        What’s the betting that Darling knew about the missing plane before he announced he was paying money back – for the first day in nearly a month MPs expenses won’t be the lead story anywhere tonight.

        BBC: An Air France plane carrying 228 people from Brazil to France has gone missing over the Atlantic…. Flight AF 447 left Rio at 1900 local time (2200 GMT) on Sunday. It had 216 passengers and 12 crew on board, including three pilots.

        Sad news. RIP

          Darling has paid back £700, for service charges claimed on the first three months he was installed in Downing Street, welcome to the peanuts factory.

          All we need now is for David O’Cameron to pay back the £75,000 he used from his taxpayer funded mortgage to pay off the loan on his main home in London.

          Laundering your MP allowance through mortgages doesn’t wash, O’Cameron owes you money. Only dodgy millionaires like Cameron can pull the stunts he does to grab his maximum share of expenses, we’re not fooled.

          MB you are a CNUT.

          I don’t think you even believe the dribble that descends your chin has you defend the indefensible in the face of practically an entire nation who wants Gordon out.

          Which leads me to believe you are either:

          A Working for the BBC
          B Gordon Brown
          C Polly Toynbee
          D An utter CNUT
          E Arthur Scargill
          F An utter CNUT
          G Arthur Scargill

          I’m plumping for D and F and maybe B. D and F are a fucking dead cert though you utter cnut.

          Benjamin Brittan Fisherman’s Friend Peter Grimes (google that), David O’Cameron has claimed £140,000 in additional costs allowance. That’s a lot of interest payments, some of which went to pay for his main home which is in London. That, you daft hedgemonkey is well outside the spirit of the rules.

          You may go.

      Darling is just a thieving little Scottish spiv scumbag who must have his arse kicked back to Scotland. He is under the impression that all voters are stupid, but it seems to me that if that bastard had a bit more brain he could be a fucking cabbage, which is on a par with the rest of the hoons.

      Now the next thing that needs a good looking at is:

      Gordon’s cleaning bills – why he paid his brother & also seems to have claimed for the cleaning of Sarah’s flat (WHY?)

      Gordon’s flat – mortgage & expense claims around the flat/No 10/No 11 & anywhere else he’s been claiming for.

      Maybe Darling will be a little ‘givish’ once he’s been right royally shafted by old One Eye. Or perhaps a Blairite might like to spill the beans…….

      Pissed off voter says:

      These people who are repaying are simply doing so because they have been caught red-handed. The amounts – often a small part of the amount they have pilfered – that they repay relate to the last four years, many of them have been MPs for considerably longer than four years. Are we expected to believe that one day four years ago parliament quite suddenly went corrupt? Full accountability is required and that can only be achieved by prosecutions where possible and punitive fines together with immediate dismissal where prosecution is not possible, that’s how most of us would be dealt with.

      The Daily Telegraph was on McBride’s speeddial. Now Darling comes under pressure just when McDoom is considering a reshuffle and Balls is in poll position to get Darlings job.
      Now Darling, pushed out, would be dangerous on the backbenches, telling who done what and when to anybody who would listen. That would be really bad for McDoom.
      But, if Darling has his nadgers cut off ‘in the court of public opinion’ then his criticisms from the sidelines can be dismissed by the media as coming from the mouth of a crook – McDoom comes out a winner.

      I have to disagree with one thing. I don’t agree with the “Do not vote BNP under any circumstances” line.

      If you happen to be a racist neo-fascist then vote BNP. If you actually have more than one brain cell vote anyone else but the BNP or Labour. I may not agree with their policies but the BNP have just as much right to stand for election as the Communist party do. Remove that right and you create a very dangerous precedent, a system where anyone may have their right to be heard removed simply because the ruling party doesn’t agree with them. Remove that right and we really are no better than Zimbabwe, or even China or North Korea.

      But there’s no point in having a GE now – we’ll just get another 650 nob-ends. The system needs to be changed before the next GE. PR? GEs every 12-18 months? A quarter of seats to be elected on a yearly rotation basis? Those who have the power are not going to let go of it – it ain’t gonna change!

      Whilst Brown et al. try to ride this one out by surfing through Westminster on a tidal wave of bullshit, we can only wait for the inevitable – another 12 months of Brown, a May/June 2010 GE and no change to anything! Great!

      But not until he is dead. Cut him down early, then rip his bowels out while he is still alive (drawing). Then cut his head off and display it on a spike. Cut the remains into 4 (quartering) and distribute them widely around the country in gibbets to deter other politicians, and to provide a benefit to crows.

      HMRC operates a policy of ‘guilty until proved innocent’. They assume that you are on the fiddle unless you can prove (at your own considerable legal expense of course) that you aren’t.

      All I want to see is the same level of scrutiny directed at MPs.

      And of course the same standards of justice (balance of probabilities rather than beyond reasonable doubt) and hefty penalites that would apply to us.

    Restoring faith in politicians requires resignations. Nothing else comes near to ensuring the Office’s reputation is retained and only the incumbent is tainted. Listening to McTwat this morning on the Toady shows he really will do anything to obfuscate and thus relieve those around him from doing the right thing. He knows he would be fatally exposed by a resignation but without it his ratings will continue their free fall. “Delicious!” as some tosser on this blog used to say!

        We need a proper constitution.
        Equality for the English with the creation of an English parliament. We English have seen how some Scots have bled and abused us.
        We need a federal state based in Westminster with a third of the present MPs.
        The popularity of the SNP is an example of how successful an English parliament would be.
        Set, maybe, in Evesham or Warwick central to all parts of the country.
        No need for an enormous new building, I am sure there are historic places which could serve us.
        Let us English have a referendum on the subject now.
        The end of safe seats and maybe a limit to the amount of time that can be served without some break.
        PR with a 5% bar to representaion.
        Party lists would be OK as long as people had some chance of voting for those lists by primaries.

Crude over $100/barrel within a couple of months and gas approaching $4/gal again. America’s in for a summer of tumult.

    The United Kingdom is about six months behind the US and is following down the same path of unpayable budget deficits, money printing and de-facto nationalisation of what’s left of the private sector. Get your money out of US dollars and Sterling.

    Dear Sheeple

    I didn’t need to think twice about sending this letter because I know what arseholes you all are. I suspect that you are full to the back teeth each day with my cock shoved in your mouth, greedy as you are to have me. Oh, I know there’s been serious wrongdoing. But tough totty titty as they say – although I wouldn’t have a clue what that is.

    My erstwhile shill Herr Grubber Von Bollocks, will be in touch with you soon. You have something he wants. Geddit?!

    Finally, I, – KimGurning McStalinBrownStainovich, – would like to re-echo my own words : GET STUFFED and GET BACK TO WORK – IF YOU HAVE ANY!

      This sentiment amply demonstrates the communist nature of the reform agenda being pushed to prominence by the undoubted and appalling criminality of fraudulent MPs. Many of them will in any case be off the public scene forever within a year at most, and expenses will never again be abused, owing to how well publicised they will always be from now on. Of course we would all prefer instant resignations without having to pay yet more money to the fraudsters for the next twelve months plus pensions, but that would not be worth creating a back door to communism, which is what direct democracy would be equivalent to. Remember what MPs wages were supposed to be furthering in the first place? Democracy of course, so be careful of it.

    MPs convicted of criminal offences, which I believe at least some of them to be guilty of, should be jailed and forfeit their seats automatically. However I OPPOSE recall by popular initiative.
    You think its bad having to pay MPs a fortune in order to deradicalise the Labour ones?
    It’s not as costly as giving the plebs a DIRECT vote on all your property would be, through PLEBicites, popular initiative, recall and the like.
    These are all left wing objectives for direct popular ownership of property, naturally beloved of communists, but which no conservative in their right mind would countenance. Margaret Thatcher believed in the sovereignty of parliament and she was right. Had the plebs been given more power through recall etc, too few of her MPs with small majorities would have dared support her essential reforms.
    I can understand how in the justifiable fury at the fraud perpetrated by MPs, some Conservatives might be momentarily enticed by rash ideas, but if they actually are proper conservatives, they will reject them on reflection.

    Charles E Hardwidge says:

    It is contemptible to watch this crescendo of Schadenfreude in advance for a government that has lifted millions out of poverty and a Chancellor who saved the international banking system from implosion but I have learned to expect nothing better from such semi-educated peasants who could not distinguish a split infinitive from a split pea.

    No-one here has anything approaching my sophistication in mathematical modeling (macramé, chaos theory etc) that I learned while revolutionising the computer gaming industry. What do you fools not understand about the necessity for unlimited quantitative easing as a prophylactic against a deflationary spiral that could plunge us into stagnation for fifty years? What do you not understand about the necessity to quadruple public sector borrowing to sustain employment and prosperity in the borrogoves?

    To those who say that the Bank of England will not be able to sell its debt I say that the international banks are falling over themselves to earn the privilege, the privilege, of bolstering their balance sheets with Triple A rated debt whose status is guaranteed personally by the one Chancellor in history that has ever presided over ten years of uninterrupted growth. It appals me that you wretched little ignorami cannot simply be grateful.

    And to think that 40% of the country now want the G20 triumph to be wrecked – wrecked – by some untested novice with a plasticene face beneath a welder’s mask and a shadow Chancellor who leers between splayed fingers as he leaves behind a trail of slime that leads directly to the primordial pool. For do not doubt that behind his mock-heroic smile and salesman’s patter, Cameron has been stirring the caldron with finger of birth-strangled babe.

    No, no, I tell you, I am not that daemon swineherd in the twilit grotto! It was David Cameron’s fat face on that flabby fungous thing! Who says I am not the Dungeon Meister? He lived, but my boy died!…Shall a Hardwidge hold the land of a Cameron?…It’s voodoo, I tell you…that spotted snake…Curse you, Cameron, I’ll teach you to faint at what my family do!…‘Sblood, thou stinkard, I’ll learn ye how to gust…wolde ye swynke me thilke wys?…Magma Mater!

They have wrecked the economy and MUST GO NOW! Call an election, or does Brown not have the bottle? What do his Presbyterian beliefs tell him? If you have cocked up once or twice or more, hang in and keep on doing it and then let the Conservative in to clear up the mess.

      Frank, the media has gone into hyperdrive to divert the masses’ attention from the engineered hyperinflationary meltdown underway in US/UK. Excrement like Simon Cowell’s shows play foremost to women, gay men and infantilised adults generally. The greatest fear of ‘them’, the puppetmasters, is that the TV lobotomising will stop working, hence the hysterical coverage of women’s shows and sport for men. America will be the acid test, starting later this summer. If Obama and his stringpullers can sleepwalk the US into a de-facto communist state, with soaring gasoline prices meaning only the rich can travel and all outside-US travel is logged and restricted – just like the heyday of the USSR – then it’s all over for the copycat UK.

    It seems to me that the mortgage obtained by David Cameron attracted an interest component far exceeding the maximum claimable from the additional costs allowance. This would still have been the case if the mortgage had been for £75,000 less.

    If the foregoing is correct , Master Baiter should humbly apologise to his next Prime Minister especially as he further claims that only dodgy millionaires can pull mortgage stunts .I do not think that Tony Blair was a millionaire when he remortgaged a £30.000 property for ten times that amount.

    He was dodgy ,but not a millionaire– he became a millionaire only at the time of the cash for honours scandal when the labour party treasurer rushed on to the tv news to disclaim any knowledge of any cash flowing through the account in or out.

    When the blair/brown project came on the scene in what now seems like so long ago, I was gobsmacked how so easily people were conned, and since then I have watched and listened as one excuse after another was believed. Being born after the war I could never really believe how a nation like germany could be seduced into facism.
    After watching the public over these last 12 years, I understand now, There have been enough signs that politica were rotten, and to the core.
    I had an old boss tell me once. ” Retribution, it does come, if it’s due it does come, maybe not in the form you want it to, or the timescale, but it does come.
    For the british politic, here it is. Maybe it’s just me, but I get the feeling people are getting angrier, it is not lessening off at all, it is increasing.
    I doubt cameron has any answers, but he will have little leeway with the public, if he doesn’t do the business, he’s history. That’s as it should be, and as it should have been.
    I never wanted it this way, but I am pleased that what has caught them out, has caused them to be banged to rights, with no room at all. Maybe now it will get better. This corruption and contempt for Britains money, because it is contempt, runs right through our society. From allowing utilities to rip us off, councillors ripping us off and everyone else.
    Maybe if politics isn’t quite so lucrative, then intent and not gain will attract a better class of policitian. Lets hope so eh
