Labour Toff Claimed £20,000 for Bell Tower
Labour toff Quentin Davies attempted to claim over £20,000 for repairs to the bell tower on his £5 million country seat Frampton Hall. The government minister was clearly somewhat confused by the rules of what is and isn’t in the realms of totally unacceptable. Nor is it the first time he has got into a muddle, he once described Gordon as “a leader I have always greatly admired, who I believe is entirely straightforward, and who has a towering record, and a clear vision for the future of our country which I fully share.”
After what has to be the most outrageous claim by an MP yet, Guido suspects something nasty will happen to Mr Davies before too long and he will have no one but himself to blame.
Wonder where he went to school?
Leighton Park School is a Quaker public school for both boarding and day pupils in Reading, Berkshire, England.
Harvard – that great Labour public school (just not here).
He should be made to wear the bell the complete pratt. More than most peoples (untaxed) annaul salary to sort out a bell – when does he ring it? Whenever Gordo visits? At Christmas?
Oh matron! Golly!
Nobody likes a turncoat, the man will lose his seat for being a traitor and for his expenses!
Endorsed – Labour have never held Grantham – which of course is the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher – and Davies is unlikely to buck the trend especially as he is a turncoat extraordinaire who will NEVER be forgivern for the manner of his treachery – and he’s about as likely to get a peerage as being re-elected
it’s pretty good but of course it isn’t a Duck House or a Moat which are now THE quintessential expenses scandal claims in the publics mind
nice try all the same
Keep it up Guido and I’ll order the BBC to increase mentions about Tory moats by 250% until the general election. The Labour movement is to provide for the hard-working families – to suggest that we also have toffs in our party is rather offensive really.
Yes we all grew up in right working class conditions.
Much like Lord Mandelson we very much like visiting Estates where there is lots of shooting.
How was your shooting holiday with, Gaddafi junior and Cherie Antoinette, at your chum Rothschild`s country estate Lord Peter?
I trust your informal business discussions were profitable?
Profitable? You don’t know the half of it. I always fancied a yacht to go with my maserati. Soon my work here will be done anyway and it will be back to the EU for the big money and wonderful pensions. Just as soon as I’ve managed to set everything in place for Britain to join the Euro. I think about another £300bn of debt should be enough to sink the pound.
Is there a picture of you checking out a bell end somewhere lord M?
Private eye will pay for a good snap
Guacamole anyone?
The truth always hurts, Mandelslime.
Not far off already MScum, the eye-boggler is already ordering AlBeezira to troll harder as Balls Broadcasting Corp:

Grab a pitchfork and a flaming bog roll torch and let’s head up there
You first.
Would that fit up Gordon’s arse?
very interesting – you missed the bit about using it to light up a tarred and feathered Anthony Linton Blair, though.
Words cannot describe my revulsion at this casual greed.
I am usually unwilling to get emotional about political issues but, a few minutes ago, my wife came home at lunchtime (never done that before) from teaching school. She is distressed as one of the little girls in her class was in tears this morning. She told my wife that her Daddy had lost his job and the whole family were worried about whether they will lose their house.
Contrast and compare with this utter scumbag. Also with Brown who uncaringly plays with billions of our money and shows only smug contempt for the little people.
At the moment, if the call came, I would take up arms and rid the country of these troughing low life thieves and liars.
Please, everyone, encourage everybody to use their vote and use it for independent candidates and ensure that NO MP is re-elected.
ou are right – the expenses, the shafting pbr (us not them), the reluctance to sort anything out or call an election – our abject misery, frustration and fear for the future.
merry christmas from labour.
Don`t worry about the future, our President Rumpoy, has just made a speech praising Copenhagen as the begining of the New World Order government.
No need for any concern, these important people will make laws for you to follow, without the tiresome distraction for the little people, of any such trivialities as elections or democracy.
Yes – and the 30% of the workshy and benefit scroungers who will STILL vote Liabour every bloody time, like the fit bloke I know, in his 40s, who’s done two weeks’ work since ’86.
you mean 2 weeks declared work, surely
Nice work, if you can avoid it.
at least the workshy benefit scroungers in the City and Banks are now beginning to understand that the public has no sympathy for them.
Now we just need a Tax on the workshy benefit scrounging MPs
And the Duck House MP claimed £115 for “bird proofing” http://j.mp/hustings

Quack Quack
But I’m Brown’s butler!

Eh?
Of course there are NO “toffs” in the Labour Party!!!
I want one of them
Stupid Question perhaps.
If NI is not a ‘Tax’.
Is it treated differently by the Treasury, and kept in a different account and actually used for the purpose prescribed originally?.
Or is it like motoring based revenue. Collected and used for whatever purposes this Government chooses to squander it in?
Surely if the money collected isn’t used for specific purposes, then it has to easier to collect the said money as Income Tax?
“Or is it like motoring based revenue. Collected and used for whatever purposes this Government chooses to squander it in?”
Quick off the mark as usual. Did you really expect anything else?
Looking at Quentin Davies’s claims the Taxpayer is funding the upkeep of his private Mansion and not a crash pad in London. How can this be right?
Just look at his Gas and Leccy Bills

The Cnut is even having his Chimney swept courtesy of the Taxpayer
Fucking Labour Toff.
That Country Estate is NOT his second home, it’s His Country estate for Fucks sake.
King Cnut is getting bad press.
It is time the tide turned.
Labour MP QUENTIN ’QUASIMODO’ LETTS does it again…
What else was one supposed to do? It fell over.
He previously got done for cruelty to sheep so we can call him a sheep abuser as well.
See 11.
Animal abuse? Can someone supply the details of this? If hew is abusing animals and troughing I think we should be told.
PAY BACK WHAT YOU HAVE STOLEN QUENTIN YOU FUCKING THIEF.
DO YOU THINK WE WILL PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT?
WATCH YOUR BACK C’UNT.
He previously got done for cruelty to sheep
Should that also apply to his Mrs?
if mr davies thought it is acceptable to claim for this he has obviously submitted many many other false claims.
Tablets quick TaT. Your about to effervecse again.
cheeky.
I am taking deep breaths.
taat always uses upper case when addressing the gentry because he thinks it is posh.
private parts is an excellent name for you.
you c’unt.
Do not be rude.
In the circumstances it is unseemly to comment on names.
boring.
Not as boring as standing by why Zac Ducks Taxes is it?
you have obviously not read my posts regarding tax dodgers like zac.
unlike you I believe the law of the land applies equally to all.
you are a corrupt individual who seeks to attack one side for fraud but not those on your side who are guilty of the same offences.
you are a fool.
The assertions of taat would ring true, no pun intended, if the comments condemned Zac Tax Ducks Quacks, instead of simply and limply tossing out hackneyed insults.
In the case of the Tory turncoat he has not admitted to any wrong doing. There is a process to ascertain if he is correct in claiming innocence.
In the case of Zac Ducks Tax, he has admitted tax evasion.
Zac Flak Tax Ducks Quacks
“limply tossing out hackneyed insults.”
said the limp tosser.
That is unfair, the phrase is
simply and limply tossing out hackneyed insults
It\’s called alliteration allegedly, or is it?
Private Parts posts piss-poor posts.
That’s alliteration.
@ private parts
No, alliteration is like this;
Private Parts puts pencils down his penis for pleasure.
Grammarian is thick.
Repeated consonants = alliteration
Repeated vowels = assonance
Lesson over. “Grammarian”
Great sport, to be sure, but frankly a side-show compared to the PBR fiasco.
Disappointing to see the focus shifting to a re-heat of a rather old news story (“MPs are Venal and Grasping; Not Many Astonished”).
Alistair Campbell will be so pleased.
Agreed – the compare and contrast with the firm action taken by the irish goverment , shows just how astonishingly weak labours’ response to the financial crisis we face has been. I look forward to the bbc highlighting this !
It is all a question of timing, before long Noose Internaitonal will be back in the dock for snooping and hacking.
Your boys taking a hell of a beating eh!
Isn’t it eh!
The banks blew themselves up.
The crisis was made in the private sector.
The government and the tax payers will stick the banks back together again.
The bankers need to get used to the smack of firm regulations.
Hell of a beating!!
Bingo!
Well considering Darling has decided to basically do fuck all until after the election, there is fuck all to say about the PBR.
We were never going to see a bonfire of the quangos and the only thing labour knows how to cut is services to the upper working and middle classes. They will keep funding the quangos that generate masses of rules and regulations and directives and seek to micro, No, nano-manage every tiny area of our lives. You just won’t be able to see a doctor and the nurses will be shafted.
Typical labour, they would spend 2 billion in figuring out how to cut 500 million without effecting “front line delivery” (of statistical analysis and target structuring)
The whole reason for yesterday’s NON announcement is so that whenever the tories do finally come out with ANY specific cuts in the next election campaign, Labour (who ARE in power(ish) and yet still have refused to do likewise) will claim it is something that they will still fund and it is an example of tory cuts, vs labour efficiency savings.
I bet the fucking BBC let those labour bastards get away with it too.
The crisis started because the bankers blew themselves up.
All the Government horses and all the taxes of the people are patching the banks back together again.
Now they need firm regulations to stop them from blowing themselves up again.
and the suicide bomber bankers blew themselves up with the dynamite provided to them by gordon brown.
which is a point you concede by accepting the banks were softly regulated during brown’s time as chancellor.
The crisis was caused by reckless greedy bankers.
Not allowed to say that in the Conservative Party.
Oh no, stick head in sand and hum a dull tune.
Everyone knows how powerful the bankers were.
More regulation! Yeah sure, watch this space.
The bankers and hedgies will squeal and squeal and squeal to be allowed to keep plundering.
Softly regulated? That is a bit “controlled” even by your standards TaT.
I would suggest that they were not softly regulated at all, but told to do whatever the hell they liked so long as they would keep filling the treasury coffers with all that lovely cash with which to build the totalitarian police state.
Speaking of the police state, I am heartened to see that as the inevitable and long overdue end to this wretched labour maladministration approaches, that some of the police in this country appear to be beginning to slowly return to the old, “bobby” role that they used to do years ago. More and more forces are realising that they get a lot more local co-operation if they use discretion and common sense, rather than acting as robotic, programmed revenue collection officers who treat EVERYONE as a suspect instead of a law abiding man or woman.
It is like coming to the end of a nightmare. Now all we need to to get out of the Marxist-fascist EU!
Gordon’s moral compass allows him and Labour to cover up torture. No problems.
Suicide bombers in Iraq. Yummy.
That is all.
yup.
tony blair and gordon bronw can stick the modernisation of Britain up their fucking arses.
it will be nice to have the bobby back on the beat.
after all, deterrancy is the first step of law keeping. CCTV images of someone being raped by a rapist are of no use whatsoever to the person being raped.
that was ofcourse addressed to mr ned and not the spastic private parts.
If the Tories want to be taken seriously they should spell out their proposed cuts well before the election. There will be the usual hysterical ‘righteous indignation’ by Labour, their supporters in the media and client organisations. But it would force Labour to explain specifically how much they intend to cut and from which departments. If they can’t then that should be warning enough for the floating voters.
And if the electorate reject the quantified Tory cuts then they have no-one to blame apart from Labour and themselves when the seven years of famine arrive.
I’m sure they will announce some specified cuts before the election in the spring but are probably staying out of the traps that are being laid for them by an administration that is acting like a child that’s had too much fizzy orange drink at lunchtime.
A smear of Vaseline works quite well for a cracked bell end
Have a bureaucratic bastard of a Christmas:
The Rocking Carol
Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir;
We will lend a coat of fur,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you:
Fur is no longer appropriate wear for small infants, both due to risk of allergy to animal fur, and for ethical reasons. Therefore faux fur, a nice cellular blanket or perhaps micro-fleece material should be considered a suitable alternative.
Please note, only persons who have been subject to a Criminal Records Bureau check and have enhanced clearance will be permitted to rock baby Jesus. Persons must carry their CRB disclosure with them at all times and be prepared to provide three forms of identification before rocking commences.
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
A risk assessment must be submitted before an open sleigh is considered safe for members of the public to travel on. The risk assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly if passengers are of larger proportions. Please note, permission must be gained from landowners before entering their fields. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.
While Shepherds Watched
While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
The Union of Shepherds has complained that it breaches health and safety regulations to insist that shepherds watch their flocks without appropriate seating arrangements being provided, therefore benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available. Shepherds have also requested that due to the inclement weather conditions at this time of year that they should watch their flocks via cctv cameras from centrally heated shepherd observation huts.
Please note, the Angel of the Lord is reminded that before shining his / her glory all around she / he must ascertain that all shepherds have been issued with glasses capable of filtering out the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

You are advised that under the Equal Opportunities for All Policy, it is inappropriate for persons to make comment with regard to the ruddiness of any part of Mr. R. Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from the Reindeer Games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence. A full investigation will be implemented and sanctions – including suspension on full pay – will be considered whilst this investigation takes place.
Little Donkey
Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load
The RSPCA have issued strict guidelines with regard to how heavy a load that a donkey of small stature is permitted to carry, also included in the guidelines is guidance regarding how often to feed the donkey and how many rest breaks are required over a four hour plodding period. Please note that due to the increased risk of pollution from the dusty road, Mary and Joseph are required to wear face masks to prevent inhalation of any airborne particles. The donkey has expressed his discomfort at being labeled ‘little’ and would prefer just to be simply referred to as Mr. Donkey. To comment upon his height or lack thereof may be considered an infringement of his equine rights.
We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Whilst the gift of gold is still considered acceptable – as it may be redeemed at a later date through such organisations as ‘Cash for Gold’ etc, gifts of frankincense and myrrh are not appropriate due to the potential risk of oils and fragrances causing allergic reactions. A suggested gift alternative would be to make a donation to a worthy cause in the recipients name or perhaps give a gift voucher.
We would not advise that the traversing kings rely on navigation by stars in order to reach their destinations and suggest the use of RAC Routefinder or satellite navigation, which will provide the quickest route and advice regarding fuel consumption. Please note as per the guidelines from the RSPCA for Mr Donkey, the camels carrying the three kings of Orient will require regular food and rest breaks. Facemasks for the three kings are also advisable due to the likelihood of dust from the camel feet.
Huhnes!
oh dear, the new labour trolls have resorted to posting complete gibberesh.
which means we have got the motherfuckers on the run.

Way too long

Can he claim for being a bellend?
Quentin, old chap, do what I do, get a Somali family into the bell tower temporarily and claim a grant from the local authority to bring it up to standard. They will be useful around the house and, if you make sure they are illegals (ask Pattie Scotland for advice on this) the Border Agency will eventually cart them away, leaving your little house as good as new. Job done!
Hang em all

Labour’s Frank Cook and John Reid both claimed for toilet seats. Presumably neither will be inviting Prescott around for dinner again.
Brown’s taking the piss as well.

Any wonder that he was so reluctant to have expenses published in full. He really is a santimious, odious Huhne. By the way has anyone yet looked at Geoff Huhne’s expnses?
You got to remember that Ed doesn’t believe in a single thing he spouts about. As he keeps telling everyone – he’s in the persuasion business. Don’t blame him guv he’s just an ‘ad man’. We’re being ‘ad.
Mr Hoon`s expenses may take a day or two, to cover properly.
With the General Election ahead why should the majority of the current batch of MPs give a damn what the public think?
With no jobs to look forward to, why shouldn’t they hoard the cash when the going is good? Surely their expenses are legit and a perk of the job?
Morally wrong, legally ok.
Love that link top right from fail blog!

I noticed mention here of Michael Fart. A choice memory is of a BBC female, I cannot remember who saying ‘Michael Far…Foot said today…Which illustrated what I had long held Michael Fart was called off air.
Anyway, this abominable fellow needs to be ‘suspended’ from his belltower by way of piano-wire.
It will be useful for ALL of them. I do hope Quentin Davies is a portly chap, it will be over in a trice, or perhaps he better be thin, then he can struggle for a bit, after all we all have to struggle with the mess they have managed to get us all in.
Oh fucking delicious. Knocks ‘mots’ and ‘duck house’ out of the vocabulary of the jackass Labour apologists.
20K to fix a bell-tower. Hahahahaha. You could buy a house in most Labour constituencies for that sort of money.
Class war bruvvers!!!!

Hat tip to Mr Ludwig von Mises for saying it & Emimem who posted this little gem on the daily mail website:
‘There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.’

Rather worrying that it takes somebody who died several decades ago to sum our present situation up so accurately and concisely.
Representative democracy cannot subsist if a great part of the voters are on the government pay roll. If the members of parliament no longer consider themselves mandatories of the taxpayers but deputies of those receiving salaries, wages, subsidies, doles, and other benefits from the treasury, democracy is done for.
40% of the population are on the labour government payroll, Mise is spot on.
Von Mises never realised that I would be able to abolish boom and bust. As indeed I did. So we are in a new globalised, techmologimical world, not the eye-run age, where I have abolished boom and bust and new rules apply.
Nurse, where’s my pills?
I’ve been watching you. Especially you, prancing around like a tit!
You need working on boy!
If Brown/Darling had bitten the bullet and proposed the budget the Irish premier just has it would have been far more credible, would have boosted their chances of being re-elected and staved off the threat of Britain losing its AAA rating, but when you have a clunking fist running things from dreamland THINGS CAN ONLY GET WORSER.
Gordon Brown is Bonkers. It is becoming clearer all the time. Guido really needs to bring back the Mantra and lovely Ronaldesque character.
BROWN IS BONKERS
Guido, your postscript in red is very interesting… I hope what you think might happen happens sooner rather than later….
He’s Liebour, so don’t expect the BBC to mention it.
They’ll mention it alright. He’s ex-Tory – defected (with impeccable career timing) in summer 2007.
The BBC will report ‘Ex-Tory MP Claims 20K for Repairs to Belltower’.

Coincidence that this news is released the day after the ‘we’re fucked’ budget speech? I think not.
This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.
Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.
THE SITUATION
You are in England, York to be specific.
There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.
This is a flood of biblical proportions.
You are a photo-journalist working for a major newspaper, and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You’re trying to shoot career-making photos.
There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing into the water.
Nature is unleashing all its destructive fury.
THE TEST
Suddenly, you see a man in the water.
He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.
You move closer… Somehow, the man looks familiar…
You suddenly realise who it is… It’s Gordon Brown! You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options:
You can save the life of Gordon Brown or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country’s most powerful men!
THE QUESTION
Here’s the question, and please give an honest answer…
Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
Fuck the film – push him under to make 100% sure.
TOTALLY AGREE.
This was very funny the first time I heard it. c. 1966.
He’ll be out of Parliament at the general election anyway. As he represents a safe Conservative constituency and they were up in arms after his defection in 2007 the locals will get their own back.
I used to live there and lets just say that he is not a popular chap anyway…
Perhaps they will arrange for the bell tower to err … fall over?
Go and see your MP at one of his surgery’s, and tell them in a loud voice why you think they’re a cnut. Even if they haven’t personally profited from the exe’s, they are protecting those that have.
You feel much refreshed after, i can assure you, having been escorted from the premises by the police. But making a noise and creating a scene, can be very theraputic.
It most certainly can!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer toff. He and Bercow should compare notes.
Shame on you guido there is no such thing as a Labour Toff, it seems both Quentin and Gordon now have “towering” records.
“there is no such thing as a Labour Toff”
That’s right, in the same sense as a plump comedienne (I forget her name) said on a R4 interview recently, and I quote: “Black people can’t be racist”.
I rest my case.
Lard Barrel herself….
This troughing pig is my MP….but not for much longer.

For Hoon The Bell Tolls.
Q. Why has the expenses claims been published today?
A. To detract from the pre budget report.
A coincidence – I think not.
For whom the bells toll. It tolls for thee, Quentin.
correction… for whom the bell tolls…. Us again as usual.
What’s the fuss! He’s only improving my home. The rain pisses in and gives me the right hump.
if quentin were to be lynched by a mob of good citizens and hanged from the bell tower then that would be a good message to the other thieves in this ROTTEN PARLIAMENT.
by the way, the great thick as thieves was the very first person to describe this parliament as a ROTTEN PARLIAMENT.
that is one of my slogans.
MUM! I’ve had a little accident!
That’s another.

Does Mr Q Davies have a moat?
A dedication to Quentin Davies in the form of the last verse of “Losing It” by Rush, from the Grace Under Pressure album: -
“Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
Most of us just dream about
The things we’d like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee…..”

What did they say about printing money and seizing private pensions?
It will be copied in other countries and is a result of a malfunction in the so called free market because of reckless greed and manipulation.
Pension schemes are a scam to feed the plutocratic bankers with fees and commissions. Having manipulated and milked all the larger schemes they are moved to switch the gormless employees on to undefined stick the finger in the air and guess what might be left personal pensions of defined contributions.
Free market dogma is a confidence trick on working people.
German corporate pensions are unfunded promises.
UK corporate pensions are Ponzi schemes where company A invests in company B so that company B invests in company A. It is just a merry go round of fees and commission and non job financial sector jobs. They are the true heavy bureaucracy wieghing down on the people.
German Company pension schemes sound a lot like the UK public service pension schemes. No assets.
UK pension schemes are a ponzi scheme you say?
Waaaay ahead of you son….

The financial markets, propelled upwards by pyramid buying from pension schemes for the last 20 years are doomed as more people retire than find work.
Suck don’t blow.
Why be such a flirt?
What happened in Argentina is a template.
The free market doesn\’t exist.
What exists is people stupid enough to hand over their assets to thieves.
The thieves then gamble the assets and come back for more from stupid people via their governments.
It has to stop the so called free market has to be toppled.
Naaaaah. All we need is a bit of personal responsibility from all concerned.
Don’t borrow an insane amount to buy a house that clearly ain’t worth it. Don’t lend an insane amount to a self-cert muppet who clearly hasn’t the wit or ability to plan for tomorrows food let alone the next 25 years mortgage. And most of all, and this is very important, don’t elect and re-elect absolute financial imbeciles to borrow bazillions (in your name) just to engineer a million ‘safe’ votes.
And we need a bit of personal responsibility from our elected officials when ,despite numerous warnings, the only defence they can come up with is ‘we didn’t see it coming, it’s not my fault, it’s all the yanks fault, it’s all the banks fault…..’
Not good enough Brown. Not good enough Labour. Fuck off.
Personal responsibility would have averted this whole economic clusterfuck.
Very limp jgm2, very limp.
Most of the bad debts are not mortgages or similar to self cert muppets or to high earning partners in City law firms or anyone in between. Most of the bad loans are corporate loans and mumbo jumbo CDS and CDO, that is to business in the private sector.
The bankers went berserk. Their own Directors didn\’t understand what was going on.
The false ideology and broken dogma of so called free markets is over.
All it has created is an overblown mendacious kleptocratic expensive bureaucracy of layabouts also known as the financial sector. They are like the weavers at the start of the industrial revolution and now their days in clover are numbered.
Fuckin’ A!…Same here please.
Perhaps there will be an incident involving Miss Scarlet, a candlestick and the conservatory……
You can rant all you want but surely it is now obvious that political affilliation is irrelevant. You hoons who cannot see this keep these lying, cheating, filthy snake-oil salesmen in office.
If you think this is bad wait until –if– the “expenses” of Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg come to light. She knocks these bastards into a cocked hat.
This is what you get if you live in a secretive, shifty, fundamentally unfair society. The only way forward is huge, insititutional change. The whole system must be removed and replaced. Oh and before you get on your hind legs and start to whine, there are other ways. Think for once.
Still think you are living in a democracy?
fuck off wanker.
A man of insight, I see. Have you considered a career in politics?
I am a genius and therefore my insight is far far far superior to yours.
I am just speaking in a language that is understandable to cripples like you.
you fucking imbecile.
I trust your award of genius was made by a more reputable firm than whichever one proclaimed Gordon Brown a genius.
as I am a genius I can categorically state that gordon brown is a dullard.
the fact that nobody challenged my statement goes some way to proving it to be a fact but here is the clincher:
what sort of a chancellor of the exchequer would cut the miltitary budget by 20% during war-time.
only a total fucking dullard.
or lunatic ofcourse.
Ignore TaT, he hates the current system but is so addicted to the hatred of it, he would hate to see it replaced.
You are right. The entire system has become so corrupted that it needs to be abolished and replaced. Bring back common law as the premier standard and let us enjoy OUR sovereignty once more.
now you are being cheeky ned.
I am a democrat not an anarchist.
the way forward is to throw away the shit and keep the good stuff.
there are many aspects of our democracy which are workable and so to demand the destruction of the entire system is to play into the hands of the party politicians who have so badly eroded our democracy purely for their own party’s benefit.
but the number one priority is the repossession of our sovereignty and I am sure we can find common ground on that issue.
tat – that’s almost reasonable

There’s always a strong whiff of treachery when you come across these Tommy Turncoat types. All those people thinking they are voting against liebour, only to get dumped on when opportunistic politicians think they know which way the wind is blowing. Putting their electorate first is the last thing on their minds, so extending it to fleecing them over expenses, as we see here, is no big step at all.
Gordon Brown has just been doing a questions and answers session on local West Midlands radio – Beacon Radio – my warehouse supervisor came to me with an official request to turn the radio off whilst Brown was talking as it was increasing the stress levels to an unacceptable level on the factory floor, possibly breaching health and safety regulsations
Lembit Opiks claims are interesting. £4,800 full amount on food, £6,655 towards a £12k renovation and a receipt for emergency electrical work… where the emergency Sparky had to do a 418 mile and a 316 mile chargable trips.
http://daniel1979blog.blogspot.com/2009/12/few-receipts-that-stand-out.html
The sparky must have been on 24 hour call out for the entire U.K. ASIF.
The sparky generously waived the ‘travel charge’ (whatever that is) and just made do with the £300 mileage.

seriously brown is mental. He is on tv saying oh i paid back the £500 – no one asked me to with the smug look of a two year old who has used the potty for the first time.
This is just too much now.
How many TV’s does Jacqui Smith have now – is there porn in each room?
Yeeerrr!
Pity nobody asked him how he intends to pay back the 2 trillion he has clocked up, smug look would vanish.

Handwritten notes not easy to follow, but protests about accountancy not being a strong suit. Also pressures of office make him overlook claims.
strange his lack of time and skills always leads him to over- rather than under-claim
and surely making an expense claim only requires the skill of adding up? Why does he need to be an accountant?
and a knowledge of, and ability to understand, rules would seem a pre-requisite of a Lord Chancellor and ex-home secretary, ex-foreign secretary etc.
methinks our Jack is getting his defence in early and often……
Sutton Coldfield MP Andrew Mitchell claimed £299 for Landed Gentry publications called Burke’s Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage 107th Edition.
Strangely he claimed for one copy at £299, but also claimed for 2 further copies at £180 each, total cost after post £688.
What has this publication got to do with being an MP, and why buy 3 copies ?????
He has a lot of wobbly furniture?
To sell them on E-bay.
As an MP he’s in them. A vanity purchase.
£80 second hand on Amazon. = £240 cash in hand
This IS Sutton Coldfield one of the better parts of Greater Birmingham. Baronets,Knights etc are two a penny here as are the Rolls/Bentleys/Duck Houses and Moats. and Private Schools So he will need a copy for his Constituency Office;One for his Parliamentary Office and another to carry with him when he’s on the “rubber chicken” circuit and also so that he knows who’s who when he’s out canvassing.He can read up as he walks up the very long driveways(if they allow him through the electronic entrance gates that is)
…and in 2007 Andrew Mitchell had bespoke book shevles built in his home. Cost to tax payer £1,868. After all Burke’s Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage 107th Edition is quite a heavy load of books, especially if you 3 copies
and the Fees Office said…..
…..wait for it……
…..”Pull the other one, it’s got bells on”
how fee..bell !!!!!!!!!

The Son of Manse was interviewed in a hospital.
What strikes me is how clean and effecient the hospital is in the background.
My mother was in hospital for 4 days this week – I visited on Tuesday (the 1st time in a NHS hospital for 25 years) It was like a chuffing 3rd world country. People shouting on the ward – no one knew what was going on etc. The staff all walked around as if the patients were there as an annoying distraction stopping them from doing their jobs.
My mother being an ex nurse put it beautifully – they have forgotten how to “care” for or about patients.
I am not one to lambast the nurses – they do a tough job, under pressure for little pay.
So lets look at it from another way:
Maybe if Broon (or any MP/PM for that matter) spent more time in the shit hospitals that needed help rather than walking round the the nice new ones he would see the things that need to be done rather than convince himself all is well and the people lover nim – NOT
Here is something I heard. The ward in Birmingham Hospital, Selly Oak where they send the troops from the zone (I was one once) if a wonderfully run operation – apparently it is funded and run by a charity.
Not sure if it is true but it would make sense when you add up – no Govt management = slick operation.
Nurses???? “I am not one to lambast the nurses – they do a tough job, under pressure for little pay.”
Do not want to tar all with same brush as many are excellent and caring, but the qualified ones are well paid these days, and there are others that would put Hitlers sister to shame……
So Davies “admires Brown’s ‘vision’”?
Seeing as the Scottish f*ckwit called off an election because he wanted to share his vision – and we’re still waiting for it – perhaps Davies could let us know what it is?
Unless of course Brown is a useless, lying, tw@t and has no idea what he’s going to do from one childish tantrum to the next…
This is what I like to see – people keeping tabs on government – not vice versa. Essential for a healthy democracy. More of the same please…

No, No, No, as a result of these revelations, we’ll be saying, ‘Let’s vote for those competent, honest, intellectual giants of strategy, economics and freedom, the Soshalists.’

Socialism is the perfect tool
To motivate the common fool;
So long as leaders crave its power,
The party delays its final hour.
Socialism’s purpose is control
(And not the freeing of the people);
No honest mind; no will sublime,
But rather, keeping folks in line.
Socialism, once created,
Is just one way this problem’s solved.
But having once found this solution,
It may not die through evolution.
It likely won’t, to be succinct,
Just fade away and go extinct.
They’ll be here till the world grows old:
Socialists… and the common cold.
Brilliant !

that is a very odd post isn’t it. the anti-semitic stuff was particularly nasty.
but strangely enough I think it is probably a new labour troll or possibly a zionist troll who posted it.
it strikes me as an attempt at a reverse smear.
there is a good chance that balls is a CIA agent ditto cooper ditto miliband.
by associating such anti-semitic language to the fact that the above people are traitors to their country is a propagandist trick of dirtying the message with fascist and extremist terminology in order to discredit the truth by presenting it by a lunatic whom people would obviously completely ignore.
it is of a better quality propaganda than I have had to deal with so far and as it shows that various government individuals must be deeply concerned about the factual information that is published here.
the implications of 5.18pm’s otherwise inane rant are significant. it means we have government trolls coming here attempting not just to tell lies but even worse, to take truthful posts and to try to discredit them because they do not want the truth to get out.
that means we must be scaring them.
good one.
I saw McDoom being interviewed this morning. It seems that because he chose to repay the £500 he claimed for painting his outhouse without being asked to that is all right then. You have to ask why the greedy sod thought it was OK to claim it in the first place. He can hardly say it was an oversight.

Wonder why it says Quentin Davies ‘Socialist and Parasite’, a bit tautological.
Surely ‘socialist’ and ‘parasite’ are synonyms.
He’s was a Tory unti a year or two ago
what do you expect?
What’s that in english ?
John Quentin Davies (born 29 May 1944) is a British Labour politician, who has been the Member of Parliament for Grantham and Stamford since 1987. Originally elected as a Conservative, he defected to Labour on 26 June 2007.
He contested the 1977 Birmingham Ladywood by-election caused by the resignation of Brian Walden to become a television presenter but was defeated by John Sever who won the Birmingham Ladywood seat with a majority of 3,825. He was elected to the House of Commons ten years later at the 1987 General Election for the safe Conservative seat of Stamford and Spalding on the retirement of the sitting MP, Kenneth Lewis. Davies held the seat with a majority of 13,991 votes and has remained an MP since. The constituency was abolished in 1997, and he has since represented the redrawn seat of Grantham and Stamford.
In Parliament, he was appointed as the Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science Angela Rumbold in 1988, and remained her PPS in her incarnation as the Minister at the Home Office. After the 1992 General Election he was a member of the Treasury Committee until he was promoted to the Opposition frontbench by William Hague in 1998 as a spokesman on social security, moving in 1999 to speak on Treasury matters, moving again in 2000 as a spokesman on defence. After the 2001 General Election he joined the Shadow Cabinet of Iain Duncan Smith, even though he had backed Kenneth Clarke’s leadership bid. Under Iain Duncan Smith, he became the Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, continuing until the election of Michael Howard in 2003, since when he became a member of the International Development Committee, a role that he continued with until he joined the Labour Party in 2007.
Prior to becoming a Minister, Davies held many directorships and consultancies with several companies.[1] He was awarded the ‘Parliamentarian of the Year Award’ by The Guardian in 1996, the same year he was named ‘Backbencher of the Year’ by BBC Radio 4. Somewhat unusually, he is a Thatcherite Europhile and was the Chairman of the Conservative Group for Europe from March 2006 until his defection to Labour in June 2007. He was once fined for two charges of animal cruelty relating to sheep on his estate;[2] following his conviction and the immediate dismissal of the shepherd who had been left in charge of the estate, he was greeted by Labour MPs with a retort of ‘Baaa!’ Some land on his estate is now rented to a local cattle farmer.
