          No, that’s the smoke of the smoke and mirrors variety.

          • Come the next general election it will be time for Cameron to really clean things up. Get rid of all the corrupt MPs and tell the new intake + old ones the games up for good or else!

          • Mitch says:

            Yeah, right…

          • Furious Capitalist says:

            Its all smoke and mirrors, the trouble is we are bankrupt because of these knackers, telling the world we are out of recession, What a load of bull. What did they expect when they pumped 185 billion into the economy, Nothing? All it is is a sticking plaster on the DAM, They will reap the economic fallout in around March April. None of the underlying factors have been addressed. THE WAR.

            Ali, I thought you died recently?

          • ali bongo says:

            That was the Hackney Empire in 1958.

          • Mr Ned says:

            If Kelly will not hold them to account, then it is YET ANOTHER thing that we must do come the next election.

            Time for a bloody good clear out!

            A Parliamentary colonic irrigation.

            CLEAR OUT THE SHIT!

          • FrogDog says:

            Camerooon will not clean things up. So Long as our attention is drawn to Hermon von Broon he is happy.

            So whose turn is it to shovel out the old nags in the not-so-stable stables?? Come to think of it, when they have all gone to the dogmeat factory what are we going to put in the stalls……..?

        Well there’s a big fuckin’ surprise…

        In other news, has anyone else seen the thing about Boris bravely chasing gangs of chavster females around London Town?

          Hurray for Boris.

          More postive news for the Tories in their mission to rid the UK of the scourge of incompetent Labour imbeciles that blight the land. The lady in question was even quoted as saying Ken would be fuck all use in a similar situation.

          Boris 1 Chavettes 0

          Boris 1 Ken 0

          Tories 1 Labour 0

          • jgm2 says:

            To be fair to thirsty Ken I seem to remember Dom Joly doing a spoof interview with Ken on a bridge pavement in London and setting up a mock fight/beating in the background to see how Ken would react.

            I can’t recall the exact detail but Ken certainly didn’t shy away from intervening or pretend that he hadn’t notice. He didn’t know it was a set-up remember.

            Kudos to Ken for that.

            But nobody aaprt from me and a few dozen other will remember that. The news is all about Brave Boris – which can only be good for ridding the UK of pucillanimous Labour incompetents who would rather ride the wagon of pay, expenses, patronage and pension for another six months rather than ‘do the right thing’ and throw their scorched earth PM on the pyre.

            Yes. Well done, Boris. A poli who sets an example – of a positive kind!

            And he has a sense of humour – Boris for PM!

          The U-Boat commanders in WW2 sank 100,000′s tons of merchant shipping when the USA joined the war and wouldn’t switch the lights out on the coast.
          Ships illuminated by the coastal lights were an easy target for the submarines.

          The U-boat commanders referred to this as the ‘happy time.’

          The many Labour trolls and rapid rebutters, enjoying the Lisbon gear change from Dave Cameron should enjoy this moment. The U-Boats lost so many subs the following year, when the Allies got their acts together, that they were withdrawn from the oceans.

          Try and get your knight’s crosses in right now while the hunting is easy. Its PMQ’s in a minute and the glorious leader will probably fuck it up as usual. He seems already to have done a U-Turn on his position on the Kelly report. Heinrich Harman continues to undermine him, even now.

    Get away – & there I was thinking justice would be done & the troughing fuckers would respect us.

    Time for the Court of Public Opinion to choose the 10 worst troughers & execute them – leaving their turgid remains to fester in the open air at the Citys gate as a warning to all wanna-be troughers.

    From the BBC News website

    But Eve Burt, who works for her husband the Conservative MP Alistair Burt, told the BBC any changes to staffing arrangements should only apply to new MPs – in line with pension changes in other professions.

    She added: “There are only about 200 of us that currently work out of the 3,000 staff that they have in Parliament and it would be nice if we were allowed to keep our jobs until our spouses… leave Parliament.”

    Parliament = Not real world

      It would have been “nice” if our so called leaders had not spents the past 20 years ripping off the tax payer. 200 family members and 600 odd MPs, hardly an uncommon fiddle was it?

    • 46
      HR Dept says:

      It would nice if a few more than 200 of them worked – that make’s 2,800 idlers on her figures.

        apologies for stupid apostrophe – no idea where it came from

      • 71
        Mitch says:

        actually the figures are 213 out of 2,600.

        The report says:

        “It is apparent therefore that not only do many MPs employ family members, but that a majority feel able to carry out their roles without doing so.”

        “Family members are on average paid slightly more than other staff, and receive higher bonuses (averaging £1,830 in 2008-09 as opposed to £1,400 for other staff who received bonuses).”

        “Such arrangements are at odds with good employment practice in the private and public sector. The Committee has heard evidence from a number of private sector practitioners to the effect that while
        it may not be uncommon for members of the same family to be employed in an organisation, there would generally be concern if a line-management relationship existed between two people who had a
        personal relationship.”

    • 49
      .243 Win says:

      There’s still another round of this to go.

      Just wait for all the troughing bastards to sign up their family members on employment contracts that have completely absurd notice periods and redundancy terms in them.

      Then wait for all the employment tribunals following their “illegal” dismissals and see how much compensation they claim…..

          Kelly covers staff redundancy and recommends reducing the amounts

          • ferret says:

            Mr Kelly does not understand employment law regarding redudundancy, If an employee is made redundant the job ceases to exist.

          • Mitch says:

            the job is for the existing M.P.? if they lose their seat the job DOES cease to exist? sounds ok to me.

            ok the NEW M.P. needs staff but this is a new sutuation, no?

      Why not volunteer, like all the out of work graduates that work for local authorities for no money. They do it for work experience. So why can they not do it for the good of their partners.

      If slave labour is back for graduates why not for helpers.

      Five British Soldiers killed to-day in incident 3 from Grenadiers and 2 from Royal Military Police BBC reporting shot by “rogue” Afghan Police whilst in training compound at Helmand. If you can’t trust the Afghan Police we might as well start pulling out now – or we disarm all Afghan Police and Afghan Army personnel when in British Compounds which is totally impractical

        The Afghan police feed terry taliban information so we had to make up some right mickey mouse bollocks for them sometimes and then send the pred drones to blow up the taliban who where sent to a vacant part of the desert.

        It was funny the first few times and then slowly you realised the country has not got a hope in hell as nearly everyone one of the bastards are lying betraying scum.

        I still maintain the Vlad the Impaler way of doing things will be the only way that country ever grows up.

        A couple of thousand heads and bodies on wooden stakes for all to see is the only kind of thing the savages understand.

          jgm2 says:

          Vlad the Impaler was an absolute star in the lunatic stakes.

          He got so bored of ‘just’ impaling people he started to have them done in concentric circles and fucking quasi crop-circle patterns just to introduce a bit of interest to proceedings.

          Then he’d sit at a table in the middle of all this butchery and enjoy a meal.

          Apparently they’d be impaled on nice sharp 20ft sticks lubricated with oil and some folk would stay alive for days like that.

          That’s got to hurt.

          He eventually suffered the same fate himself though.

          It is a fitting alternative to lamp-posts and piano wires and we must not wholly discount the option.

          • Mr Ned says:

            According to old English legend,

            If you hang someone upside down from their feet, then start to saw them in half, very very slowly, from the crotch, down through their abdomen and beyond the increased blood-loading in the brain (from their being upside down) keeps them conscious much longer to really enjoy their suffering.

            Some people have still been conscious until the saw stated cutting through their breast-bone.

          • jgm2 says:

            I reckon we could improve on that with modern technology. Just stick the fuckers in a fridge for a few hours to cool down their metabolism and further slow the loss of blood.

    Airey Belvoir says:

    Only ‘Draconian’ will do. A toxic combination of the expenses scandal and the growing realisation that the political class has finally sold us down the river to Brussels for all time, is leading to a total disenchantment with politics and the democratic process. The voter turnout next time. sadly, will reflect this.

      We can hope that the people will be so angry with them that they will turn out en masse to vote against them.

      I am trying to persuade my family to vote for no candidate who has already stood for or ‘served’ in Parliament. What we need is a house full of completely independent members who have no tribal loyalties and will, therefore, grass up any others who are on the fiddle.

      600 utter numpties would be better than the crooks we have now.

      • 103
        Mr Ned says:

        AMEN!!

        the numbers confirm this.

        22% of the electorate gave labour a 66 seat majority.
        40% did not bother voting at all.

        What will the current 60% who have been abandoned by the political class be able to achieve?

        That is why they do not want many people to vote. They would rather the pissed off millions stayed home on election day, instead of VOTE THEIR ASSES OUT OF POWER!

      Skippy says:

      You really think anything will change in June? Best not hold your breath. The dark forces which hounded Elizabeth Filkin from her job still hold sway today. It makes not one jot of difference who wins the election. The gravy train runs on the circle line; no inconvenient buffers to get in the way.

      Troughing MPs talk aboout a “bad system”. Nothing wrong with system, just dishonest MP’s (and Lords), and nothing is going to change any time soon, if ever.

    Well we cannot trust the establishment to sort out the establishment, that is VERY clear.

    It falls to us, the ignored, abused and ripped off electorate to make OUR feelings known at the next election.

    Any vote for a “mainstream” candidate, of any of the current top three parties, is now a vote in favour of corruption and thievery and treason!

    It is up to us to replace these thieving and corrupt and treasonous bastards.

    Let us not fail in the task,

    Tell everyone.

      That's democracy says:

      Correct.

      Interesting Nadine Dorries is now pontificating on Kelly recommendations. What of her “second home”? And, of course, the employment of the daughter infringes every known code of good employment practice. All this means that honest Nadine is, of course, particularly well suited to comment. I’m surprised that Julie Kirkbride and Geoff Hoon are not on with her.

      Still think you are living in a democracy?

      • 123
        Cross Chris says:

        Kelly has just stated that he expects MPs to “wife swap”, assuming they can prove they are best suited for job.

        I suggest that we all respond to the job offer and when the job goes to one of the wives, we all sue them under the draconian employment legislation that forces employers to prove the reasons for selecting one candidate over another.

        The costs of this action would scare the daylights out of them and go to show what terrible laws they have created in this area.

        It will also stop them offering jobs for the girls…
