+++ Moran’s Andalucian Villa +++

Who Paid for This?

That makes how many properties?  Expat website the Olive Press reports Moran has made money renting her fourth home, a luxury property in the Alpujarras:

She has rented out the four-bedroom villa in Granada at various times since buying it in 1984… Holiday lettings agency Rustic Blue confirmed to the Olive Press that it had rented out the luxury property in Padre Eterno, near Orgiva on a number of occasions.

How much taxpayers money has she and her husband had to fund her lifestyle?

        She’s got more experience in housing than an estate agent. Although estate agents by comparison are a lot nicer and far more trustworthy.

        This bit from the Olive Press article takes the biscuit:

        Miss Moran said: “It is all within the claims policy and that’s why I’m angry about this because it gives the incredibly misleading impression that somehow we’ve been dodgy, that we’ve been fraudulent or we’ve been corrupt. “Nothing is further from the truth.”

        What an utter troughing hoon this ZaNuLab Piggy is – and she doesn’t even think she’s done anything wrong!

      Good move, follow the dosh, this girl has been sloppy in raping the tax payer, a real snout trougher of the worst kind, because she beleives she is a decent and successful individual and cant see how grubby she is. Lock her up, has she declared her worldwide income I wonder.

      Somebody needs to look into the “eQuality Networks Ltd” she and Mick Booker are running.

      http://www.equalitynetworks.org.uk/

      The business address is a domestic house at:

      eQuality Networks
      1 Mullion Close
      Luton
      LU2 7XF

      With just a mobile phone contact number (07896 619 249).

      Are they even paying business rates on the property at 1 Mullion Close?

      It looks like cash comes in from taxpayers and in return they get lame ‘out-of-the-box’ websites that nobody visits.

      This eQuality Networks bollox is just a middle-man between those who pay (taxpayers) and those who do (producers of websites etc.) that charges a fee.

      Clearly Margaret Moran are Mick Booker loathsome money-grubbing pigs. It’s almost a certainty eQuality Networks is a massive scam.

        “On 26 February 2008 Equality Networks Limited was holding £53,176, most of that in the bank, although £1,000 of it was in the form of equipment (probably a couple of computers). There is no mention of corporation tax, although a small amount may have been due.

        All we know is that on that date, Michael Booker and Nicholas Paul Murray controlled a fund of just over £52,000 in cash. After that, no information. The current accounts are overdue and have not been submitted to Companies House.”

        Futher details, including FT link, which has further letters and breakdowns as to where the money might have come from.

        Thank you for the info ‘Woman on a Raft’.

        It’s beginning to shape up as a money laundering operation. Corrupt scum in quangos and government departments give grants to eQuality Networks Ltd (obviously for kickbacks) for shite £50 websites and £5 reports cut and pasted from the Internet, then all the left over money is shared out between them all. They all cynically pretend they have done good and helped the disadvantaged. It’s evil.

        eQuality Networks Ltd is also used as a vehicle for selling the influence of pig-faced retard Margaret Moran MP. I wonder how many of her questions and activities relate to cash given to eQuality by private companies.

        The blurb on the eQuality website is cynical and vile:

        “We are a Black and Minority Ethnic group led social enterprise committed to investing into the regeneration of communities.”

        It should read, “we are filthy trash lying and thieving to everybody. We specialise in thieving taxpayers money.”

        I am 100% convinced eQuality is a criminal operation.

        Oh – there’s a thread below on pig-face (that I missed). Also, the Telegraph has gone into more detail about her fuckmuppery today:

        http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5364488/Dry-rot-MP-Margaret-Moran-helped-husband-gain-10000-lights-contract—MPs-expenses.html

        I hope she goes to prison. The dry rot £22k bill was obviously a load of bollox (she’s a pig-faced scammer).

        She abuses her position as an MP to strong-arm local authorities and charities into handing over cash to the ‘eQuality Networks’ money grubbing outfit run by her dirt-bag husband. In return for their £20,000+ donations they crap back (£50 web site, £10 report cribbed from the Net etc.) from ‘eQuality Networks’ and the property empire of pig-face gets bigger.

        The brochure of ‘eQuality Networks’ is criminal:

        http://www.equalitynetworks.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/eqnbrochure.pdf

        “Whether you need to promote your work, discuss new projects or planning strategies we can help. From legislative advice, relationship building and arranging meetings to parliamentary receptions or political briefings – we have the unique experience to act as a one-stop-shop in government and parliamentary relations.”

        In other words pig-face Moran is 100% for sale and she’ll use all the resources of parliament to line her own pockets.

        Luton appears to be a rotten borough of epic proportions. It seems the rats on the local council are always chucking public money at the ‘eQuality Networks’ scam.

        Will pig-face end up in prison?

      It’s really terribly, terribly badly over the top. I shudder to think what foreigners must be thinking about us. We, who saved the World, and Showed All Humans The Way To The Door Out Of Hell, and Pointed To It While Speaking Into A Loud Hailsham, are shown up as a bunch of astonishingly-uncurious and biddable helots who just want to watch the Apprentice, or its chav-equiv Big Brother. (I did type Big-Bother, but it somehow didn’t cut it for me.)

      Look, we _know_ these Blairbabes and all those others on the make from “Social Sciences” “departments”, who came into Parliament in 1992 and after, were only in it for the money and power, but it’s one thing to be an old lefty caught with your hand in the till like Wilson’s lot, and another to blatantly grind the faces of the poor.

      The poor would give their eyeteeth to live in a place like that at times that suited them – let alone Marbella.

      The woman is a first-order shit, and ought to have no shoes, and now go and do what poor old Profumo did for the rest of his llife, for a crime much less teeth-gritting.

        Mr Troffin,

        I trust you won’t take this the wrong way, but I see a slight problem with your logic there, old bean.

        Had Mrs M been reusing old headed writing paper, this implies that she had already used the monogrammed side for something else (her grocery list, calculations of her expenses, plans for home improvements, whatever). If this is the case then surely she’d be using the plain, reverse of the paper for her missives to the Spanish pubic and we’d be none the wiser.

      Ok Wikipedea……

      For the 1997 election she was again selected to stand for election for Labour, though on this occasion through an all-women shortlist. This method of selection was subsequently declared illegal in January 1996 as it breached sex discrimination laws. Despite the ruling she remained in place as the candidate for the following year’s election. She was elected in 1997.

      So her ENTIRE career is an illegal mess. Despite the selection process being declared illegal…….FFS… that means that she should be de selected in any case and a legal method put in place.

      it gets worse.

Once humbled, if that is possible, and with the genuine prospect of the same happening should they do it again we might just have the chance of a genuine house that represents the will of the people.

        Of course, that house cannot represent us while we remain in and totally subservient to the EU (why my conscience and belief vote is UKIP) but let us clean this shit house up first and then move onto the bigger big sty.

    From Wikipedia: “In 2007 a Spanish Court ruled that she had illegally blocked a right of way on her property in Spain by installing a gate and digging up the path with an excavator. She was ordered to make the area as it was.[21] She also illegally used House of Commons stationery during the matter, something which she denied. However on 14 May The Daily Telegraph showed a photograph of the notepaper bearing the distinctive crowned portcullis of parliament and House of Commons, London. On it a hand written note in Spanish and English said “Please note – this road is private & closed. Please remove your motorcycle from our land. Moran family.”

    When these claims, which she denied, appeared in two Sunday newspapers in England, Ms Moran contacted media solicitors Carter Ruck and put their £881.25 bill through on her Incidental Office Expenses account, which is meant to cover the running cost of an MP’s constituency office.”

    What do you reckon?

    Bob the Builder bills her £22K to fix ‘dry rot’ in Southampton, but what if that was only a £11K job?

    She expenses the lot and then Bob goes out to Spain for a couple of weeks to work on the villa in Spain for ‘free’ (probably had to take Muck and Scoop with him too).

    Plus would be interesting to see what Moran actually paid in cash… a bit of forensic accounting on her bank payments, the Bob’s books, etc. might be revealing.

    Expenses – Can we fix it? Yes we can!

    The ripe smell of manure coming from all directions is overpowering. Unfortunately the idea of either Dodgy Dave or Golem clearing the mess up will not have credibility until they – and their senior ministers/shadows – publish all details of all their expenses claims back to the day they entered parliament. Only then can we determine if they are any better than the likes of Moron. (Naturally we should not hold Oiks purchase of suspenders against him).

    The reason why this will not end anytime soon is that most of them were probably attracted into Parliament because of the perceived ‘perks’ and by an interest in making the Country a better place to live in.

    But make no mistake, a lot of this came about as a result of Thatcher’s refusal to give them all a big pay increase.

    My view is that most of them are not worth the current salary let alone ‘allowances’ on top.

    I think they should be made to prove that academically, eperientially and managerially, they are competent to do the jobs before they are paid this level of remuneration.

    Not many of them will come up to the mark and far too many of them to my mind are either career politicians or lawyers.

    It’s that old joke Question “what do you call a 100 lawyers at the bottom of the Sea?” Answer “A Start”.

    I think the same now applies to politicians.

    But joking aside, the Parliament should now be dissolved because when it comes down to it, how many of us want to be bound by laws made up by this shower of shits?

    I don’t normally place much faith in Wikipedia. But this seems to have legs (sorry if anyone else has already posted it):

    ‘Moran is ‘patron’ of [16] eQuality Networks Limited, a company of which her partner, Mick Booker, is Company Director. eQuality Networks claims to be “committed to investing in the regeneration of communities”. The Financial Times has made allegations of impropriety regarding Moran’s involvement with EQN, including using Parliamentary resources to support its operation and to win new business. Although she denied having done so, the FT claims to have seen copies of relevant letters, written by Moran on House of Commons headed paper.’

    At my command, unleash hell! says:

    Theres another dimension to all this expenses stuff, not exactly connected directly to it but in there amongst one of the things that needs desperately fixing; The issue of truth.

    The fact is that no matter which set of bastards gets in, i know i am absolutely sick of hearing them say one thing then do something else.
    There needs to be a sanction taken against them for actively telling lies or being in anyway untruthful.
    Take Blubberguts Brown and his treachery regarding a vote on the eu constitution.
    For such a blatant disregard for honesty and truth these bastards should be prosecuted for deception.
    Parliament and democracy absolutely depends on truth and honesty and when these turds effectively shit on those principles in favour of their party demands then it erodes respect and integrity for any honest mps in there.

    The other issue is all this bullshit about following the party line.
    Fuck that!
    An MP’s primary responsibility is to the constituents who voted for him, thats who he is responsible to, and NOT in any way for the party.
    The party is pretty much a loose collection of like minded individuals all pulling in the same rough direction.
    Loyalty should no way be over and above the wishes of the electorate because then the party becomes more important than the public.

    This needs to stop and stop now.
    No more “whips” either. These fuckers actually need a proper whipping.

    MP’s of all persuasions seem to believe theyre the master and the public is the servant, but theyve gotten their roles reversed, still it dosent prevent them from attempting to pursue methods to portray them as being the servant whilst all the time being the master.

    And there again is the nub of the problem; Honesty and integrity- they have none so how on earth can we expect them to carry out our wishes and look after our needs when theyre so bereft of morality at even the most basic levels?

    Dont vote for any of the 3 major parties is the only thing i can think of doing that will capsize the boat and spill the whole corrupt bunch of them into the shark infested waters of a real democracy!

Any decent Speaker would have told the pathetic bitch to sit down and stop wasting Parliament’s time, but of course Gorbals Mick allowed Grimacing Gordon the Gurning Gimp to wish Luton Town well, thus condemning them to an eternity in the Rymans League.

    Seriously, this troughing bitch needs an Act of Attainder passing on her ass, followed by a public execution on Tower Hill. If they sell the broadcast rights to Sky that will go a long way to paying off the national debt. Mind you, the porking bitch hasn’t got the thinnest neck, might take a few swings of the axe.
