About time
Excellent.
Kirkbride gone next Wiggin de Frigging in der Rigging
The upside is that we will not see Esther Ratbag in Luton? She’ll surface somewhere else next….. how about taking on Vaz or Smith?
Ditto. Stepping down, of course, means that they will carry on leeching until the next election and then be given a handsome severance package including a gold-plated pension – all funded by the taxpayer – and retain their ill-gotten gains. Not good enough. where’s the firm action and leadership that Brown, Cameron and Clegg keep boasting about.
This is Cameroons lack of action, leave Julie troughing until the GE.
What a guy, what a leader!
Wake up !
Bi-elections NOW
Absolutely, no reward for theft, incompetence or failure, for any of them. They must pay back every penny and then stand trial.
What exactly is Cameron supposed to do? Withdraw the whip? That’s no threat if they’re standing down at the next election anyway. The only way to remove a sitting MP against their will is impeachment. And that’s not going to happen when almost the whole damn Commons is tainted.
If they don’t have the decency to resign, turfing them out at the ballot box is the only way.
Exactly they are still pissing in our faces.
I beats putting faeces on our pissers.
Too much to hope that Plod will be investigating further, if they get off their collective backsides CPS could have it all listed in time for the General Election. Perhaps if Kirkbride and Moran contra’d ( or better still the fees office ) what they have already taken against the termination payments… They would after all keep the proerties and the profits already made.
Totally agree, we are all being hoodwinked. They have been caught with their grubby fingers in the cookie jar and their penalty – keep on leeching until a time were you would be unelectable anyway. It is a JOKE.
We should be campaigning for the removal of these parasites now. Not only that they should repay any ill gotten gains and also be subject to police investigation. British Politics stinks.
they ALL above have said it. Let us not forget that IF HMRC judge them to have obtained “benefits in kind” then they simply will be taxed on those benefits at 40% and will STILL be better off by 60% of the amount spent unless fines are imposed. That is I pay £100 for something and it costs me somewhat more than that in pre-tax income. THEY spend £100 “free” and are found out then THEY simply pay £40 for the same item They will NOT be paying back the full defrauded amounts. I rather doubt that HMRC will fine them to the same extent that ordinary taxpayers would be fined. MAKE ME HAPPY HMRC (Norwich Union never could) . CPS? Forget it they are stupid beyond belief.
IF the CPS, contrary to normal behaviour ACTUALLY prosecute them for fraud (rather doubtful) then I would expect an establishment judge to let them off with a caution since anything else would be “humiliating” and so contrary to their “human rights”.
ALL, including Conway, intend to stay in post until the next election. What THAT means is that they continue to be paid £5k+ a month (including 4 months at least FREE if the next election actually goes to the line) AND get at least £30k tax free (PLUS generous redundancy for family and friends, also tax-free) when they step down. PLUS of course they retain their MASSIVELY generous pension entitlements.
Well THAT is nowhere near good enough. I want ALL the troughers to be forced to repay their fraudulent claims in full, not JUST forced to pay for “benefit in kind”;I want them FINED heavily by the Courts and HMRC; I want them sacked IMMEDIATELY with total loss of any benefits or pension right; . I want them to receive prison sentences which will debar them from Parliament for 5 years I think. I WANT them totally humiliated.
AM I being TOO harsh? Though not. the ONLY alternative is the rope I reckon. Anyone want to buy tickets?
They STILL don’t get it: that whatever ways might be found to sort this expnses row out, they are NOT the people to be involved in applying it. They have forfeited trust – full stop. Thank you, but goodbye. Whoever you are, you’re no longer wanted; you either did it or stood by whilst others did.
I will vote for the first party to promise a full independent enquiry into the expenses fiasco CASE BY CASE, conducted by a non-Metropolitan police force. It should be conducted on the basis that where incongruity and factually false statements have been uncovered that fraudulent intent should be presumed and where such is found proseuction would be automatic. No MP should be allowed to pay anything back at all in order to get out of their trouble; they shoudl actually be prevented from doing that before due process has been served.
The principle is that of ‘public interest prosecution’ which used to apply in the good old DPP days; that where a public figure was suspected of inolvement in wrongdoing, prosecution should follow, lest it be thought that the establishment was protecting one of its own.
The problem is that they’d claim the current climate would render a fair trial impossible. Try to find 12 non party members for a jury who weren’t that bothered by what had been going on?
Until a party commits to this kind of action, a reasonable presumption is that they are attempting to minimise the damage to their own political world and are STILL, THEREFORE, PART OF THE PROBLEM.
I’d stand on this manifesto myself, BUT I’M TOO ANGRY.
Eh?
What bloody happened there then Dave you bloody housing benefit cheat?
Stop stealing from the taxpayer Mr Cameron.
You are as bad as Kirkbride!
Fuck you MB
Wow, you really know how to win an argument SB.
DAVE’S A THIEF.
And you are the friend of a thief. Birds of a feather and all that.
Pay back what you have stolen Mr Cameron and step down at the next General Election.
It is either that or Holloway nick.
At least you will make lots of new friends there!
191 = Dolly’s Rabid Re-Butt-all Squad. It all started in America, so I am claiming my $5.
How is he a benefit cheat?
And Moran
Biggest joke of the week is that the Telegraph is listing CAROLINE SPELMAN as one of the SAINTS in the expenses saga.
Good.
But she and all the rest of the piss-taking troughers should be forced out NOW, rather than have the luxury of another year with fingers firmly wedged in the till.
Then they should be prosecuted.
Bastards.
My pitchfork is oiled and waiting (not a euphemism).
Roger, Rog on that.
I expect pitchforks and ropes and bats will come into use after the next election- most of these scum will lose the protection of parliament and will be easily accessible to the general public- pretty sure I have an old sword lying around the attic somewhere
Kirkbride lives in Vincent Square. Mind you, she`s been very reasonable and could have spent a lot more. She says it shows how hard things are for worling mothers, and she is a victim. Be sympathetic!
In our glee, let’s also remember that another British soldier rom the 2nd Battalion the Mercian Regiment has been killed in an explosion in southern Afghanistan.
R.I.P.
What is the purpose of the mission in Afghanistan?
|f Brown does not inform the Commons exactly what the hell he thinks he is achieving by sending under-equipped soldiers to occupy a country that is unoccupiable then we will have to honourably withdraw immediatelY.
Why does Gordon Brown keep spilling British soldiers’ blood on foreign soil?
Is it because he is too embarrassed to admit the failure of New Labour’s foreign policy?
YES IT IS.
BROWN IS A TRAITOR.
BUGGER OFF BACK TO SCOTLAND YOU WAR CRIMINAL.
Piss off he loves england to much, he see,s himself as english, he has always wanted to be english, he has a pretendy english accent, he is english just like the rest of the jockland mp,s they utterly loath being thought of as jocklanders, he and they, will not give up being english
Brown will have to give up his addiction to drinking English soldiers’ blood because he is about to get kicked out of office by his own side.
I hope the withdrawal symptoms for Brown the junkie are severe and unbearable.
COLD TURKEY YOU KNOW IT’S GOT BROWN ON THE RUN.
Yes it is interesting isn’t it. Brown rolls around in a bullet proof, bomb proof vehicle in safe London while our poor lads are in DANGEROUS Afghanistan in canvas proof vehicles – i.e. NO PROTECTION !
Clearl Brown wants to destroy the British Army so I suggest all the British Army should go on strike and COME HOME NOW where they are really needed.
Do you think Brown and BLiar has sent then on all these wars just to DESTROY THE BRITISH ARMY ?? So they are not here while the traitors dismantle the country?????
The lessons of history just have not been learnt!
Even at the height of the British Empire it was NEVER possible to tame or defeat the Pathan tribesmen of the North West Frontier!
Labour may have fucked up the country but my god they are taking the piss out of the Tories here. Two minutes after Julie Kirkbride resigns they slip out the news about Margaret Moran knowing full well the media will concentrate on the Tory trougher. Obviously that option is not available to the Tories as the BBC will always concentrate on Tories.
A good day to bury bad news indeed.
Classic Zanu tactic.
Moran is top of the news on the BBC website at the moment.
Do you think that if Cameron were to step down as Tory leader, the Labour party would quietly “dispose” of Gordon Brown? Now that would be a price worth paying! Talk about “one small step for man”.
Fucking BBC. Their politics site is full of positives for Moran’s decision, saying very little, whereas the page dedicated to Kirkbride’s departure is riven with negatives, detrimental snipes and public exhortations of retribution and disgust… They are BOTH as bad as each other so treat them the same, you BBC fuckers.
Your time is coming, BBC, and when it does, we will all have long memories.
P.S. To acknowledge the above, another soldier killed in a war against an enemy that the world’s greatest army, the RED army, couldn’t beat with all their resources and manpower…. when will we just leave them be ???
RIP dude, you died for nothing.
Worse than that, the bastards who sent him to die spent their time stealing from him and us instead of doing their job and making sure he was properly equipped.
Most politicians appear to be guilty of theft. Some of them are also guilty of war crimes. I wont hold my breath waiting for any of them to see the inside of a jail cell.
This morning, BBC breakfast’s reporter referred to JK as Julie McBride. I wondered if he had read the wrong line on his set of instructions.
Why is the media not pursuing the use of expenses for image makeovers/media training for cabinet ministers by Scarlett McGwire? This is surely a cast iron case of misappropriation of public funds for party political purposes. Oh.. I get it, it must all be sub judice.
Hey a couple of nights ago I heard Paxman ACTUALLY say, on Newsnight, that “despite the Government “buggering up the economy” we now have xxxxx”. Can’t remember what xxxx was but it WAS totally fatuous stuff and NOTHING to do with politics. Paxman was clearly pissed off with his producer and quite right too.
Labour are laughing their heads off. All this bad publicity centred around the Tories, their rubbing their hands with glee, it takes the limelight of them, but we all know the biggest thieves in Parliamnet are all in the fucking cabinet. You’ll all be laughing on the other side of your faces soon.
I sense some it’s-a-good-day-to-bury-bad-news management on labour’s behalf here, with Moran announcement only a wee bit later than that from everyone’s bride (using the lingo of the country’s leaders here).
cheeriuu
BBC have the Moran story above the Kirkbride saga on their website. Good riddance to both. Who’s next? Roll up roll up….
I’m sure Downing Street are on the phone to the Beeb right now to tell them get these stories swapped round pronto.
Kilbride’s name now mentioned before Moran on BBC website. Job done by Downing Street.
Now back on the blower to see if we can hide the Moran story on another page.
if you mean this story…
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8070742.stm
…then I count 28 paragraphs regarding kirkbride and 6 about moran.
I’m a fan of neither, but this hardly seems fair treatment.
Does that Moran slag use marmalade for makeup? How come she looks so orange?
What took them so fucking long?
It was DAVE.C wobbling… like a top.
Fuck you lot with your low paid day jobs.
You can have my extension, dear. Should not cost you 50 grand either as I only charge by the inch.
Don’t suppose it’ll be too tough for you two thieves on the settling down money you’ll receive from us taxpayers.
Charge by the inch – that’s a new way to earn as an “escort”!
She did ACTUALLY say that 12 years ago!
Mind you, Moran’s resignation statement is a masterpiece of it’s-not-my-fault, I-didn’t-do-anything-wrong, I’ve-got-a-health-problem self-justification:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6380683.ece
Job done.
Next.
Moran gone too.
Next.
Madine Dotties is next if Iain Dale’s judgement is anything to go by.
ah….ah…..ah…………
I-I-I-I-I-I-I am a noisy man!
I am a noisy MA-A-A-A-A-AN!!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHH!!!!
Yes, job done.
Now let’s concentrate on getting that housing benefit cheat David Cameron to resign.
He has stolen a hundred thousand pounds from the taxpayer in the last four years by making false housing benefit claims.
GRAB YOUR PITCHFORKS, WE ARE GOING AFTER THE THIEF DAVID CAMERON MP!
fucking moran as well – brylliant
Dam. Now I’ll have to change my name.
Margaret Moran standing down too !!!! BBC breaking news now
now let’s concentrate on the Balls’
now let’s concentrate on the Balls’
Yeah I’ve had enough of the ar$holes.
Easy.
Balls is protected by Andrew Porter political editor of DT. DT were after Kirkbride.
What about about the Keens Labour’s greatest double troughing act.
Brown is keeping his down and pleased that Kirkbride has taken all the heat.
Time to shift focus to Labour miscreants. And Clegg who refuses to hand back £2.5 million of stolen money. Now that is serious.
Daily Telegraph = A corrupt part of the problem.
Ed Balls and David Cameron and Yvette Cooper are thieves.
They are part of the problem.
WE ARE CLOSING IN ON BENEFIT FRAUDSTERS: ED BALLS DAVE CAMERON AND YVETTE COOPER WE ARE TARGETING YOU AND WE WILL BE COMING DOWN ON YOU LIKE A TON OF BRICKS.
STOP STEALING TAXPAYERS MONEY YOU GREEDY AND CORRUPT PIGS.
FINAL WARNING.
STOP MAKING FALSE CLAIMS YOU THIEVES.
Balls and Cooper are finished.
And so is the thief David Cameron.
The people of Brosmgrove can f**k themselves… why should,nt I spent £1000 on some photos. I am a working mother, who needs to look good. If the people of Bromsgrove cannot understand this then god help them!
Shut yer piehole.
You could put a blue rosette on a pig in Bromsgrove and it would get voted in.
Oh… will you look at that! It would appear that they did.
And I managed to get planning permission on a grade 2 listed building in a green belt off the local Tory council.
Ha ha suckers
You’re talking a load of old rot – dry rot
Should have gone on a cruise, complete studio sitting for $20.
My bitch ex-wife used to have highlights something like Kilbrides and that was £90 a week… a decade ago, if she was on a cruise she would be out of the way for a couple of weeks or a round the world gig six months..
JULIE KIRKBRIDE SAYS: Dave has promised me a new job. I`ve asked for Baroness Kirbride Of Bromsgrove. What sad losers you are. Love and kisses, Jules xxxxxxxxxx
anon may be right on the money here . . . “much still to offer” and more righteous pish. I suspect a hisn’hers fitting for the ermine lined fun suit and golden tickets on the gravy train to Pugin central . . .
Buh-Bye little Piggy.
Margaret Moran is ALSO going!!!
Cull the piggies!!!
the job that I adore, ha ha ha ha
were’nt you a german teacher?
what a shallow woman Kirkbride was and Dave could`nt see it.
Blair-Babe Moran has decided to stand down.
Babe as in “Pig in the City”?
fuck off troughing sow and DONT come back.
Kirkbride is coming back, Dave has promised her a job. Unbelievable!
Excellent. Only another 635 or so to go. Next please.
what a silly comment Admiral. Kirkbride has been courting sympathy, has offered no apology, arrogantly said she could have spent more, and now tries to say she is leaving to spend more time with her son. What rubbish! Cameron says she was a very effective MP. What rubbish! She should be prosecuted.
Bit sorry about Julie Kirkbride. Had to be done though…..
It’s a seminal moment. But don’t let that blind you.
Hon-hon-hon, mon brave. Vraiment, vous etes un grand perverte.
Voudriez-vous regarder la petite Julie engagé dans un peu de flambé soixante-neuf, hein?!
Ah, chacun a son gout. Continuez frapper le singe.
We love seminal!
Yeah, it gets in your eyes if you blink at the wrong moment!
silly comment Admiral.
Someone give dippy dopey dale a cuddle he will be distraught seeing another wee piggy exit from the Westmonster Zoo with a £100,000 retiral sweetie
NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!
All you get from GayDale is a pile of tory propaganda.
Troulbe is, he believes the shite!
Is he making a list of the departed?
Has decided not to visit the good people of Bromsgrove today – what a laugh – she would have been lynched. Next please!
is anyone keeping a running total of the voluntary exiters ?
Voluntary ? This is enforced, they will all hang on unless they are forced out, it’s leadership see ? Do as the glorious leader does, it’s his only leadership quality, lead by example, steal, deceive,game the system for personal benefit but do not volunteer anything. Just like McWanker.
As of last night the window of her constituency office hadn’t been repaired.
The landlord probably doesn’t think its worth it. It’ll only get broken again.
Its owned by the local tory party, paid off on parliamentary allowances courtesy Kirkbride.
According to local West Midlands news, her constituents want a Bi-Election now.
Standing down in a years time, is not acceptable.
How about a bi-curious election? For those who aren’t quite sure?
How dare you!
I am sure of my orientation Carlos, dear boy you sound just delectable!
Are they that into the LGBT agenda?
So what about her neighbour, the Home Sec. Seems to be one rule for Kirkbride and another for Labour Cabinet Ministers. How come Brown has been able to get away with not sacking a single Minister over this, apart from Malik for mouthing off that he was a “million % within the rules”.
Come on – fairs fair – get Piggy Smith in the sights – she makes a big, fat, juicy target!!!!!!
Come on box ticker, more boxes to tick.
Passports please! Yes you do have to wear the ankle tags.
Been there, done that – got the t-shirt.
What happened to Blears’ ‘unacceptable’ conduct?
Or McTwat’s unacceptable conduct as the worst fucking Prime Minister we’ve ever had?! Time for an election.
Never mind an election – that will just give us more of the same.
It’s time for a revolution.
It’s time for government that is fit for purpose.
Why at the NEXT election? IT SHOULD E NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, she should go NOW.
Exactly.
They should be arrested now but secret committees are working on how to white wash MPs crimes as we speak. Unfortunately we all have to wait until the GE to do what the party leaders should be doing now. The law needs changing so if MPs are found to be corrupt they should not be paid any more money and should also forfeit their pensions. And no peerages for failed speakers who try to cover things up either!
The case for arresting Kirkbride is clear cut.
Hellloooooo Guido…….
Better……….
Much much better
Pick them off, one by one….
All very well but there are still larger fish getting away without the attention that has been focused on Kirkbride and THEY are still in Cabinet although some undoubtedly will not be MPs after an election !
Both in the Cabinet, and shadow cabinet!
Fucksters ALL
The biggest fattest fucking pigs are the MEPs and the EU. Let’s get them next, but first don’t forget that all the MPs ’stepping down’ will still get our money via their pension. Prosecute the fuckers send them to gaol strip them of their pensions – only then will we be happy.
One Bromsgrove constituent remarked:
“I wish I had a thousand pounds to spend on my family, let alone on some fancy photos”.
Her photos looked good – but a Grand!
Phew.
Wonder if she does nude?
In the spirit of bi-partisanship – Caroline Flint’s were better I thought ! I almost fancied her(quick take another tablet and lie down – the ol’ ticker can’t take it!!!!!!)
Please post a link…
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/gallery/2009/may/10/fashion-caroline-flint?picture=346969477
God teeth – that Flint has legs like a tree trunk – no wonder she wears such high heels. Unfortunately for her, it doesn’t work!
photos taken over a period of years.
£500 for a day’s shooting? – not too expensive
Please can I go for a day’s shooting with these thieving hoons?
Guns, not cameras of course!
Haven’t you seen the spread then
Small change compared to Harriet’s media training
what was the name of the money receipient. Ian Kirkbride!
Is this the Court of Public Opinion in full effect? I hope so – Gordon and his vile mob have got no chance next Thursday if it is!
Great!! This devious, unrepentant harpy thoroughly deserved to be defenestrated for the fraud she and her egregious husband deliberately and systmatically perpetrated on the coping classes for years. Let’s hope they are both prosecuted as well.
It beggars belief that she could not see that the “rules” were so loosely designed that any normal person’s perception of probity would recoil from them. Perhaps she should consult Brown G about moral compass.
Good riddance – what a shame that Dave didn’t have the cojones to sack her imediately
Amusing to see Stainsey behaving holier than tho, considering what a member of her Majesty’s judiciary had to say about him
I think you’ll find that unlike Moran and Kirkbride, no taxpayers were damaged in the production of this blog.
This was always the inevitable outcome. Justice at last.
I could not believe the sustained campaign of support from Iain Dale and tacit acceptance from David Cameron for a ‘trougher’ whose ‘crimes’ are in my opinion, far more serious than those of her husband.
I was paying for her bother to live rent free in a somewhat palatial flat and having his own extension built. I was also paying for her sister to undertake what would have to be limited secretarial duties some 124 miles away.
Could it be that both Dale and Cameron were seduced by a pretty face or did she know where the bodies are buried?
The Cons are showing lack of judgement.. As for Cameroon kick his and Gordo’s face in at the Euro elections – Vote UKIP
Wasted vote……
UKIP – I would rather spoon feed myself my own kidneys….
Wake up – Nobody should vote – then none of the tossers can claim office
Try them with a red wine sauce – very tasty.
Not voting is the worst thing you can do, that way the main parties can fob off low turnout as the result of a hundred and one other things their propaganda teams can come up with.
If you DO vote, for lets say.. UKIP, it gives a clear message that cannot be twisted, cannot be ignored.
Furthermore, a vote for any smaller party which may otherwise be a ‘wasted’ vote is not so in these elections, with the use of the PR voting system.
No excuses for lazy fucks, dont come crying on here if you have no intention to actually do something about it.
Justice! they both still have all the loot in a big swag bag, where the f*** is the justice in that?
The brother is a bit of a mystery – 59 years old, a bachelor, living off his sister/us, running a business that has never traded allegedly – he sounds a bit simple, bit like the ‘family secret’ hidden in the attic…one of the red tops should investigate further methinks.
Further investigation is essential. Theres much still uncovered. Ian Kirkbride lived in California in a run-down flat until sister became an MP. Another fact, he has lived at the Bromsgrove flat for 12 years not 5, and has never been an au pair. Get investigating Airey!
Cameron has come out of this badly. We can only speculate on why he backed Kirkbride, but it is worthy speculation. She now claims he will find her another job in politics. Why? He says she gave a good account of herself. What? He says she was an excellent MP. Ask people in Bromsgrove Dave! This poisonous woman is a danger to the tory party and she should be prosecuted. Her fraud was massive and she is not paying a penny back! Cameron just doesn`t get it.
Was he legging her, do you think?
Who can tell!
That Moran woman is a coward to the last, slipping in her notice under the cover of Kirkbride’s.
And also claiming she done nothing wrong it’s the same old song forever
A good day to bury bad news.
Perhaps they can both retrain as teachers…
Please no. They’ll go straight into management. And there are enough incompetent politicospeak spinning w*nkers there already.
Sunderland are shite.
I concur.
£22,500 on dry rot for a three bed terrace, more like handy work on a Spanish villa, follow the money, get the receipts, put the builder in the dock and make him take an oath. Moran is a liar, a thief and a fat cow. Follow the money.
Incidentally, how can Geoff Hoon get away with flipping 4 houses in 4 years, an obvious abuse of the system, and not be hounded by the press. Why is the Brown Broadcasting Corp not chasing after these bastards.
I saw Kirsty Wark on Newsnight last night being warned off by Lord Mandybater in no uncertain terms, telling her to withdraw a comment that Moran was useless, and she did, and today Moran the snuffler has stepped down, and said she did nothing wrong, why aren’t the press chasing this truffler.
Now, not at the next election!
They will fill their fookin boots until then!
She’s still got time to Trough.
People of Bromsgove – ARISE and call for a Bi-Election!
I’ll vote for that.
Is a bi-election something where you vote for Lindsay Lohan?
I’d give her one!
I thought it was voting for your favourite isotope of Atomic Number 83.
The next election isn’t that far away
julie says “it didn’t occur to me that i had done anything wrong”
And therein lies the fucking problem.
Kirkbride knew EXACTLY what she was doing.
Hoon next ???
Julie Kirkbride: I told you yesterday that the public wanted blood. You didn’t listen.
Gordon Brown: The public want blood. They want your blood. When they are finished with your blood they will want someone else’s blood. Just give the public what they want then go and find a new career.
Perhaps he’ll go and join Royal Dutch Shell…
“They are going like skittles today…”
Dropping like flies is the image i have. Flies around shit.
certainly sounds more appropriate, with a smell to match
Whiffs of necrotizing fasciitis to me. Mind you, Jackboots has go to give that diagnosis legs.
More pork! More pork!
I adore pork and a good beef……….
Sorry, standing down at the next election (and taking your 40 odd grand wind down and 60 odd grand years pay off) is not F***ing good enough.
The MP’s should effectively be “put into administration”.
Let the fees office sort out the winding down.
These troughers should go IMMEDIATELY with NO further payment.
So Andrew & Julie will get (by my reckoning)…..
2 x relocation allowance (will be over 100k I’m sure) and 2 x wind up allowance (another 80K)
So, on top of getting their salary & allowances until the next GE, they get a nice £180,000 cheque between them.
THIS IS WRONG
Is it taxable? Assessed for NI contribution?
Wheres DAVE in all this…
Hiding no doubt wondering “whos next?” to resign (in a years time)
F**K the em all
Dave mate, you’ve lost my vote due to your support for Kirkbride. Hopefully someone will remove your leadership soon, as you are pathetic. Sniff that one Dale. It STINKS.
You are Norman Tebbit and I claim my black leather bomber jacket.
:lol:
youve lost my vote for the same reason. the Kirkbride stench will last for years.
Dave missed a golden opportunity to stand high, instead he identified himself with Kirkbride. Incredible!
You old spoilsport
Let the fees office sort out the winding down.
THE FEES OFFICE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. WHOLESALE CHANGE IS NEEDED.
DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT. NEW RULES PROCESS AND AUDIT, INCLUDE A WAY TO EJECT ANY LITTLE PIGGIE THAT SNEAKS BACK IN.
THEN ELECT A NEW BUNCH, MONITOR ‘EM, AND PRAY THAT THIS COUNTRY CAN BE GREAT AGAIN
It doesn’t add up – I believe that the first £30K is tax-free in each case.
“It has been a privilege to serve the residents of Luton. I will work hard for my constituents until I step down as an MP at the next general election but the understandable anger in the media and amongst the public over the issue of my Parliamentary expenses has had a bruising effect upon my friends, my family and my health and it is for this reason that I have decided to stand down.”
My – fucking-heart-bleeds.
See you In McDonalds you thieving bitch. Mine’ll be a double cheeseburger with fries and a white coffee.
She’s a Grade A – CNT
With luck she’ll end up like that other ex-Blair ‘babe’, Helen Clarke, prosecuted recently for using threatening words and behaviour after a liquid lunch. I’ve seen the U-Tube performance.
Toe-curling.
That’ll be the lot of hundreds of ex-Labour MPs. Their legacy will be to destroy the economy and they’ll end up spending their index-linked gold-plated pensions on booze in provincial hotels that cater to coach tours reminiscing about ‘when I was in government’.
Fucking too good for them. It’s the one thing I’m looking forward to over the next 10 or 20 years. A steady stream of alcohol related deaths from the unseated Labour cohort of 2010. The ones who through 13 years of ideological idiocy destroyed the UK economy.
‘His door was always open….’ [Complete alcoholic]
‘Didn’t suffer fools gladly…’ [Rude, impolite, obnoxious individual]
Great. Get to work Moran et al. Start drinking yourselves to death. You worthless pieces of shit. It will cheer me up slightly.
“…ideological idiocy…”? Considering that Darling is a Trotskyist (check his CV) and that the subject matter of Brown’s thesis was some Marxist from Fife, surely it should be concluded that these leftist nutters have achieved their ideological goal of bringing the British economy into ruin? The last 12 years of policy has been deliberate – and successful.
It remains ideological idiocy whether deliberate or accidental.
Cheer up!
Just think hell and and an infinite train of pineapples for the son of the manse.
It’ll take her at least five years to make “Fries Captain”, the silly mare.
In a statement, Ms Moran said: “The understandable public anger over the issue of MPs’ expenses has caused me great stress and has seriously worsened my existing health problem.
Yeah, Kleptomania is an awful disease isn’t it?
Her health problem is the least of her problems. Hopefully.
Hopefully she’ll catch high speed lead poisoning soon.
They all have to go and pay back what they have stolen, before of course a virtual trial in front of a tribunal ( courtesy of J. Straw ) then locked up for theft, fraud, malfeasance or anything else that can be laid at their door.
In the name of fairness I nominate one J. Straw, to stand his first of many virtual tribunals ( no double jeopardy courtesy of same J. Straw ) until the correct decision is made and he is punished accordingly.
Quite a delicious possibility isn’t it?
The jackasses who repealed double jeopardy being tried, tried and tried again for the same offence until they either run out of money defending themselves or we find a jury that will give the ‘correct’ verdict.
Now that would be poetic justice.
“But until this week’s furore, it didn’t cross my mind that I had done anything wrong.” JK on BBC
Yes dear – that is exactly the fucking problem – you stupid fucking cow.
The entire scandal summarised beautifully by JK.
Do they still get paid the ‘Golden Parachute’?
Gold? It’s f***ing platinum mate
Another one bites the Dust!
Not really – plenty of time to Trough………….
lining her pockets for a few years to come.
Thats all well and good, but are they going to pay back any of their ill gotten gains! they are both still very well off on the backs of the taxpayer.
The cash and assets they are in possesion of are still classified as ” Loot “
Shame. Not.
For some reason that I cannot explain the Julie Kirkbride saga bunched the Tuscan panties like no other trougher or trough-ette. Her superciliousness and general extraordinary carelessness with the hard-earned of the British taxpayer were pretty foul.
Time for Guido to throw his hat in the ring, Ester Rantzen-style – pick up the excellent and much missed David Sutch’s baton and run with it. Post Gordon the Green Gourment we’ll need something to keep us fully entertained.
Cue tears from Mrs. Dale, defender of the indefensible and trough-warrior for the status quo.
Now, does this mean Moran doesn’t have to go before the chocolate STARfish chamber?
Ditto Kirkbride before the “scrotumy panel”?
I bet it does. That way they get to keep the loot!
Kirkbride will try anything – look how she`s twisting this into the problem of being a working mum. That false shallow woman beggers belief.
Good but that will be NOW won’t it NOT at the next election. Plus keep up the pressure on the thieving cow to pay back what she’s stolen and make sure PLOD takes her to court.
Play her off, keyboard cat!
Moran – “However, it is very important that I make it absolutely clear that I have done nothing wrong or dishonest in relation to my claim for expenses …” Lying fucking bitch!
Dunc very soon now.the little bastards wriggling but we,ll get him
NEWSFLASH!!!!!!
All US embassies worldwide are being ordered to ditch all currenicies excepting local ones. They are being advised to especially get rid of ALL British sterling. They expect an unspecified crisis in the next 120-180 days.
One presumes form this comment that Guido is long on sterling.
Even if this is factually correct, the explanation is tripe.
Well, it’s been creeping UP against the dollar for the past couple of months. Went through $1.60 yesterday against $1.37 at the beginning of March, but still down from $2.00 a year ago.
These things are important when your salary is in dollars and your mortgage in Sterling!!
Well Steve, it was your decision to work for foreigners so don’t come here bleating about it.
Idiot.
IF this is true, and it is a very big IF, it may well be that the Americans know what is going to happen because they are going to cause it to happen.
The dollar needs support, and knocking out the competition would be a good way to do it.
My feeling is – Bring it on.
The sooner we are forced to put our house in order, the easier it will be.
And “easier” is a very relative term.
We are going to drop the Americans right in the doo-doo.
It is a matter of when and not if.
NEWSFLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All US embassies world wide are being ordered at gunpoint to stock up on hamsters, carrots and sombrero hats.
The sombrero will become official currency as financial markets fail and the world plunges into Mad Max style anarchy.
The hamsters will prove adequate sustenance while America reveals it’s top secret carrot powered cars and aircraft to a stunned world as fuel shortages ensue.
They expect an imment crisis in the next 24 days – 381years and is being referred to by it’s codename “operation sausage blaster”
Who next?
Such a wide choice available from which to pick?
Jacqui Smith is an obvious one. The cheery chipmunk being another.
I think the approach has to be look at the crime. If you can get one for a particular crime you get all of them that have done likewise.
1. Tax accountants on the bills. Get one, we’ve got a lot from the cabinet.
Nick
Five Bellies will not go on the same day as Mooran. All that lard on the move would tie up the constabulary nationally on wide load escort duties.
Errr. standing down or going down Guido?
If its standing down…HOORAYYYYY!
If its going down…..Nooooooooooo!
Even I have standards.
is that you Ann?
I fancy quick spin in the old washing machine…
And what about Alistair Darling, when does he quit for charging stamp duty, that he personally levied, to House of Commons expenses?
Why was even Brown claiming for second home expenses while having a grace and favour home supplied by us?
Brown who was never elected leader of the Labour Party let alone Prime Minister and who denied us a referendum on Europe, even when promised in their Mainifesto. Perhaps he should go and live in either North Korea or Burma. They don’t like democracy or elections there either. What an arrogant mindless c u n t he is, and the rest of his government.
One law for us, one law for MPs and definitely one for Government Ministers and Prime Ministers. They have done more to foster hate in this country than any government I am able to remember.
Just fuck off and go AND give us our money back.
If you think 2 is a good score you can’t be very good at pub skittles, Guido.
Where does this leave Esther Rancid standing?
Is she completely floored?
Will she count Richmond as her second home?
Will she claim for a better set of choppers on exes and can the taxpayer afford it?
Parliament will be full of old has-been soap stars..
Not much diff…
Glenda Jackson MP for example?
Another chocolate teapot.
The egocentric Esther Rantzen who is so desperate to revive a failing career and find public attention now wants to stand for Luton South. She’s treating Westminster as yet another income generating opportunity like “Get me outta here, I’m a celebrity” and “Strictly Come Dancing”. The woman is appalling. No one is interested, despite her deluded claims that the public love her. She should just shut up.
hear hear!
………..or stand against someone really nasty like Balls
She might be able to afford a facelift if she gets in – God she’s a wrinkly old crone!
She’s already had several. Plain as a pikestaff to se when she’s on TV.
But what about McNulty and Smith and Hoon and all the other government swindlers? Never mind the White pawns what about the Red King and Queen and Bishops, Knights and Castles?
You lot are a gift to Brown.
YEP!!!!
Look on it like a US SEC-type prosecution. In the US they go after the small fry who in turn squeal and dump on the large fry until eventually the boss of Enron or WorldCom is in the slammer.
Over here the FSA spends millions going after the bosses, constructing an insanely elaborate case at the behest of lawyers on 2000 quid an hour at public expense and then drop all charges because it’s too complex and too long to ask an average jury to sit through. Lawyers still get paid though.
This is going after the weak links who the heirarchy are happy to see slung to the lions but if we go after enough of them somebody will break ranks and point up the food chain. That’s the strategy. Loving it.
Jacqui Smith, AWOListair Darling et al are absolutely shitting themselves. You can be sure that right now we’ll be being billed for their legal advice too.
Perfik.
Those calling for byelections are missing the point (and the correct spelling).We need a GENERAL ELECTION now, as Dave is calling for, then there can be a real cull and the troughing stops the day before the election.By the way, now that JK has fallen on her sword, why not move on to more worthwhile targets; tyhere are enough of them.Here’s one : Eric Joyce.In his 8years he has managed over £1 million in claims on the taxpayer.
My politics are right of Atilla the Hun but bacause none of the parties deserve to be voted in I am seriously thinking of voting for picknose in the GE so that he can either finish us off or clean the fucking mess up
Frank, you need treatment, FAST!
I did nothing wrong, it was within the rules.
What I did was within the rules, too.
Biassed BBC:
Main headline – Kirkbride
The small print – Moran
The even samller print:
“The House of Commons authorities have confirmed that Ms Moran’s financial arrangements had been cleared by the Fees Office in 2007 but they have now apologised for giving erroneous advice.
In a letter to Ms Moran, copied to Labour’s Chief Whip Nick Brown, the Commons’ director general of resources says: “I can confirm that the advice you were given at the time was wrong.”
A Commons employee, Terry Bird, had “apologised for the matter” and explained to Ms Moran what action needed to be taken “to resolve this matter, the letter adds.”
It wasnae me. Do Tories get “Fees Office to Blame” letters too? Martin still in charge as Speaker, Plod plodding towards Fees Office interviews eventually
Nope it’s Moron as lead story then normal font for story.
I can’t believe that the Fees Officer has been named – that is VERY unusual practice.
BBC have now gone to both in the main story. I think even they realised they couldn’t single out Kirkbride any more.
Pilger has some good comments at http://www.johnpilger.com/page.asp?partid=534
Maybe I should stand for parliament. As a former Page 3 model I think I have the right qualifications.
:)
There’s no doubt about it. Over the years we’ve all allowed the issue of wages and allowances to become a real mess. The electorate is furious – from members getting wives, partners and relatives on the parliamentary payroll to expense claims for duck houses, flipping and servants quarters.
The message is loud and clear – the major political parties have got to put this House in order, and as I’ve blogged before, its been too long.
So since we’re reviewing the regulation of politics and banking, perhaps we can now have a frank and honest debate about arguably the worst area of self-regulation of all.
The press themselves.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/may/28/john-prescott-mps-expenses-reform
Are you Nikki Page? She`s a friend of Julie Kirkbride
Where will it all end?
Nowhere near me Mate!!!!
BBC is still banging on exclusively about Kirkbride. To them, she is the embodiment of the evil, venal Tories. They’ve got reporters all over Bromsgrove, they’ve led every news broadcast with her and they have been denouncing her non-stop on R5 for the last 4 hours.
She deserves to be driven out with a boot up her jacksie but what about proportionality and all the others? Moran has just resigned (for far worse) and they have all but ignored it.
Clearly the lesson from all this has been supplied by the odious Gerald Kaufman, who, by dint of employing the “fuck you” tactic, has slimed off without penalty. He’s not stood down, paid anything back or suffered anything other than momentary discomfort.
Never complain, never explain, say nothing and keep your head down and it will all go away pretty quickly. The lazy media will soon seize upon an easier target. On the other hand, if you try to do the right thing by confronting your detractors, or offer an explanation, you will quickly become a dead man walking.
Only the weak and garrulous will be the victims in all this. The real monsters like Blinky and co will just carry on as usual.
Good post.
This is now being spun as an anti-Tory story while the bigger miscreants in the Cabinet get off.
Suits UKIP too as they want to peel votes of the Conservatives – which serves Brown’s purpose by splitting the opposition vote.
The DT seem to regard Kirkbride as their victim to devour for the main course as well. Mail still hasn’t got Moran as a story. Oddly, the most even handed coverage in in the Guardian.
Is there a reverse psychology in news editors’ minds?
‘Oddly, the most even handed coverage is in the Guardian.’
The clue is in their name, sir. **Chuckles into Pot-Noodle**
I hear the BBC actually encouraged Kirkbride with reporters telling her for days that “it was within the rules” was a great excuse and the public were totally behind her.
Do you know who put the crazy juice in Nadine Dorries tea before she went off the deep end at the Barclay Bros. ? That’s right. The BBC.
Who tells the cabinet when to finally move against Brown ? The BBC.
Care to guess who forced the Banks to make a fool out of Brown ? The BBC.
And who is behind the viscious European octopus who stalks us all ? B.B.C.
But don’t worry. Dave will dismantle this despised national institution to widespread public acclaim. because the public hates the BBC and loves Politicians. Always have always will.
You’re are such a fucking weirdo Rebeka – no wonder your circulations gone tits.
Now for the big one guys and gals
GORDON BROWN
I’m not kidding
Cameron and Clegg also. Both handed back money which is an admission of guilt.
Yeah, Buck Rogers ‘Brown’ & his trusty side kick ‘Hawk’ aka moneybags next please.
Ding Dong the Witch is dead…
Not yet. Cameron wants her in the House Of Lords.
May I add the name of Ian Gibson, who to the astonishment of all (including himself) by the Liebour “Star Chamber” despite selling a taxpayer-funded flat in London for half price to his daughter?
add “was exonerated” after the brackets
But look at the standards they have set themselves – the NEC said McBride could remain a Labour Party member FFS.
My point is that the Liebour “Star Chamber” is only window dressing and their verdict is a scandal, as is Ian Gibson’s obvious dishonesty.
“I did nothing wrong, it was within the rules”.
The Nuremberg Defence:- a legal defence that essentially states that the defendant was “only following orders” (“Befehl ist Befehl”, literally “order is order”) and is therefore not responsible for his/her crimes. The defence was most famously employed during the Nuremberg Trials, after which it is named.
How ironic!!!
Am amazing defence – according to MPs not one of the them is guilty of anything (except getting caught of course – “nasty Tory meeja”).
Since stuffing innocents into gas chambers and up the chimney was in fact “within the rules” set by the Nazis, by their logic Hitler at al were as pure as the driven snow.
Bastards.
They still found the buggers GUILTY!
All part of the white wash I’m afraid.
Next the PM will announce no MP has done anything wrong and they just made mistakes!
Next thing we will see is -
“Not in the public interest to prosecute them!”
Public will have to do its own dirty work and vote them out at the next GE as no one seems to have any power to arrest them or even stop us all paying for these crooks. What are the party leaders doing about these people? Hot air is not good enough!
How are we supposed to believe all the Bull Shite coming out from various party leaders? They have known about the gravy train for 20 years and only now are they saying they’ll do something. When exactly are they going to do anything at all? Empty promises are not going to convince anyone to vote for the big 3.
It’s in the public interest to hang each one of them – use that Hoon’s 500 tree’s on his estate – you know the one who thinks we are jealous……
advice. rules, stepping down…….blah blah blah…….what a load of swollen bollocks………..it’s a swindle
Only Browns blood will satisfy the beast
They should be put down, rabid dogs all. If they all followed the rules then why are they going? Having spent years assisting former servicemen I am sick of the lies, the half truths and sheer hard faced arrogance, except from Jacqui Spliff with her husbands awful taste in porn. If she was to claim for a face job I have a few stashed Rhodesian Dollars…
Guido wins the daily double!
Trillions p**sed away on bankers!
Paying for Labour excessed for the next decade with higher taxes!
….. and we all get uptight about MP expenses. No wonder the politicians are able to get away with it.
Time for some real change. Where’s Ollie C. when you need him
Free the English
To avoid embarrassment to the party,I have decided to stand down immediately,in a years time with any luck. I will be keeping my resettlement allowance,gold plated pension,profit from the sale of my second home,half of John Lewis’s current stock of household items(top of the range),all the communication equipment from my constituancy office,the Taj Mahal extension to my main home,the Ferrari that was needed for touring the constituancy,and of course my small holiday retreat,the simple eight bedroomed beach hut in Montego Bay.
I hope this will restore faith in honest hardworking members of this great House,that it has been my privilage to serve.
Iain Dale has just been on The World at One toadying to Julie Kirkbride following her announcement that she’s standing down, with no acknowledgement of the case against her at all.
According to him, she did nothing wrong and has been hounded by the media.
Excuse me, she connived with her unlamented husband to claim for two second homes between them. If he is a thief so is she.
She had to go. Also gone is any credibility Iain Dale had as an objective political commentator.
Dale thinks that Julie will kick the wig out. So, he thinks he can get his hands under her skirt.
Dale will sell his arse to be an MP
Er no, Dale is more likely to exchange wallpaper advice with her, as he bats for the other side.
Oh, I see. He is one of those.
Why are they all protecting Kirkbride. Her fraid is bigger than the others and her image is apalling.
Dale has already put himself up as a candidate, also I hear the entire cast of Eastenders will put themselves forward with Coronation street cast in opposition.
Any news on Micheal White and Polly havin a Go, Guido?
Dale has made a tit of himself over Dorries and Kirkbride.
Yes he is a fucking cocksucker.
Probably!
So we have just raised Iraq to the ground in order to set up a democracy, just like the one we’ve got?
Poor sods.
Perhaps they could return the favour?
Couldn’t happen to a nicer couple of ladies, finally deciding to step down at the next election because they don’t like bad publicity.
After all, they played the game completely by the rules, therefore did nothing wrong
Fucking yes, finally!!!! Now let’s see them lining up for the firing squad. Go now, the rotten lot of you. GENERAL ELECTION ASAP PLEASE.
Beware complacency.
BBC R4 WATO focussed 95% on Kirkbride. 3rd item was dedicated to bigging up vacuous vamp Ester Rancid (the BBC’s choice for what – next DG?). But the 2nd item, 2nd anniversary of hostages in Iraq, was fully politically coded.
On the face of, it was a dog’s breakfast of excuses for the Foreign Office. As indeed it might, for if the FO wants to know how to deal with hostage taking in the Middle East it could do better. Like talk to the Italians, who really do try to get their nationals released (even when it entails their operatives being shot at and killed by trigger happy Yankies). Or to the Russians. Oh, but you didn’t know there were Russians kidnapped in Lebanon back in the ’80s? There were some, at the outset. Let me tell you why you never heard about them. The Russians found out who was responsible for grabbing their people, took a few hostage-takers hostage themselves, surgically amended their gender, then returned them home – end of story.
But who is in charge of the FO? Correct – someone Guido fingers for the next zanu leader. Someone who can brush off rumours of requiring a personal jet at the public expense for trips to Israel, etc as a political poison attempt, but does need to look better to the public than a bent banana. So it seems Pravda-BBC has already decided it would prefer Foreign Agent Millipede over postman Johnson.
Miliband may or may not know fully about Russian activities in Lebanon. He certainly does know about Russians in Georgia, and by accounts is personally aware that Foreign Minister Lavrov (ex-military as opposed to ex-”researcher”) does not suffer fools or crypto-marxist twaddle gladly. Pravda-BBC tells us the hostage anniversary was publicised by the hostages’ relatives. Where was Miliband?
But really, you can’t. You might upset someone and then what might happen?
evens bet that the missing Gordo is in Iraq, and he gets a photo op (with the also-missing Toenails in tow) with the hostages just as they are miraculously released due to “personal intervention” by our Glorious Leader.
Or in other words, they’ve been released a few days ago and kept under wraps until the one-eyed Hoon could fly over there.
Where is toenails???
Where he usually is, so if McSnot is in hiding, you won’t see Nick.
Miliberk for PM? The kid whose ‘A’ levels spell ‘DD’? Dave the Plank?
Truly we are witnessing evolution in reverse.
Why not exume Jade Goody and make her PM. She couldn’t do a worse job.
She couldn’t do a worse job than Snotty McGobbler.
You are right – Gordon Brown,the criminal and fraudster is the worst disaster zone ever to be put in charge of a country.
We should use him as our secret weapon against the N Korean’s – they will be zero within a few hours of him landing there.
“Supercaliflagelisticexpertcunnulingus
Even though their resignations do fuck all to amaze us……….
(anyone for the second verse?)
Well, it ain’t my day for not omitting words nor adding extra ones, but how about this to make your masterpiece scan?
Supercaliflagellisticexpertcunnilingus
Oranges and nylons too, dear me what fun they bring us
And that dosh from those wet proles that just stuck to our fingers
Ta Ta soon but we should care ‘cos all the good stuff lingers
Does this mean that these ladies could have been said to have both fallen on the pork sword?
Sorry.
Jack Straw has just announced for the Prime Minister that whatever happens at next week’s County and European elections, even if Labour are wiped-out, Gordon Brown is not stepping down ‘because he’s doing an excellent job in very difficult circumstances.’
I bet Labour members are as pleased about that statement as we are. Adam Boulton was saying on Sky News yesterday that the rumour amongst Labour was that Gordon would retire on health grounds soon after June 4th.
They must have meant next year Adam and you just misunderstood!
Jack Straw will have been forced to make that statement by Brown. Don’t you worry though, Straw will be beavering away in the background. This is his big (and only) chance to be PM for a few months and I expect him to seize it very soon.
He’s been anonymous for a few months even before these expense revelations.
He’s up to something.
GUIDO,
when are you going to get a ‘widget’ on your site which, when the button is pressed, sings ‘ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST !!’ ????
O/T but do you remember Brown’s boasts about abolishing bonuses when the state bailed out the banks? Citywire has the details on the millions in bonuses that RBS is dishing out in bonuses.
Here is another pig and target:
http://www.thisissHoonhorpe.co.uk/news/Morley-comment-MP-stepping/article-1031657-detail/article.html
SHoonHORPE MP Elliot Morley has refused to comment on reports Margaret Moran is to be the first Labour MP to voluntarily step down over her expenses.
http://www.elliotmustgo.com/
The link doesn’t work. Please replace Hoon with c**t
Did anyone here on Toady this morning the piece about how Michael Martin was ‘leant on by senior government figure’ to keep the expenses secret and take the appeal against FoI requests to the High Court?
Now also in the Mail:
Speaker was ‘encouraged by very senior political sources to cover up MPs’ expenses’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189154/Speaker-Michael-Martin-encouraged-senior-political-sources-cover-MPs-expenses.html
They are fingering Harman, but smells of Brown to me…
It’s going to be covered on R4 Report tonight at 8PM.
“They are fingering Harman…”
now, there’s a thought!:)
I wouldn’t touch the vile harpy in a million years. She’s all your mate.
She might enjoy a “Dirty Sanchez”, though!
“Stepping down”…..
what,stepping down from their criminal activity and fraudulent theft from the UK taxpayer – these two are thieving women and should be prosecuted.
I await the first court appearance from a bank robber who claims that because they have offered to return the stolen money,they should now be allowed to walk out of court a free person – I can imagine the judges reaction…..
WE NEED A CAMPAIGN TO PROSECUTE!
These FUCKING MPS still do not get it.
They still think that have done nowt wrong.
Fucking Cameron has even written a letter to Julie saying she’s done nowt wrong.
What Fucking planet do they live on?
That’s it I’ve now had it with Cameron and will be voting UKIP at the Euro elections and the General election.
Fucking Hoons the lot of them.
Cameron just doesnt get it. Having anything to do with MacKay or Kirkbride shows total lack of judgement.
Latest Update: Moran and Kirkbride quit
One said: “yeah, sorry.” The other said: “Ooh, it’s me ‘elf! The stress has made me poorly!”
If you get signed off on the grounds of poor health then you can start claiming your pension earlier.
See how it works?
Sady mate, I do…
Margaret ‘twister’ moran…
Isn’t the disability benefit used to keep unemployment figures low?
Moran was so ill she couldn’t turn up at the Star Crossed Chamber of Horrors.
Isn’t it time that Roof Kelly, Ed Balls, Geoff Hoon, Alistair Darling and Goron Brown spent some time explaining why they are not attracting flies to their piles of shit.
I dunno about the others, but I can tell you mine smells of lavendar.
as I keep saying in my blog, we don’t want the corrupt to get away with sloping off to a very comfortable, taxpayer funded retirement. We want the guilty punished for their crimes. Until they are the damage will continue. It is worrying that the politicos cannot understand that.
Theres more to come from Kirkbride. No apology, no remorse, no justification, keeps the loot, and backed by Cameron. How bizarre can you get. Cameron just does not understand – Kirkbride the scheming bitch does, she`s won!
News from the Berlin bunker – Heinrich Himmler has said that there is no way that Adolf Hitler and his pal Eva “Gordon” Braun should resign, because they are doing a great job of fucking their country.
Several hundred members of the party WILL be dealt with by the Galaxy Chamber,due to meet at Clapton in Gordano Services at 2pm tomorrow (in the Burger King restaurant).
This will serve as a reminder that Adolf and Eva are still in power and will remain so until Eva has bitten off the ends of his fingers and exhausted the free supply of Nokia phones.
“Suggestions that Eva is mentally unbalanced are totally untrue” says Hr Himmler (and he should know).
But they’re going to be there drawing their immoral earnings for another year. It’s not good enough, is it? If I tell my boss I’m going he doesn’t expect to find me with my feet up on the desk 12 months later. It’s two months’ notice where I am and if I was caught dipping my fingers in the petty cash it would be out the door now.
Will any one be forced to pay back any money?
Will any one be sacked now?
Will any one be arrested?
Will any one be prosecuted?
What are the police or the DPP doing with regard to this organised thieving of public money?
No one has acted yet from any party in relation to the above.
We are all being ignored as usual in the hope that it will all go away after the summer recess.
The sheer breathtaking arrogance and hypocrisy of these politicains knows no bounds.
Are you going to let your baby be held up and kissed during campaigning by a thief at the next general election?
I don’t hold out much hope for any change. What we are seeing now is just superficial tinkering.
So don’t vote for any mainstream party at the Euro elections on Thursday. Trach them a lesson once and for all!
Happy to teach them once, and for all, but can we keep this up? They are all hoping that a week is a long time in politics.
A thought for all you recent converts to UKIP who seem to think the answer is to vote for anyone but the 3 main parties. What does that gain you other than temporary satisfaction. What happens if UKIP do well, Labour come fourth, and an election is called? Tribalism will rule and a load of troughers will get reelected. Let Labour dig their own hole, we need action to clean up the likely next Government – the Tories. So we need to get rid of all the Tory troughers before a General Election.
If your constituency Tory is a trougher, join the local party en-masse and table a motion to deselect. Overrule the Colonels and the blue rinse brigade who are actually, to a large part, hindering Dave’s efforts to clean out the stables.
But! What of the people voting UKIP because of UKIP’s position on the European Union?
A reminder on why some people are voting UKIP in the Euro Election
No problem with people voting for UKIP if they buy into their manifesto. Just questioning the tactics of those using it as a protest vote. I don’t think it will achieve their hoped for objective come the General Election.
I voted UKIP this time based entirely on their manifesto for the European Election.
Even more imoral that they clearly can’t be bother to stay on as public servants once the perks are taken away! Just goes to show why the went into politics in the first place.. a total disgrace….
They just had to go – the trough was groaning under the strain !
So I get caught fiddling the works expenses and after much wriggling and squirming I fess up. Now will my boss let me stay on the payroll until my contract runs out, then pay me a resttlement grant and a final salary company pension?
Like fuck he will.
Could be why they reckon for every MP there are 20 others who want the job.
Dave says he acted swiftly. He also said MacKays resignation had nothing to do with his appalling constituency meeting.
Iain Dale sounded pathetic as he tried to push the media conspiracy line in the face of his poor judgement.
The Media conspiracy bit is not about Tories getting what they deserve, it is about the extraordinary protection that Cabinet ministers have had, and the disproportionate treatment of almost identical offences.
Right on! What is the Telegraph up to? – It is time to defenestrate some Pigging Ministers, starting with Miss Piggy Jackboots herself!
Damn!
A reminder on why some people are voting UKIP in the Euro Election
Oh dear,I have had a few days away from the internet and enjoyed the lovely Somerset countryside.
Now back home,having just read through these comments,my blood is starting to boil over again and I am ready to commit untold acts of revenge against that piece of shit Brown and his useless cronies (just 5 minutes with Ball’s and my soldering iron,PLEASE!).
Shall start packing again for another break – cannot take the stress that Brown – the greatest criminal since Adolf Hitler – is giving me as I watch this beautiful country go down the drain.
Damn! Let’s try that again
http://thatsnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/why-ordinary-people-are-turning-to-ukip.html
Why people are voting UKIP
Is it because UKIP are as bent as the three main parties?
Nigel Farage is doing very nicely claiming over £2 million pounds.
Is there an age limit for becoming an MP?
Thanks to Gordon McFuckwit and his puppet Chancellor ‘eyebrows’ my savings income is 2/3rds of fuck-all and I have delayed taking my “not a final salary scheme” pension which is worth 1/3rd of fuck-all.
Fortunately, I’ve only got one house to run.
Labour announced Moran is stepping down just minutes after the Tories has announced it about Kirkbride.
Brown is still spinning like mad I see.
I saw Kirsty Wark on Newsnight last night being warned off by Lord Mandybater in no uncertain terms, telling her to withdraw a comment that Moran was a useless MP, and she did, and today Moran the snuffler has stepped down, and said she did nothing wrong, why aren’t the press chasing this truffler. Why should the BBC be afraid of Lord Cocksucker, has ZanuLab put the frightners on the BBC-Pravda. The BBC is as guilty of corruption as the MPs are, they all cover up by not reporting the truth, it is despairing.
Bring on an election, or in Cocksuckers case bring on an erection, Brasilian preferably
it is time to focus on two vital issues now going forward
1) The Election of the New Speaker – Frank Field ( or perhaps Vince Cable)
2) The expenses and wrongdoing of the Cabinet- date for New General Election across the Country this Autumn.
3) G Browns hopeless incompetance as a Prime Minister, he MUST GO!
GORDON – IN THE NAME OF GOD MAN GO – YOUR COUNTRY REQUIRES IT
. . . just heard the news that nice Ms Moran has landed a job with Vauxhall . . . . . .
Yeah, as a crash dummy!
Going forward? Going forward? Only the clueless f*ckwits in pseudo-business have been suckered onto the “going forward” bandwagon. Watch them on the box and single them out – stereotypically mindless wind machines. What a b*nch of c*nts.
OOPss Sorry THREE ISSUES not TWO.
MY MAIN EFFORT IS TO GET THICK SKINNED THICK HEADED BROWN TO NOT ONLY SEE BUT UNDERSTAND THAT ALL THIS MESS WAS ON HIS WATCH AND HE MUST RESIGN – GO PLEASE GO
IS IT TRUE LIKE SOME OF YOU SAY ON HERE THAT IAIN DALES GAY
Who on earth is Iain Dale when he is at home?
Oh, please grow up dear!
Iain Dale has been getting a comprehensive kicking on his blog over his ‘His Master’s Voice’ defence of Julie Kirkbride. One of his critics also remarked that if he goes on like this, his blog will end up like Labourlist.
About time too, that these serial troughers announced they were standing down. Both are corrupt and an utter disgrace to the House of Commons, but how much of what they fraudulently obtained are they actually going to pay back to the Exchequer? It strikes me that Inspector Knacker should be involved in investigating their financial affairs. Standing down and saying sorry, citing health and family reasons, is an utter load of baloney and not sufficient. There are plenty more of these crooked MPs who should both stand down and pay back the monies they have fraudulently obtained from the public purse.
Given that Mackay and Kirkbride (the husband and wife serial troughers) are grudgingly stepping down for their misdemeanours – this should now make it easier for the DT. to focus and draw correlation with Labour’s Adolf (Balls) and his charming wife Eva (Cooper).
I predict the hounding will soon follow them as their are many similarities with their m.o’s. We now have a good test case to draw comparison.
Still cannot comprehend how greedy all these people are, however, it is no surprise given their level of fraud. By-elections for all (including Moran and thew Labour ’scum”) now !

A very interesting page on a BBC website, comparing your average poor and crushed MP’s weekly salary and salary + expenses with the general population, an hourly rate would probably be more use but it is good enough. Of course the hourly rate should not include time spent dining and proping up the bars and travelling time.

Any Chance of seeing all MPs expenses listed in this way. I’d like to see how my MP is doing in the troughing league (I’d hate to think he was lagging behind).
MPs are sick bastards. They should be whipped and rolled in salt. The demented weirdo Kirkbride convinced herself she was saving the taxpayers money by thieving off them. The blubbering cow was like Baby Jane.
The Hoons are mad – let’s kill them.
Kirkbride is unbelievable to normal people. Says a lot about Cameron.
I feel sorry for Julie KirkBride, and also Ian Gibson to some extent. Their offences seem to me to have been to have allowed others to benefit from the second homes for which we were paying. But at least their second homes truly were second homes. That is, these MPs actually lived most of their time at the home which they told the Fees Office was their main home. And they seem to have designated the same home as their main home for ACA and for CGT.
What about the much larger number of MPs who nominated one (cheap) home as their main home for ACA and another (expensive) one as their main home for CGT? Most of these have allowed other family members – spouses and children – to live in their “second” homes. So we as taxpayers have been paying the mortgage interest and running costs of the family home while the MP ends up not even paying any CGT because their “second” home for ACA is their main home for CGT.
It reminds me of the old Trade Union slogan: “One out, all out!”
Or one in – all in!
Can`t you see how thoroughly rotten Kirkbride is, and how her stench will affect the tories for years. It`s not rocket science.
We got away with less than this bunch of crooks. I had to escape to Brazil (where the nuts come from) to escape the taxman and Ripper of The Yard. This lot are flaunting their thefts and rubbing it in the noses of decent honest folk.
We had to stop and rob a bleedin’ train. These slags just fill out a form and the money comes in the next post. Gives hard-working villains a bad name. They should be banged. Up.
ENERGY-SAVING TIP: Will the last MP to quit the Commons please turn out the lights?
Julie Kirkbride is stepping down, because of health reasons. She has found the whole thing stressful for her and her family. She feels she has done nothing wrong.
Well CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER LADY
AFTER-TROUGH DRIBBLING

Would love to chat but
I’m…….to…….busy…….munchin…….gulp GULP GULP buuuurrrrrrppppppp
He used to work for Cunard, but now he sits on his arses all day.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Blanket coverage about Kirkbride on the BBC, and just tiny asides about moran.
Every report they have on it goes into great detail about kirkbride, showing all her tax-payer-funded pictures etc, and generally ranting for ages, followed by a final/quick aside at the end along the lines of “oh yes, and moran’s gone too. family reasons. now back to the story of the evil tory toff bitch who stole all your money…”
How can they possibly defend that as balanced?
By all means rant about the thieves, but if doing so rant about them both, don’t just single-out the tories.
wankers.
yes the BBC are bastards but so is Julie Kirkbride.
After stepping down she should be sent down………both of them!
Ok, they should be sent down!
I’m on my fourth can of stella!
thyat`s too good a fate for the evil Kirkbride.
Now for the Home Secretary!
I’ll repeat this here:
So what about Kirkbride’s neighbour, the Home Sec.? Seems to be one rule for Conservative MPs and another for Labour Cabinet Ministers. How come Brown has been able to get away with not sacking a single Minister over this, apart from Malik for mouthing off that he was a “million % within the rules”.
Come on – fairs fair – get Piggy Smith in the sights – she makes a big, fat, juicy target!!!!!!
I’m not particularly amused that this pair of fraudulent wasters are being enabled to remain as MPs until the next election. I saw Cameron tell of his pleasure that Julie has resigned. But there was no way he was going to sack her!! Similarly, Brown – he who cannot be found – would never have sacked Moran. Who do they think they are fooling???
MPs and party leaders still don’t get it do they? They still think they can control this mess – all for our benefit of course. They believe they are best placed to sort out the mess. This is ludicrous. We have no faith in these people or the system that supports them. It is NOT ACCEPTABLE that this should continue. I want an election NOW. I want all of them throwing out NOW. I want all of them to be investigated for criminal fraud and abuse of public, MY, Money.
Standing down is not enough! These two lying thieving slags have been defrauding the taxpayer for years. They should be sacked with immediate effect, be forced to pay all the money back and get a visit from Inspector Thick.
This means nothing. Both no they won’t be elected next time. They could both resign their respective party’s whip and have a year of at our expense.
I have asked this here before but once elected is there minimum amount of work (or what passes for work) an MP had to do? Turn up at the Commons’ or hold surgeries or anything?
Toast, toast and even more toast.
Funny how I never get sick of the smell of toast.
I want some more…
Poor old Julie says she is going because the pressure was too much – hang on duck you could have gone on the first day – no pressure!
Gross misconduct on this scale should result in summary dismissal. Nothing less.
They should have got the chop immediately and the money supply stops that second, just like in the real world.
It’s just a reminder that Westminster ain’t the real world and probably never will be. The self serving bastards even serve themselves when they have to leave. It’s enough to think about piano wire and lamp-posts again.
JULIE KIRKBRIDE (MP) : Message from The Third Roundel – “I gave and I took away.”
If the additional costs allowance is in future means tested (as it probabably should be ) just wait for the outcry from all of the lefties currently accusing Cameron of defrauding the taxpayer.
Perhaps these lefties think that only the labour members should be awarded additional costs allowance.

Am I the only one to notice that in the beeb’s report Kirkbride looks on the verge of tears whereas Moran is almost smirking?

I think Margarate Moran is really Sarah Young, the famous 1980s porn star, come of of retirement to screw us rather than the cumshot legend, Peter North
GOODNIGHT JULIE KIRKBRIDE SLEEP TIGHT THE BUGS WILL BITE, FOREVER.
