          Just look at the name on the letter head, addressed to Mr John Lyon, much much more should be made of this, he is payed by you and me as taxpayers, £108,000 per year for a four day week.

          BUT, the gem is, he was interviewed for the job and given the position by……….MPs

          Looks like Gordon was a bit premature.

          Meanwhile Gordon Brown has made a speech expalining the consequences of him winning the fight to stay leader.

          unfuckingbelievable, innit?
          what brown’s rent-a-mob of rimmers failed to factor into their equation is that someone may well possess a vast intellect but someone with such an intellect can also be a terrible decision maker.
          like gordon brown.

          note to gordon brown and his thugs and his chief-rimmer, lady mandelson:
          YOU’VE BEEN RUMBLED YOU FUCKING C’UNTS!
          not a week after brown begged to be given another chance and after promising he would turn over a new leaf, he has decided to invite a proven liar and thief into his government.
          says it all about brown dunnit?
          what a fucking c’unt.
          unfit for office.
          gordon brown is the worst prime minister this country has ever had.
          the new labour war and occupation party should take note of the mood of the nation for the public are in a lynching mood.
          tread very carefully indeed.
          and by allowing such a c’unt to run the country, you are taking the piss out of us, the citizens.
          you, the oppressive beast must die for the greater good.
          ps. you motherfuckers better start shredding all the incriminating evidence that could end up with you dangling from the end of a rope.
          better prioritise all the war crime stuff, eh?

McBust’s transparency promise fell at the first hurdle when he initially blocked publication of the report. The leopard will never change its spots.

        Strange how he seems to take a lot of it, perhaps he is unselfishly taking as much as he can to help prevent others sinning.
        Malik is repugnant to me not because he is a muslim, but because he is a money grubbing career politician. In defending his expenses, he makes the point that he earned more money before he went into politics. That previous position was director of a fake charity.
        I’m sure he just as disgusting to decent Muslims too.

    Bang goes El Gordo’ s credibility once again. Did he ever have any? I was particularly impressed by the PC acceptance that Malik’s landlord was culturally more inclined to accept cash (without a receipt being issued). Perhaps HMRC can be culturally persuaded to investigate and see whether said landlord declared the full rent to them for tax purposes. Or maybe I’m forgetting some Sharia exception somewhere along the line…..like with marriage etc.

    • 69
      Shady Malarkey says:

      No. He set up a direct debit mandate first for a variable amount. The cash is for the additional amount due on the new and larger rented property. It was paid because “in the midst of an MP’s and a Minister’s busy life, [Malik] had not got round to making arrangements to increase his monthly direct debit to the level of his new rent “. Mawer is apparently unaware that Malik had to do nothing to disturb his “busy life”. All that was required was for the Landlord (the payee) to change the amount due under the direct debit mandate.

          Cash is indeed the Muslim way where possible, but there’s nothing in Islam (or even in any Islamic “tradition” as opposed to Islamic “religious” aspects) that prohibits or even chastises the act of giving/having receipts as far as I know.

          People are free to pay in cash if they want, but they still need to show a receipt, and the receipt aspect has no religious or tradition related argument against it that would stand up to any scrutiny.

          If he’s saying that it was a religious choice to not have a receipt, then he’s a lying hoon using religion as a false argument.

    Need to be careful with this one – I agree at face value it looks as bent as a nine bob note, but need to understand the facts.

    My understanding:

    Mawer says the rent paid was market rate (I assume that means the £620 per month).
    If that is the case and Malik was paying a further £200 per month for the downstairs, then surely he is then paying above market rate, and using taxpayers money to do it. Naughty.
    I’d expect to see the developers income on that property be around £820 per month. All declared for tax naturally.

    If Mawer meant the £620 per month was fair rent for the upstairs only, then Malik may have a partial case there.

    I say partial because why does he have 2 offices anyway?

    On top off all of this, if I were HMRC I’d want to go through the books of that property company.

    I agree it stinks in terms of people being paid in cash, no receipts etc etc. Malik really should have more sense and have it all above board, or is he merely showing contempt for the electorate?

        This is just a scam for Gordon to get his hands on the £24 billion in the pension pot anyway. He takes out the £24 bn, worth a full 5% vat cut for 1 year, adds this £24 billion + the £10 bn deficit to the public sector unfunded pensions. Now they are unfunded to the tune of £34bn but this doesn’t matter as ALL public sector pensions are unfunded and Off balance sheet.
        Gordon gets his clammy, bitten, fingers on a sweet wad of bribe money and taxpayers get a little bit of gain today, followed by a lot of pain later.

        royal Mail get nothing very much..a quick sort machine and around 10,000 redundancies. Post office loses another 1,000 mailwork offices and branches.
        People who post stuff will get a slightly worse, much more expensive service, but with lots of choice. Like being able to collect parcels from the secure under sink cupboard of a kebab shop, or a £2 delivery p/week charge for door to door or free if you collect your mail yourself from the depot.

        Yes, its win win all round. the union is threatening to pull the plug on labours finance but a measly £1 million when Gordon can get £24 billion is not a real threat. especially as Lord Mandelson will brandish about some new high office and some special funds for the CWU union leaders. “Have you thought about being Sir Billy Hayes of Mount Pleasant. Has a nice ring don’t you think?” and the funding is back in the bag.

      The serious investigations on Osborne might go something like this, from the Evening Standard: “A Commons official had approved the original arrangement, which was intended to be a stop-gap until a mortgage on the farmhouse had been sorted. Mr Osborne is not in the category of serial flipping occupied by figures such as Hazel Blears, who was accused of refurbishing different properties. He was advised to claim on his London home because the mortgage on it was paying for the true second home, the farmhouse. In 2003 he was allowed to change the loans without incurring penalty fees. He then claimed against the new farmhouse mortgage payments”.

      I’m no friend of the troughers, Luther, but this squib was left out overnight I think.

        TAT, Shady is correct. MPs should be of standard so that they don’t need an outside third party whether what they are doing is right or wrong. Thieves generally know when they are stealing, and these clowns are trying to kick their theft into the long grass of ‘following the rules’.

        Speaking as one who has worked for years with and for lawyers, accountants and auditors, in my experience they will do or say whatever it takes to earn their fee. Accountants tend to be more honest but lawyers are as bent as arseholes and they are the ones who make decisions as to who goes prosecuted.

        Troughers need to be accountable to the public who voted for them in the first instance. Yes, they should feel the full force of the law too, but if we leave it up to the politically conflicted prosecuting authorities and our increasingly useless police we will have a continuation of the situation that we have now i.e no prosecutions of troughers so far. That being said, I’m not convinced that MPs facing their constituency parties is sufficient – too much scope for party political stitch ups. We need MPs expenses fully published online and a recall system like they have in some of the US States, where provided a minimum number of electors in a area sign a petition, the MP can be recalled and a by election called.

    I wonder if Broon ever read Sir Philip Mawer’s report. I suspect he just noted its conclusion and then reappointed Malik. Any independent reasonable reader of Mawer’s report would quickly conclude that Malik is not suitable for government office, even if there is insufficient evidence (yet?) that a criminal offence has been committed. As far breach of the Ministerial Code of Conduct is concerned this is very much a balance of probabilities decision: I would definitely place my weights on the other side of the scales to Mawer.

      Anyone bothered to check if a mortgage exists on the property? Of course a UK mortgage (as opposed to that rare beast a Sharia mortgage) would indicate no early delivery of virgins to this particular buy to let tycoon. Bet the poor sodding landlord wishes the spotlight would shift sharpish now, what with the HMRC, Family Tax Credits man, EPC inspector and now the local Mullah all calling by for a chat. Oh and it looks like you can add the Planning Inspector (permission for change of use to office?), Rating Valuations Office and the Lender (you need permission to change residential mortgages to part-commercial).

    raisethegame says:

    On another stinky expenses matter – here’s the latest from Jim Devine:

    “LOTHIAN MP Jim Devine has been given the backing of his local constituency party as he battles to hold on to his job.
    Around 50 members of Mr Devine’s constituency party gave him their “unwavering support” at a meeting when he was grilled on his expenses claims.

    The MP has denied any wrongdoing over his expenses and has even asked police to investigate his Commons expenses in a bid to clear his name.

    Mr Devine faces his toughest week in politics as Labour’s “star chamber” – the National Executive Committee (NEC) – is to scrutinise his expenses next week and will determine whether he is fit to stand as a Labour MP for the Livingston seat at the next election.

    At the centre of the MP’s questionable claims is the rewiring of his one-bedroom London flat, for which he claimed £1,257 paid in cash to a bogus company.

    Explanations for Mr Devine’s claim of £2,326 for joinery work, which reportedly included 66 metres of shelving, have also been contradictory. Last week the MP told the Evening News the “industrial” shelving was installed in his London flat by his local pub landlord and longtime friend, Tony Moran, who travelled to London to do the work.

    The money for the shelving and other joinery work was claimed from Mr Devine’s Incidental Expenses Provision (IEP) for office costs, and not from his Additional Costs Allowance for second homes, which he said was cleared by the Commons’ fees office.

    But Mr Moran has reportedly since said that he did not fit any shelves at the MP’s flat and, according to sources at the constituency meeting, Mr Devine also told them that the shelves were not in his flat, but in the basement of a pub in Blackburn – thought to be Moran’s Turf Bar.

    He also allegedly told the meeting he was being evasive about the shelving because he was using them for local Labour Party campaign leaflets and boards, which he said was against House of Commons rules.

    Mr Moran has since been unavailable for comment despite several attempts to contact him.

    The MP also reportedly said he was willing to pay the money back for the shelves at the meeting and wants to carry out next week’s NEC meeting at his London home to prove the electrical work was actually carried out.

    “He has become an embarrassment,” said a senior Labour source. “It’s like dealing with a seven-year-old who makes up excuse after excuse.

    “He put some evidence forward regarding the allegations through a letter from Mr Moran saying he did do work for him. He asked for support from the constituency and he got it, but let’s see what the NEC does. They will want concrete proof of his claims. If he doesn’t provide it he’ll be out.”

    Mr Devine refused to comment on what he said at the constituency party meeting, but said that all the allegations were “outrageous”. He added:

    “No-one stood up and objected to what was being agreed and everyone had a say. I am innocent of all these allegations.” “……

      The primary meaning of ’shahid’ is ‘witness’.

      • 248

        But the usual meaning these days is “suicide bomber”. See any Palestinian (Hamas), Al Qaeda Propaganda for details.

      • 335
        Tory-bred Charles Hardwidge says:

        Mr Waad is evidently a well-intentioned, and somewhat knowledgeable, but fallacious apologist for Mohammadanism.

        The word ‘martyr’ in English is derived from Greek and also denotes “witness”. It can be found, and was so used, by the ancient Athenian lawyers for a legal witness, but also, adopted a figurative meaning as “witness of the truth (of a religion, doctrine, popular cause, etc)”, for which it was employed by Hellenic philosophers, cultists and eventually the Christians. ‘Shahid’ as an Arabic word possesses an etymology of parallel provenance and evolution.

        • 355
          Sir William Waad says:

          The difference is that a Christian can only be a martyr if somebody kills him or her for his or her faith. A suicide cannot be a Christian marytr. It is, though, possible in most interpretations to become a shahid by committing suicide or just by dying in honourable circumstances such as dying in battle, defending one’s home etc.

          What I wrote was true, as Charles concedes, not fallacious. I made no defence of Islam and am not an apologist for it. There is an evil infecting Islam which includes the hijacking of words such as ’shahid’ by vicious maniacs with beards.

        • 455
          Tory-bred Charles Hardwidge says:

          Mr Waad is delicate and slightly informed in his reply. However, the charge of fallacy I affirm, and by proof shall demonstrate it in the sequel (though I doubt at this hour you will ever read or respond to this progressive, online controversy again).

          All that you remarked concerning the qualifications of a Christian martyr is understood and never challenged by the present writer. I commend to the plainly curious and intellectually-striving Mr Waad to peruse the Koran (Patrick Sale’s 18th Century translation is excellent as it converts a motley of nonsensical rants, fables and injunctions into diverting English prose) or the most ancient and orthodox Moslem historians of the prophet, as Ibn Ishaq and al Tabari, to learn that the deadly fanaticism we dread began with the foundation of that religion.

    I did think it was illegal not to have a written tenancy agreement because of the Laws passed by this government?

    I’m sure that the blame for this does not fall on Mr Malik, and should by rights fall on the landlord, but how could Mr Malik lay himself open to possible unscrupulous exploitation by putting himself in this kind of position?

    In fact without a receipt or a document to prove the tenancy I’d say Mr Malik should pay the money back to HMG in “good faith”, and as a solitary lesson to all MP’s who claim without documentation because anyone in the street would be up before the HMR&C to explain possible money laundering

    Speaking as someone who was a small builder, funny stuff with money is part of the culture. Especially the ones with multiple properties. So much so, I never wanted to work for them & nor do a lot of tradesmen. Nothing is ever simple. It’s either “If I pay cash you forget VAT?” or you get paid a company cheque for work on a domestic house signed by someone you’ve never heard of.
    If you’re on the fiddle yourself I suppose trading on those terms is attractive but that leaves a dodgy set of books & serious problems if you don’t get paid or a cheque bounces. Lawyer would laugh his socks off if you suggested suing.

      There’s a Muslim couple down the road who bought an old listed cottage which was falling apart 3 years ago.

      The 1st builder agreed a sum of £40k to do it up (which was ridiculously low price as so much needed doing). They started work on the extension, but then refused to pay the original agreed price, so work stopped and the place was open to the elements for another 6 months… second set of builders start work, the same thing happens — house with half a roof for the whole of winter 2007/8. Finally work’s started again a few months ago, but we know the builder’s been swindled again as it’s once again deserted.

        Doesn’t sound much like anyone I’ve had anything to do with. The preferred properties are low end terraced & small retail. Sure they’re not a couple of Guardian subscribers with suntans? Toynbee spends a lot of time in Tuscany &, having done work for BBC lefties in the past, I’ve found that’s another lot who want to pad out insurance claims, miss out the VAT & get their hands on moody invoices.

        Somewhere else on the thread suspicion of expensive cars outside tatty little corner shops was mentioned. There’s a lovely little scam going on that’s worth illuminating.
        Buy a derelict corner shop. Do just enough work to get it running & install a village family from the old country upstairs. You go into these places occasionally & there’s a few shelves with tins & packets on, a half empty refrigerated display & some cigarettes behind a till. Usually you’re served by the woman or one of the kids none of whom speak much english.
        Watch one long enough & you start wondering how it pays its way. The odd customer goes in for a bottle of milk or a packet of fags. Maybe kids buy crisps or a can of drink. Often it does off sales but it’s worth checking the languages on those tins of lager. But if you’ve any experience of retailing the level of activity is way below what would be needed to pay a rent or let the shopkeeper eat.
        The answer is that it doesn’t. The books say it’s a thriving corner shop. Loads of stuff is being bought at the wholesalers. Lots of cash is coming through the till. It’s a vehicle to launder money. The family are paid nothing although the books may say different. The man is working elsewhere & may even be paying rent. After 2 or 3 years the whole business can be sold as a going concern to an unsuspecting punter. Or maybe a not so unsuspecting punter. The accounts show it’s a thriving enterprise but within a year the new proprietors are bankrupt leaving unpaid bills with the suppliers, the shop’s derelict & round we go again.

      Agree completely. Occasionally we might get the wrong bloke, but that’s a small price to pay for stopping what happens now – murderers are let out early and then kill again.

        clocks?’

        St. Peter answered, ‘Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone who has ever been on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move.’

        ‘Oh’, said the man. ‘Whose clock is that?’

        ‘That’s Mother Teresa’s’, replied St. Peter. ‘The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.’

        ‘Incredible’, said the man. ‘And whose clock is that one?’

        St. Peter responded, ‘That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abraham told
        only two lies in his entire life.’

        Where’s Gordon Brown’s clock?’ asked the man.

    If I said ,in his circumstances,and in his ancestral Country, that paying in cash without receipts was ‘Christian tradition’,I would be branded a racist,and subjected to the full force of Sharia Law..
