The pressure on Labour MP Andrew Dismore to step down from the Standards and Privileges Committee is increasing as his explanations unravel. Guido noted Dismore’s ridiculously high transport claims as far back as 2004:
“Now you can believe that travel costs for Scottish MPs would be higher – if they choose not to let the train take the strain with their free travel warrants – claiming that oh so generous mileage allowance. But Andrew Dismore in Hendon must travel by helicopter – London’s most expensive MP drew £147,650 in expenses last year on top of his salary of £54,725. Nevertheless his attendance record is pretty poor, despite being a London MP he manages to come in the bottom half of attendees, missing a third of all votes. The 35 minute journey on the Tube would cost £20 a week if he came in every day – which he clearly doesn’t – so for the period parliament sits it would cost around £700 – yet his travel expenses are £4,959.”
The Telegraph’s Jon Swaine has hit Dismore again this morning: “Regarding his travel expenses, Mr Dismore said he needed to drive around his constituency throughout the year. He said that he recorded his mileage precisely and was sometimes forced to make three return journeys between Westminster and Hendon in a single day.” Well if he does all that daily driving around his constituency, why does he need a second home elsewhere in London?
Dismore > Lamp post > Rope
Piano wire would be better than rope.
Just shoot the twat
Waste of a bullet
Piano wire can be recycled
So can lead and brass casings.
Moral Misconduct=Labour
Go get him Guido!
I see the rather dim Master Baiter is sleep-posting again. Yes, there is financial misconduct but it is the ZaNuLiebores who are in office. Gordoom=worst Chancellor ever.
Master Baiter = Growing Desperation
We don’t need wire what we need is a capitalist driven political system that would not allow payment for failure. A true Meritocracy has been laid to rest so that a QUANGO CRAT State for the well connected usless Bastards of those in power have a position that pays Bonuses on Failure, Bonuses on Dept, Bonuses on over spend. This Country is Fucked. When the Republic of China can do a better job of running a capitalist economic system, We should hold our heads in SHAME. Shame on the systems that have allowed these useless C–ts get into position. What does it say about the LSC. What a load of Wank–s
Obviously you are unaware of the difference between fascist corporatism and capitalism. Try Google sometime.
“Italian historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because “the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise… Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social”
Or alternatively, you might consider reading a book occasionally.
Get ‘er.
You obviously don’t read the FT then what do you think it means when the Gov print the Cash to give to the Banks to Buy the Equity in so called private Companies. Yes National Socialism Yes Exactly what happened in Germany, Thanks to the WAR that caused this OVER TAXATION, that bankrupt the economy, I don’t need to google fu– all to know that the country is run by a bunch of knackers, with the same limited view of the world. Blaming Banks that where deregulated by the Quango Crats that wont take responsibility for ruining Capitalism. Police State here we come, Oh fuck who is going to pay for it. Ah lets borrow the Money from the Chinese. Well done
Ah By the way I don’t need to read a book to know that the cu-ts that have been reading the books have caused this monumental fuc- up. I will give you a book to read, the Politics of Heroin by Proff Alfred McCoy. You might learn something and Wake up from your dream
Dismore = Pisspoor
Iain Dale may have just joined the global warming alarmist collusion.
I put a very reasonable post on his site saying that the University of East Anglia scientists were being defensive and that Lord Lawson was right to ask for an enquiry and Dale hasn’t published it!!
Maybe he wants the job of Vice Chancellor.
If you get time please publish your opinions on his site to smoke him out.
You nicked that !!
4p a mile? So 10 miles is 4 quid. Say car does 50mg then 50 miles is 20 quid and he only puts 5 quid in tank, profit of 15 quid tax free per tank full. And don’t forget all the time he is in his car he is being paid an excellent salary plus tax free expenses. And of course no checks are carried out to see if those journies were actually constituency business and not private. Give the trougher a bus and tube pass.
Apologies. Above should read 40p a mile.
I’m going to be late today. Can you continue posting until 6pm and I’ll take it from there.
There are some Red Bulls in the fridge with my post its on them. Help yourself.
Cheers Mate.. see ya later.
In Beckenham we have Jacqui Lait. Her Claim for car mileage was £6884. At 9 miles from Westminster this is £764 per mile. This can also be viewed as 59 miles per day 365 days per year! (40p for first 10,000 miles and then 25p per mile.)
Wrong guess MB. That post-wank angst (wangst) will eat you up old son. Crack another one off and release some more endorphins.
Try not to be so paranoid old son.
Mps get free train travel???????!!!!!!! What???????
Keep it up, Guido old chap! Many of the journos are distracted by MPs’ tales of woe, it’s so unfair, wife and two mistressses to support, we’re so stressed, man you’re like totally harshing my vibe, all the same excuses given by some ham-fisted lout who is found to have beaten up his girlfriend.
Of course, most lobby hacks have gained from these MPs.
It would nigh on impossible to make 3 return journeys from Hendon to Westminster in a day
He’s running a mini-cab business on the side, and charging the taxpayer for the petrol.
“I had that Andrew Dismal in the front of my cab, once.”
So Grayling gets more business. Maybe his chatter is more interesting.
seems a bit unnecessary and wasteful. Why not re-arrange things to go just the once? Reduces the opportunity for misleading and evasive excuses, I suppose.
Perhaps one could consider the possibility that HE’S LYING?
THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES APPLICABLE TO EVERYONE IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE:
1. Selflessness: Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other benefits for themselves, their family or their friends.
2. Integrity: Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or other obligation to outside individuals or organizations that might seek to influence them in the performance of their official duties.
3. Objectivity: In carrying out public business, including making public appointments, awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of public office should make choices on merit.
4. Accountability: Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office.
5. Openness: Holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the decisions and actions that they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands.
6. Honesty: Holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest.
7. Leadership: Holders of public office should promote and support these principles by leadership and example.
Aye right!
That’s a pretty list, GWAE. If we have just had a murderous gutter rat as our highest ranking civil servant (Blair) who has sold our country out and killed men women and children for financial gain – I doubt the lower ranks will take that list any more seriously.
Perhaps he’s a dogger.
He’s definitely a hogger.

Christ! Look at the wing mirrors on it!
The fat bastards caught troughing should be forced to drive one for a year.
There cannot be a single MP that can credibly sit on the Standards and Privileges Committee.
In Gorbals Mick’s 2006 Green Book Speaker’s Introduction, he says “Members themselves are responsible for ensuring that their use of allowances is above reproach”.
Andrew Walker, who was Director of Finance & Administration went on to say in his introduction. “It is your (MP’s) responsibility to satisfy yourself when you submit a claim, or authorise payments from your staffing allowance, that any expenditure claimed from the allowances has been wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred for the purpose of performing your Parliamentary duties”.
The Green Book proves that any MP’s who says it was within the rules is a liar.
MP’s have shown us they cannot be trusted to police themselves and no beneficiary of Parliamentary largesse should sit on the Standards and Privileges Committee.
Andrew Dismore manages to make Derry Irvine look frugal
We are run from Brussels. post Lisbon. So why bother with any troughers at Westminster?
If you abandon Westminster, then you abandon any chance of ever exiting the EU. Stark as that is and unpalatable as the troughers are, Westminster remains our only hope of ( fading ) freedom.
Abandoning Westminster, Brilliant!!!!!!
Nice try. But ‘we’ have to ask the EU, pretty please, can we leave. They could reply that our Westminster talking (fraud) shop is not representative of the UK as a whole (more votes for Lib Dims + Liebores even if a Tory majority). Even if we have a referendum in favour of leaving, the EU could always say vote again (precedent).
I am now tending to think that it is more likely that the EU will break up, before we in the UK could get our act together sufficiently to force our exit.
The enquiry that has just started will do nothing for justice.
Read very carefully just who these Privy Council members are.
This will be a whitewash as they cannot possibly find against anyone.
Other countries must be watching this in astonishment.
Seminars will be held / Evidence will be heard / Witnesses will be called. Yeah right.
And meanwhile,a lorry load of B&Q own label white paint (times are hard) is stored in the basement of the QE2 Centre,ready for a liberal splashing.
Don’t bother wasting any of your life on this – focus on Brown – he’s the Soviet spy ruining Great Britain and England in particular.
Well said.
You omitted “lessons will be learned”.

BBC just completely ignores ClimateGate!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8359629.stm
Not a surprise.
Did you expect it to be their lead story??
Just heard some Ecomoonbat on R4 saying that Cumbrian floods are due to global warming (not building a house on a river bed at all) and the FACT that 60 of the worlds leaders are going to Copenhagen is PROOF of Global Warming.
nope, Gordon Brown heard there was a scouts jamboree taking place in Copenhagen and felt sudden warming.
Then Copenhagen’s fucked!!!
I may be wrong, but didn’t Gordie go visit Prescott in or around Cockermouth this summer holidays, I know we were there but nowt to do with us.
It’s proof that it’s alot of hot air.
Assuming that the 60 leaders are not travelling to Copenhagen by rowing boat, I would say that if they believe in global warming they are certainly adding to it.
How come governments havn’t heard of teleconferencing yet? Businesses have been doing this for years and the new video wall projection systems are now rather good.
Surely a “Climate Change” conference would be the ideal forum for systems like this??

Busting Global Warming Cult wide open = Hacking.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8370282.stm
Good job steps are being taken to stem this kind of priviliged information from being breached….
“We are undertaking a thorough internal investigation and we have involved the police in this enquiry.” …
….”I trust that they will now be looking at the systems, and investigating how this happened and ensuring that something like this does not happen again.”
Nothing to see here. Move along.
ah – the “trying to sell it as an IT hacking story” way of reporting – a bit like when Hannan giving it to Broon in the EU Parliament was sold as an “Internet viral” story a couple of days later…
This is somewhat bigger than a hacking story, the US and China are all over it and won’t be agreeing to anything that will hurt growth, as the world comes out of a recession, on some flimsy and manipulated ‘scientific’ evidence – it’s not going to help Broon SaveTheWorld(TM) this time!
https://secure.wikileaks.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit_emails%2C_data%2C_models%2C_1996-2009
The Professor on Politics Show was very indignant about the ethics of the whole issue. In fact he was absolutely livid that someone had hacked into the database, then leaked the contents all over the internet.
Somehow, he appeared to overlook the ethics of fixing the data to suit the theory. It reminded me of MPs screaming about the leak of their expenses claims, rather than owning up that they had been involved in wrongdoing.
Ah the old hackers story – where have I heard that before
http://order-order.com/2009/08/27/the-mystery-of-the-missing-mcbride-emails/
Pathetic attempt to suppress:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/richardblack/
Update 2309: Because comments were posted quoting excerpts apparently from the hacked Climate Research Unit e-mails, and because there are potential legal issues connected with publishing this material, we have temporarily removed all comments until we can ensure that watertight oversight is in place.
Makes one proud of the BBC.
What I find difficult to believe is that anyboby could believe that that real scientists would ever belong to East Anglia Polytechnic.
“watertight oversight”
You bet, baby.
@Cinna – exactamundo – I’ve been thinking that since this broke. Really? East Anglia? Examplar institution? Bollox.
They’re beginning to look ridiculous.Even the Grauniad is taking the story very seriously-Monbiot calling for Prof Jones to resign and acknowledging the distortion of data and suppression of evidence as a public scandal.But the BBC carry on their own agenda regardless.
The title of Gore’s film”An Inconvenient Truth” is now looking more than slightly ironic.
good job i ordered at taxpayers’ expense two copies of Al Gore’s excellent propaganda DVD for every school in England. what a cool dude i am!
At full price I hope, and not at the knockdown rate charged by Amazon.
Jordan apologises is far more important. To be replaced by Jedward. How much TV news is taken up with reporting TV shows?
There is usually a trailer for some obscure BBCTV programme in the Lunctime News. Often the newsreader slows down the pronounciation and deepens her voice for some odd reason.
I guess this means he does not accept the party line on Co2 emmissions causing global warming. Guido you must have somebody ask the younger commie Millipede ‘the teeth’ if he approves of Dismores constant driving, which is a direct cause of polar bear deaths on the M25.
Have to tell you all, I watched Glenn Beck last night on Fox News 10pm, it was very interesting, they have started tearing apart the climate change Nazi’s over in the US about the hacked emails, what was really funny though and an own goal from Beck, was he could not say East Anglia, he called it East Angelia, funniest thing I have heard on TV for years. And this from a man who knows and supports the military, as everyone knows East Angelia is now where the USAF lives in the UK. Beck obviously thought it was some Eastern bloc country. Pure magic.
Glenn Beck is as thick as Jade Goody shock!
What unlike the tax dodging, boring, hypocritical owners of The Grauniad who are bankrolled by AUTO TRADER sales LOL.

What is wrong with being thick, surely it is their youmin rite to be thick or perhaps it is because of the educashun systems
It’s much more embarrassing having a PM who cannot say Al Que’ada (Alky Ada).
Of course, that might be the correct pronunciation in the well-polished Kurdish patois that he is fluent in.
Or perhaps not.
Tranpearantly so.
Iraq Enquiry starts – live streaming here
http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/
Can someone get down to B&Q – we may need quite a lot of white wash for this one.
When the chairman says one day that there is no whitewash, then the next day says that his team are not experienced enough to rule on the major issue of the legality of going there in the first place, I would say that B&Q probably don’t have enough to go round!
I have irrefutable proof that WMDs exist in Iraq and that we are just 45 minutes away from disaster.
I’ll bankroll it.
Why are they hearing evidence from Aleister Crowley?
because Timothy Leary’s dead….
And I’ll withhold all the kit from our armed forces.
I am, after all, a complete hoon.
The Chairman is an ex civil service mandarin FFS.
He owes his livelihood,pension and knighthood to a lifetime of towing the line and asking “How high”? when his Political masters shouted “jump”.
That’s why he has a knighthood and is also why we have already had The Hutton whitewash,The Butler whitewash and will undoubtedly finish this sordid saga with the Chilcott whitewash.
Hutton is the best branded whitewash.
11.00 – the first – ….. it’s “the right thing do statement” !!
Remember at Saddam Husseins trial our noble UK gov refused to give evidence as it would “breach his human rights”.
Humphries landed some Exocets on Faulkener on Toady this am.
Shit – there getting closer !!
***Smirks in anticipation***
“We are not a court or an inquest or a statutory inquiry; and our processes will reflect that difference. No one is on trial. We cannot determine guilt or innocence. Only a court can do that,” he said. “But I make a commitment here that once we get to our final report, we will not shy away from making criticisms where they are warranted.”
Although witnesses will not appear under official oath, those giving evidence will be expected to agree a declaration that they are telling the truth to the best of their ability. Critics say it remains unclear whether anyone will be liable to prosecution on the basis of their testimony or how much evidence will be allowed behind closed doors.
So a few slapped wrists, Nothing to see here, move along please
What is the difference between giving evidence under oath and signing a declaration saying you told the truth? Why try and make a difference?
Is it to give the appearance of the enquiry requiring ‘honesty’ but actually a legal get-out-of-jail card?
If there cannot be prosecution for contempt if someone is found to have told deliberate lies, then the whole ‘declaration’ thing is bullshit.
The reason that people generally tell the truth in court is because they know they will be in jail if they don’t!!
I wonder how much of his expenses bill is for Ken’s congestion charge?
Drive in central London every weekday at 8 quid a go, that’s a couple of grand a year…
A very valid point. And thanks to Ken’s super-digital efficiency, he’ll be able to prove it with the electronic receipts.
If it’s got a receipt, most people will probably be ok.
Then again, I’m assuming he’s telling the truth and not just a lying sh*t.
Tagging and tachographs for all MPs.
They have nothing to fear if they’ve nothing to hide.
Good idea, MPs are all for tagging everything and keeping tags on everyone, why leave themselves out, then Joe Public would then be able to find where their beloved MP is, whoops, that would mean catching them in a house of ill rupute, ie The Rising Sun.
Technomist @ 18~~They are trackable through their cellphones.
Isn’t Dismore one of the chosen people and one of the biggest apoplogists in Parliament for Labour’s warmongering and authoritarianism?
you filthy anti-semitic bastard!
Fuck off Dickwad, you shabbatgoyim turd.
i hear the cun’t loves pizzas.
just get over it, for fuck’s sake!
More pizza for Dismal Dismore?
I think you’ll find there are 400 Labour Mps exactly like him.
Those warmongering and authoritarian Bills don’t just vote themselves in you know.
All neo-marxists think they are the chosen people.
Possibly, but with a majority of 2699 probably not for much longer.
It seems to me that, if Dismore is doing 3 round trips a day between Westminster and Hendon, he’s wasting far too much time being unproductive, i.e. sitting behind the wheel of his gas-guzzling, CO2-emitting car. He could be far more productive if he travelled by train and left his wheels at the Hendon station. He would also cost the taxpayer 140-odd thousand less.
Naaah. Au contraire. While he’s sitting in his car being unproductive he’s not actively fucking anything up. Gordon Brown could learn much from that behaviour.
The reality of course is that he’s not sitting in his car nor is he travelling to and from Hendon three times a day. Well, maybe once in twenty years it happened. Maybe. Far more likely is that the man is an expenses cheat.
Like the rest of the fuckers.
OT
Further proof that the climate is getting colder…
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8375884.stm
deaths due to overheating.
- GP quacks tipped a £grand to record heat exhaustion cause of death on death certs.
The BBC just follow government dogma of global warming while not reporting that government scientists have been spectacularly caught lying that the world has actually cooled since 1999 and that it was much hotter a thousand years ago.
While we all have a duty to avoid poluting the planet, it is a bit inconvenient for Gordon Brown and the climate change gravy train IF they cannot really prove it is not a natural phenomena.
The BBC has long regarded government sponsored lying to the electorate is not news worthy.
Now Pollution is something pretty much everyone can agree on, the results of anti pollution measures are tangible and measurable. However that is the reason why it could never be promoted as a tax generator, people would quickly see the enviromental improvements and the need for taxation to be reduced incrimentally as things improve.
No a far better tax scam would be a phantom like CO2 and a phoney, quasi religious “battle” that may only show results in many decades to come, when many of those who were alive at its inception would be either dead or very old and may ( will ) never be beaten, as CO2 is essential for all life on Earth, it is just that, a phantom, a chimera, a hoax.
The perfect system of taxation and control, is one that can never be removed and what better excuse than saving the planet?
Yep, CO2 is plant-food, not pollution.
The thing is that governments are terribly inefficient utilisers of assets.
You only have to see a communist country to see how polluted it is.
So will being making the economy more like a communist country lower pollution?? No!
There’s fuck all right, or honourable, about MPs.
The fact that they, and only they, choose to call each other that speaks volumes. It’s an ancient device, present from the start, to deflect attention from their festering core which the public now sees straight through.
Simple fact is after all that has been written, said and promised they are still at the trough. You have to ask where are Brown and Cameron on all of this – the silence is deafening. They are meant to lead their parties and are in a position to make an example of these crooks but are frankly shit scared to do anything. The worst thing is that no one will accept that it renders the past judgements of the Standards Committe totally without any merit and explains why they were so shit anyway). It was and remains a crooks court. How could they judge, let alone censor, McNulty and Smith when they knew they might be next?
And where the f*** are the press? As said above they seem to be falling for all the cries of hardship and unfairness. Just remember the effort and money (our money) the vast majority of the hoons put into avoiding this all coming out. Just ask how many of them stood up and said ‘hang on a minute chaps this expenses thing seems to be getting a little out of hand’ – not one. They are all GUILTY by association and have no right to bleat at all.
I bet the next we hear from Brown and Cameron will be to use the four referrals for prosecution as an attempt to ‘put an end to the expenses saga’.
I am so f’ing pissed off with this whole sorry bunch.
Well said Bustop. (O/T why only 1 s?)
Dave’s lack of balls on EU and expenses show he will be more of the same. Potential Tory vote lost, hung parliament more likely even without postal votes.
As Bustop says, the silence is deafening
Will Dave break cover over CRU?
David Cameron = Tony Blair
Still, Iris Robinson’s claim for £300 for a pen is the best of the lot so far.
That’ll be a Mont Blanc. Nothing’s too good for the workers.
I’m surprised that Mandleson hasn’t claimed for that gold wrist watch?
He did.
It’s a knock-off copy from a Brazillian market stall. Posh-looking case, bog-standard quartz movement. $20 maximum – and you’re being fleeced at that. We had a guy at work used to sell ‘em – Rolexes, you name it; all as dodgy as a nine-bob note.
Don’t you mean Bolexes.
***Chuckles***
I think the term is “queer as a nine bob note.” Oh sorry, you were talking about the watch!
Coming to a showroom near you unless you lobby your MPs about the revelations in the Climategate emails:
How the f**k can I fix that idiot Brown’s mistakes if the whole CO2 thing is complete balls?
That means all my fuel, ved, cap’n'trade tax grabs are based on a complete lie – a bit like a Labour Party Manifesto.
It’s all Thatcher’s fault and 18 years of Tory mis-rule.
It’s such an awesome spoof ad.
Spoof? You cont, I really fancied one of dem!
Another thieving scumbag MP then! I wonder what his excuse might be?
They are almost all at it, how are they going to find enough honest ones to sit on the Standards Committee??
and what about the Keens ?
Dismore is one of the Standards Committee though, innit?
Lets shoot both of the fuckers, MB.
Are you up for it?
Once you have tidied your room, of course.
The Stasi Database is now running.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/8376193.stm
Among the 538 entires were Mike Hunt, Ivor Biggun, Hew Jass, Mickey Mouse, Jackie Boots, Iosif Stalin.
But does the database have James Gordon Brown, Sarah Brown on it or not, perhaps he should be asked next time he is seen in public?
“all except one were UK nationals”
What is a non-UK national doing on a NATIONAL database? (the clue is in the name lads)
So already one mistake and there’s only 538 people on it FFS!!!
Surely the 284 MPs and the 287 Peers who voted for the final amendments to this Bill will be among the first to sign up for it?
Can someone ask every Cabinet minister at every press conference between now and the election if they have an ID card, and if not why not, when they voted for them and are happy to inflict them on others?
Is my mate Saddam Hussien on it?
This is a bloody good point.
Can some of you journos please keep asking each any every MP who voted for this – and most especially the cabinet members?
“Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and HBOS were secretly kept afloat with £62 billion of emergency Government support at the height of the credit crisis last year”
The Times
It was the right thing to do. Simples.
Tis is all very embarrassing. The whole ‘narrative’ is that this credit thing just blew up overnight and Gordon ‘saved the world’ with a lightening decision taken between brushing his teeth and porridge on weekend.
Are you now saying that the BoE was providing emergency funding having been approached repeatedly in the prior months? that this situation was festering while all along the Maximum Imbecile and his scape-goat chancellor were spouting bollocks about how uniquely placed we were to weather the ‘global financial crisis which started in America and has fuck-all to do with me Gordon Brown’?
Well the news that there was several months build up to the decision to bail out the banks and take ‘em into public ownership certainly explains the handy BBC news that same evening. I did wonder – for .001 of a second how come they’d managed to digitally remaster all those archive tapes from the 1980′s so they were able to put out a helpful bulletin explaining to the voters how the economic collapse was not the fault of the Maximum Imbeciles insane borrow and squander economy but ‘a failure of capitalism’ and a ‘failure of Thatcherism’ cue helpful pictures of 1980′s yuppies, giant ‘mobile phones’ and women with giant shoulderpads and huge perms.
The news that the government and BBC had several months to position it’s ‘defence’ and direct the BBC ‘narrative’ as to who to blame – dutifully replecated by the lazy press the next day comes as no surprise to me but for those with the will to pursue it it may be informative to ask the BBC just who commissioned/authorised the whitewash bulletin exonerating the imbecile Labour government and blaming the yanks and the banks and just how much notice were they given.
Exactly.
The volume of credit is controlled by the regulator, and the volume of credit was expanded FAR more than economic growth. The result was inevitable.
Devolve Scottish debt.
“Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and HBOS were secretly kept afloat with £62 billion of emergency Government support at the height of the credit crisis last year.”

This bastard’s finished.
Let’s move on to the next.
Once Dismals gone, we’ll move onto other piss takers.
What about those two thieving Labour tossers in the house of Lords caught in flagrante delecto offering to alter legislation for £100,0000 bungs?
Thats fucking troughing big time,corruption with a capital C and as dishonourable a scam as it is possible to invent.
The difference between the parties being that had it been a Tory he would have been stood up against a wall and shot but these two new Labour vermin get 6 months garden leave and told don’t do it again.
oooooops! remove a nought – I got carried away
Parasite
Why don’t journalists ever bother doing workings out? £1,208 is the price of an annual Zone 3 travelcard, covering Hendon, and MPs claim, as do many people who use a car, for milage.
£3,750 at 0.40p per mile is nearly 9,400 miles means he’d have to drive 180 miles a week on Parliamentary business. I doubt it…
To continue the calculation…
It would mean that he would have to drive from his constituency to and from Westminster more than seven times a day!!!
Remember… the thieving little sh*ts don’t work a 5 day week, nor 52 weeks a year…
Isn’t it more plausible that he’s simpy a lying f*cker?

MB, Grayling is not on the Standards Committee set up to look at how others have behaved. He’s a troughing Hoon, just like most of our other Hoonourable Members, and his constituents will have their say on him in a few months’ time.
Dismore is on the Standards Committee – surely you agree that people on this committee have to be seen to be completely above reproach when they act as judge and jury on others’ behaviour – THAT is the point of this thread.
I remain baffled over why people here continue with the hand-wringing over why Brown, Cameron, Clegg et al dont “get a grip” (or some similar cliche) and “sort out” the fraud. How much evidence is required before people will wake up to the fact that only seismic constitutional change will alter anything?
Brown, Cameron, Clegg and so on are part of the problem. MP’s ARE the problem and cannot, indeed will not, despite they lies they tell you, affect any change. Their sole goal now is to suppress information while protecting the gravy train. Is anyone really surprised when the head of the “Standards Commission” (has there ever been a more ironic misnomer than that?) is a veteran trougher?
And the hoons here who adopt their idiotic parochialism of “my party is better than yours” are the worst of all. These are the people who cling to the floating turds, who cannot admit all that they have invested in is rotten to the core. It matters not a jot which party members are apprehended because you can bet that the vast majority are at it regardless of affiliation.
Still think you are living in a democracy?
MB
I think you’ve cut and pasted enough for one day young man. Now put your crayons away, wash your hands and sit down to lunch. CBeebies is on!
Fuck yes!
Wrong guess again MB. You are on a roll.
Just ‘cos you stalk me doesn’t mean I stalk you. Really. It doesn’t.
Having failed to cover the Cockermouth floods on Friday morning (they went to flood free Keswick instead), the BBC are now broadcasting (with a crew of hundreds) breaking news that it is raining in the Lake district. Little wonder many now refuse to pay the licence tax.
I wonder what colour BBC issue wellies are?
Not green probably; too much like the huntin’ shootin’ and fishin’ people use. Not black, ‘cos that would offend minorities, and anyway, they wouldn’t want to look like labourers. Must be those multi-coloured flower-pattern ones, or maybe pink for the ‘boys’.
As their Jackets all seem to be branded Berghaus I would not be surprised to see a Hunter logo on the wellies
Hunter wellies are shite these days. They spring a leak after just a few months regular wear.
Shit – so it rains in autumn in the lake district?
So that’s what I pay 145 quid a year for the BBC to tell me!
Rain, nature’s way of telling you that you’re in The Lake District.
Tories will hold PMQs on a Thursday evening.

But won’t most MPs have fucked off for an extended weekend by then?
It’s funny how if you scratch any of them you’ll invariably find a little piggie there.
There’s no stopping my gags now.
Just wait until Prime Ministers Question Time,the whole House will be splitting their sides
In London an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital.
He motioned for his nurse to come near.
“Yes, Father?” said the nurse.
“I would really like to see Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling MP before I die”, whispered the priest.
“I’ll see what I can do, Father”, replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to The Houses of Parliament and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling would be delighted to visit the priest. As they went to the hospital, Brown commented to Darling,
“I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it certainly will help our images and might even get me re-elected. Darling agreed that it was a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Brown’s hand in his right hand and Darling’s hand in his left.
There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest’s face.
Finally Gordon Brown spoke.
“Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?”
The old priest slowly replied, “I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.”
“Amen”, said Brown.
“Amen”, said Darling.
The old priest continued, “Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same….”
I am the joke, so no gags from me.

you are indeed the w@nker’s wanker
MB’s desperation visibly growing by the day, LOL!
Are you job hunting in May?
I’d get a proper job sooner than that.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE!
Maybe they should bring in a climate change blasphemy law if you’re getting so worried.
”in recorded history is exquisite.”
How long has the earth been around? 6billion+ years, then compare it to how long have we been recording? 100+ years, QED oh dear look who has egg on their face.
Your stupidity is really the most exquisite thing here.
Yes!
You really, really are!
You’re a gullible simpleton MB, end of story.
Now fuck off.
That recorded history is only since 1914 and there wasn’t a rainguage at Seathwaite then, so the records mean little. There have always been flash floods and there always will be flash floods, no amount of taxation will stop that. What would work though is to stop building on flood plains as flood is what flood plains do. And what would help is to stop concreting and tarmacing every inch of bare earth.
Since a local farmer stopped ploughing up and down and went across all his fields we have stopped seeing brown water run off in heavy rain, a very simple and obvious thing to do and it works.
By PR campaign you mean the conmen at UEA getting caught with their pants down?
I don’t suppose your old enough to remember the Linton flood sonny.

The greens would not let them dredge the Derwent because of the fishes. Result Floods, which results in the fishes getting polluted, which results in errosion of bridge foundations which results in fishes getting squished by big rocks from flood destroyed bridges. Well done the greens.
The current natural disasters striking Keswick, Workington and Cockermouth are purely down to Gordon “Jonah” Brown having his Summer holiday there.
Don’t beleive it, ask Jedward, Honda, Velux Windows, Ericsson, Vestas, President Blair, John McCain, Mexico, Diversity, Ricky Hatton, Manchester United, English Cricket team, Sellafield, Southampton docks, Liverpool radio DJ Phil Easton (fatally), Tottenham Hotspur team captain Ledley King, Media Wales, Nissan, Lehman’s, KPMG and last of all, the economy.
Master Baiter, when are you going to admit that everything he touches turns to dust
Perhaps we can put this to music ala Proclaimers style… e.g. “Linlithgo no more…”?
From today’s Telegraph:
The inquiry team said in its statement: “Should a witness feel unable to answer questions due to a genuine fear of self-incrimination of a criminal offence, it would be open to the Inquiry Committee to consider whether, in order to secure the greatest possible openness and co-operation, it would be appropriate to seek an undertaking from the Law Officers that evidence provided to the inquiry will not be used in criminal proceedings against them.”
Those in the wrong should be bricking themselves.
Instead, we are going to have an enquiry an invitation to which will effectively absolve criminals of their crimes.
It should be demanded of anyone appearing: to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Any failure to do so should be regarded as a crime in itself.
How/when the fuck did telling the truth become negotiable?
As with Butler, Hutton et al, this whole thing fucking stinks before it has even started.
Write to your MP and ask her/him whatscientific papers she/he read before taking the view they now hold on AGW.
Answers to be posted on their websites.
If it’s true about Grayling, why aren’t we going after the bastard?
Is John Mann the only honest one in the whole fucking sty?
no, behave! Look at his expenses pre 2003
We need Sharia law in Britain so we can start cutting the hands off the criminal filth in parliament.
Stinking Nu Liebore left Nazi trash, pig Dismore deserves to die.
We already have bits of it creeping in to our country Boarding over crosses on crematoriums, removing bibles from bedsides in hospitals , banning underwear advertising posters in muslim area’s, banning the flying of Union jacks on St Georges day And now the governments failure to help prevent the closure of 60 pubs a week loosing a major part of the “british” way of life !
