel like standing as an independent at the next election. Just one pledge; to represent my electorate – no party politics, just voicing the electorates’ views.

    As for the existing bunch – Fuck’m; most come across as party arsewipes; certainly not representing the local views of those they are meant to represent. What has this country come to that we allow ‘Clubs’ to decide our laws and how we live our lives, democracy is a dead duck. We are rules by party politics that pays no regard to the voter, but every regard to the ‘Party’ (at our expenses in more ways than one)

    I’M SICK OF THEM!!!

    PS. Labour: Tory are also bad; just you guys made an art of appealing to the common man whilst are fucking them to get rich at the same time. (Tories were already rich you might say. But they earned their money; you guys all have degrees in Law but can’t fill in a form correctly; twats!)
    PPS. Labour: Are you ignorant or incompetent, make up your mind. The Rules are easy – ‘just add honour’. Same applies to all MPs

No votes for the Greens as they don’t like atomic energy, what happens to defence??). I will vote UKIP, I could and would never vote for BNP,NF nor Communist. I want freedom, not control.

      I read the profiles and ‘message statements’ of the first two on my local Jury list (Eastern).

      The first guy is probably OK but is so full of waffle and jargon – every other word is ‘meangful’ or ‘insightful’ – it’s impossible to form any idea of what he stands for (if he knows, beyond the vaguest good intentions). The second on the list is a vegan who sounds like an animal rights nutter.

      I made my excuses and left! The idea is fine – a raft of independents resposive to local wishes. But it will take time for the right kind of person to be attracted. I wouldn’t vote for either of those two.

    If people really want the Speaker to go (and they do, they REALLY do) then I’m afraid Dave will have to get off the fence on this one and call for his resignation too as Clegg on his own will not be enough.

        Perhaps you think she should do a 5 minute youtube on Expenses reform too ?
        Meanwhile in the real world..

        All Cameron has to do is say Martin should resign. Is that so hard ?
        He’s going to lose the initiative to Clegg if misses this chance.

        And BTW sending wee Willie Hague around the Newsrooms with the mealthy mouthed piffle about the Speaker being a “distraction” fools nobody.

        Martin has to GO and GO NOW!

        You want to change the system who is in CHARGE of Parliamentarty standards for MP’s and oversees the Fees Office obviously matters.

        Either Cameron has the balls to speak up and say he has to go or this fool Martin, who is exposed even more in the Telegraph today, will drag Parliament and all the Parties down with him as he bumbles his hamfisted way through trying to oversee the most far reaching, necessary and publicly scrutinised reforms the system has seen in living memory.

    • 195

      Agreed-but-the REAL reason why Dave WONT condemn Martin is that he fears a Scots backlash (cos he thinks the Scots will see it as a snub against one of their own!)

      This , however, shows how out of touch Dave is with the prevailing mood up here-the Scots are in the mood to string him, and the other thieving liebourites up, should they show face up here!

        Don’t worry, since 2004 the “rules” were apparently “tightened up”. Can you believe the numpties who ever thought that caliming £1500/month for a non-existent mortgage was in any way going to be OK?

        This case, and the Telegraph says there were others, does make me wonder again what kind of idiopts we have in the Commons.

        Chapma paid back £300k and reduced his mortgage from 1900 per mont to 400 per month, which sounds like his mortgage before the reduction was of the order of £380,000. Assuming MP’s salary at the time was about £60k, it looks like he ahd a mortgage on an income multiple of over 6x. This was his second home, so did he also have a mortgage on his “Main Home” I wonder? Who gave him a mortgage at this level, based on his unreliable MP’s salary and limited earning power outside Westminster (surely he didn’t have a second joib did he?)

        Of course he might have had a joint mortgage with his spouse , based on two incomes, but then he wouldn’t have been claiming the full cost of the whole mortgage would he?

        Too many questions about this, not least being why this odious little man thinks he can brazen the whole thing out without even paying the money back (with interest please Mr Chapman). He should have a visit from the Met later today and start having his assets recovered by the taxpayer as soon as possible. Jail is the place for Chapman to think about what he’s done.

      • 191
        P1 says:

        You were right, it is a joke, but it’s on us. If Chapman’s not out of the Labour Party by lunchtime and under arrest by tea-time this country will be the poorer for it. Where’s 42 days detention without trial when you really need it?

        By the way, doesn’t the fact that we’d never heard of low-life like Chapman, Moran, Uddin etc before the last couple of weeks just go tos how that Parilament is over-run by incosequential busy-bodies with time on their hands? Sack the lot and start again.

        It is unfortunate that the decent MPs are being tarred with the same brush as the criminals. A bit unfair really, much like life.

    Dogger says:

    Raising the sour, egregious and talentless Muhammadist ‘Udders’ Uddin to the peerage in 1998, Blair was attempting a calculated symbolic move in the game of diversity engineering and an act of openly provocative contempt against the House of Lords.

    Installing the chippy, irascible and belligerent fool Gorbals Mick as Speaker was likewise a masterstroke in Labour’s bitter and unreciprocated campaign of class war antagonism and also an act of openly provocative contempt for the House of Commons.

    Nu Labor actively sought out and potentiated the corruption that these two brought to their culture-fuck stew and gave their self-serving vileness prestige and agrandissement.

    It will be a delightfully dangerous move for Labour now to unceremoniously ditch Gorbals as he knows where bodies are buried. But they have little choice as they are cornered. Expect fair-minded and complimentary language to be used soothingly as they withdraw their hand from the filthy stinking sock-puppet that they created – behind the scenes some emollient deal will be stitched up to keep his brogue in his gob.

    Udders, of course, will go unscathed – for obvious reasons.

      Referring to Uddin as “Muhammadist” skates extremely close to racism, which should never enter in to politics. Yes, she may have been ennobled for reasons of her religion rather than reasons of her talent, but being openly scathing about her religion just gives the left ammunition when they say the right is racist (Something I hear often in my left-wing dominated industry).

      Let’s keep this on the level – I’d rather not give the left any more ammunition than they already have to keep power (However unlikely that is).

    Well done you slimy thieving piece of shit.

    But only one other MP saw the threat of exposure. One ACL Blair.

    He went one better than the fat dwarf. Blair arranged, possibly through McCartney, to have his receipts destroyed. It was called an aqccident.

      The Gordon Riots refers to a number of events in a predominantly Protestant religious uprising in London, England, in 1780, aimed against the Papists Act 1778, “relieving his Majesty’s subjects, of the Catholic Religion, from certain penalties and disabilities imposed upon them during the reign of William III.” The uprising then became an excuse for widespread rioting and looting by others.

      From the Telegraph:

      He wrote: “In the light of reforms debated and implemented by a resolution of the House on July 3, 2008 I have been looking at my claims to ensure that I am satisfied in their accuracy. In respect of this claim it is accurate and allowable and was deemed as such by your department at the time.

      “I feel very strongly that the money should be returned to ensure consistency and to assist the House in its ability to retain public confidence.

      “After due consideration I believe the proper option is to meet the full costs of decoration, furnishings and soft furnishings by way of an immediate repayment to the ACA account.”

      Mr McCartney confirmed last night that he repaid the full amount of £14,914.10 on August 4, 2008 by way of a cheque.

      His decision came two months after the Speaker and the House of Commons authorities lost a High Court case to stop the release of details of MP’s expenses on their second homes.

      He said: “Following the change in the rules I personally decided to ask for an audit of my old accounts, based on the new system. That was my decision, of my own volition.

      “All the amounts that I have claimed were within the rules and appropriate and had been approved. Despite the terrible flaws in the system I have done everything humanly possible to do the right thing by people.”

      What price ‘respect’?

      Around £130k, it would seem.

      That is the hostage to fortune of our country vs. what I thought was a largely ceremonial but now realise is yet another hugely over-powerful unelected (by us) position: The Speaker of the House.

      This is the amount this petty little man will ‘lose’ if he stands down now, rather than clinging onto the wreckage that is the credibility of our nation’s Parliament.

      It is ironic that it all still boils down to money in a grubby individual, public ‘servant’s’ pocket.

      And as the attempts to make it just about him, and his office, continue, and fail to distract the public disgust at the whole rotten system, egged on by too many in the privileged media classes jockeying for position and favour in the new Westminster order, I am also struck by the disconnect of the way this little lot behave vs. the way they have required the rest of us to, often with ever more draconian laws and penalties.

      What private organisation would be allowed to function for so long with rampant bullying? Even Mr. Martin’s few supporters, eerily reminiscent of Mr. Brown’s, seem to concede that while he can be affable, he has a vile temper and is not to be crossed.

      Our country seems to be suffering from a culture of thugees who got to the top by truly awful behaviour and practices, and in their falls are more interested in dragging us all down with them for minor personal gains.

      As I hear of the Tamil Tiger leader fighting to his last youthful acolyte before topping himself in yet another deluded Downfall remake, I wonder how often we are to be cursed by history repeating itself?

    When I actually hear Cameron calling for that incompetent idiot Martin to go then I’ll credit him with actually wanting to change the system and not just going through the P.R. damage control motions while hoping the public forgets about all this.
    (They won’t. Not in a month. Not in a year. Not in 5 years )

    Martin would be finished if the two opposition Parties came out against him.

    So what’s stopping you Dave ?

    The big danger now is that whole expenses row gets funneled into “The Speaker Must Go”, at which point most of the public loses interest and turns to the sports pages instead.

    By what process did a backbench MP with a sole (apparent) income of around £60000 manage to trouser a mortgage of £300k?

    For years it has been perfectly obvious that MPs on fairly modest salaries have been living in properties that could not conceivably have been afforded via standard. conventional mortgages.

    Lord Madybumfondler was merely the apex of this particular scandal, which I confidently expect will never to be investigated. Nevertheless, it would be an interesting and profitable exercise to discover who has been colluding with MPs to dole out preferential mortgages on vast multiples. Interesting questions would concern what proof of income was required and how the MPs managed to convince their lenders of their ability to pay?

    I have no doubt at all that many have abused their position to gain a financial advantage. Equally, I have no doubt that Inspector Knacker will not be interested in pursuing this particular area of corruption.
