    Unbelievable just how out of touch these tossers are. Even when confronted with a room full of angry people, he’s still self-deluded enough to think 3/4 of them were supporting him.

    Let’s just hope the good folks of Bracknell make it even clearer to him what they think of him come the next election.

      Politicians in general are just automatic liars, and now they have been shown to be automatic thieves, too. Time for a REAL change, not just leafy pruning: root and branch work, top to bottom.

        Three quarters of those in the room supported me – ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha, ha – what a wanker. Thats like the Yorkshire Ripper saying three quarters of his victims had no problem with what he was doing. This sleazy little spiv must answer in court for his thieving.

        I have just seen on Sky that the Scottish trougher Ian McCartny (ex labour chairman) will not stand at the next election due to health reasons. The little bastard thinks if he claims health issues everything will be ok.

        There were severaly interesting responses to Any Questions this lunchtime. Somebody phoned in who’d been working on some No.10 initiative or committee with politicians parachuted in to advise.

        He sounded as though it had been rather frustrating experience and recounted how one of them had taken him aside and said, “You have to understand that we politicians operate ‘above the cloud cover’ of everyday life”. His point was that once they get into Parliament they join this elite establishment, and consider themselves above the rest of us, whatever background they come from. It shows.

        Winston Churchill once said says:

        “The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst”.

        “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is”.

        http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/recession/5373334/SandPs-warning-to-Britain-marks-the-next-stage-of-this-global-crisis.html

        Closing paragraphs from the above DT 230509: S&P’s warning to Britain marks the next stage of this global crisis

        “And it is this final point which is perhaps the silver lining for the UK. The S&P announcement this week represented something of an ultimatum. The statement warned that unless the party that wins the election shows clear and convincing signs of putting the fiscal books back in order, a downgrade will surely follow. Neither Gordon Brown nor David Cameron will like it, but this could be the final stick that beats back their first Budget into order. It means they will be forced either to slash spending or raise taxes in as soon as a year. No one will much enjoy this but if it helps preserve Britain’s ratings, and thus ensures the UK can keep financing itself, it will be a pain worth suffering.

        For in the final stage of this crisis, those countries that recover and start to flourish will be those that face up soonest to the new period of fiscal austerity that must last for the next decade”.

        Parliament cannot write rules or legislation which are beyond its legal powers. There is plenty of precedent for that including Erskine May.

Staying in the EU costs us $40 million a day! Where is the vote WE were promised? Every country that was given the democratic right to vote has said NO! The EU’s accounts haven’t been audited for the last 14 years, I wonder why. So FUCK OFF and stop pedalling your shite here.

        In answer to FUCK OFF BACK TO BRUSSELS’s assertion that “the EU’s accounts haven’t been audited for the last 14 years” I think they have been audited, it’s just that the chief accountant — or whoever it is — refuses to “sign off” on them.

      • 181
        WobblyJim says:

        #160 to split the hair again, the fact that the chief auditor has consistently declined to sign off the audits is a clear and unambiguous sign that they are NOT ACCEPTABLE and would not stand up to scrutiny – they are bogus,therefore, no signature, no audit.
        Auditors know that they would be personally liable if anything they signed was subsequently challenged and shown to be dishonest.

        #180 I completely agree with you that the account being “NOT ACCEPTABLE”, I just wished to clarify FOBTB’s assertion that they hadn’t been audited. In terms of Anonymous’s comment,

        “you cnuts are part of the problem”

        if this refers to me and “WobblyJim” this is utterly ridiculous! Maybe you think I’m a Europhile. I’m not and I very much doubt “WobblyJim” is either.

        If one good thing comes out of this sorry mess it is that more scrutiny will be paid to the MEPs and *their* expenses.

      He’s just spinning it. Thought he’d turn up to a room full of blue-rinsed old tories and probably got a shock. The fool. He set himself up for this – no other MP has done this as they never, ever like meeting the great unwashed, nor do they like being questioned. And now, after this, no other MP will hold an open meeting.

      Time for Dave to cut him loose, get the local party to deselect him or they will lose the seat here.

      David Clelland, Labour MP for Tyne Bridge, in his constituency report at http://www.david-clelland.org.uk/

      “Party leaders should

      Christopher Kelly’s committee
      reach their conclusions – although I
      noted Committee members
      themselves are allowed a £240

      London allowance and up to £40

        Sack the Bastard says:

        Clelland is old Labour, a real troughing pro. He should be deselected immediately. He only wants people to shut up because he has gone to considerable lengths to stop the freedom of information on MP’s expenses coming out. He is a real condescending twat who doesn’t give a toss about the average man in the street. Check his expenses. He’s swindled £20K profit out of the tax payer on his London flat. Check his voting record. He’s strongly opposed freedom of information. He has been troughing for more than 22 years, he should go now!

        LOL just read Clelland excuses on expenses. it is fucking amazing how one MP’s property is devalued for friends and relatives. In Clellands case the property increased substantially in value, when the TAX payer is paying the difference. I my opinion Clelland and all the other MP’s who strongly voted against freedom of information and transparency, should go now.

      • 170
        JesmondJim says:

        Clelland is despicable. He represents one of the most deprived areas in the country and he’s used a rock-solid Labour seat to get his trotters on as much taxpayers’ cash as possible whilst many of his constuents are on the breadline.

      At 2.54 (ish) Mackay admits that the majority of people who spoke at the meeting were critics. Therefore, if the majority of people at that meeting were critical of him, how can he say that 3/4 of the people there were clapping in support him? That is sloppy journalism and he really should have been shown up when he admitted that.

      Just goes to show that Mackay realises the majority of people there were not supporting him, but were critical of him. Stupid self deluded bastard!

      Duncan’s Panama Hat
      On twitter as @julianbray: JOIN us…

      I originally posted this on Friday, April 08, 2005 in view of the current moatgate activities IDS or even betsy might like to issue and paper the walls with a few writs

      “Before IDS became leader of the Tory party, I often used to meet him and Betsy at Sports days and parents evenings. This was at a boarding prep school where our sons were incarcerated. IDS would parade up and down, always with a panama hat on his head. A prop. discarded when he rose to high office.

      Betsy would be the chatty one, and I enjoyed our conversations. IDS would prefer to parade around, doing the room, like a preverbial butterfly but he was light on meaningful conversation.

      Betsy had a spot of bother, trying to justify the secretarial salary however it was painfully obvious that if Betsy had not held the fort together, IDS would have remained on the back benches. The current incumbent with something of the night about him, won’t fare any better, every time I see him all I see is Rory Bremner – or has the current leader decided that Bremner is the ideal telegenic role model after all?

    What’s great is the fact that the public are now challenging them face to face, on camera and basically calling them liars. We see it here, we saw it on Question Time the other night.
    We need to see it all the time. Every time one of these tossers opens his or her mouth they should be shouted down and called names.
    It might focus their attention a little more.
    The main one this needs to be done to of course is Gordon Brown, every time he shows his face or opens his mouth he should be shouted at.
    Mind you the tower of courage he is, he’ll never show his face in public.

      Because they’re running scared of the “court of public opinion” and know that their time is up. In their eyes, there is little point in them coming out and tackling the situation head on because they know the public has stopped listening to them. Just look at McTwat who is petrified of any kind of vote (whether on the EU Constitution, a General Election or the Glasgow by-election) because he knows it’ll be a referendum on his tenure as the worst PM in living memory.

All he could do was cling to his ‘straw poll’ and he will be clinging to that come election day.

        English Liberation Front says:

        “On the special edition Question Time, why didn’t David Dimbleby let the audience vote on whether or not they wanted a general election?”

        Because there would have been an overwhelming show of hands for an election and it would have hit the headlines and embarassed the BBC. Dimblewit’s quick changing of the subject by letting another member of the audience speak was blatently obvious.

        The current Labour/BBC spin is denial and point the finger at the Tories. These lying, venal soviet-fascists will avoid an election like the plague, hence Mandelson’s ridiculous and contemptible remark that there is no public appetite for an election. There is no Labour/BBC (champagne in 1997 when their party won) appetite for an election – the public are desperate for one because they want change – any change.

        They are still lying & spinning and the BBC are still reporting their lies and spin, quick to rush off on a false trail whenever Brown and his gang of Nazi thugs throw out a diversion.

        Until the Labour Scots soviet-fascist and BBC hegemony is broken for all time lies and spin will dominate the political landscape and prevent open, honest debate and direction in the fortunes of England.

        This site, by concentrating on a few sad Tory wibble-wobble has-beens instead of the real corruption at the heart of Westminster (Hoon, Purnell, Smith, etc.), is doing Brown’s work for him. Smokescreen, decoy, diversion, point the finger “Please sir, they did it first” and expect the long suffering public to swallow this crap. Brown is a nasty piece of work, make no mistake, and will go to any lengths to stay in power – the MacBride case is evidence of that.

        The BBC want to hang on to the £17m they handed out in bonuses last year. Bonuses for what? They hardly make any of their own programmes anymore, they are mostly commissioned to independent production companies. They pay Ross £6m a year and then moan that they need more money. What’s with the twin newsreaders on everything? Why do they need a pair when one used to do?

      Perhaps they’re basically a bunch of crooks who finance themselves from the public one way or another. They don’t see anything wrong in itt, and feel they should be able to grab even more, with less scrutiny from the public, whose role is to pay up and do as they are told by their socialist betters.

      Dear UKIP,

      Please explain why Bob Spink, your sole MP, supported the speaker in the HOC this week?

      • 254

        Well he’s not our MP but the point he made was that they were simply using Martin as a scapegoat to draw the poison way from themselves which seems a pretty fair point to me.

        And of course this is a ‘beneficial crisis’ to New Labour and you end up getting what they wished for:

        Spink is an Independent MP but the point he raised is one which was very pertinent.
        Martin was simply being used as a scapegoat by the MPs to try and draw the poison away from themselves and they ganged up on him like bullies.
        The outcome of all of this has proved to be a beneficial crisis which Labour is using to further erode what’s left of parliamentary Independence:

    The hostile reactions to bent MPs are all fair comment, but we do have to give some thought to what’s going on politically.

    There seems to be a concerted campaign to undermine Parliament. Where does this emanate from? Could it be that the ex-Tory-graph with it’s long running associatiion with MI5 is part of some plot?

    Note that the strange “Mr Wick” (a psuedonym?) is allegedly ex-SAS (favourite operatives of Thames House – retired SAS – that’s if he is one – lots of the self-announced ones are fakes).

    Note that the Barclays, operating from Sark, may have their own agenda as well.

    Note that MPs on the Tory side coming under attack are nearly all on the liberal side of the Tory party and many of them are either Europhiles or anti-tax-haven or both.

Most of them still do not get the level of fury in the country at how these people have been milking the system/us for years.

        What is so sad is that this is nothing new – corruption in the House of Commons has been endemic for centuries. A couple of days ago, I found out, to my surprise, that even that beacon of moral probity in the Commons Sir Thomas More was not above “arranging” for his son-in-law William Daunce to become MP for Thetford in 1529, when Daunce had no connection whatsoever with the town and was in fact a London mercer.

      Cameron needs to act and act fast otherwise he’s in danger of going into the election 14 points ahead and losing.

      This I am afraid is now too important to allow constituency associations to decide,There needs to be a few “heads rolling” albeit metaphorically into the dust.

      If these people cost the Conservative the next election and Labour a win however slim then they should no longer be allowed anywhere near the Conservatibve Party in any capacity ever again.

      It can’t be beyond the wit of each constituency Chairman to arrange a shortlist of the sitting MP plus half a dozen grass-roots Tories.

        Plato says:

        I think the answer is Nope.

        From Wiki:

        “Fraudulent expenses claim

        In 2003 Trend was found guilty of abusing the allowances system and ordered to repay £90,277. He was briefly suspended from parliament and, following his deselection by the Windsor Conservative Association did not stand again at the following election. Trend claimed he “believed that I could properly continue to designate London as ‘home’ for the purposes of ACA, even though, in domestic terms, Windsor had become my “main residence”.” It was not accepted. There was no doubt in the Standard’s Committee’s minds that there was no “real scope for doubt that the words “main residence” were intended to have other than their natural meaning.”

        The Committee ruled that “Mr Trend should have recognised that, by claiming Additional Costs Allowance in relation to his Windsor home, the taxpayer was meeting some of the core running costs of what was in reality his main residence. He should have realised that this was wrong. Accordingly, we agree with the Commissioner that Mr Trend was negligent and has breached the Code of Conduct by making improper use of the Additional Costs Allowance and by failing strictly to observe the administrative rules relating to the Allowance.”

    The MPs have been through the “ignore” stage; not saying anything about expenses in the hope the problem will go away.

    They are in the denial stage; I have done nothing wrong, everybody is doing it, it’s in the rules, I have taken far less than I am allowed, etc.

    The public have jumped straight to the anger part, and are getting angrier.

    With MPs dissembling (nice old political word that) about expenses as hard as they can, they are displaying, in IMAX definition, the disconnect between public and politician. None have held up their hands, said “it’s a fair cop guv” and gone willingly.

    The within the rules is defence is dead, killed by those few MPs who chose not to drink from the expenses cup. All those who did, not only need to admit it but also walk willingly. Until that happens, the publics anger with, distrust of and disgust with politicians will continue.

    Mr Cameron’s show of facing up to the problem in a limited way, and Mr Brown’s complete avoidance of the problem by disappearing from view are not the solution.

        It would be a conflict of interest if he were a minister but, as merely an opposition spokesman, I’m not convinced it is. If the Tories were to get in at the next election and he became a minister, he would immediately have to resign his other interests to avoid a conflict of interest.

        The key difficulty is that in order to get spokesmen or ministers who have any understanding of the sector of policy they deal with, you have to use people with experience of that sector. Otherwise, you get – say- ex teachers responsible for police and security or ex-social workers who can’t even add up responsible for bidding for the multi billion pound Olympics. Quite a dilemma really..

      From Wiki:

      “Fraudulent expenses claim

      In 2003 Trend was found guilty of abusing the allowances system and ordered to repay £90,277. He was briefly suspended from parliament and, following his deselection by the Windsor Conservative Association did not stand again at the following election. Trend claimed he “believed that I could properly continue to designate London as ‘home’ for the purposes of ACA, even though, in domestic terms, Windsor had become my “main residence”.” It was not accepted. There was no doubt in the Standard’s Committee’s minds that there was no “real scope for doubt that the words “main residence” were intended to have other than their natural meaning.”

      The Committee ruled that “Mr Trend should have recognised that, by claiming Additional Costs Allowance in relation to his Windsor home, the taxpayer was meeting some of the core running costs of what was in reality his main residence. He should have realised that this was wrong. Accordingly, we agree with the Commissioner that Mr Trend was negligent and has breached the Code of Conduct by making improper use of the Additional Costs Allowance and by failing strictly to observe the administrative rules relating to the Allowance.”

    Question: What’s the connection between bankers, politicians, social workers, dole claimers etc?

    Answer: No more boom & bust. There’s no more risk. Spreads narrow as risk goes away. Bankers need to borrow more and leverage up to make the same profits. Politicians don’t care about where the money comes from. The tax revenues are endless. Social workers don’t care. Government jobs are plentiful. The progressive left wing agenda has no limits. Dole claimants take their bit from the economy. Tax payers don’t mind giving up more money. Because, there’s no more boom & bust.

        If there is anyone who is well out of order they are referred to their association and then depending on the association decision it’s either the sack and they stand down or if they won’t do that, he removes the whip so they can’t stand as the Conservative candidate, so far they’ve all stood down.

    You simply don’t have the stomach for it.

    In my day I would have fixed the camera with a steely gimlet eye and thundered at it with Olympian authority that “Every single one of those at the meeting had not just backed me but told me in no uncertain terms that I was a God amongst men who should feel free to deflower their daughter and help myself to any of their meager worldly goods should I take a fancy to them!!!”

    Then, if that impudent pup had started to protest things in the meeting had been other as I might have suggested, then, quick as a flash I would shout down this upstart and point a mighty accusatory finger while decrying him thusly “You Sir are a fifth columnist Communist subversive and what is more I have photographic proof that you are a Parsnip Fisher a trouser partridge AND a trombone paraglider!!! I arrest you in the name of King George.”

    At this point uproar would of course ensue in whcih I would make myself scarce and flee the carnage in my waiting running Bentley.

    This rank amateur Mackay did not even have a waiting set of wheels in which to flee. Pah!

    Though I hear these days a fillie in extremis is just as likely to draw the Cameraoperator closer and speak in hushed conspiratorial tones of deadly threats from distinctly rum chaps from foreign climes trying to take over these fair isles by means of byzantine skullduggery.

    I’m with Ms Dorries on this one. Frank Field would be a exceptional Speaker and, with the expectation of an imminent Conservative Government, this would be the correct choice.
    Or do we simply want another NuLabour coronation as in Brown and Martin ?

    “A very senior member of the Labour party has told me that the party, almost en masse, will be voting for Bercow.

    It means they can do the honourable thing and vote for a Conservative and not be seen to be partisan, “because Bercow’s not really a Conservative anyway”.

    He said that the reason Michael Martin had failed was because he had become isolated, he had no friends. The reason Labour wont vote for Frank is because, he reckons, Frank is already isolationist and has no friends and therefore is already out of touch with the House.

    I asked him how that logic worked as John Bercow could be described as isolationist also. “Ah, yes, but that doesn’t matter because he’s a Tory”?

    Eh?”

      Boris says:

      Just confirms the point that Bercow is a Mandelson Plant

      But the new Parliment will vote in another Speaker..

      Probably Field I would think..

      So Bercow won’t have long in the Seat (with Bob’s ladder !)

        Isn’t the rule that if the current parliament vote in a new Speaker (not interim) then the next parliament is stuck with him/her ?

      • 362
        Boris says:

        The “rules” were broken by Labour electing a Labour Speaker when they were in power (and the second in a row)

        So the “rules” should be “restored” to have a labour Speaker with a Tory government

        Logical…

      • 475

        This is a time for new rules. Why should the Speaker have a cushy job for life whilst bullying staff and hiding corruption? Let the job rotate amongst a panel of competent chairmen, or change the Speaker annually or choose some other reasonable method which prevents a corrupt and greedy Speaker becoming such a malign influence.

        Johnny says says:

        Just as one Government cannot (in theory) bind a future one, one Parliament cannot bind a future one.

        If they wanted to elect a speaker with a pole dance competition they could. They have the authority to re-write the ‘rules’ as we have lent it to them. They ignore ‘conventions’ when it suits them and similarly invent conventions at the drop of a hat when it is convenient.(As the ‘must alternate speaker’ one was) Their aim is to do as little work as possible.

        Again and again politicians choose to get hung up on what isn’t important – the colour of the Speaker’s rosette. All that should matter is their competence. Which is why the blatant incompetence from Martin should have been stopped far sooner but it is either beyond the wit of our MPs to see further than their own party tribes or they are simply lazy.

      John Bercow MP – bought and sold properties in constituency and London. Flipped. Claimed maximum expenses. Refused to say on Thursday whether he had paid Capital Gains Tax on sales – which suggests he didn’t.

      Of course Labour will vote for him – he’s their sort of man.

        I’m not so pessimistic MI5 – constitutional crisis – yes I think it is and I wish the Queen would step in and force Gordon’s hand to call an early election.

        But David Cameron could remove the whip from anyone who has fallen foul in his party because MP’s posts are always well contested – there are plenty of new people out there willing to put themselves forward for selection. He can get rid of all the old guard and all the tainted rubbish – and he should- and go into the next election clean.

        Labour are nowhere near doing anything so honest – even Margaret Moran’s constituency has said they fully back her !!! The mind boggles.

        I agree with you, Nell. I’m fairly neutral in my politics (used to say that if you read the DT and listened to the BBC you could make your own mind up having heard both sides of most stories) and I see Cameron acting decisively and Brown saying and doing nothing. I reckon that’s how most of the electorate will see it.

        Babar was a very poorly baby Elephant says:

        Yes – take Bercow out as a Speaker option.
        Reports suggest Labour are planning to vote for “their man” Bercow for Speaker.
        The man is solidly NuLabour and if this deceipt on expenses is true then that would appear to underline the point.
        This appointment of this man as Speaker must not happen.

      you expect a labour government to use common sense and reason? and you expect brown to actually make a decision himself which makes sense instead of setting up tons of quangos at our expense with reviews/commitees 10 levels deep and then ignoring it?
      that’d be nice, but it’s not going to happen while labour are there.
      however, if cameron becomes PM that may well happen within a matter of days of his election.
      I’m really looking forward to having a PM who actually uses reason/logic and is decisive, rather than a mad idiot who can’t decide whether to have tea or coffee without a committee review.

      Brown: “I’ll set up a committee which will perform a review, then we’ll debate it all for days on end, then we’ll ignore it.”

      Cameron: (looking at the list) – “that’s wrong…that’s wrong…that’s wrong…that’s ok… you go, you stay…. job done. next please.”

        They were claiming on what was really their main residence but the Fees Office okayed it. They were at one point both claiming whatever they could get their hands on. Then it was splashed across the papers. When it was investigated by the Commons authorities they were given a clean bill of health (with the ludicrous assertion that a Sunday dinner a week oop north was proof enough their London home was their second home despite their children going to school in London) but began claiming a reduced amount.

        IIRC the rule that Ministers had to designate their London home as their main residence was abolished before Yvette Balls became a minister. Handy that. Hardly in the interests of taxpayers to allow Ministers to get their (usually) more expensive home covered by expenses.

      Agreed #386
      Their statements about needing to attract the best talent, comparing themselves with actual professionals who operate in a business/commercial environment is all total and utter bollocks. Their primary talents are deceit, lieing and self interest. Hardly any of them have gained any experience in the business / commercial world ie never had a proper job. Their entire world perception is from within a bubble of their own construction. 99% couldn’t run a jumble-sale stall.
      This country has a plethora of real talented people that could easily do the job of an MP and bring honesty, integrity and professionalism to the role.
      Real managers not political scientists or legal professionals.
      We need a parliament who will deliver what they promised to secure our vote.
      A team working together not in opposition, to secure what is best for THE PEOPLE.
      We need patriots at the wheel not globalist elites.
      We need a proper representative government.
      The People need to be able to formally kick out those elected, who fail or steal
      Benefits and compensation need to be under the same rules and laws that the rest of us have to suffer (if the law of the land is too onerus for the self styled elites – how do they fookin think we feel about them).
      It’s a weird world where the employer (tax payers) have zero control or influence over their employees (bureaucrats at many layers) and where the employee can award them selves fantastic benefits and then exempt themselves from the general laws of the land.
      There are so many aspects of everyday life that are broken, limited or priced out of the range of most people by these arseholes.
      We really don’t need any more generations of professional politicians we need the entire parliamentary establishment staffed with ordinary people with experience of business and commerce, workers, managers and professionals who are actually interested in the well being of this country and it’s people.

    Neither “Dave” nor Brown nor Clegg can “save” anyone. The country needs something it has never had: democracy. Few can see beyond reform of the systems currently in place, and you won’t find discussions of such a nature on television or in the newspapers because they too have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Such agendas inspire the likes of Parris to defend his mates, they also inspire the idiotic comments made by Stephen Fry. As both of those two luvvies well understand, any significant changes will rob them of the protectionism that ensures their monopolies continue. The secret and shadowy nature of the UK is legendary. ANY public office is shrouded and to ask for information is to incur the wrath of a petty-minded official astonished that you might have the temerity to ask where your money is going. MP’s fought like hell to block FOI because they knew exactly what was coming if it all got out. THe BBC will ferociously oppose all attempts at accountability too. The inability to perceive that open access is a good thing is at the heart of the inability to imagine what riches change might bring to this country.

    We’re gonna be rolling in it, and no, mark Oaten, it’s not going to be something you can make a cheap joke about.

    Now fuck off little people and eat some lard, or whatever the fuck.

    He may be a troffing prat but at least he had the balls to face some voters in his constituancy.

    Snot gobbler just sits in his bunker only coming out for deluded photo opportunities and his weekly statistics quoting aka PMQs.

    The funny thing is that if he’d just admitted he’d screwed up and agreed to pay the money back then he would have been fine.

    But saying he won’t pay the money back unless forced to do so, and then saying that everyone in the meeting was cheering him on when saying that, he shot himself in the foot.

    I could just imagine Cameron thinking something like this while he was watching:

    “You fucking idiot. All you had to do was just tell the truth, say sorry, and pay the money back and you would have been fine.”

    Cameron’s got a great approach in this; anyone who uses the labour line of lying and trying to hide behind “the rules” get immediately binned. Tell the truth, say sorry, and pay the money back, then let the voters decide.

    Compare that with labour where even their leader is still saying “it was within the rules” as a defence, and then hiding away.

    Anyway; how come most of what brown’s claimed is now deemed illegal/immoral yet he’s still saying he didn’t do any wrong because he was “within the rules”?

    By all means bin the tory MPs who bought duck islands etc, but what about Brown who spent our money on cleaning a flat that he never uses which is a stone’s throw away from his grace and favour house? And light bulbs for fuck’s sake?

      I’m sorry I took £95,000 over 4 years. You see I am shadow spokesman for Cornwall but my main home is in East Herts but I need a place in town as commuting 30 miles is too far for me on a daily basis.

      I can’t pay it back as mrs prick is senior in the FSA and Dave might close it down you see.

      What am I to do? no Tory seas in Cornwall for me to have. I only have this seat because mrs prick was at uni with william hague (nice wedding present huh!).

      Oh well let me got sucking up to the toffs so I can survive as a troughing MP. Not a word mind to my neighbour Haselhurst please ( I think he’s had it – although hope not).:)

    McCartney - is he an OXO or BISTO man? says:

    Did any of you see the TV clip showing Martin being “dragged” to the Speaker’s chair when he was first elected?
    As he is “dragged” along the labour front bench,there is Ian McCartney nearly having an orgasm (not a sight to behold) and he actually holds his arms up and shakes them in ecstasy!
    “Yes – now we have our man in the Chair,we can get loads more Oxo and Bisto for the gravy train – yippee”

Max Clifford says…

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
