Elliott Morley Says He Will Stand Down
He will not resign immediately, he still wants to keep claiming his salary and expenses. Claims it was all a mistake and there was no question of deliberate intent. Well that will clearly be his defence. Whether it will wash with a jury remains to be seen.














Jeez , thats fucking big of him.
Hoon
Dear Guido,
Can I please be given some guidance as to the correct use of the noun/adjective/verb ‘Hoon’ as it will, I trust, be included in the next edition of the OED. As for Morley, like his fraudulent colleagues, he should be sacked, beaten and then prosecuted.
beaten,sacked,beaten,prosecuted,beaten,hung,beaten.
don’t forget err… beaten
Want to fuck Morley like an animal, feel him from the inside.
And waterboarding.
And electrocution.
And scourged and crucified. The Romans knew what to do with crims.
you forgot drawn and quartered
BB, as ever…mincing your words….pmsl
For gods sake sake dont mention ” mincing” thats a whole new..er ball game!
I have never minced !!
Hoon = Cυnt
I meant saki saki , thats the bi-ligualualaual coming out in me … bastard Japs , i should have gone to Majorca like everyone else.
When i was over there i thought it was tad Nippy! or maybe its just me.
LOOK THIS GUY IS A Hunt.
LETS FUCK HIM
MOB RULE
WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS
THIS WILL MAKE THE POLL TAX RIOT LOOK LIKE A FUCKING PICNIC IN THE PARTY
I am not to sure about the ” Fuck him” bit … he is a big geezer , it would be like waving a woodbine around is St Pauls catherederal ?
Or throwing a sausage up an alleyway.
Fuck that i will stick to widow palm and her five daughters?
Woodbine? How common. A Player’s Weights, surely?
…Senior Service?
What bit of ‘Fuck off now, you thieving bastard’ do these hoons fail to understand?
You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides
Help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
I know what I’m like to do with those Nine Inch Nails.
March of the Pigs
I am so fed up with these people. Who will rid us of these troughulant pigs?
In what respects is what Morley did any worse than what Jack Straw did?
About time too!!
First?
Fist? Put your face on this, Bambi.
You should have been first but you cut-and-ran before there was time to catch you, you stinking trougher. Morley shouldn’t be getting a 50 grand handout for ‘resettlement’ and another year’s salary: he should be under arrest. So should Bliar!
Meanwhile, Labour are tanking in the polls and even Z-list celebs are deserting them.
Some good news, then.
I am sure I can dredge someone up.
I’ve got my beedy eye on you Tony.
… beedy? Well, why not?
Monty, you terrible……
What …………… said that?
LMAO @ the piccy !!!
Can’t an MP be sacked?
No, unless they are impeached (our convicted of a serious offence) – which is not going to happen.
If they were “honourable members” they would resign, but there is no honour amongst thieves.
only if you assasinate him
Not if your Labour – you need to go through a 1000 committees and/or inquiries – first they have to meet to decide if they are going to drink bottled water or coffee – then they have to decide how to put together a committee that is going to bring in the least damaging result (remember Hutton?) – and after that it will take them ten years of meetings before they can come to a conclusion – and maybe not then!
Roll on the General Election, and we the plebs can…err….accelerate the decisionmaking process for them…
Quite right Nell, NuLiebour know a thing or two about whitewash (am I allowed to say ‘whitewash’?). After 12 years of spin, lies, deceit and covering up (not to mention crass incompetence, which is why these skills were necessary in the first place) they have raised these black arts to a whole new level – which is why I think some rejoicing may be in order just after 4 June. If I never see another dawn, it will have been worthwhile to see McBust and his pygmies get the best kicking political in generations. After that it should all be downhill to total oblivion. Utter, unalloyed joy.
The telegraph today said there had a previous incident where an MP was slung out and a by election was called
The problem with Morley’s seat is it is “safe” so even a monkey with a red rosette on would win
Or a pig come to that.
In 1992 Neil Hamilton won Tatton with a majority of 15,680. In 1997 he lost it to Martin Bell by 11,077. Hamilton only got £500 a question. What price Morely?
…but then, Neil Hamilton had The Graunilies against him.
This is the next stage in our struggle to ensure there are NO MORE REWARDS for ABJECT FAILURE. These parasites know that if they can limp on until the end of their term, they can stick two fingers up to the taxpayer and walk away with HUGELY disproportionate ‘entitlements’ which we (who else?) will be expected to pay for.
This is precisely why getting rid of this parasitic scum without further delay must be the utmost priority. They have RUINED this country; taken it to the cleaners for their own personal enrichment and lumbered us with generations of supertax and now they want to hang on in there and only ‘step down’ at the next election; thereby entitling themselves to HUGE sums in severance and resettlement allowances. It’s a f*cking obscenity the way they’ve re-written the rules to suit themselves. Don’t let these FILTHY crooks get away with it. INSIST THEY GO NOW!!!
Peter Mandleson now calling for the “hastily” condemended, to be “given a chance to justify their actions”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8073990.stm
Such a place already exists and is waiting/wanting to hear from them, Peter. It’s called a ‘Court of Law.’
Just a case of getting them all to turn up, I suppose?
Margot Moron seemed quite keen on the idea a few weeks ago, but strangely enough has changed her mind since!
What part of “go now you thieving bastard” don’t you understand ?
The resettlement allowance,the parachute payment and the pension part
If only Freddie Flintof was here to shoot him up the arse
I’m here in spirit, mate.
I’m ready to go. loaded with No. 4 Magnum…will that be enough?
How’s a Magnum icecream going to help here? Anyways, what flavour will it be? I’m a white chocolate Magnum type of guy… but alas the funds are sadly depleted and such luxuries are a pipe dream! I wonder if you can claim icecream on MP expenses?
fuck shooting straight, just wing him a couple of times ? one in each leg that will give him something to bastard limp for.
A dam good thrashing.
Empty his wallet of our money.
Then fucking hang him.
You can’t hang a cripple for goodness sake.
Hang first, then shoot later.
… Hi Larry Grayson – as you said (pre-death – unless a passing medium is channelling you – fuck – too complicated)… ‘Ooh, look at the muck in here…’ A motto for our Parliament of Thieves…
All of it
Do you want to earn a fiver,my pretty?
Whatever – I’ll do it for a quick fisting
What’s ‘fisting’?
Fucking painfull …. Apparently
Cherie……….fisting is when Tony shoves one in your ample little mouth and stops you talking for an evening.
any more f*cks of life you need to know?
Fisting: taking cash from a helpless victim, as in “A fistful of dollars”. Then sticking your hand in their bottom until you tickle their teeth.
“What part of “go now you thieving bastard” don’t you understand ?”
Go.
We make our piggyjacks do the Angela Eagle Mrs Fuenfbauche. Shove that Up yo’ Helly Aa.
It seems to be Lost In Translation.
Give im a fair trial,and then lynch the fat limping fucker
Give him a fair trial, why because he has a limp?
Fuck him let him swing.
Yeah, let them all swing.
Stepping down?
Just look what those troughers could get if they do:
£64,766 in salary
£20,077 pension contribution
£144,176 expenses (most recent annual average)
£64,766 resettlement grant
£40,799 winding up allowance.
And if they have a spouse, you can double it.
They are all guilty as far as I’m concerned.
Give me strength!
Ummm? Sorry??????? I’m not grasping this fact very well – please help me to understand.
What do they need a Resettlement Grant of £64,766 for? Don’t they already have two houses?
And what’s the Winding-up Allowance of approx. £40K for?? – other than to make the 60,000,000 people watching this parliamentary fiasco in anger, more angry?
ON THE 29TH OF MAY IN THE YEAR 2009
THE CITIZENS COURT,
ENGLAND,
C/O ORDER-ORDER.COM
WE, THE GOOD CITIZENS OF THE COURT, HAVE UNANIMOUSLY DECIDED TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING DECREE:
THE POLICE HAVE HEREBY BEEN GIVEN SEVEN DAYS TO ARREST AND CHARGE THE FRAUDSTER POLITICIANS.
IF THEY REFUSE TO DO THEIR JOB THE CITIZENS COURT WILL RECONVENE ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.
ALSO, THE COURT NOTES THAT THE THIEVING MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE STILL NOT STOOD DOWN.
IF THE GUILTY MPS DO NOT STAND DOWN, AND IF THE POLICE FAIL TO BEGIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, THEN HANGING APPLICATIONS WILL BE SANCTIONED WHEN THE COURT RECONVENES.
THE CITIZENS COURT IS A MERCIFUL COURT AND DOES NOT WISH TO APPLY SUCH HARSH JUSTICE.
BUT IF THE POLICE REFUSE TO DO THEIR JOB THEN WE, THE GOOD CITIZENS, WILL HAVE TO ENFORCE THE LAW OF THE LAND OURSELVES.
BY AUTHORISATION OF THE CITIZENS COURT, ENGLAND.
AND AGREED BY THE UNDERSIGNED
Calm down dear.
CITIZEN MICHAEL,
I AM CALM, THE SHIFT KEY ON MY KEYBOARD IS JAMMED.
trougher
No lynch the fat Hoon first, and then give him a fair trial!
When the Prosecution gets hold of a copy of the document from his Building Society confirming the end of the mortgage, (and possibly returning deeds), he will be toast.
There isn’t going to be a prosecution. They’ll be a police panel loaded with common purpse stooges.
No he won’t!! Not unless the Police or the HMRC decide to act against him. And they would act against us, if we had committed this crime. But where is the evidence they are going to act against him.
It’s not there. Gordon, Mandy and JackS are working overtime to make sure that none of their MP’s get prosecuted. If they can they are going to cover it all up.
Of course one might have expected the Daily Telegraph to expose everything in respect of Labour ( at least I did as a loyal reader of the DT for 30 years) . But of course it’s not the case is it???
The DT seems to have joined ranks with the BBC and I hope they both go the same way down the tubes.
I no longer watch the BBC and I no longer buy the DT.
Goodbye No cry- as my grand-daughter says.
Only the guilty & the found out voluntarily repay the Taxman ..
Any MP of whatever stripe who has so volunteered has admitted their guilt publicly & have demonstrated that they’re not fit persons to hold Public Office of any kind ..
They should be sacked from their respective Parties and banned from the HoC with immediate effect and Bye Elections called without delay ..
This in addition to any possible legal action which might (or might not) follow …
Morley’s resignation letter:
Warning: Content Contains Extremely Strong Bullshit
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5408582/MPs-expenses-Elliot-Morleys-statement-in-full.html
He’s resigning in part because of his health?? Same as Margaret Moran then.
Has Swine Flu become more widespread than they’re telling us?
He expressly thanks those who have “urged me not to step down” Not just swine flu then but delusion and madness is infecting the Labour Party!
Where is Gordon? Is he quite well??? Or is it HE who is infecting everyone with this peculiar strain of then ‘I am indispensible but must go anyway’ virus?
Of course, Gordon hasn’t gone yet!!!
He will soon. Either that or he’ll have some sort of a breakdown, poor chap.
What Brown needs is a very long rest from politics. Like the rest of his life, starting June 4th.
It’s for his own good (and ours).
Well that’s alright then, thanks Mr Ness!!
Is it me?
Where the fuckety-fuck are the Old Bill in all this?
Why no arrests?
Most of us are busy cleaning our Suburus, some are kicking the fuck out of some honky tax-payers and I’m watering the geraniums in the window box. Over.
FilthYou again…Get your ass moving and arrest at least ONE MP will you..!Then get back to your geraniums like a good thing…
We don’t get involved in politics mate
You mean, you don’t get involved in politics unless you are told to, a la Damian Green.
Whatever the chief super grand wizard orders us
Do be quiet.
Because the plods with the most stripes are basically bullies, but the paradox in the psychology of a bully is that he defers to those he perceives as more powerful than himself.
grobdj
I am sure those of us on here that have experience of enforcing the law are just as upset that the rule of law seems to being flouted and that arrests are not being made.
The normal methods of arrest are “On suspicion” under S 2 Criminal Law Act hey are not being adhered to here. Arrest, bail, investigate, interview, charge or bail for authority to charge is the normal way of doing things.
Here it seems to be Obtain an understanding of parliamentary procedure, perhaps take a statement if permitted to do so, apply for permission / warrant to obtain evidence, that warrant restricted to certain areas that are already known about, arrange for an interview, possibly at the home address or office (No 10 with our Bliar), then submit for decision to discontinue as not in the public interest…..seems to be the way the police are handling this one to 646 cases.
That is the underlying scandal that is occuring. That these MP’s are NOT being treated the same in ANY way shape or form.
Commissioner hold your head in shame. What’s up.. you have the top job…. want to keep it for a couple of years, is that it?
Jail for shoplifters nicking a few quid
No jail for corrupt bankers nicking millions
Only a lawyer could square that circle
I rest my case
There should be a completely new government in long before the statute of limitations expires on these crimes.
But call me cynical, I doubt that that will mean very much.
Cheer up! There’s no time limit to run out on criminal cases; only civil.
Plus once we’ve ousted these shits and withdrawn from the EU and the UN, we can re-introduce hanging for treason (only abolished in the late 1990s for some unaccountable reason).
Just waiting for Gordon to give us the go.
Mens rea?
Don’t mind if I do.
I’ll fight to clear my good name,from my retirement complex in laos.

Why don;t husbands and wives have the same surname by law ?
Make it easier to identify the troughers and benefit thieves.
I, for one, suspect married couples with different surnames are guilty of fraud.
As such, they ought to be taxed at accelerated rates.
The recent relevations tend to support my views.
Balls/Cooper
Kirkbride/McKay
Blears
Brown
Add ypur own trougher names below:
Smith + Timney
I would like to know exactly how much Balls and Cooper each, in each of the last five years. clawed back for Office Expenses, Travel Expenses, ACA Expenses and Wages . I haven’t seen a breakdown and total figure for those combined expenses – But I will bet it beggars belief!!!!!!!!!!
And then I want a detailed breakdown of what they do for it.
Because at this point in time I can’t think that they are of even a scintilla of use to the British public.

Since there is a positive fiscal disadvantage to marriage these days, perhaps the separate names allow claiming of extra benefits of being single. It also allows the use of aliases for a host of other purposes.

Can someone just remind me of exactly the specification of Jacqui’s box room in her sister’s house in Peckham.Did she have a kharzi or maybe a bath for her big fat arse or did she share the kharzi with her sister’s family.
Main fucking residence I am being kidded!!!
Why aint she been nicked?
Her and Delboy Trotter have so much in common they are both chancers.
Who in their right mind would allow this claim of MAIN residence to continue?
Home Secretary?, Chief Swindler is a better title.
Unseat her and the whole stinking McTwat cabinet will collapse,especially with her excess weight.
Don’t forget she is nolonger five bellies she is now SIX BELLIES.
Smith’s arse is so big,she needs to claim for a special loo seat,widened and then welded together – she even gets her own sewer.
Please don’t pour water on a drowning woman. Smith is already having to send her old man out undercover to buy porn videos (on expenses) in an effort to breath new life into their clapped-out marriage. Give the fat, useless cow a break, eh?
Morely’s face looks like a Car Crash as well poor chap…
Did Gordon Brown throw a Nokia at him or something ?
I’ve done the right thing. It was a genuine mistake made in good faith. It was down to sloppy accounting. It was all within the rules. It was approved by the Fees Office. I never noticed my mortgage had ended. I love the taxpayers teat……

Hah! The council and its officers could do with the same sort of culling as is in progress at Westminster. He has no idea or he’s politically blind.
his wallet does the seeing for both of them
Hmmmm, he must know Quisling Davies.
So where is Gordon Brown’s NATIONAL PLAN to illuminate Britain and the World
Due out today…
Is he dead ?
Maybe Brown and the cabinet have committed mass suicide but haven’t been found yet.
Let’s leave ‘em for a couple of weeks then take a peek.
Lol
And the Scottish Labour Mafia led by Dirty Tricks brown, Thug Chief Unreceipted Whip Brown and the Great Fraud Gorbals seem to have gone quiet..
Do you think someone told them that when they play the “Sectarian/Scottish Catholic Race” Card and “Working Class” Card that they lose thousands more votes in the rest of the country ??!!
the smell won’t be any different to a normal cabinet meeting – full of utter shits.
I’ve seen more life in a sick note!
He might as well be dead. I have seen more life in my great great great grandmother born 1805, died about 1865.
Come on Gordon…where the f*ck are you?
Brown got a bit tongue tied on that one.. he meant “Illuminati”
I wonder if the guy actually has had a nervous collapse – bit like Stalin when the Germans invaded.
He was dragged out of the bunker by Mandy to look at a Vauxhall and a Mini to celebrate the triumph of scrappage scheme.
“Come on Gordy, come and look at the vroom vrooms, it’ll be fun, no you can’t bring snuggles blanket”.
A “Government Scrappage Scheme” would be of FAR more use! Why won’t the bloody Queen step in????

Have you been dropping E’s again Charles.
Is he gay as well?
He Isnt, but apparently his boyfriend is .
It looks like the political class are trying to make the euro elections invisible? Proof positive that they hope they can scrape back in on a low turnout using just their core voter base, if enough people are too fucking lazy to vote then the big three will cruise it.
The political classes are hoping and praying for a very low turnout, the labour party need it for their survival as a political party so lets just hope the turnout is high and the thieves, whores and pimps of westminster get the kicking they deserve eh?
Its no good just moaning and whinging, we all need to vote to make a point to these parasites, dont take us for granted because we can and will take you down in the only way we can, at the ballot box!
Or we could just shoot them lying face down in a trench.
Did you know that Eliot Morely is actually an anagram of
Oil Remotely………………. so now you have it…. he was greasing his palm from a distance…. he had no intention of getting his hands grubby with the stench of dirty money. Oh no his greasing of the money tree was always remotely…….
OIl Remotely and have a defence at the trial.
What about Nadine Dorries………. Inane Disorder……… works for me!!!!!
And me!!!
Catosays = Say a Scot…………………… you ARE Gordon Brown and I claim my 5 poooonds.
Is it pure chance that he’s the MP for sHunthorpe??
All he needed to do was to take out another 200k mortgage, stick the cash in a high interest account and claim the interest legitimately.
He’d be quids in, we’d be screwed as usual and he wouldn’t even have made the front page.
We need means testing if mortgage interest is going to be paid, it’s good enough for your granny when it’s time to pack her off to the home.
you forgot shooting
FAT TROUGHER
More bloody smokescreens!
Of course the oaf should be out on his ear and he should also be before a magistrate, but the worse thing is the divergence from the bigger picture.
We are tossed a few non-entities (in political terms) whilst the same or worse is going on right at the top.
How can those who live in grace and favour homes also claim for another home (Brown, Darling for a start) how is it that the Telegraph can lay off these people and the bastards Balls & Cooper?
It is an outrage.
Hear Hear. Why aren’t any of the cabinet resigning due to ‘ill health’ and the pressure of being caught defrauding the taxpayer?
Channel 4 News with John Snow asked the question why none of the Cabinet Hoon/Darling/Purnell/Straw/Blears et al were being investigated.
About bloody time too.
These pigs are getting an easy ride. The Morans & Morleys are expendable if it keeps the spotlight off the men that can bring down Brown
AND …. NEXT?
channel 4 news tonight stated that 52 labour Mp,s have applied to enter the house of lords !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All New Labour MPs want just two things
1) A PALACE TO LIVE IN like Blair and Mandelson already have
2) To LIVE LIKE LORDS WITH PRIVILEGES like Mandelson already does
Follow the Leaders it’s called
Of course any idea of ideals, principles or democracy went out the window YEARS AGO with New Labour
What an utter condemndation of these frauds…
Follow the Leader ?
Used to be called “Find the Lady” (in Mandy;s case)
Or Hunt the C*nt .. when other ladies were involved.
Talking of hoons, listen to Lord Mandy reminding Nils Blythe to address him by his title. What an utter arse – having been thrown out of the government twice for being caught lying, he still has the front to demand to be addressed as “Lord”. Some fucking socialist – his grandfather must be turning in his grave.

“Lord Mandelson to you…”
Who does the slimy fuckpig think he is? Does he want a scrap or what?
I fear no peer.
That’ll be £5000 per person.
That is because they are socialists!
Another 298 applications are in the post, I suppose.
If ever an example were better needed to prove the case for an elected House of Lords, that must be about it!
Public service? Self sacrifice?? Self Service at Public expense, more’s the like!!
Are we to assume that defrauding UK taxpayers and the public purse, is now the ‘politically correct’ qualification required for admittance to the Upper House?
WHERE IS GORDON ?
WHERE IS WALLY ?
SPOT THE SNOT.
It’s very strange. We’re here shouting our collective mouths off about the rights and wrongs of the cat’s arsehole but there’s nothing happening out there in the streets. Everyone where I live is jumping up and down with rage but nothing’s happening.
In almost any other country, there would have been riots and executions. WTF is going on?
Going by what has happened in the past, this is the Brit way of revolting.
There will be a catalyst event – something that acts like a hidden signal that everyone has been waiting for – and then: an irresistable tideflood of reaction.
Can’t disagree with that. It’ll be some little event that just kicks off.
Let’s hope PC Filth understands that sacrificing a couple more demonstrators might just be that catalyst.
It’s the British way – phlegmatic. Or, in some cases, downright apathetic. But the public’s mood is rising. Some of them are nearly ready to fold their arms and frown at their MP. The results when a trougher does face the plebs is usually Plebs 1, trougher 0. Patience, my friend, will bring results.
I am ready and waiting for the call to action,mate – name it and I will be in Parliament Sq (disguised as a Tamil….).
No one’s going to shift from the telly and go rioting while X Factors’ on yer daftie.
There’s fuck all on on Tuesdays – I can do Tuesday – I’d rather get tasered in the bollocks than watch Corrie mind.
Or I could just some cans in …
I think it does need some sort of public demonstration. There’s no focal point at the moment though.
Its very hard to tell where it is all going – the public mood is very dark.
We’re enraged,so we’re going to give that Susan Boyle a good kicking
I think for the first time for a long time the politicians can no longer take the voter for granted. A lot of old allegiances count for jackshit now. The turnout on 4th June will be interesting (I think it will be high) and the results even more so.
Sorry to desert my post, sir. Friday night is vindaloo night here at the station. Yus, I think it will proceed to kick off, in a southerly direction, at the drop of a chewing gum wrapper or a jammed coin-slot in an automated car-wash, sir. Butterfly effect? Chaos theory? Call it what you will but the Brixton riots started when someone skidded on a tomato that had inadvertently rolled off a fruit-wallah’s stall and on to the pavement. Fuck me. Double-bubble all round. Over.
Don’t forget one thing my friends
All these New Labour MPs wanting to become Peers – and LIVE LIKE LORDS (!!!)
This would also give them PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE AS MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS and make it more difficult to prosecute them
They know how to use the “rules” – so watch for this one as well…
And they must be getting worried of prosecution by all accounts…
Well said Bob. Can you fix it for me?
Laugh?
These fucking hoons don’t understand – they haven’t got it yet.
The more they feed us with sacrificial victims the more we want
Will his constituency be renamed “Shorpe” now he is leaving it?
Bill Cash must surely be next out of the door ?
If Julie Kirkbride cannot survive, what hope is there for him ?
No fucking chance.
He will be out before he knows it and the funny thing is – he will not understand why.
Fucking thick twat – you can see written all over his fuckugly face.
And yet it’s sad, because he’s one of the better MPs…well he was.
Well maybe he was Cato – but the Conservatives have been more honorable in getting rid of those who erred. He will go because Cameron will make sure of it.
What is Gordon doing about his people ???? Only Morley and Moran have gone – both minor.
Both have resigned saying it was for their health and also saying that their constituency parties asked them to stay!!!!!!!!!
Labour is like a rotten apple that tries to look good on the outside but is being eaten by maggots from within.
I agree
But what were these “Tory Grandees” thinking when they frauded the taxpayer
That they could get away with it and just “pay it back” ??
It is astoundingly stupid and misguided behaviour which beggars belief
Cash is an interesting case. In general, he’s not been a big trougher, and his constituents have been behind his attempts to get something done about Stafford hospital and fighting a large scale proposed windfarm. Just because Cameron may not like some of Cash’s maverick positions in the past doesn’t mean he has carte blanche to sack him. He seems to stand his ground firmly as one who knows that there is nothing else to come out about him (unlike Kirkbride). He may well survive.
If he’s been a thief, he should fuck off out of Parliament like the rest of them and face his trial like a man.
It’s like watching the executions of a revolution. Just very British and bloodless.
Parliament’s got to cut out as much corruption as possible. An impossible task but at least they are doing something with the troughers. Arrests would be more preferable, but still…
Next!
Brown – his eyeball,his fucking “smile” and his grotty body – minus his feet and hands
Standing Down!? That would suffice if wasn’t for the fact that he will now probably earn at least a 100k and become a peer. What a joke, MP’s are supposed to serve their constituents and work in the interest of the nation. How these delusional scumbags think they even come close to achieving either of those duties is beyond me.
What our country deserves are pigs like this to do the right thing; resign, and for a general election to be called. The sooner this happens the better, because why should we suffer a recession with an unwanted government at the helm? People seem to forget one of the main benefits of not having fixed term parliaments is that when a government/PM becomes as unpopular as this they are ousted and a new one is formed.
Now former Labour MPs are putting the boot in. Not great news for them with June 4th looming.
New Labour ripping themselves to pieces, hopefully
This is further proof of what we have been saying for some time here on Guido’s Blog
That the New Labour Whips’ Office was and is a DEN OF THIEVES, staring with £ 18 000 of unreceipted expenses by the “Chief” not to speak of the miultiple theft of Dawn Jacuzzi Butler, etc,
And we now have proof from a former Labour MP that the New Labour Whips were trying to get all Labour MPs to claim even under false poretences…
I said right at the beginning of this scandal that the Fees Office was a crime scene. The Police seem to be taking action now albeit slow and late….
I now say that the Labour Whip’s Office is a CRIME SCENE..
And should be sealed of, their computers seized and investigated by the Police…
If this whole expenses saga makes you mad, it might be better NOT to read this. It really falls under the heading of “you couldn’t make it up”.
The Labour Whips Office was/is a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE BRITISH PEOPLE
I love the smell of roast pork in the mornings.
Roast Labour Pork = Electoral Meltdown
The curse of Jonah continues. Anyone got him a dinghy yet?
You could not fucking make this up could you?
A fucking WINDING UP allowance.
This is going to WIND UP the 60 million of us in this country – fucking hell,there will be blood on the streets this summer if they try giving this to these pieces of utter shit.
There will be a riot which will make the Trafalgar Sq Poll Tax riot look like a stamp collectors exhibition.
Call in the Tamil Tigers I say
Grey Gordon’s on his way OUT!
The polls all scream it and so does his hair.
Joy unconfined.
I promise to run naked along Downing St on the day the worst Prime Minister gets driven out of No.10 – he can’t even drive for god’s sake,although he has DRIVEN this country in to the ground.
Brown looks ill in that 2nd photo.
Surely if everybody said to Brown we intend to have a General Strike on a certain date he will be forced to call a General Election?
Good idea
But wait a couple more months
There is more of this scandal to play out
Than we will have a real revolution
Brown has half the fucking country on the payroll, and most of them do zit anyhow.
A general strike. How would that differ from a normal working day exactly?
After what he and his goons have done to the country, I want him to suffer some more yet. Downside is that public debt carries on rising, but now I’m angry enough to take a bit more pain so that the one-eyed idiot’s suffering is prolonged. That, and the longer he stays, the more comprehensive his party’s annihilation will be when we do get to have our say.
You’re a cruel and heartless bastard, Guido, for putting that pig’s snout on Morley’s face.
What have pigs done wrong to deserve such treatment?
Thought it was rather kind to Morley. Should have seen the sod before Guido photoshopped him.
PoliticalBetting have a poll out
If the Queen doesnt bother her arse to try and bring order, decency and morality back to this country’s parliament by ordering Brown to call a general election, there’s no point having her any more.
Might have been better phrased, old chap. The plebs are not supposed to “have” Her Majesty.
I’ve had her, phwoar.
Give me another 6 million you fucking plebs.
I can’t be arsed!
How do you know she has not been bothering? Where is Brown? In the Tower awaitingt the fate of Mel Gibson I hope.
Browns still in charge,pissing himself laughing
Sign the petition, give the locals some support.

The fat fuck needs to go NOW!
siegfried…………. 24 hours and the next JK instalment has NOT materialised…. are you sure of your sources??
I explained that the wig-arseclown made a deal with DC. Now confirmed by The Guardian.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/may/29/mps-expenses-julie-kirkbride-andrew-mackay-conservatives
…”The Guardian understands that the two men agreed that Cameron would protect Kirkbride – 49 next Friday – in exchange for MacKay agreeing to stand down. But things didn’t work out like that.”…
The first step was to force her out. Since that worked, no need to go further. For now. But, once again, a deal was made. DC promised her a “new” political career, she just needs to lay low for a few years.
Can’t give any details but let me just say this: she is truly hated by a lot of people because she is a real bitch. It goes back to the days when she paraded around in a sexy leather skirt to pick up an MP, and not just a backbencher.
So, they can wait till she tries to put herself on the map again.
Yes, M was involved, but so are a ton of other MPs. And yes, also a lot of kinky stuff…
That little necklace she wears – is that just sentiment or is it reminding people of what she knows?
It’s always a mistake, it’s always an error, they are always the victims. Their health has suffered, their families health has suffered. Oh sorry, I hadn’t realised that having thier hand in my pocket would be so traumatic for them.
Begin the trials.
That little girl who just won BGT by bursting out in tears, is an early learner. It didn’t work for Mrs Kirkbride though.
She was lucky. There’s sure to be an EU directive been drawn up in Brussels that involves banning crying.
It’s already being drafted this evening. Exploitation of nervous child labour or some such thing. The no win no fee lawyers are already knocking on her door to take on her case for hurt feelings.
Margaret Hodge is up shit creek as well.
I’ve just come.
(Shudders) Too much information…
Another pig who’s now bacon – the man who put Hunt in S-Hunt-HORPE
Why did you photo shop a fake snout on to Morely, Guido? His real snout is perfectly porcine.
so elliot morley , is the “Hunt” in sHunthorpe
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
This is more like it. At least someones got the right idea.
Good stuff
A rip-off is a rip-off whether it is perpetrated by a scally or a lord, we don’t need ‘terms of reference’ or ‘ground rules’ or ‘operating procedures’, these are just eloquent smokescreens. I’m sure Fred Goodwin also claims he made ‘honest mistakes’.
I honestly didn’t realise I broke the speed limit the other day
The silence from the legal profession is deafening.
What part of ‘wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred for the performance of a Members duties’ do they not understand
Fucking right it’s fraud. Why are these Hunts not in prison already?
If everyone in England, on a designated time and date all shouted “FUCK OFF BROWN” maybe just maybe he will get the message.
I woder if any of the troughers are stupid enough to opt for Jury trials.
Cameron calls for Morely to be prosecuted:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5408929/MPs-expenses-Phantom-mortgage-MPs-must-face-fraud-charges-says-David-Cameron.html
I am really disillusioned with the DT and their failure to deliver a balanced view of this latest expenses crisis.
(DT. I hope you are listening. I am one of the 1000′s of readers you are losing. Advertisers , which are your core funding, will follow us.)
I am, however, really pleased to see that local newspapers have filled the media gap and done a very decent job of investigating local MP’s/Lords abuses of the expenses scandal.
Manchester Evening News took Hazel Blears(LAB) to task for her excessive claims. Has DT reported this?
Redditch Standard asked why Kirkbride was put under the spotlight when they felt Jacqui(LAB) had committed a greater crime. Has DT reported this?
Wakefield Express and Pontefract & Castleford Express have highlighted Balls/Cooper(LAB) expenses. Cooper used her office expenses (taxpayers money) to print 30,000 calenders / advertising literature for Labour; bought a digital camera and other equipment. We have still to see a full breakdown of all their expenses over the last years. Their combned expenses are mega and indefensible. But because EdB is his closest ally Gordon is going to pull all the stops to protect Ed and Yvette. Has DT reported this?
Peter Hains(LAB) requested 2 mortgages at once . One for a £440,000 home bought with his 2nd wife and one for another home just 6 miles away. He told the Daily Mail on the 27/5/09 that he needed both in order to carry out his Parliamentary duties. Has DT reported this?
And finally, the Labour Lord Taylor of Burnley who has been shamed in the House of Lords.
This personal friend of Jack Straw has been suspended from the Labour Party and will most likely lose his “freedom of the borough” status with East Lancs .
And also Canatxx, who paid the said Lord Taylor £80,000 , has now said they have dispensed with his services.
Jck Straw/East Lancs/Canatxx ??? – All abandoning Lord Taylor according to his local press. Has DT reported this?
How RATS leave a sinking ship.
yeah Nell I’m not sure about DT any more either….
me too, even though I bought the DT as a souvenir when the first troughers were outed
wouldn’t give the Manchester Evening News too much credit though as they are owned by the Grauniad
Celia Barlow (LAB Hove) made the front page of my local today for ‘questionable claims’. The other big story was a kitten getting stuck in a u-bend. (It was rescued).
…presumably the headline was ‘PUSSY STUCK IN SEWER’.
And, on the other page, ‘Kitten rescued from sink.’
I think you are being abit hard on the DT here.
To use a skeet shooting analogy you only fire after someone has released the clay pigeons. Labour can twist and squirm, but there’s only so long they can put off shouting ‘PULL’. And when they do…..
Of course Kirkbride came under scrutiny as she is in the neighbouring constituency to the Best Ever Home Secretary.
Elliot Morley outside SHunthorpe Labour Club with the Labour stalwarts on national TV; funny how the Labour MP troughers look surreal amidst such surroundings, one gets the feeling that they come down from their higher trappings of office only when necessary to mix with the hoi-polloi back in the constituency!!
and they’re surrounded by a gang of ugly minders – who’s paying for them? NOT US I HOPE
Look at the MPs turning grey with worry….looks like a good year for us!!
I put the Hunt in SHunthorpe..the penis in Penistone…!!!
I put the c*nt in Sc*nthorpe as well!!
Imagine a scenario in a bank – you’re found falsely claiming and pocketing several thousand pounds, and given the sack. Except that you decide they have to leave you where you are until the next shareholders’ meeting in a year’s time. You do b*g*er all work, natch, and just pocket the salary. And spend your luxuriously long notice period cosying up to your company’s clients and opponents, to get another job at the end of it. And then by some crazy ‘rule’ – your firm has some very strange ones – BECAUSE they’ve left you lounging around the office or indeed absenting yourself if that’s what you prefer, you collect a massive payoff and a massive pension.
But of course it all doesn’t matter because as an MP you have sod-all to do anyway, and the money will be coughed up by some poor devils out of their taxes.
And WTF are the police doing?? Stephenson says they need another week to decide IF THEY’LL MAKE ANY INVESTIGATION AT ALL
yes, and it’s a general investigation NOT one whereby individual MPs are scrutinised and then tassered and shot!
And WTF are the police doing? Stephenson says it’ll take another week before they decide whether they’ll even investigate at all. Can someone please take that hoon’s silly glasses off and give him a kicking.
Do they need riots in the streets?
Plod is still figuring out to tie his shoe laces without upsetting any minority groups ( I include MPs in this as the numbers are falling rapidly)
Preseli MP Stephen Crabb ISN’T prepared to stand down. The Pembrokeshire Flipper showed some brass neck in a public meeting tonight where he said that he only made “a few hundred a month” from flipping his homes! He doesn’t get it does he?
spin spin spin elliot. whats happening to your suspension, will we be represented by an MP of the governing party or a disgraced independent? why not resign now rather than cling on for the bonus you get come a general election?? “For those who condemn me I would simply ask to be allowed the opportunity to present my case.” a fair comment so why not present your case…? why not do it weeks ago whilst the media were there waiting to hear it..? why not last night? no you would rather keep things within the labour party than face the electorate and then try to take the moral highground. you are a disgrace mr morely and you are a coward, either resign as this town’s mp now or meet with the electorate and explain yourself.
As for Ian “no-one in my constituency supports fox hunting” Cawsey, questions remain unanswered, explain yourself or you’re next……….
Eleanor Laing, a Conservative front bencher, has admitted that she did not pay capital gains tax when she made £1 million profit on a second home bought with the help of taxpayers’ money.

Why not contact Stephen Hughes MEP and ask him what his allowances are and how much he pays his American wife. Cindi Beaver (no joke) as a ‘researcher’ and who is also a Darlington Councillor and Cabinet member with ‘appropriate’ allowances (aka Cindi Hughes)?
Between them they are trousering around £4-500,000 per year.

Eurolinks event.
A day long Eurolinks event was held at Hotel Bannatyne in Darlington on 15th March. It was attended by pupils from the town’s Polam Hall School to help them with their French, Spanish and German GCSEs.
The girls worked alongside professional business consultants to complete a series of multi-lingual business tasks.
Presentations were given by Cyndi Beaver, representing Stephen Hughes MEP and Kasia Fiderkiewicz of the RLN. Events such as Eurolinks are an exciting and innovative way to demonstrate to our younger language learners how important these skills are in the business world.

Oh yes, Peter Barron…………………………………..
