Wencher Drencher Dripping with Sarcasm

The “Romsey Redhead”, Sandra Gidley MP claimed £50,000 more in expenses than her neighbouring Hampshire MP.  For some reason she seems to resent the new rules on making full declarations about payments in kind, judging by the sarky piece on her blog about her latest declaration:

gidleyI was asked to spend some time on the “wencher drencher” for charity. The event – on 5th July – was organised by the Rotary Club of Romsey Test and total work time was approximately 25 minutes. This consisted of 5 minutes to get changed. 15 minutes sitting on the device, waiting for people to hit a target and then getting tipped into water a number of times and 10 minutes drying off and getting changed afterwards. A gentleman presented me with a punnet of strawberries (value £1.50) for my efforts but I am afraid it would have seemed rather rude to ask his full name and address so I didn’t.

Pictures would have been appreciated.

      What is the expression ‘work time’ meant to signify. As an MP she is being paid to look after her constituents and surely this includes assisting in fund raising efforts for local charities. Or perhaps she saw it as another way to line her pockets at public expense. The Hoon.

      Exactly. The police constables shouldn’t accept payment in kind and neither should MPs. They are supposed to be in it as a gesture of public service or so I thought?

      i nearly crashed the car yesterday when the bbc reporter in an article about the 7th july bombing commemoration referred to the nazi muslim terrorists as “islamic militants”.

      this was the BBC World Service so all the foreigners who listen to this must think we are completely fucking mad if we think that bombing murderers are jolly militants. i know derek hatton was a hoon but his militancy didn’t lead to bombing of tubes and a bus.

      they really need to realise whose side they are on – i.e the licence payers ergo the british population and not some dispationate removed aliens.

        Y Frontz says:

        Oh yes, I forgot, the BBC just cannot bring itself to use the words killed and murdered” when reporting murders by the fanatics. They describe murders as “executions”. An execution is an action taken by a state as a punishment for a crime, such as murder, following a trial. Some nazis were executed after trial at Nuremberg. They will not report that islamic fanatics murdered someone. When islamics hang someone from a crane in the centre of a football field, with the public, including children watching, without there having been a fair trial, that is obscene murder, not execution. The BBC are terrified of the muslim council of Britain and its spokesman, Aggerwally or whatever the liar and dissembler’s name is.
        The BBC is one of the main drivers in converting this once great country into an islamic, theocratic dictatorship. The politicians, concerned only with being re-elected, do F all.

      Harriett harman definitely nudged Dimbleby during the programme last week’s ?time. Dimbleby definitely reacted to her nudge. Are the BBC going to give an explanation for his behaviour and her behaviour? She displayed the characteristics
      of arrogance and superiority, as if she thought she was far ‘abin’ the rest of the team, and that they and the audience were lucky to be graced by her presence. Mr. dimbleby, like most of the interviewers on BBC are too careful, too controlled and controlling. I blame Alistair Campbell.

    Ken Livingstone racked up huge bills for the taxpayer at a string of lavish restaurants while mayor of London, his official credit card bills reveal.
    Details obtained by the Daily Mail show that over four years he ran up total expenditure of more than £16,000.
    The revelations are a blow to the Labour politician’s carefully cultivated image as a ‘man of the people’.

      I don’t much like Ken but I have no trouble believing he’d have, on average, as mayor of London, one work-related dinner appointment a week.

    In the phrase “GINGER MINGER”, how is minger pronounced?

    • 39
      chocolotis says:

      as in ring stinger

      • 110

        “Minger” is pronounced ming-er as in ring. It’s derived from the adjective “minging” which is used in urban parlance such as this:

        “Lolz blood, dat ho is mingin’, like innit”

        to describe someone who has a face like dogs scrotum even after 8 pints.

        “Ginger Minge” however ir pronounced like the word “fringe” and has a different meaning to “minger”. It’s is the sort of thing the late Mollie Sudgen, while playing her character Mrs Slocombe in the 70′s sitcom “Are You Being Served?”, used to frequent with much innuendo.

      Splendid story. The Labour must be caught in a dilemma with this one. One one hand spiking an embarrassing enquiry announcement with a politically motivated police investigation is top-drawer Labour tactics and exactly the sort of thing we have come to expect.

      On the other hand perhaps there is some merit in a police investigation but the Directors are using top quality Labour-like smear tactics to suggest that there is really nothing to the police angle and they (Labour) are only afraid of the truth and the effect on another few marginal seats.

      It’s a question of who do you distrust most.

      Keeping people angry is difficult. People feel angriest when a member/members of their family have been damaged/killed. In that situation their own lives don’t feel as if they matter any more, so they will take risks they otherwise wouldn’t. As it is, people, despite the difficulties, are not hurting enough to take drastic measures. We live in a ‘meringue’, ‘never had it so good’ society. Too much food, too many consumer items, too much choice (and none), too much stress, too much government, rules, news intrusion, tv, etc etc etc. Why should people worry about politics or how the country is being run when things are so relatively good. The government rely on the complacency of the people.

    So charity work is now WORK then, says:

    So she agrees to take part in a charity event and even get a soaking for her efforts, very laudable indeed.

    Why the does she write “total work time was approximately 25 minutes”?

    I presume she was still drawing her MP’s salary and its associated expenses that day, or did she send one day’s pay inc expenses back to the HOC pay office?

      Total work time was of course zero. Whining of this kind by second-rate MPs deserves to be met by increased votes for their opponents at the next election. THis one looks like an easy one for the Tories, just as long as their candidate hasn’t any metaphorical skeletons in the proverbial cupboard.

    A £1.50 punnet of strawberries as refreshment after attending a charity event in her constituency and you think she should declare it as a second income.

    Have you been on the booze or drugs again?

    It’s turning you bonkers, isn’t it.

      Porky Pies MP says:

      Muppet! The irony escapes you. It’s not about the strawberries it’s about her sarcasm associated with receiving the gift. I sometime feel sorry for Guido he expects all posters to have at least limited common sense.

    The day after labour, ie Gordon Brown, got low paid workers to fund the 20p tax band, their other policies allow people who don’t want to work,
    to benefit from the following:-

    Gipsies given £60 to listen to advice on health and schools.

    But critics said that public money should not be used to ‘bribe’ travellers into looking after their own health and children.
    The talks were held in a meeting room at Epsom Downs Racecourse which Surrey County Council paid £2,500 to hire for the day.
    Food and drink for each person who attended the conference cost £67, taking the overall cost of the event to tens of thousands of pounds.
    Participants were given a coffee and Danish pastry on arrival, followed by more coffee and shortbread biscuits later on in the morning.
    At lunch they were served a large buffet, followed by mid-afternoon coffee and strawberry scones. Bottled water, biscuits and sweets were also provided.
    Security guards at the racecourse said many gipsies and travellers did not stay for the afternoon once they had eaten their lunch and picked up their money.

      Following Old Holborn’s lead in becoming a Lesbian Transgendered One Legged Black Muslim in order to maximise her Yuman Rites, I have decided to become a Dirty Thieving Pikey.

      Not only will I never have to pay taxes or national inurance, I’ll go straight to the front of the queue at the doctor’s without bothering with any appointment and the police will have to provide me with dangerous dog and a bit of rope. They’ll also have to give me a shotgun or two, but no need for a licence, and then arrange a party for me and my fellow travellers. I’ll be able to go to conferences with free grub and £60 cash in hand no questions asked, ignore planning requirements, park my caravans anywhere I fucking like, save a fortune on road tax and insurance and MOTs, steal diesel from farms, flytip crap wherever I choose, and some do gooding Hunt from the council will come and fill in all the fucking forms so I can get every benefit going.

      Mind you, I’ll have to tone down my Hunting language a fucking bit.

    “total work time was approximately 25 minutes. This consisted of 5 minutes to get changed. 15 minutes sitting on the device, waiting for people to hit a target and then getting tipped into water a number of times and 10 minutes drying off”

    Yes, 5+15+10=25. And we wonder why they struggle to add up their expenses properly?
