      Hmm I doubt he’d (mr fawkes) write a post about it unless there’d been some new information out – I wonder if this is going to be the CPS revenge for the endless failed prosecutions owing to political inteference.

      Perhaps it’s all going to unravel like a bit of shitty string

        is there any way we can all club together and stop this ?

        it is so unfair.

        I will start a fund – Save Jacqui Smith She ain’t done no wrong !

        I am willing to collect donations from all readers here on Order hyphen etc.

        Jacqui Smith – she ain’t done no wrong!

          Let’s see now, defrauding the taxpayer, wanting to do away with habeus corpus and lock people up for three months without charge, wanting to be able to monitor the entire population’s internet usage, ID cards.

          Do I really need to go on? The woman is scum – she wants to turn this great country into a prison. I hope she gets sent to one very soon.

      Much as I’d like to believe it, I wait to be convinced.

      It just won’t happen, the Met has been politically castrated, and thus rendered impotent. Their only likely arrest, is there own cardiac arrest.

      What we need is an General Election now, and be forever done once and for all with ALL these costa-plenty crooks and taxation thieves.
      The public purse has been willfully and protectively pillaged and all within the Green book rules.

      Green, green, its green they say for us on Parliament Hill,
      Green, green, we’re going away to the Lords where it’s greener still!

      Those honourable Members of all colours and allegiances have been quietly mugging us all for years. Time for them to stand (if they dare) and answer to the electorate.

      Just for once Gordon please, be a man and call a General Election. You may not win, you may not actually want to win, but at least you might just gain a little respect for finally doing the right thing, just once in your tenure as unelected Prime Minister of the UK.

        Flippineck

        The trouble is, Labour can”t afford to campaign for an Election!!!!! Having the
        rating of U.K. Creditworthyness reduced, refusing to publicise the Stress Test
        on Loyds RBS and HBOS suggests they are worse than expected, so who in
        their right mind would want the Labour Party in power.!!!!!

          Valerie,you forget that they can still help themselves to our Lottery money.They’ve been doing it since Bliar and his “magnificent Dome”.My own view is that this also is theft,as it’s dressed up as expenses to help fund
          valuable services to the Community.Crap,jobs for the NuLabour boys and girls.They now take 50% of the Lottery,for “social good deeds”,oh and the Fabulous NuLabour Olympics.Who are the Auditors of this Lottery scam?

          Oddly enough there are still a lot of people out there who don’t watch the news or read newspapers, other than Jordan & Pete’s latest ramblings, and have ‘Vote Labour’ stamped on their birth certificates. It is from this section of the socialist intelligencia that the remains of the Labour Party are relying on.

          I hope they are holding their breath…

          Through careful vetting or as a non-Exchequer slush fund?

          good luck OH

          somehow I feel those ‘working ‘together’ for a safer London’ will fail to take over the arrest and you could find yourself getting a free room for the night.

          Hopefully not, they will of course be monitoring this thread, as well as your site and will have worked out a way of protecting their masters. They are no longer the peoples police service, protecting the majority from wrong doing and implementing the law without fear or favour. They have mutated into the para-military wing of the executive, there to stifle any descent.

          I wish you the best of British, it’s a very British thing you’re attempting to do. But that won’t cut much ice with the MPs, who are above such things, or the police who are ‘only following orders’.

        Albert Pierrepoint III says:

        Richard,

        Can I further enlighten you and your partner about Erotic Asphyxiation?

        Erotic asphyxiation refers to intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal. Various methods are used to achieve the level of oxygen depletion needed, such as a hanging, suffocation with a plastic bag over the head, self-strangulation such as with a ligature, gas or volatile solvents, chest compression, or some combination of these

        If you are interested I feel I may be able to offer advice, guidance and even practical help to you both. We could kill two birds with one stone if you like?

      Any criminal investigation regarding the HS *should* flag a conflict of interests, causing the HS to stand down until the investigation is completed. Chances? Cockall would be my bet. The Met needs to be cleaned out at the same time.

      Expenses: Annual Figure hits £94 MILLION

      On Twitter as @julianbray: Join the conversation…

      Well this is one detailed slab of astonishing information The Daily Telegraph does not have, or has not yet published!

      According to a highly detailed database which has been recovered (and I have placed in a secure offshore location). This database lists and breaks down the detailed expenses by over 450 Parliamentarians. I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the figures as it comes from a highly reliable and well placed source.

      UK Members of Parliament [MP's] NOT INCLUDING SALARIES just expenses, each year collectively cost the UK taxpayer an astonishing £93 MILLION.

      The exact figure I have is £92,993,748:00

      I’ll give you some examples from the top of the database, the keyed descriptions relate to the data category under each name.

      his is a letter copied from the comments page of the online Express
      when are the police going to arrest these mp’s on suspicion of fraud. i called the police for them to arrest these people but the reply i got was they cannot investigate unless the home secretary invites them to investigate when i told them the home secretary is one of the people who should be invesigated i was told to get off the phone as i was wasting their time. is this what the police have come to. no balls and faceless. i cannot believe they are not going in with all guns blazing and areesting these people, this will make the publics outrage more less angry and more happy that they are seeing these mp’s are not above the law. because all i can see they are above the law.

      THEY ARE ABOUVE THE LAW

        Forget the Police. They only do what the politicians tell them. Complain to HMRC about possible tax fraud, and then watch the sparks fly.

        HM Customs really do have a wide range of powers, and are not averse to kicking down the odd door on their own.

      So was Brown’s cleaners bill for his and his girlfriend’s pad whilst having a grace and favour residence. If thats within the rules my question is “what is not”?

      • 351
        Anonymous says:

        I am at a loss as to why Gordon Brown’s expense claims have not come under more scrutiny. This guy while he was Chancellor chose to live in his own flat in London instead of Downing Street – probably costing us unnecessary additional security costs – with all the running costs charged to us.

        Shortly before he becomes PM he has a new kitchen fitted in the flat at a cost of around £9000, but as £9k would take him over the ACA limit for the year he splits the cost in two and charges it over 2 years. No sooner has he done that he then transfer the property into his wife’s name. His wife now has a lovely renovated flat at our expense. Why transfer the property to your wife if it is not for tax planning/house flipping?

        He then flips his second home to North Queensferry where he charges us for all the running costs there, such as gardeners, cleaners, Sky Sports. All this while living in 10 Downing Street and Chequers for NOTHING and earning £194000 a year.

        Yet somehow this is a non story.

          Middle Englander says:

          During the time GB was Chancellor and Bliar was PM, wasn’t there a story going round that as Bliar had the larger family, he was using the Flat at No 11 and GB was using the Flat at No 10? So why the money for the ‘other’ second home redecoration?

        • 389
          Budgie says:

          All this derives from the rotten socialism of the 1970s. The extreme left had a theory that everyone should have the same wage – whatever job they had.

          Everyone, that is, except politicians, who ‘because they have the most responsibility running the country’ had to have more pay. And, of course right wing politicians (as defined by the socialists in power) would be banned (‘no platform for right wingers’).

          No wonder the left hate ‘Thatcher’ – she put a stop to their socialist wet dream. Until Bliar and McBust came along, of course.

      no anonymous, none of these false claims, including david cameron’s and gordon brown’s claims, are within the rules.
      the politicians are offering a false defense for their false expense and allowance claims.
      dave cameron is corrupt and gordon brown is corrupt and nick clegg is corrupt.
      they are corrupt because they sought to maximise the amount of expenses they claimed from the taxpayer and they have done this by breaking the rules.
      they have not proved their expenses to be entirely necessary and they have also failed to prove that they are they reasonable and not extravagant.
      they have also failed to act in the public interest by seeking to stop this information coming to light by misusing parliamentary procedure to hide their crimes and conspiracy.
      the Green Book’s basic rules have been broken my many new labour cabinet members.
      there are insufficient quality candidates on the labour backbenches to replace the many corrupt individuals in the cabinet which poses gordon brown with an insolvable problem: he is now incapable of forming a government.
      brown has run out of road and the labour party better stop fucking about and depose the c’unt.
      if labour goes to the country with brown leading them it will be a fucking massacre.
      oh and depose that other useless fat c’unt ed balls.

    Today, EMAG have been given authority to challenge through High Courts. The Govt has until 24th June to put up their defence in face of ongoing Ombudsman criticism. This Govt and Brown is morally bereft of dignity, honour and responsibility. Right now 200 or so MPs have signed Vince Cable’s early day motion.

    That this House notes the Parliamentary Ombudsman has taken the unusual step of using powers under the 1967 Act to present Parliament with a further and final report on Equitable Life; also notes that the Public Administration Select Committee’s second report on Equitable Life, Justice denied? concluded that the Government response to the Parliamentary Ombudsman’s report was inadequate as a remedy for injustice; recognises the vital role the Ombudsman plays in public life; reaffirms the duty of Parliament to support the office of the Ombudsman; believes the Government should accept the recommendations of the Ombudsman on compensating policyholders who have suffered loss; welcomes the formation of the All-Party Group on Justice for Equitable Life Policyholders; and notes with regret its necessary formation and the fact that over 30,000 people have already died waiting for a just resolution to this saga.

          Please do let me know. And while you’re at it perhaps you could also mull over the following viz.

          Jacqui Smith tells Parliament her main residence is a spare room in her sister’s Clapham flat. Jacqui Smith tells her local council that her main residence is Redditch. Jacqui Smith is supposedly our Home secretary yet she is either a liar or just a scatterbrained idiot who cannot fill out forms. Either way she should not be in a position of power.

          I could work my way through the cabinet starting with Jack Straw, Ed Balls, A Darling, H Blears, Y Cooper, Nick Brown, McNulty etc etc ….the list is endless…they’ve all been at it.

          thick as thieves says:

          mrs kindlysnide,
          you are pushing an open door love.
          but you seem to be conditionally accepting my premise, so I have already made some progress.

          the question you must ask yourself is this: did David Cameron need to claim the interest payments for his very, very large and very, very expensive house?

          could he have offered better value to the taxpayer? £1700 per month just for the interest on a mortgage is an extravagant amount considering that most peoples repayment mortgages are almost half the amount dave is claiming just for interest payments.

          did this multi-millionaire, who does ofcourse not need a mortgage because he is a multi-millionaire, entirely need to make such a claim to carry out his duties as an MP?

          if David did not receive that payment would he be unable to be an MP?

          did David set up his mortgage arrangements in order to maximise his allowance claims?

          did dave make those unnecessary and extravagant claims because he is a self serving c’unt? and has entered public life to make as much money from it as he can, perhaps as much as tony blair?

          whatever you say torydalek, it is all very grubby and could, at the very least, give the impression that David Cameron is a vulgar, money grubbing c’unt.
          and this man lectures others on probity.
          you are having a fucking larf!
          dave is bent and I have presented you with the evidence of his corrupt nature.
          you do not wish to accept the facts because you are a tory dalek.
          oh well.
          but the people know a thief when they see one, and dave is definitely a thief.
          note to cameron: stop making false claims upon the public purse.
          you thieving c’unt.

He doesn’t have vast sums of food bills, ponds, moats being dredged or LYING to the people of this country and /or the Inland Revenue like many of the people he sits opposite in Parliament everyday who are, by definition, expected to set the tone of how the populace should behave.

          Also if you’re seriously suggesting that Labour’s greed (and as has been pointed out 16 of the top 20 claimants are Labour MPs!) is going to suddenly ensure that the BN_P become the majority voice in local council chambers and in he EU then you’re seriously off your rocker!!! The British people have mroe brains than you give them credit for…

          The Civil Service have been preparing for an incoming Conservative government for at least 12 months that I know of and they will ensure that the transition from Labour to Conservative is handled efficently.

          The only ‘chaos’ that a general election will bring is from all those troughing MPs (No matter what their political allegiance!) who strugle to get the last batch of expenses in, to lobby for gongs or to sort out cushy little jobs for themselves before polling day!!!

            Good stuff from Littlejohn:

            “I’ve yet to see Gordon Brown give a convincing explanation of why he found it necessary to claim for two different second homes, while living in the same grace-and-favour flat at public expense for the past 12 years.

            Why, for instance, did he spread the cost of a new kitchen over two separate accounting periods, if not to screw every last penny out of the taxpayer?
            Why has he put the flat he bought from the Robert Maxwell fire sale in his wife’s name and switched his second home designation to Scotland, if not as part of a ploy to avoid paying Capital Gains Tax?

            How dare Brown stand up and condemn others when his own sticky fingers are elbow-deep in the till? “

Being a computer it explains the total lack of intelligent comment and rational thought – it is only following its programming which, being digital, is incapable of understanding subtleties.

    Can Fraud be heard in Magistrates court? (at comment 37)

    Would depend on exactly offence what is charged.
    If the Magistrates COULD hear the case but decided that their sentencing powers would be insufficent if the case were proved, they would commit the case to the Crown Court for trial.

    In any event EVERY criminal case STARTS in a Magistrates’ Court up to and including murder. Even though that Court does not do a lot in what are called “indictable-only” cases which are sent directly to the Crown Court but the Magistrates do have to consider whether to grant bail.

    If this is a hearing on an application for a Private Prosecution, then that application will be in a Magistrates’ Court.

      magistrates have the power to be “examining Magistrates” That means that they can examine the evidence and make a judgement if there is a case for a jury to decide.

      So if there is a chance of a conviction from the evidence presented to them they can refer any case whether a Police / CPS case or private prosecution to the Crown Court for trial. However, the CPS also have the power to take any private prosecution over and “discontinue” it on the grounds of Public Interest. Thus the political nature of the whole Criminal Legal System.

      In the old days when we had an Independent and dependable police service…ALL charges went to court the next day after arrest. More often than not a guilty plea was heard that day and the case dealt with. Serious matters ie Indictable only offences eg Robbery / Murder would get a Police Solicitor overseeing the case. No case went unexamined and ALL cases were heard in a public forum OPENLY… not like now where unaccountable decisions are made on paperwork.

      As an example look at ANY of the documentaries about the police. You see the arrest and then the narrator will give some crap result more often than not the person has been let off with a caution or some other crap resiult…. we need a return to the days when Policemen took their cases to court the next day and INSTANT justice is seen to be done.

    May 1981
    The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. William Whitelaw) The object of policy in relation to marches is to strike the right balance between the freedom to demonstrate peacefully under the law and the need to minimise the risk of public disorder. The damage that certain marches may do to community relations is being considered as part of my review of public order legislation.

    Mr. Winnick Is the Home Secretary aware that a clear distinction needs to be made between marches and demonstrations aimed at inciting and provoking race hatred and other types of acceptable demonstrations, marches and carnivals, political or non-political? Is he aware that it is an affront to the traditional liberties of the British people that a blanket ban on marches and demonstrations should have been imposed in the last few months?

      In case anyone would like to read Whitelaw’s remarks in context, the relevant Hansard entry is here.

      It’s not as bleak as MB paints it (no surprise there!) – Whitelaw had imposed a blanket ban on marches following NF-ANL clashes in Lewisham, and specifically exempted both TUC and unemployment protest marches from the ban, as you will see if you read more than MBs selective quote.

      MB was probably still a mote in his father’s eye at the time, but I remember 1981 well, and old Willie was doing his best to stop the NF and the ANL causing their customary havoc.

      ‘Charles’ is a computer or more acurately a piece of software. Here’s my reasoning which I posted earlier.

      I think Augeas may be right – Charles is actually just a piece of software dreamed up by some labour geek – all it is programmed to do is string random socialist cliches together with perhaps a cursory check of the grammar and then spits them out in response to certain keywords on various blogs. Being a computer it explains the total lack of intelligent comment and rational thought – it is only following its programming which, being digital, is incapable of understanding subtleties. The frequent spelling mistakes are a bit puzzling but I suppose if the geek was educated in a comprehensive it’s what you would expect.

      There must be some way we can ‘test’ it to prove this hypothesis ? Or make it crash. Any ideas ?

    Gordon Brown’s next reshuffle will herald a return to fortune for the cleverest PM since Gladstone (GB’s IQ=150).

    The Prime Minister spent many years in the treasury in the same way Steve Jobs did with Next Computer, and bringing in his new team will reflect the reverse takeover by Jobs when he returned to Apple.

    As Steve Jobs faced a declining market for the Apple Macintosh and Apple’s own next generation Operating System, Rhapsody, was stuck in development hell, so the Prime Minister’s vision and bringing in the best of the best are set to create the OS X of government policy. How can the Tories Windows and Liberal’s Linux compete? Answer: they can’t. You have cool, or you don’t.

    Obscured by the cordite and noise of battle, Prime Minister Brown’s take-off had all the appearance of a lumbering Wellington bomber but as it looms closer is emerging as a svelte Spitfire. The recent well received policies are like wheels lifting from the ground. Appointments, the trimming of flaps. Media welcome, the pull of joystick and roar of Merlin engine.

    All hail Blessed Leader!

      CH would miss the point and no doubt give us some sort of lecture about equality, diversity and racism because of the man’s name. Most of us would ignore the posturing and recognise with sadness and gratitude Snowball’s sacrifice.

        I think the one thing that characterizes all the Labour trolls is that they have no experience of life and are spouting pure theory.

        They are not old enough to have defined for themselves their areas of ignorance and believe that they know everything.

        Life will teach them otherwise. There are many things in life which have to be experienced before they can be understood, some of them are the finer things like love and joy, on the other hand there are the truly appalling realities of death and violence.

        What is frightening about many of the younger posters is that they have absolutely no idea of the reality of life and how it is influenced by political decisions, usually for the worse.

        Reality will come as a shock to them.

    So Jacqui’s about to get hauled up in Court to prove that her sister’s boxroom really is her main home whilst her Redditch home housing RichardT and her children is only an occasional bolt hole which nonetheless requires thousands of pounds of taxpayers money to maintain.

    Her sister’s neighbours are preparing to appear in court to testify that she rarely spends more than 3 nights of only some weeks at her sister’s house, which suggests that she must be living somewhere else more permanently. Where is this secret bolt hole if not Redditch?

    No doubt the police know the truth of this since they are charged with her protection. How many nights did they patrol outside her sister’s home and how many outside her Redditch home ?- the Court should call them also to give evidence.

    Question is, of course, can this fraudulent behaviour be proved as such in law?

    If Mr Weaver does get a conviction it seems likely that he will open the floodgates and other outraged citizens will follow his lead and take their thieving MP’s to court.

          Quote

          Gordon Brown’s letter to the Speaker

          Dear Michael I welcome your announcement yesterday that the Members Estimates
          Committee will now look into the whole area of Members’ office staff, expenses and
          other allowances. I believe it is essential that we use this opportunity to achieve a
          root-and-branch overhaul of the current system and deliver new mechanisms and procedures which can meet the public’s expectation for greater transparency and for propriety. The public need to be reassured that all taxpayers’ money used to support Members in their work both in Parliament and in their constituencies has been properly spent and accounted for – not just in the future but in the past, and not just for Ministers and Shadow Ministers but for all Members. As a result, I have made clear to all Labour MPs that they must be fully transparent in their declarations and must abide, not by April but as soon as possible, with the Committee on Standards and Privileges’ opinion that the employment of family members should be declared. Labour MPs want to cooperate fully with your review, with its findings, and with any further requirements it may make upon them and we will insist that this happens. To deliver the kind of root-and-branch overhaul of the current system we need, I believe your review will need to be a deliberative and orderly process which delivers genuine and lasting reform. I like all Members would not favour a quick fix which would fail to solve the problem in the long term. In particular, I do not believe it will be sufficient simply to require Members to provide more information in the future than they do at present concerning their staff, expenses and allowances. We must also put in place the most robust systems that can advise on, monitor, identify and investigate any abuse of the rules. Secondly, we need to be clear that where there have been serious allegations and reported abuses of the current rules, these will be thoroughly investigated, whatever future system for transparency is agreed. I look forward to working with you on this important work. Yours sincerely GORDON BROWN

          Nell, you are correct. A relation works in the Cabinet Office and has told me the following about Brown:

          - He’s a control freak who has to make every decision personally (not just in PM’s office, but across the Government.
          - He has to analyse every issue in minute detail.
          - He will only make decisions at the last minute when put under immense pressure to do so.

          There is simply no one he has delegated the management of any of these issues to, either in the Cabinet or Civil Service. This is also why he has become surrounded with such a second rate bunch of Ministers – no one of any talent or self respect would tolerate this (let alone the temper tantrums).

          This is why:

          - He is personally responsible for the expenses scandal.
          - He is personally responsible for the recession.
          - He is personally responsible for the lack of a government strategy and legislative programme.

          He is a deeply flawed individual who is mentally and psychologically unfit to be a leader of any organisation, let alone PM.

    From MoneyWeek in March 09

    “Gordon Brown, however, has barely a year to go before he has to call a general election. And for Mr Brown to have even a slim chance of being returned to power, two things have to happen. The economy has to recover, obviously. But more importantly, voters have to believe that any recovery is down to actions taken by him.

    So he has to be seen to act. If pumping the economy full of counterfeit cash can create the illusion of health before the election (and make no mistake, an illusion is all it will be), he can worry about clearing up the mess afterwards – if he wins. And if it doesn’t work at all, or leads to rampant inflation, well, that’s just more scorched earth for the opposition to contend with when they get into power. Mr Brown has nothing to lose. Shame the rest of us can’t say the same”

    “Think about it for a moment. The man responsible for hiking taxes (Darling) is using public money to buy the best advice on how not to pay those very same taxes himself.

    He has also lied about where he lives to claim the maximum amount in expenses. Darling flipped his address not just once, but four times. One of the flats in question was passed like a tray of biscuits from Gordon Brown to Darling via a dodgy peer called Moonie, last seen being investigated as part of the cash-for-influence scandal.

    While the world and his wife has, quite legitimately, gone chasing two-bob crooks like Andrew MacKay and name-any-one-from-a-couple-of-dozen-others, I’ve tried to keep you focused on the main event.

    And that is the wholesale abuse of the expenses system by ministers at the very top, from the Prime Minister downwards. I’ve yet to see Gordon Brown give a convincing explanation of why he found it necessary to claim for two different second homes, while living in the same grace-and-favour flat at public expense for the past 12 years………….”

    1) They must be removed from office. 2) They must be made to pay back what they thieved. 3) They must be prosecuted – ( I think it would be quite appropriate to see them doing community service in their constituencies for their crimes).

    In respect of constituencies , ie KirkBride, if they think they are going to keep their troughing MP’s in office in order to keep bringing money into family accounts (ie Kirkbride/Mackay/Dent family) , then Dave needs to intervene.

    Where people like Jacqui Smith, Watson, Phil (CorbyENorthants) , Moran, Balls, Cooper, Blears, Darling, Hoon,etc– think they are going to hang on to office to “keep them, their siblings and families on the gravy train and never mind the voters” then someone in Labour needs to intervene. If they don’t – the next GE vote will go against them.

    It is obvious that Gordon will not act. He has been comatose for weeks now.

    I want to know who is in charge of government at the moment . Because he clearly is not!!

      That is a good question

      But even more worrying

      Who is “in charge” of British national finances ?

      The Treasury itself is coming out with figures showing an ever widending national deficit…we are talking hundreds oif billions of £ as you know…and no known way to fund it without Zimbabwe inflation..

      And no comment from anyone in Government…

      And the UK sovereign credit rating dropping…
      Are they just frozen by the scale of the disaster they have created ?

    I agree that was a satire – note the criticism comparing Gordon to a “lumbering Wellington bomber”. That type of thought crime is not to be tolerated.

    Plus, seems to know a lot more about IT than CH, and no mention of ‘graphics fidelity’.

    Where it is accurate is that Apple OS X has only about 9% market share – and I’m pretty sure this is something that Gordon will be able to bring about for Labour.

      The Election broadcast by the party that must not be named is well worth watching.

      Its appeal needs to be understood and analysed. Burying heads in sand is not the solution.

      It is in many ways a very powerful message, and it would be better if voters saw more of this party in order that they fully understood its nature.

      If this Broadcast was my only information about the party that must not be named I would find it very persuasive.

      They are a valid polical party whether we like it or not. They deserve, and in fact NEED to be given the same air time as any other political party. I would hope the vast majority of this country will find their broadcast utterly repulsive as I did but they still MUST be allowed to speak. Apart from the ‘who decides whats OK’ aspect – trying to ban them will just lead the sort of idiots who would vote for them to think they are being kept back by ‘the man’ and need more support.

      Let them speak and be reviled and vilified as they should and will be.

    Lee Enfield says:

    Magistrates Court – no jury then, just up to three magistrates. Should be easy to knobble them then.

    Magistrates cannot normally order sentences of imprisonment that exceed 6 months (or 12 months for consecutive sentences), or fines exceeding £5000. In cases triable either way (in either the magistrates’ court or the Crown Court) the offender may be committed by the magistrates to the Crown Court for sentencing if a more severe sentence is thought necessary.

    So the accordian necked porker might get off with a suspended sentence and a £50 fine, instead of a long custodial sentence if tried by jury.

    • 650
      Sir William Waad says:

      Magistrates (such as Lady Waad) are very hard to knobble because (a) they are not in it for the money (b) they have no ambitions to be promoted to some well-paid sinecure (c) they are good, public-spirited people.
