Is this McNulty’s First or Second Skip?

McNulty Skip

Not sure if Tony McNulty has put this skip on expenses, or are his mum and dad clearing his room and packing him off back to his first (or is it his second) marital home in Hammersmith?  This picture of the Kenton-West home we bought him was sent to Guido by a local Tory councillor.  Still no news on the police investigation…

        Look, it may not look like there’s much distance between his residence and the skip, but when you’re an MP it’s tough work and there’s late hours. I wonder if he claims travelling expenses to get to it.

      Who is more insane - you or Gordon? says:

      Gordoom is not insane,
      he is evil but not insane.

      He planned to destroy the UK, he will get his rewards from his EU/NWO masters just as Phoney has.

      That is not insane, that is what a self serving psuedo communist does.

      They were voted in 3 times, they are very clever, they even have you singing their PC self destruction tune for much of the time, as you have been conditioned by them to except your own destruction.

      What is moderate you now consider extreme in Labours destructive topsey turvey world of double speak and child indoctrination.

        SCORCHED EARTH POLITICS

        THE MARKET ORACLE Jun 02, 2009 – 02:18 AM By: Nadeem_Walayat
        http://marketoracle.co.uk/Article11034.html

        …………………“My most recent analysis (Labour Governments Bankrupt Scorched Earth UK Economy for the Conservative Government ) showed that the government is borrowing to spend a net deficit of more than £500 billion to generate growth of just £67 billion and concluded that:

        The Labour government’s primary objective now is to deliver David Cameron’s Conservative government a scorched earth economy whilst at the same time engineering a debt fueled economic bounce to maximise the number of seats the party will be able to muster in opposition, therefore current opinion polls and projections of seats at the next election grossly under-estimate the actual number of seats Labour will win”…………………..

      Scorched Earth says:

      Nothing to do with me. ;)

      I’ll bet this scene is being repeated in many locations though as the “Star Chamber” and “Scrutiny Board” of Labour and the Conservatives hurriedly try to get everyones “house” in order just in case those Telegraph disks are not yet finished and before they try to roll out their redacted and sanitised versions of the Expenses themselves.

      Imagine a poor MP getting a bollocking from a Whip.

      “No, you stay HERE!
      It’s in black and white and I don’t give a monkey’s about how far away it is from your bit on the side. You’re moving in there chummy, before the tabloids park themselves outside the other house and monster you and the Party.”

      • 17
        Dr Nuts says:

        Hmm?

        Curiousity puts – how many put their ‘bit on the side’ on expenses?

        • 24
          Scorched Earth says:

          Frankly I’m surprised there haven’t been a few uncovered already.

          No doubt there will have been many MP’s spouses scouring the expenses in the Telegraph with great interest. Just in case some of the more exotic items were news to them. “And who got THIS!”
          No wonder some MP’s have been looking so glum.

    They slipped this one by

    The Mail

    Malik to return

    A Labour minister who was forced to resign over his expenses will return to the Government in the reshuffle.

    Shahid Malik will be back on the Government payroll weeks after stepping down while Parliament’s sleaze watchdog investigated his living costs.

    Government sources said Mr Malik has been cleared of any wrongdoing but will repay £730 of taxpayers’ money which he blew on a massage chair.

    The former Justice minister will not fill his old job.

    No change here then, this whole leadership thing has distracted everyone and Brown has slipped his cronies back in.

      McBride to make a comeback then?
      Or, was it a case publicly out the front door – trod quietly back in the back door.

      Anyway – all he needs is a computer to e-commute – whatever the expression is for still being employed, not publicly and continue from home!

      Any news yet on Ruth Kelly? Is she back?
      I did like her. She at least had the gall to knife Brown between the ribs come the time it was appropriate!

        Saw a clip tonight on the late edition of Today in Parliament of questions being asked in the Lords about McBride today.

        Norman Lamont And then some other Tory Peer were trying to get straight answers about McBride`s conduct dating right back to the 90s and reports in yesterday`s press(?) that he`d been sacked as a civil servant by Gus O`Donnell.

        All most confusing – anyone fill in the details?

      How revolting – but how typical of the regime. Prince Mandelson was, after all, packed off to the EU for corruption, and then shuffled back again as Prince Regent, just waiting for the moment that Lear throws himself from a window – the curious word for which is “autodefenestration” – a word borrowed from the lexicon of New Labour’s proposed secret coroner’s courts.

        “autodefenstration” – the suicide equivalent of a drive by shooting, where the person drives by and throws themselves out of the car window.

      “The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.”

    Mental defectives like Brown will lie through their teeth to get what they want, Brown aint never gonna change EVER!
    Brown will cry and rage and lie and beg to stay in office BUT make no mistake folks Brown is writing the names of anyone who crosses him in his little black book, he will never forget and even now after all this he spends most of his time plotting revenge on his enemies, fuck running the country eh? Brown is focused alright, focused on punishing his percieved enemies and staying in power by any means.

      Aye, she’d be able to write several month’s worth of fauning articles about how great she was going to be and how you would now see the difference. You’ll now see the real socialism. That would then be followed by several month’s worth of articles about how she always said she was crap and she really ought to go for the good of the country. By that point her mental state would have degenerated to the point where she started encouraging people to vote Conservative.

      Look up her family history.

      Her grandfather, Arnold Toynbee, an Official in the British Foreign Office in both World wars said this:-
      “We are at present working discreetly but with all our might to wrest this mysterious political force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.”

      SS General Walter Schellenberg in his Gestapo Handbook for the invasion of Britain 1940, wrote this:-
      “Dr A.J. Toynbee, Professor at the University of London. Personally an obliging and skilful man.”

    1. Gordon Brown sees off rebels after private inquest

    and

    2. Is fascism on the march again?

    After last night’s pathetic efforts by a party that is a minority party in this country, I think the answer is obvious. They remain only to get what they can before a mandatory general election. This is entirely unacceptable but the public can do nothing about it. Our constitution is irrelevant. The only reasonable thing we can do is to not get caught up in their collective psychosis. My anger is at fever pitch…..

    And what did I say yesterday? Surprise, surprise, the Parliamentary Labour Party has bottled out of challenging the one-eyed Presbyterian son of the manse, just in order to preserve a few more months of their miserable existence (at our expense) as MPs. With an unelected Prime Minister and ZaNuLabour thugs terrorising those who oppose Brown, I am given to wondering if there is much difference (climate and distance apart) between the situation in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and here.

    TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

      Seriously, this poem makes me weep for our country.
      We have been ruined by the incompetent, small minded, self-seeking politicians who cannot or will not, ever consider for a single moment, that they could be wrong. They believe that the only way forward is to continue with their “project”, which is simply another name for cynical misrepresentation, lies, half-truths and clinging to power.
      George Orwell in 1984, has O’Brien describe the vision of the future as “a boot, stamping on a face, for ever”. Very prescient of him, all those years ago. The boot is now “the great clunking fist”.

Harrow is where Tony’s parents live.

    If Ms Patel can be dragged through court (possibly facing imprisonment and a £5k fine, which will do her infant son no end of good) why haven’t the police brought a test case against McNulty for exactly the same action but where the monetary benefit can be clearly shown, bringing it within the scope of the act?

    In the skip I can see a old radiator which suggests a new heating system has been installed. The old carpets are self explanatory. There are some old joinery fittings – a new kitchen perhaps?

They laid into him in no uncertain terms and tore him to shreds. These people were ordinary working people not activists representing groups. You should have seen Mcnasty’s face, if you could bear to look at him. He suddenly realised that he was in front of real people and TV cameras and that his policies and those of the government were being shown to be worthless.

    This is clear evidence of the success of the government’s campaign to create a billion new jobs for British workers in its cutting-edge, world-beating environmental industry. This is no ordinary skip, but a British skip in Sellafield yellow – all over the country millions of these skips are appearing to collect tonnes of worn out beige carpets and unwanted melamine and mdf self-assembly furniture from the homes of bewildered pensioners, to be recycled into attractive, interactive art installations in country lay-bys and clearings in the woods. The wheelie bins (made in Germany) are at the frontline of our municipal waste industry (motto: “you can’t beat our municipalities for waste”), employing hundreds of thousands of doughty British yeomen, answering to the name of Jerzy, (blue bins collected the first Tuesday after the last new moon in each calendar month, recycled magnox and cat litter only, fine for inappropriate use, greater of national GDP or £100). A year from now I can see many of our newly unemployed starting new careers in landfill sorting, getting valuable skills in dodging compactors and spotting recycling opportunities, plenty of outdoor exercise, and a strong stomach.

Have you ever heard them lay into a Labour politician like that? Never. The entire BBC, having recruited staff solely through the columns of the appalling Guardian, (I won’t call it a newspaper as it is unworthy of being dignified in that way). If you are not “on message” as they say, with approved Labour views and attitudes, you will not get a job there. As with all totalitarian regimes, Labour has infiltrated every branch of the media and the administration and corrupted it by turning it to its own uses.

    Q (Naughtie) – Did you speak to him [Purnell, I think,] on Thursday? A – “No I did not”. Nice and clear, black and white answer, but leaving open the probability that he had talked on other days. Again, no follow through.

Other parties need to forget about dislodging Brown as the labour party is welcome to him and will regret in the fullness of time their decision to keep him. Now is the time to push all the things which are going wrong with Labour’s policies particularly their stewardship of the economy. They are banking on economic policy to save them and refer to grass shoots etc coming forth amongst other indicators, what rubbish. In the news today but could easily quote 100’s of examples C & G, LDV ask the people who work for them about their policies? Moreover, why are banks employees more deserving than those citizens who work for LDV and even with public money by the truck load being piled into the banks jobs are going by the skipful.

    Jack Straw on Question Time pointed to Brown’s grasp of economic principles. Why does the BBC never interrogate the facts on this point?

    The guy is an economic clown.

    12 years of Labour has given everyone (including the fucking BBC):

    * Unemplyment
    UP

    * FTSE100
    DOWN

    * National Debt
    MASSIVELY UP

    * S&P’s credit rating
    ABOUT TO BE DOWNGRADED

    * Gold reserves
    SOLD OFF AT 20-YEAR PRICE NADIR

    * Entrepreneurship
    CGT doubled as UK enters massive recession

    et cetera ad nauseam

      Jeremy Bowen says:

      Agreed and between Blair, Brown and Mandelson and their creepy supporters, they have corrupted the entire political system in the UK. To spin actually means rotate, but in their hands in means distorting the truth to such an extent that it is simply lying. Like Goebbels, the nazi propagandist, they know that by repeating something again and again, it will be believed. So they keep uttering lies and platitudes, followed over and over again, by the phrase “and it’s the right thing to do”. They all say it from Brown down to the lowliest spokesman. And who believes that Brown, with his Presbyterian morals, (has he ever explained what they are, and why in some way, they are better than Anglican, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim etc morals) did not know anything at all about the lies, smears and character assassinations planned and carried out from his office

        Brown is NOT a proper presbyterian. A proper presbyterian believes in honesty, in straight financial dealing, in personal reliance and PRIVATE charity. A true presbyterian worships God, not the state. Gordon Brown fulfills none of these criteria, and more than he fulfills the criteria of an economic genius. His claims in that direction are just more of the lies, along with his intellectual pretensions. Sure he is of above average intellect, but no more so than the vast majority of MPs.
        Why are the police not investigating his expenses fraud?

    Never ever forget that the economic disaster in this country can be traced back to Gordon Brown deciding that the best way to expand growth was to a
    accelerate the housing boom. It had worked for Clinton in America.

    When the implications of that decision are fully understood every thing falls into place.

    Brown is a patter merchant who thinks that if he obfuscates he can make the rest of us believe that the situation is complex.

      Sylvia's Mother says:

      In complete agreement with your point, Brown not only instigated through policy much of the problems we find ourselves in today, but then has the temerity to blame others. Watch out people with the likes of Brown, Mandelson and heaven help us now Kinnock sliding in this is going to get far far worse.

    Dear All

    Is this the new Met Police squad car to collect evidence?

    I hope that skip has a seatbelt so that the Met conforms to the Construction and Use Regulations 1974.

    I would hate to have Tony McNulty fall out and bang his head before the Police had a chance to ‘torture’ him.

    Perhaps he could get held down and shot in the head by the same guy who did Jean Charles de Menezes. That Shooter has got form for getting away with it; they could write it up as an attempted escape.

    Yours sincerely

    Send the pikey’s round. If you don’t know any. All you have to do is fill up your own skip, and one will arrive within an hour or two, free of charge.

    Then get them to tell you what if anything of real value has been thrown out. You can learn many things by looking through what certain people discard, and why.

    The answer to MP’s second homes is simple. They should all be selected and payed for by local party funds, and therefore be accountable to their own electorate. The local party could if they wished choose to house their MP in a palace or a slum. It would be up to them to make a personal arrangement with their perspective or sitting MP, and therefore have nothing to do with the general tax payer.

    This of course is ACCOUNTABLE democracy in action. Which is why it will not happen.

    The STATE wishes to control/bribe our MP’s. It desperately requires the people to have no control, or as little control as possible over them.

    Of course this system would also require a limit on constituency contributions to say no more then £1,000 per person per year.

    For you can be absolutely certain that IF the people believed they actually controlled the actions and standards of living of their own MP. Rather then the excuse for representative democracy we currently have. There would be NO shortage of ordinary people wishing to contribute.

    The absolute LAST possible thing we need at this or any other time, is STATE financed Political parties, or indeed politicians.

    However one way or another, that is EXACTLY what we do in fact have, and have long since had.

    Labour was formed by primarily Christians socialists, was taken over by Marxists who were subsequently forced to conceal themselves by Kinnock the Pillock, allowing them to become electable. Labour abandoned God and followed mammon under the son of the manse and holy Tony and the result is unfolding before us.

    A main residence , neglected and forlorn !

    More pictures and stories about the main residence of Mr and Mrs Expenses, Ann and Alan Keen the MP’s for Hounslow East and West are circulating at

    “I’m very experienced at looking at people’s front pathways in Brentford. One soon notices the care some people give to their front gardens…and what a treat it is to see them!.

    Some front doors and doorstep areas are also a treat to observe..and sometimes I return home and start polishing up my own.

    However, during the current furore over MP’s expenses…it is opportune to note that Mrs Ann Keen’s private Brentford residence now shows signs of neglect..perhaps abandonment.

    Locals often say she is never there..she’s away at some farm in Wales..or more likely dealing with Ministrial duties around the country. Labour activists, especially those writing letters to the Local Press..seem oblivious to the fact that the Lady hardly lives here these days..and maybe losing interest. I reckon the house hasn’t been occupied by her for over 6 months! Maybe the Council should
    take it over!

    Our MP’s derelict home

    Standing on the pavement in Lateward Road with my camera aimed over the garage doors..one can glean that the house is boarded up and the building work has been aborted.

    Who is paying for all this work? Does the lolly come out of Public Funds. Which property is the main home?
    Some Brentfordians are livid. No wonder Mrs Keen didn’t turn up at the Brentford Village Fayre today…just 100 metres from her backyard!
